Heh, I dunno why I was imagining edible logos in the form of perforated blotter paper... I mean, watching these videos is often a trip but that'd be on another level I guess.
Fun fact: HARIBO stands for „Hans Riegel, Bonn“ and it’s the name of the founder and the city it’s from. That being said it should be ADBLPO instead of ADRIBO.
That Tektronix device is known as a sync generator or black generator. It's the heart of a TV station or video production place. It was used in television stations to sync up equipment so that the signal would stay correct as it travels throughout the plant. Without it a color signal would go out of sync and be all rainbow like and engineers would run around trying to get it working again. The equipment would use the signal as a reference for the actual video signal. Just to note in a old analog TV station we used composite video instead of RGB because we would had just combined the 3 signals at the transmitter anyway so it didn't make sense, and space is a premium, and cables cost $$$$$.
I used to love those Harpoon games way back in the day. It was a lot of attacking circles and lines though with a Quick time video every once and a while. You had to have a good imagination but it was fun.
Sad to hear that your YT renevue hasn't been great lately, but I'm actually happy you're not taking the clickbait route like many other channels just to make quick cash. All those flashy OMG YOU WONT BELIEVE IT CLICK NOW videos are making me puke.
Some people are just doing what they have to to survive. its sad when people have to do that, but if they're already doing YT as a job its really hard to just find something else if revenue dries up.
The truth is, the more popular Adrian is the more chance this will continue, ie, when the nodality wears off it's the $ that incentives continuation. It's why I let short ads run at the start and at the end - I browse something else or get a coffee during. lol -.
@@SidneyCritic : A lot of this may be that so many of us viewers are actually using TH-cam Premium to bypass the ads.... (Adblock only works so-far, and impacts on the TH-camr involved). So they're trying to find new ways to attract revenue, now that they're losing out on ad-revenue from Premium users.... Screw the 'Clickbait' thumbnail idea - I've noticed of late a lot of videos keep changing the thumbnails and wondered what that's all about... so now I know! ;-)
@@Nukle0n I still have a working build with the 800MHz version and 768MB of RAM. It was a really great CPU. Ran it for like 8 years in DOS, Win98 and WinXP.
Thank you for not participating in that stupid thumbnail clickbait trend that seems to have spread like an out-of-control virus lately. I have unfollowed several channels that I used to watch regularly because they went down that road.
If you're unsure if something is edible putting it into your mouth is a quick, but potentially dangerous way of finding out. Also, if something tastes good that's usually not sufficient proof of its safety, in the unlikely event of someone using the sweetness of candy to prevent one's tongue from detecting a poison.
is that true? but honestly, i would have assumed some kind of candy, too. just because of the packaging of it. also, might not be a good idea to use a dye that colors your fingers when using?!
Use a scope on the generator. I'm fairly certain it just makes a blank, but exact NTSC frame. And I already am in love with it. It does work with other devices in a mainframe to drive other devices, i.e. there are matching pattern generators, etc.
I have an NTSC test generator even older than that. It's a Heathkit CD-2. It is tube based and uses multiple multivibrators to generate the test video signals. It can also be used as a visual exciter with an external video input.
I know the video stated these were all references to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory but just in case ... Charlie Bucket was the boy character who eventually inherited the chocolate factory from Willy Wonka. Sorry if that is too obvious.
I was wondering if the name was a coincidence. The only other Bucket family I know was in the UK sitcom Keeping Up Appearances where she would ask people to say her name as "bouquet".
@@6581punk I guess it could be a coincidence, but I doubt it. "Charlie" kept putting "himself" in the letter, but it could just be something that he has been teased over his entire life! :)
Regarding views on YT: you are the 3rd person I hear from about the views going down, and people in the comments suggested that YT might have changed how the views are counted/processed lately. Others suggest it's due to lifted restrictions in various parts of the world and people just go outside more. Me personally, I'm mostly interested in thorough PC repair videos, so I watch repair parts and tend to skip over other stuff.
The engineering on 70s Tektronix gear is incredible. Have a 5000 and 7000 mainframe scope from them. Rock solid (once calibrated) and well documented. The downside is that they used some custom parts which are hard/expensive to replace now. Also have a Tek vector-based graphics system from about the same era; mindblowing stuff.
Harpoon was a pretty descent naval surface warfare simulator. It was predicated on simulating naval engagements between NATO vs the Warsaw Pact, and US vs USSR. It was a software version of a cardboard table top strategy version. It's a Cold War geek game back from the day.
