    In Hawaii we call those Okinawan sweet potatoes. Taro is used in the making of poi.

    Besides taro, might be ube? It's a root crop people hereabouts often use in sweet desserts.
    
    Alternatively there actually are purple potatoes, the change in pigment owing to high concentrations of anthocyanin (googled it, idk about crops). Not sure if these'd be any sweeter than regular taters though.

    If you didn't keep so many receipts in there, it wouldn't be so ugly. Consider a slimmer, sleeker option and folks wouldn't hate it so much.

  Well, just ordered a Bifrost 2 and XLR PYST from the Dutch distributor. Hopefully meshes well with the rest of the rig.

  Old (7y) CLC on the second rig finally dried out, 95c at idle. Time to swap in a noctua in double time i guess.

    Huh, so psaudio said they're coming out with a 300w unit in a few months, hopefully at a sane price. Best deal I could find was 4.5k eurobux which is plain too rich for my blood, I decided.

    An assembling giant robot. Everyone 'drives' smaller animal-like mechs which are somehow never powerful enough so they have to assemble into the big one.

    I would go with sand all the way. It's not just mass loading, the sand dissipates energy better by allowing micro-vibration from the grains.
    
    I would at least just try sand first and then go with lead if you have to.
