I guess that's why Musk is so fixated on his sci-fi religious trope of making a "multi-planet species", in case he ruins this one...

Something happened a decade ago to a single person. Therefore it follows it affects millions now in ways that persuade me my world view is correct.

I see.

they can control the narratives and conversations and public sentiment

That sounds almost conspiratorial. How many people know of Reddit, use it, then automatically follow the narrative? Like out of the total population?

It's called winter.

 

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

Walmart should have "fired" that customer, ie trespass him. WTF was this goon doing in the women's restroom anyway?

I assume for that to happen, a significant portion of the American political system would be in trouble. It's not so much that Trump is some unique phenomenon, it's more like he's not subtle about it. We're being screwed every day by the leader class, they're just quiet enough about it that most people go back to their NASCAR and high-fructose corn syrup snacks.

Geez, did Tesla make the floor too?

It's almost incomprehensible. This is historical, it will be in history books in a hundred years.

These people are incompetent on a scale barely understandable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

So that's not good enough for you, but still no proof? If it's so easy to Google, help me out since I'm so inept.

Still waiting for my laptop to be pwned.

Why are you so resistant to facts?

I did: "how do you get computer viruses"

Answer: "Computer viruses can be spread via email, with some even capable of hijacking email software to spread themselves. Others may attach to legitimate software, within software packs, or infect code, and other viruses can be downloaded from compromised application stores and infected code repositories."

Try it yourself. No mention of Windows 7, all about USERS INSTALLING THEM.

QED.

Ah, finally a reason to upgrade from Windows 7: to make sure the slop really gets into every nanosecond of human existence.

 

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.