@@AndrewTubbiolo Hmm, the oldest machine I can recall using it on was a 486. The earlier versions of Harpoon weren't horrible, but the later versions were nearly unplayable. So I took a look around an it's still for sale at Matrix for $60. $60 is a bit stiff, but I understand that Matrix has some killer Christmas sales and it went for $10 last year. It's a bundle for all of the versions from pre-release to 2003.16b. So that means plenty of opportunities to re-live old bugs. :)
I played Harpoon during the 90's. Remember the book and some realistic gameplay. It really gave a glimpse of advanced military strategy. I don't play military games anymore, but can be interesting for someone else.
The 68LC040RC20 is definitely without FPU. The _LC_ in the name signifies that it's a non-FPU version. The 68EC040 version would be the without FPU and MMU, and one which is marked as 68040 (without LC/EC in it) is usually the full version, although Motorola was messing around with that marking in later iterations (like the 68040V embedded core). Anyway, the 68LC040 is definitely a version without FPU.
I have a feeling that the signal generator is just a front end, or half the picture/device. I have a theory that the ports in the back are the input for the picture, and the thing you have there is the filter control to adjust things manually.
Why didn't you try changing the card in the old signal generator? There was an extra in the box...

I hade two K6-2 450 and one K6-2 500Mhz. The interesting thing with the K6-2 400Mhz and up at least officially is that they support multiplier 6x and the way its implemented is the same way as Multiplier 2x on intel socket 7 processors. So it was very common that your could get a voltage adapter, Powerleap for example and often with a K6-2 400Mhz included. This would socket in to a Socket 7 board and you would sett the board to run as 2x66 but because the K6-2 400Mhz or faster would interpret that as its internal multiplier of 6x you got 6x66 so 400Mhz can be run on Socket 7 boards that dont officially support higher then say 3x multiplier. In fact I still have my K6-2 450 that I delided and ran in a Digital branded Pentium 200Mhz MMX system. The board supported K6 processors to and allowed for 2.8V so I put a delided K6-400 in it with a bigger cooler and sure enough it posted as a K6 @ 300Mhz. I booted up slackware Linux 8.1 and cat /proc/cpuinfo showed a K6-2 with 3Dnow! @ 400Mhz! And it was about 2x faster at compiling code then my Pentium 200Mhz MMX. It ran like that for 2+ years and I still have the CPU. This trick dident work for my other Pentium 200Mhz MMX system but that did not have an official K6 bios support, so it seems that if the board supports K6 it has a good chance of working with a K6-2 upgrade, like a power leap adapter. I also seen people modify the VRM on Socket 7 boards to allow for say 2.2-2.5V on one of its jumper settings to more safely run K6-2 processors. K6-2 processors had different Vcores depending on model and stepping, 2.4V was common, I think they went as high as 2.5V stock so 2.8V was on the high side but not uncommon to run them at when overclocked even for years.
28:00 that whole top card looks like it's not fully engaged into the slot below. See how it's kind of crooked? Maybe reseat everything? could be why there's no patterns?
That AMD K62 was a hell of a CPU..... it was the first CPU for my first real PC, and then backed up with a Voodoo 3DFX card... I originally had a 233MHz, then upgraded to 333MHz, and added more RAM, and went to a Voodoo 2 card, and could play anything at that time; Unreal, Unreal Tournament 99, Quake 2, Quake 3.... Great times!! :-D
I'm playing the spiritual successor of Harpoon, Command: Modern Operations while watching this video :). This kind of simulator or game is super fun for anyone into RTS, sandbox playing and real life modern electronic center warfare.
I don't think that the lack of click-baity thumbnails is the reason for TH-cam-problems. I no longer get recommendations for new videos on this channel, or indeed a lot of the other channels that I follow and subscribe to. TH-cam constantly recommends me older videos that I have already seen, for the past month it has only suggested the old "Commodore 64 left outside for over a decade", but none of the new videos from this channel. No idea what's going on, but a lot of "old" youtubers are having similar problems, and it seems that the recommended-algorithm no longer really works :(
These big EEPROMs/Flash ROMs make great multi game carts for old computers / video game systems. I use them in Atari 2600, Interton VC4000, Emerson Arcadia, Odyssey², Colecovision, Vectrex and with one chonking adapter in the Channel F.
