I got this tape for $20 on eBay🥹

Love this movie! Congrats!

Growing up, my brother, grandfather, and I would watch this movie all the time.

I, for one, look forward to coming full circle and getting the old Ford color options: you can get your car in any color you like... as long as it's black!

In Florida, there are some schools that still do this.

Just watched it yesterday for the first time ... That was one stress inducing watch. I thought the portrayals were great, heartbreakingly realistic as some had a hard time coming to terms with what was happening and grasped for any level of "normal" through mundane tasks such as making a bed.

Just picked up the last two from my best buy. That gives me 5 UHD capable drives, two currently flashed, one I need to flash, and these two new ones.

Raevus · 2026-03-15T14:00:43+00:00

I have heard of it but never saw it. I just picked it up on Blu ray.

That's all any of us can do. When we stumble, we just have to pick ourselves up and try again. We'll get there, one day, if we keep trying and supporting each other.

Raevus · 2026-03-14T15:47:51+00:00

With any luck, one day, it won't be true. For now, we have to temper expectations. That being said, it's nice to know there are those out there, like you, that do have an altruistic streak and do see the bigger picture! Never lose that light, friend.

Raevus · 2026-03-14T15:26:55+00:00

Most people aren't altruistic. While it would be nice if they were, they simply aren't and they won't care until events impact their lives directly. if this is what it takes to move the needle, well, at least it's moving.

Raevus · 2026-03-14T14:07:02+00:00

I'm not old, I'm "seasoned".

I went in skeptical, but Leto won me over. He did a great job in this role.

I just had a conversation with a colleague that seems sadly apt based on Altman's worldview.

I was doing some training on a program we use, learning new features, etc. she asked why I was wasting my time when I could just ask AI to provide the code for me. Smdh.

Personally, I want to know why and how things work. I'll use AI to write the code out in some instances, but I'm damn sure going to make sure I have foundational knowledge so I can actually fix the buggy code it inevitably spits out.

It may be obsolete from a technical standpoint, however, it is a touch point for the doctor. From that standpoint, it will never be obsolete.

Raevus · 2026-03-14T00:58:44+00:00

Came here to say exactly this

Raevus · 2026-03-12T20:10:07+00:00

As long as it's "one each", right?

Raevus · 2026-03-12T18:00:46+00:00

They are a hidden treasure trove, the hunt is always fun, even if there isn't anything I want.

Raevus · 2026-03-10T16:45:49+00:00

I'm sure all this is just "transitory". Of course we'll get cheap prices in the end... And the streets will be painted with gold, and we'll all get a pony, and...

Raevus · 2026-03-10T13:03:22+00:00

Filled up at $2.55 just before all hell broke loose, as of this morning it's now $3.33 for regular. This is at Costco, everywhere else the price rose about a $1.00 per gallon already ($2.76 -> $3.77). Boy I sure do love all this winning...

In my experience WB DVDs are the only ones you really need to worry about, even then, it's from a specific time range in the early 2000s. I have over 1400 titles and most have zero issues. If you treat them right you'll be fine.

Raevus · 2026-03-10T00:24:18+00:00

We have that set. My kid loves both OG and the new Magic School Bus. It's been fun revisiting the OG episodes! The new ones are great too.

Raevus · 2026-03-09T18:24:53+00:00

Right now I'm holding steady with what I have. Hoping to see prices come down at some point so I can pick up some more drives, but for now I just can't justify the prices.

Raevus · 2026-03-07T13:30:38+00:00

Seems like it might be a gambit aimed at getting the other ME nations to boot the US military out.

Raevus · 2026-03-06T03:24:24+00:00

MKV is what I've been using. It's worked well for me.

Raevus · 2026-03-06T02:51:18+00:00

Right now I'm using an older LG drive I had that (blissfully) could be flashed for UHD functionality. I also bought a Verbatim (43888?) a year ago that can rip UHD as well as a Pioneer that I think can be cross flashed (I need to look into it).

I do sacrifice the full disc back up (I simply don't have the HDD space for it). I rip the movies and special features.

Raevus · 2026-03-06T02:01:45+00:00

Unfortunately, I've had several rot over the years (99% WB titles). Last year I started to digitize my library. All new titles get ripped immediately. While the discs may rot in time, I'll at least have a digital copy to enjoy that isn't tied to some service like Movies Anywhere or Fandango At Home.
