Should have stuck to simple, safe insider trading like the other guys do. Always with the flashy showing off.

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

It made Mike Stoklasa ... smul? smeel? smile? Something like that.

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

I haven't even seen it yet... I think I might actually watch this because of all the extras as well.

 

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.

It's unbelievably frustrating that the image rotation seems to be random.

 

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

I've seen them on the bus I think.

Print it out and scan it and print it back to a 300MB PDF.

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 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?