When I saw "melted Haribo" I was thinking of the ballistic gelatin bears used for target practice, maybe 20 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm. I knew it was unlikely to happen, that's a lot of gelatin, but still GIANT MULTICOLOR GUMMI BEAR!
I used to have one of those K6-2 CPU's in the first PC I ever built. That served me quite well for a very long time, mostly because I was too poor to upgrade though. I think I kept using that all the way up until I got an Athlon XP 3200+.
I personally enjoy the candy stuff sprinkled into the main video mail call videos, if it's something interesting.(like the melted Haribo, and the logo candy(?)). , and idk why people complain about it so much, it's not exactly difficult to skip ahead in a youtube video if you don't want to watch it.
Because the top 20 comments end up just being about this stupid candy, and you have to scroll down way too far to actually see people talking about what this channel was once supposed to be about.
Hilarious that Haribo melted like that lol. I read the title wrong I expected to see edible stickers for some reason! that would definitely be cool though lol
I remember the ads for Harpoon in magazines. It was ported to the Amiga as well, and originally released on 1989. I'd expect somewhat low system requirements for the original game, given the vintage and the fact that it was ported to the Amiga. Don't focus too much on views count. It's a trap. There's still 30-40 thousand people that view your videos every week, and you get to influence a whole community. That's basically crazy. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. No, wait! sorry..... that's Hunter S. Thompson. Honestly, just serve the retro-gaming community by creating good and interesting content. I've learned a lot about hardware just through watching your troubleshooting. I'm _mostly_ a software person, and know the hardware through the software. But the actual low-level signal stuff was always like wizardry before I saw you troubleshooting this stuff. Honesty, those are BY FAR the most interesting videos.
Been watching your videos for a while, and thank you for the learning experiences. I missed so much of this when i was kid. I didn't have the funds to afford. Awesome work. Thank you!
22:50 There is in fact only one transistor in a metal package on that "mainboard" and it's marked with "Q420". The other transistors on that board use the more common black ceramic package. All other metal cans are actually ICs, marked with a "U". If you search for the model number you can easily find a manual, which includes schematics and a circuit description. The ICs on the mainboard are only three different types: flip-flops, dual 2-input gates and buffer-inverters - all from Fairchild. Finally, if I interpret the manual correctly, the thing that looks like a regulator on the backside is actually a power transistor.
We had the Mac version of Harpoon back in the day. I played it a bit until one of the disks went missing during a move. It was a fairly complicated strategic sea battle game as I recall.
For those of us who live in the Southern US, where those kinds of temperatures aren't entirely uncommon, seeing melted candy, even occasionally on store shelves, is pretty normal. When working at some stores, I've actually seen them come off the delivery truck like that.
Even in Virginia one has to be careful leaving things in the car…..I just retrieved an IPod from my Pickup glovebox…..the battery swelled so much it pushed the screen off…..I still works though…so I’ll be able to transfer it all to my phone perhaps.
RAMBUS Memory was used not just in the Nintendo N64 but also the SONY Playstation 2 and 3. Other than that, only here and there (Cirrus Logic Laguna, an early 3d Graphics card) and the Intel i820 for Slot 1- sometimes 370 (but very rare), 840 (Dual Channel RDRAM) for Slot 2 (rarely 1) and the "legendary" Netburst Chipsets i850 and i860... I had up to 1,5GB in my DF400 Board (SIemens Celsius 670). Your RDRAM Modules seem to be a whopping 512MB each, so 1GB total...
I played the PC version of Harpoon a lot in the early 90s. An old USAF buddy of mine stayed up way too late many work nights playing it on an underpowered Packard Bell 286 that I paid way too much for at Best Buy. May have been a GI, but I was not a sophisticated computer consumer back then!
Yep, definitely Rambus RIMMs. Those ones are rated at PC800, but like you said the latency largely negated the increased bus speed. It did have an advantage compared to regular old SDRAM, but that didn't last long when DDR came out. The PC1066 modules did edge out the competition a little in some cases, but it was really too little too late once DDR started becoming popular. They also had an expensive licensing scheme, so any chipset makers that wanted to use it had to pay extra compared to DDR. Even with the weight of Intel behind them, they just couldn't compete with the cost advantage of DDR, and faded into obscurity pretty quickly.
