@toby I don't see any black pens at that link, unless "coffee" is black.

Uniball makes good stuff, though, the Signo 207 is my favorite. Waterproof and very nice to write with. I've been adapting them for my Ohto Tasche compact pen for ages.

In a good news / bad news situation, I was thinking about buying a 25-year-old powernoise LP recently, but I just found that I already own it.

I just checked, and I own 22 LPs, so, yeah. I should get a record player.

I mean, I have one, but it's terrible. A different one.

I'm not a big vinyl collector, but now and again, I'll pick up the LP if I really love an album. This one landed on my doorstep today.

@dogriley I watched most of these before there was a new series. Still think classic Who is best Who.

The Yetis make their return (and the Brigadier his debut) in this six-parter from the spring of 1968. It's unusually complete for the era, with only episode three missing. The lost episode can be seen in an official BBC animation and a Loose Cannon fan reconstruction; I'm watching the Loose Cannon recon. Other episodes are my personal MKV remuxes from PAL DVDs. I've seen this one before.

This is a pretty straightforward story that lays the foundation of a lot of the Pertwee era: Earthbound, militaristic, alien threat, human scientists meddling with powers beyond their understanding or control. UNIT doesn't exist yet, but Lethbridge-Stewart (pre-promotion, so a colonel here) commanding a military force gives much the same dynamic. Unfortunately, his first appearance is in the missing third episode. This is his character's only appearance with the Second Doctor -- he mentions it to the Third in Spearhead From Space.

Instead of corridors, we get subway tunnels, and an "all these tunnels look the same to me." The eponymous web is a spiderweb-like "fungus" which the Yeti shoot from guns, cocooning the TARDIS, bombs, people, etc.

Jack Watling (Victoria's real-life dad) plays Professor Travers, which must have been neat for them. He was also in The Abominable Snowman, but I failed to mention. Travers getting taken over by the Great Intelligence is well-done and unsettling. Speaking of unsettling, Evans' suggestion that they give up the Doctor to escape is ice cold.

The Doctor really lays it all on the line in this one. The ending is decidedly mixed, unusually so for a Who story.

Overall, this one is okay, but not great, though the ending makes up for a lot. I don't think the Great Intelligence is terribly threatening, and the Yetis are a bit silly -- if they're robots, why don't they have a more appropriate appearance? The great furry covering makes sense in Tibet, but not so much in the Underground. Zippers are clearly visible on the back of the costumes.

Still, any Troughton story this complete is a rarity, and worth a watch.

Anyone have an in-wall outlet with USB-C PD charging they like? I bought one off Amazon, but it was kind of flaky (I'd sometimes have to unplug/replug the cable from the outlet for it to charge), and the power supply died this week.

Reviews for a lot of the no-name ones on Amazon are similar. Leviton has a 60W USB-C PD outlet, but it needs an extra deep box and looks like some of the PD profiles are messed up, causing it not to work for some hardware.

Love the idea, maybe the execution just isn't there yet?
