yep it's gotten here this morning and in less than a day i killed it

yes, it does

Hey, just found your site using theforest.link. You seem pretty chill, and I hope life is treating you well. You been watch… — i got really into patlabor recently https://retrospring.net/@maple_syrup/a/113123508943586353

@lion what do you want for it

do you still have my address

@lion can i relieve you of it

i need to make permanent fittings for everything and get much thinner and shorter cables to plug everything together without spaghetti spilling out of every orifice, and then figure out a power solution (i'd like something that the pi can battery monitor on, which seems like nobody has ever done, everybody just plugs a powerbank and prays) but the main concept is solid