Is anyone else not seeing this on the Patreon feed? Also, idea for second channel video: ASMR video with Adrian murmuring about ... something ... while slowly playing with the chonky controls on the vintage signal generator. :)
31:54 - By the time you post this video, you probably already know that it's the _LC_ part that makes it the "low cost" CPU with no FPU. So you have the 20 MHz LC 040, no FPU.
The video board for the Tektronix project is like some parallel universe stuff... Im not used to seeing such early transistor technology, lil before my time
I still have my pre-launch pack of 95 with the hardware/software design manuals for use to design systems ready for Microsoft new system which we had to sign an NDA on entering the event in UK.
Sometimes ya get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you :) I did a short read about Rambus but blah blah blah, I could not follow that. I never encountered a Rambus issue in real life. Apparently they are still alive and even kicking.
I have that same Never Forget shirt that I bought back in late May from Amazon. I just showed my daughter a quick segment of this video and she said "Hey that's your shirt!". I posted the Amazon link for it but my comment got removed for having the link.
There is a weight measurement on all packages, and at least in Europe (where you'd find the most Haribo products), the vendors need to also print the price per 100g/1kg on the shelves to make it transparent.
You can get the AMD K6-2 to run in later Intel Motherboards, for example ASUS P55T2P4 (Intel i430HX). You just have to measure the voltage with a dual voltage CPU and check the undocumented ones. In some cases you just add jumpers (or was it remove them?) to get down to 2,4 or 2,2V. Some can do 2V As for the Multiplicator: the CPU interprets 2 as 6. So 6x75MHz -> 450MHz is possible on those older Boards. Some even supported 83MHz but that was not recommended and rather unstable. That would mean that 500MHz are possible, if you want to risk it
Maybe two different labels… ‘Restored’ for those that are 100% correct and functional (pure), and ‘Repaired’ for those that are functional but either have known common issues or have received upgrades.
My car has a internal temperature sensor and the more I think about it, the more I come to believe that the maximum value it can detect is 155 degrees, because that is the value it was constantly reporting during the heat wave. I'm pretty sure I could've put a rack of ribs in the car in the morning and had them fully cooked by dinner time.
Adrian, for your own sake, don't put homemade food sent by a stranger in your mouth. You don't know the sanitary conditions of their food making, if they have a disease, if it's been contaminated or if they put a drug or harmful substance in there.
Yeah, it actually reminded me of that creepy episode of Forensic Files where a whole family got poisoned from Diet Coke some anonymous "benefactor" had deposited on their doormat! :^\ Somebody donate Adrian a mass spectrometer for his basement so he can analyse this stuff beforehand!
Heh, I dunno why I was imagining edible logos in the form of perforated blotter paper... I mean, watching these videos is often a trip but that'd be on another level I guess.

These big EEPROMs/Flash ROMs make great multi game carts for old computers / video game systems. I use them in Atari 2600, Interton VC4000, Emerson Arcadia, Odyssey², Colecovision, Vectrex and with one chonking adapter in the Channel F.
"Haribo has turned into solid mass!"
Still delicious!
When I saw "melted Haribo" I was thinking of the ballistic gelatin bears used for target practice, maybe 20 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm. I knew it was unlikely to happen, that's a lot of gelatin, but still GIANT MULTICOLOR GUMMI BEAR!
It turned into Chernobyl's "Elephant Foot"! Run! Run for your lives!!
"Beware of the Blob, it..."
@@minty_Joe Still delicious!
I used to have one of those K6-2 CPU's in the first PC I ever built. That served me quite well for a very long time, mostly because I was too poor to upgrade though. I think I kept using that all the way up until I got an Athlon XP 3200+.
I personally enjoy the candy stuff sprinkled into the main video mail call videos, if it's something interesting.(like the melted Haribo, and the logo candy(?)). , and idk why people complain about it so much, it's not exactly difficult to skip ahead in a youtube video if you don't want to watch it.
Because the top 20 comments end up just being about this stupid candy, and you have to scroll down way too far to actually see people talking about what this channel was once supposed to be about.
@@PJBonoVox only an attention seeking kid would be bothered by.... wow 20 comments
Hilarious that Haribo melted like that lol. I read the title wrong I expected to see edible stickers for some reason! that would definitely be cool though lol
i read the title exactly the same way as you, I was expecting the stickers to be lick-able.
@@stephenlord1539 would definitely be cool!
"The snozberries taste like snozberries!"
Played the paper version of Harpoon when I was stationed on CVN-71 1987-1991; also played the video game.
