It's resting. Remarkable country, the USA, isn't it? Beautiful plumage!

Good, Israel desperately needs that money.

I was just thinking of D5 and the ridiculously hot brunette.

Nope. Far fewer. Houses are built to be showcases for expensive appliances these days.

Don't know anything about planes. Could these switches be "cross-linked" with some physical link on the other side of the cockpit, so that the other pilot has to pull something to allow the first pilot to even move these switches?

Fuck fly by wire and glass cockpit crap. A physical interlock.

That's dumb. Houses I recall from childhood in the '80s were filled with books. Encyclopedias for kids, books about animals, history, etc. Libraries were a walk away. Schools had libraries (and in my case, the librarian looked just like Janet from Three's Company and built the same. I was at the library a lot.). TV had plenty of educational stuff.

And how's the newfangled Google knowledge world panning out so far? Lots of people getting informed?

Yeah, then what, Buffalo Bill? Shoot at what, who?

I find I have little to no choice but to withdraw from as much as possible from the world. By world I mean people, since they are 100% of the causes of the problems I can do nothing about.

Oh no, I was going to live to 500. Guess I'll finish off my Aberlour 16 tonight anyway.

Ham is out, I think.

 

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

 

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

 

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur
