More fiber? What kind of movements are we talking about?

I see but the test I did with that site showed no jitter. But I agree on the rubber boot, it's oddly shaped for sure. Oh well.

That would be a game I would consider getting. I played the original Elite on my C64 back then...

I don't know what that means. I went here

and after playing with the stick for a while ... it's a joystick.

What should I look for? Keep in mind I am not a gamer, and this is my first joystick like, in decades. The last time I played games my joystick was this

I do get lucky regularly, sadly only in thrift stores, not in the other sense of the expression...

Ah I did pick up a Flight Simulator X box on a previous thrift run, maybe I can try installing it on my Value Village HP Core I5 I picked up a few weeks ago.

Hmm, if it's stringy some other organ is involved...

Sweet, it feels like a good design. It's clean and unmarked and no finger cheese or palm grease anywhere.

J'veux ben pis j'en ai pogné plein des patentes "comme ça" mais je suis tanné de résolutions et bitrates variables, de sous-titres en polonais pas enlevables, de logos de chaînes TV américaines, un épisode manquant, etc

 

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.