You could do with some smaller rectangular QC logo stickers for chips.
that amd k6-2 500 was my 1st brand new pc i built before that it was second had stuff from friends
Mr Carlson's Lab would probably take the sig gen.
you need to use that happy mac as a Haribo mold ;
I remember the ads for Harpoon in magazines. It was ported to the Amiga as well, and originally released on 1989. I'd expect somewhat low system requirements for the original game, given the vintage and the fact that it was ported to the Amiga.
Don't focus too much on views count. It's a trap. There's still 30-40 thousand people that view your videos every week, and you get to influence a whole community. That's basically crazy. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. No, wait! sorry..... that's Hunter S. Thompson.
Honestly, just serve the retro-gaming community by creating good and interesting content. I've learned a lot about hardware just through watching your troubleshooting. I'm _mostly_ a software person, and know the hardware through the software. But the actual low-level signal stuff was always like wizardry before I saw you troubleshooting this stuff. Honesty, those are BY FAR the most interesting videos.
Been watching your videos for a while, and thank you for the learning experiences. I missed so much of this when i was kid. I didn't have the funds to afford. Awesome work. Thank you!
Fruitcake that sig generator to CuriousMarc! He collects all things Tektronix. I bet he'd love it! :D
22:50 There is in fact only one transistor in a metal package on that "mainboard" and it's marked with "Q420".
The other transistors on that board use the more common black ceramic package.
All other metal cans are actually ICs, marked with a "U".
If you search for the model number you can easily find a manual, which includes schematics and a circuit description.
The ICs on the mainboard are only three different types: flip-flops, dual 2-input gates and buffer-inverters - all from Fairchild.
Finally, if I interpret the manual correctly, the thing that looks like a regulator on the backside is actually a power transistor.
We had the Mac version of Harpoon back in the day. I played it a bit until one of the disks went missing during a move. It was a fairly complicated strategic sea battle game as I recall.
Funny thing is that the guy who played Charlie in that movie actually lives about one county over from where I grew up.
Haribo candy melted onto a popsickle stick..."think about it, won't you?" (Joel from MST3k
I had a bag of Sakura gummies arrive from Japan which coalesced into a single mass. Still ate it.
That's pronounced Bouquet!
+1 for the reference!
For those of us who live in the Southern US, where those kinds of temperatures aren't entirely uncommon, seeing melted candy, even occasionally on store shelves, is pretty normal. When working at some stores, I've actually seen them come off the delivery truck like that.
Even in Virginia one has to be careful leaving things in the car…..I just retrieved an IPod from my Pickup glovebox…..the battery swelled so much it pushed the screen off…..I still works though…so I’ll be able to transfer it all to my phone perhaps.
K6-2 is an awesome cpu. if you set multiplier to 2x on motherboard, cpu runs at 6x internally.
Charlie Bucket was a character from the Roald Dahl book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Only 31 minutes and 54 seconds, I feel cheated, I need more Adrian... *shakes fist*
RAMBUS Memory was used not just in the Nintendo N64 but also the SONY Playstation 2 and 3.
Other than that, only here and there (Cirrus Logic Laguna, an early 3d Graphics card) and the Intel i820 for Slot 1- sometimes 370 (but very rare), 840 (Dual Channel RDRAM) for Slot 2 (rarely 1) and the "legendary" Netburst Chipsets i850 and i860...
I had up to 1,5GB in my DF400 Board (SIemens Celsius 670).
Your RDRAM Modules seem to be a whopping 512MB each, so 1GB total...
I had a K6-2. It was a decent CPU, but it was absolutely smashed by it's Athlon successor which also was vastly superior to the pathetic P4.
I loved my K6-2 when I finally got one. A good budget processor for the time.
@@chemmerling right
I played the PC version of Harpoon a lot in the early 90s. An old USAF buddy of mine stayed up way too late many work nights playing it on an underpowered Packard Bell 286 that I paid way too much for at Best Buy. May have been a GI, but I was not a sophisticated computer consumer back then!
Yep, definitely Rambus RIMMs. Those ones are rated at PC800, but like you said the latency largely negated the increased bus speed. It did have an advantage compared to regular old SDRAM, but that didn't last long when DDR came out. The PC1066 modules did edge out the competition a little in some cases, but it was really too little too late once DDR started becoming popular. They also had an expensive licensing scheme, so any chipset makers that wanted to use it had to pay extra compared to DDR. Even with the weight of Intel behind them, they just couldn't compete with the cost advantage of DDR, and faded into obscurity pretty quickly.
