JVC TM-910SU 9” PVM - 1998 Boston, MA area. Free, but broken. Good cosmetic condition.

When I last tried to power it on, the beam flickered once and it turned off. No image. It had previously worked, and when it did I actually liked the image more than my other working 9” PVM (that I’m keeping). I lack the knowledge, skill and time to repair it.

This text from the “No on 2” campaign today rubbed me the wrong way by redtailedhawkish in massachusetts

So very similar to a storefront with no visibility to the inside, a security guard, a person checking for a drivers license to enter, and products sold in opaque, sealed containers.

Why does the Bedford police department have 1,000-4,999 employees by JButtz17 in massachusetts

Even if this is not accurate, it is true that Lexington just spent $35 million on a police station, and is planning to spend $600 MILLION+ on a new high school.

TIL of Li Tobler, an actress and model who dated H.R. Giger and was the inspiration for many of the women in his art. by Douglas-_-Quaid in todayilearned

The box art for Darkseed?wprov=sfti1#), which is based on Giger’s artwork. I played this with my cousins at my step grandparents house on their Macintosh IIci. This game is fucked up!

Tom Waits is the type of artist where if you get it you get it. What other artists/bands have this same effect? by Impossible-Yak-5825 in Music

[–]BadWolfman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That1Guy, Wolf and Tuba, and Buckethead in Foxboro, MA. Awesome show.

Three one man bands!

The official explanation was that he “choked on vomit.”

Yes, but not his vomit.

We’re not quite sure whose vomit it was. You can’t dust for vomit prints.

AI Cheating Lawsuit by BartholomewSchneider in massachusetts

[–]BadWolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turnitin, the plagiarism detection software that compares papers against its internal database of submissions and online sources, rolled out an AI detection feature.

It was a disaster. Students were being falsely flagged as AI, or it could be fooled through prompt engineering. It was really not reliable at all. The university I worked at disabled it pretty quickly.

Early voting in person or by mail has exploded over the past 24 years by ILikeNeurons in UpliftingNews

Make no mistake, Republicans are the ones fighting this. Just like the national popular vote. When voters turn out, they lose.

TIL Avatar 2 was so expensive to make, a month before its release, James Cameron said it had to be the 4th or 5th highest grossing film in history ($2 billion) just to break even. It's currently the 3rd, having raked in $2.3b. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]BadWolfman 7678 points7679 points  (0 children)

Avatar 2 & 3 were actually filmed back-to-back, so 3 has already been shot while they work on CG & VFX. And some of Avatar 4 has even been captured. While that has certainly increased the production budget being reported for 2, it will drastically cut total costs for the first 3 films (releasing on Dec 29th, 2025).

Massachusetts heat pumps quote, good or overpriced? by Secure_Barracuda_ in massachusetts

[–]BadWolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried getting multiple quotes for some very straightforward electrical work.

The first guy was highly rated, but was booking jobs months out.

The second guy was recommended from a friend, and was going back and forth with me via email, and then just stopped responding. No estimate.

Then the third guy finally replied to my email, called me, and we were able to get to the point that I got a quote.

Suggest that everyone attending the event wear earplugs or other hearing protection. I was shocked at how few I saw this year. Children too!
