  3. Earning pocket money by throwing out the garbage. The process isn't as straightforward in Korea than in, say, the US, but at least it earns me money to spend.

      repairing odyssey 2 controllers is easy, just wire it up to a 2600 stick, or build something custom , or wire up a male db-9 and make it support detachable controllers

      Good call, personally I prefer an arcade joystick (built a special twin stick one for robotron), but a nes pad is good

  14. When I was a kid, we were taught Jupiter had 13 moons. Now I just learned from watching season 2 of The Expanse that it has 79 moons. Checking a Wikipedia article, it has closer to 600 natural satellites ranging in diameter from 5300 km for Ganymede to a few meters for most. It is basically surrounded by its own asteroid belt.

  25. so I made mash potatoes tonight for dinner, and my daughter had one bite,  she asked if she could have more.  I said of course, and I turn around to grab a little bowl for her and when I look back she had walked off with the entire gallon container I had made them in.