They are still around living off royalties, patent trolling and suing other companies. They are truly a vile, despicable company.
Those strange memory modules are RAMBUS RAM modules.
Is anyone else not seeing this on the Patreon feed?
Also, idea for second channel video: ASMR video with Adrian murmuring about ... something ... while slowly playing with the chonky controls on the vintage signal generator. :)
Haribo is basically Turkish Delights. So now have a brick instead of bites.
31:54 - By the time you post this video, you probably already know that it's the _LC_ part that makes it the "low cost" CPU with no FPU. So you have the 20 MHz LC 040, no FPU.
The video board for the Tektronix project is like some parallel universe stuff...
Im not used to seeing such early transistor technology, lil before my time
Lol, I remember chewing on many a reconstituted gummy lump as a kid in Texas, never expected to be hearing that from Portland tho
Nice to know you could make Bear by the Foot with a heat gun and gummi bears
Maybe LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER can use that signal generator :)
Good call; I´m pretty sure Sam could make some weird stuff with a thing like that.
I still have my pre-launch pack of 95 with the hardware/software design manuals for use to design systems ready for Microsoft new system which we had to sign an NDA on entering the event in UK.
K6-2 was a great CPU for the money. Really kicked!
Sometimes ya get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you :) I did a short read about Rambus but blah blah blah, I could not follow that. I never encountered a Rambus issue in real life. Apparently they are still alive and even kicking.
I have that same Never Forget shirt that I bought back in late May from Amazon. I just showed my daughter a quick segment of this video and she said "Hey that's your shirt!". I posted the Amazon link for it but my comment got removed for having the link.
that K6/2 is nice, i wish i didn't get rid of mine.
2:32 That sort of illustrates how little is in the bag. The shapes are designed to space the sweets out as much as possible :)
There is a weight measurement on all packages, and at least in Europe (where you'd find the most Haribo products), the vendors need to also print the price per 100g/1kg on the shelves to make it transparent.
Another give-away that the n64 uses RDRAM is that without the RAM expansion pack installed, the "jumper pack" is REQUIRED since it terminates the bus.
PS2 uses it as well, IIRC.
Everything is edible if you try hard enough.
Same thing applies to 'Adult' Toys ;-)
6:39 Charlie Bucket is the boy character from Willy Wonker and the Chocolate Factory! Wheres the candy?!?! 😁👍
This video won me over at the peach block/blob -- haha!
Did you try flipping the voltage switch on that test equipment
You can get the AMD K6-2 to run in later Intel Motherboards, for example ASUS P55T2P4 (Intel i430HX).
You just have to measure the voltage with a dual voltage CPU and check the undocumented ones. In some cases you just add jumpers (or was it remove them?) to get down to 2,4 or 2,2V. Some can do 2V
As for the Multiplicator: the CPU interprets 2 as 6. So 6x75MHz -> 450MHz is possible on those older Boards. Some even supported 83MHz but that was not recommended and rather unstable. That would mean that 500MHz are possible, if you want to risk it
Maybe two different labels… ‘Restored’ for those that are 100% correct and functional (pure), and ‘Repaired’ for those that are functional but either have known common issues or have received upgrades.
And inspected for ones that worked out off the box.
My car has a internal temperature sensor and the more I think about it, the more I come to believe that the maximum value it can detect is 155 degrees, because that is the value it was constantly reporting during the heat wave. I'm pretty sure I could've put a rack of ribs in the car in the morning and had them fully cooked by dinner time.
I just got that shirt for my birthday!
"It doesn't have a current rating". "It says 1 AGC". That is the current rating. That's a 1 amp fuse.

These old k6-2 500 were great on a win98se pc
Lol you realy tried to eat these erasers😂
Maybe the rubbery tasting things had a delicious juicy core? Only one way to find out... :P
Nice T-shirt design
Adrian, for your own sake, don't put homemade food sent by a stranger in your mouth. You don't know the sanitary conditions of their food making, if they have a disease, if it's been contaminated or if they put a drug or harmful substance in there.
Yeah, it actually reminded me of that creepy episode of Forensic Files where a whole family got poisoned from Diet Coke some anonymous "benefactor" had deposited on their doormat! :^\
Somebody donate Adrian a mass spectrometer for his basement so he can analyse this stuff beforehand!
