    Also if you want to buy some inexpensive stocking stuffers, how about a "kickstand" for your cell phone?  This way you can finish that movie anywhere without having your hand go numb.  << HERE >>

    Does your coffee get cold before you drink the whole cup?  Why not cover the cup... WITH A STIRLING ENGINE?  << HERE >>
    Not only will your coffee stay hotter longer, you'll be able to tell when it starts cooling down by the speed of the flywheel!

     
    This one was too good to pass up!

    Giga Pet just released the new interesting virtual pet if you feel like the 90s. Most so far have been rehashes of 90s pets. I was surprised to see Cryptids. Pretty unique idea. 🙂 Here.

    Kinetic Swinging Sticks on Amazon << HERE >>
    Okay, this one is cool, and they've been around for decades, but it's expensive and has a 5 year warranty.  One should know though that they all eventually fail.

    I sent them a message stating that if they don't ship it this week, instead of doing a product review on YouTube, I'll be doing one on their lousy customer service instead.

    Great price!  But I always imagine this end-result for me and a drone.  Or having it end up on the roof like a frisbee.

    I don't have images but I'd like to try this as either a one-time box or a subscription for the disc-based systems.  Plus they have vinyl.  Vinyl!

    It is the original 3 ft model used on the original pilots and series (you can tell when it's the 3 ft model when there is no internal or nacelle lighting).  Stolen from Gene Roddenberry in 1978 (he loaned it out to a special effects firm, but it was never returned)...never to turn up again until now in this e-bay auction. 
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/256276685400
    Here's a pic in Gene's office:


    And here's a pic from the auction

     
    At this point, it is unknown what is going to happen with this.  I imagine lawyers are involved.  Stay tuned, as this is really exciting news for Star Trek fans.

    This is really nice, but please tell us more.

    Are you a Thai teacher?  Or maybe you have ancestry or a family member from Thailand?  Perhaps you plan to visit or move there?
    Congrats on completing the training.

    No I'm not a Thai-language teacher, I'm just a student. I'm a Thai American I get the Thai from my Mom. My Dad met my Mom in Thailand in the Vietnam war he brought her home but when was a kid my Mom tried to teach me but when living in the US and everyone is speaking English it don't work but anyway. One day I'll be visiting Thailand to see where my Mom came from.

    Catching up on this Disney series. I’m up to episode 6 and it’s getting better and better with each episode.

    Good to know.  I'll put that on our list.  I cancelled the Disney+ after watching Andor (which I didn't like at all).  Picked up Hulu to watch "Only Murders in the Building" season 3.  That's done now, so maybe go back to Disney+ now. 

    PS - I got a sweetheart deal on Paramount+.  I think it was $24 for a year.  So we've been watching "Lower Decks" weekly.

    I think the deal came because I had been a subscriber in the past and quit.  Then I was on a free month trial and they e-mailed the deal near the end of that month.
