Can't decide if I want to try reading the IDW TMNT comics again. I read a bit in the past but lost interest. I've also heard really bad things about the Ross/Sophie Campbell run. I suppose I could read up to the point before it starts but I don't know. I did read the first Batman and Ghostbusters crossovers and they were really good.

Searching for figures on Amazon and Ebay can be impossible at times with the amount of bootlegs. While some of them have obvious tells, others may look pretty legit until you get them off the card and they fall apart.

Might as well get bootlegs intentionally on AliExpress or so.
Got some that were pretty good actually that way, for really damn cheap.
If you want the legit stuff, you should go on specialist sites instead, they do actually quality check.

In any case, my grievance is that actual electronics stores have gone all but extinct and online stores seem to still be limited to consumer electronics levels. I couldn't find anywhere to get basic piezo crystals for an improved version of my project, alas

...you have piqued my interest - details, please....
I can't divulge too much, but in short, it's a device that gets the position it is in via ultrasonic, that's timed by with a different signal that tells the other device to start counting.
I currently use 40khz transceivers, but they are a bit too directional for my purposes.

Yeah, ultrasonic tends to be straight line only, and it gets worse as you climb the spectrum - take all the problems speaker designers have with axis width for tweeters and multiply several times. (Currently running a stack of records through my ultrasonic cleaners, which use 40kHz as well, coincidentally - I'm thinking that must be a fairly standard part.)

Can you drop down to 20-25 kHz, and use a more conventional tweeter/supertweeter driver? Those may give you more spread on the initial dispersal pattern.

Rather than that, my Idea is to simply use more piezo crystals at increasing angles, kinda like having a disco ball on the front of the device.

Scheduling things without checking for overlapping, when you could easily do this from a shared calender of the same organisation you all work under, especially when you reschedule things.
Had to sit in three zoom calls at the same time this morning, because the fuckers couldn't check the shared calender and go "hmm, maybe I should do this at another time?".

I've been reading The Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and there's a lot of pollution, poaching, and fish netting plots. I feel like I'm reading an after-school special. The issue I'm on now is about a guy who merges with a satellite and uses his power to stop people from destroying the earth or something. He first kidnaps April and has her record him lecturing the populace about how they ruined everything and tells them what he plans to do to stop it or something. I haven't read the rest yet. I just want to read stories about the turtles going on adventures and stuff, man.

I want to read CSM but Mangaplus keeps deleting chapters so I forgot which chapter I was on.
