holy poo poo, false negative blew up my life with weapons-level holiday cheer. i wasn't able to take pictures of everything, but check out the awesome decorations on the boxes! there's: * a bunch of great stuff to eat - adorable hot chocolate reindeer kits, spicy honey (holy cow it's really good),and a nice mustardy dipping sauce called "awesome sauce" that lives up to its name. we didn't get a chance to have the hot chocolate tonight, but will definitely do it tomorrow! * a crystal-growing kit to do with Little Jones * some fancy soap. it is cedar and rosemary goat's milk soap and smells amazing. it isn't clear if there is an intended recipient, so ms jones and i will rassle for it * a NESDR Smart v5. This is a very solid software defined radio dongle that I am very happy to have. it came with a huge array of adapters and jumpers, a magnetic antenna base, three antennas, and the most adorable little balun you've ever seen so that's a super solid and very thoughtful pile of gifts! but then there's ALSO a Ham It Up upconverter. this thing basically adds 125mhz to incoming signals and delivers superior performance below 30mhz compared to dongles' built-in direct sampling capabilities. and while i do love the wild world of VHF and UHF, signals below 30mhz are my favorites. this set is a complete setup for a rad SDR station and I am _freaking stoked_ to play with it! i've poked at it a little with OpenWebRX and it's great so far! ![]() ![]() Thank you False Negative! You've made the Jones family's yosmas dreams come true ❤️ ![]() ![]() this dog was not included in the package, but he wanted to be part of the festivities: ![]()

What if the dog wanted the soap? Or the SDR? Or both? ![]() Also, SDR sounds cool, I hope you do cool enough stuff to make a thread!

I'm tickled that radio will work well for you, it was a bit of a gamble as I wasn't quite sure what bands you'd want to tinker on. I'd also be interested in seeing whatever you wind up doing with it! Merry YosMas ![]() PS. Thanks again Fuzzy Mammal for setting this up. This was my first year and I had a really good time hunting around for things, I'll be back next year!

Today I got my YosMas gift from Sniep! Before I could do anything else we had to put the box through customs: ![]() Once we were cleared with a "confirmed as box" I was allowed to proceed: ![]() First off a light! We also suffer power outages on a regular basis and there's no such thing as "too many lights". We resort to candles a lot and this is a much safer alternative for the bedroom (especially with the cats!). ![]() What's this about running a car company? Sniep has placed a great responsibility on me. I appreciate their faith! What's in the box? It's a boardgame! This looks wildly complicated at first glance, and it weighs a TON. I'm a huge Factorio / logistics game nerd and I've never had the chance to really try one of these games in real table-top format. I'm excited to get this thing going! ![]() Titan seems very interested in all the little pieces this game has! I'm sure he'll be a great help in getting things to run smoothly. ![]() Lastly the cats LOVE their gift although it's already starting to cause conflict! ![]() I appreciate the gift card as well! I'm sure it will be of use ![]() Thank you very much Sniep! Merry YOSMAS! FalseNegative fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Dec 29, 2022 |

FalseNegative posted:Edited my post! hahhahaa thank you. Anyway I also got some things, and no clue as to the santa!! Two packages, specifically. One contained this! ![]() First, A tin of home made chocolate chip and raisin cookies! Yum! Then three vials of booze! I wasn't able to get the QR codes to scan, but I already know what's up with Japanese whiskey so here we go! * Suntory Kurayoshi 18 * Suntory Yamazaki 12 * Oban 14 I LOVE the Yamazaki 12 already (have a bottle stashed away!) I mostly just sip the Hibiki blended when I'm doing JP whiskey! The Kurayoshi 18 is new to me! I will be sipping the Oban tonight, thank you! And then from this package, finally a R2 tamagochi! I actually never had a tamagochi growing up, so this will be a new thing for me! But wait there was another package, also unidentified sender and this one honestly I wasnt sure if was a secret santa gift or not becuase i also am into lock picking, and have ordered from CI before! haha ![]() A pick set and a easily re-pinnable practice lock, including security pins! While I have plenty of picks (thank you regardless,) the practice lock is COOL! I did not have one of these yet, so now I can practice my LPL imitations even better! Thanks!

Kuvo posted:thank you santa! i only hate some of the gifts! I forgot to identify myself, but I’m your Santa baby. I wanted to add something to put in the glass but I got super sick with the flu that’s going around and more than ran out of time. The nuts are local, hopefully you’re not allergic. I forgot to include info about the pad, but it’s a murphpad from mechwild. The switches are durock lilacs lubed with 205g0 and the springs with 105. Stabs were clipped and greased. Poor soldering job done by yours truly.

a good start when it comes to retribution for the horrors of anime nite also each year i consider joining yosmas, but then gifts like this remind me i could never hope to achieve this level of... whatever this is, and i give up before signing up. and i don't even know what i like so i'd pity anyone who'd end up having to get something for me that said that silicon graphics glass owns
