I see being facetious is lost. Yes I know they don’t use a lot of space, however, they do package all their own dependencies. That means you do end up with duplicates.

While true… RIP disk space.

As someone who isn’t a woodworker, but enjoys having things that make me happy- if you like the design and it makes you happy, go for it. You have nothing to lose but time, and if you learn something in the process (i.e. those tricky looking joints you mentioned) then you are ahead no matter what.

Very true if you are doing a lot of work like that. I was only suggesting the easiest method for what I assume would be a one time thing.

You’re question sounds like you are running the wires. They make numbered stickers specifically for marking long pulls of wire so you don’t have to test them. Just wrap a number around both ends and voila. https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-42-029-Booklet-Identification/dp/B000VZM37C?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ovuOUGMUj8C_DNFC00PsO15E6OyQQs4s4YRCRQ5SIvBh8TpdDH5nLU03qL-42bh-oOJCoVFYwVtUPeQlqhKnzvZMXHJ9RhzUumZprTY0Mrg_DQ7DSGe0DRcclV3BjnXeXLgg2Ko7AcPG_HShb6wik2ckoe52dNfzxqzSttiSrLzwENDsAQBJxsJx8g9lw-2GsDbb2IobpirvO78ZRERnIA.ZX5nJbb1fav8j3hRfA9xqgHVaHZf91iFrAY574w2q8k&dib_tag=se&keywords=wire+number+labels&qid=1731039683&sr=8-3

Well… that escalated quickly.

Yar har har matey!

Stares confused in PC…

Not even in the top ten weirdest things today. Do you even internet?

Where is my own personal Jesus?!

If you like the supernatural/demon ones, check out The Autopsy of Jane Doe. I loved it, the tension is absolutely perfect and a fantastic cast to boot.

Would have been around '93 or '94. I wasn’t very old.

Mine was a baseball game on an Atari 2600. Couldn’t tell you more than that, my granpa was super into baseball and tech so he bought an Atari brand new. We dug it out years later and played.

A man of culture I see.

That’s a bummer.

That… that isn’t really what I meant…

That is a dev/publisher issue. A lot of games work now. EAC is just a flip of a switch basically.

Oh I know that. However I don’t own the work rig, won’t do anything but work on it.

This is part of why I preach Linux. I don’t care what distro, just get away from Microsoft.

Not a GD, so here’s my 2 cents on the top 2 - build from scratch. It will be cheaper in the long run as you can have an upgrade path. Some SIs use proprietary parts that will screw you later. Any non-rolling distro will be good. If she is a long time Windows user, I would recommend making it have KDE for the desktop as it seems to be pretty Windows friendly in orientation.
