I stopped seeing computers as useful about 20 years ago when these "social media" things started appearing.

Straitjacket. I don't get it either but that's what it is.

"pityness"? Even pithiness I don't get your meaning.

Shat about after it releases?

Sure, but maybe not in public?

Well, weren't you guys part of Mexico until the US invaded in the 19th century and took it? I mean if any country did that today, we'd all collapse like Edvard Munch's The Scream and yell about democracy. But you can try to invade yourselves and annex yourselves?

Anyone still worried about AI taking over the world and killing all the humans?

 

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

 

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...

 

I noticed the "coming soon" sign a while back and now it's open. It's definitely a sense of "déjà vu", it looks pretty much like a Value Village in its layout, prices are the same. Lots of clothes, pots and pans, a few shelves of electronics, and lots of DVDs and VHS. Plus it's a 5 minute walk from the St Jacques Renaissance.

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

 

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

 

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

 

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.

 

In the last few months I decided to see what I could find on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a matter of luck and persistence but I do find good stuff now and then. Anyone else find missing Blu-rays from combo Blu-ray and DVD sets? Or DVD-Rs instead of pressed? And how do some people manage to scratch their discs so impressively?

 

Haven't seen this street performer in many years. Don't know if it's the same guy, he does look plumper now. In front of St James United March 8 afternoon.
