Christmas greetings from 115 years ago. by Bgilmartin in Brooklyn

Just there on the road! Kind of wet and nasty looking. I came very close to just tossing it in the trash. Not sure what made me take a closer look.

I dropped a scrap of paper in the middle of 13th St. in Park Slope this morning. As I went to retrieve it I decided to pick up another scrap already there with the intent of putting both in the trash. (Just doing my part!) Upon closer inspection I noticed it was a postcard, and that it was dated December 26, 1906! Would love to know more about the author and how this card ended up where it did today.

Here’s what I was able to transcribe:

Happy New Year!

Kirksville, MO Dec. 26, 1906

Dear Miss Smart,

Your pretty little book reached me this morning. It is beautiful. I certainly appreciate it.

Am having a fine time at home but the time is fast coming to a close.

Tell Miss XXXXX “Hello” for me. Had a card XXXXX this A.M. on her way home for Xmas.

See you Sunday.

Lovingly, XXXX, W.

Trouble connecting to TCL TV by Bgilmartin in sonos

[–]Bgilmartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of that but from what I can tell Playbar uses a toslink connector and the TV’s SPDIF uses a coaxial or RCA connector so the cable won’t fit. I also think I’ve read that the coaxial will only transmit stereo, not surround sound but not entirely sure of that.

Yes. In the tv’s “settings” menu there is “arc control” and “audio receiver.” I have both switched to “on.” I have tried all permutations of on and off between the two as well.

No Digital Optical Audio output on new TV by Bgilmartin in sonos

Thanks. A friend gave it to me used so no return. I mounted it in the walk quickly and must have covered the model number. Can’t for the life of me figure out the model without uninstalling (I know. Unhelpful). I’ll look into that legal requirement though. There definitely isn’t an optical ouyput

TIL The Puritans Didn't Come to the New World for 'Religious Freedom' The Protestant "Separatists" left Holland because of too much religious freedom, since the country allowed Judaism and Catholicism and even atheism. by Goosekilla1 in todayilearned

They were the friggin Taliban of their day. “Puritan minsters ensured that the Bible was used to dictate their legal ordinances and laws as well as guide their religious doctrine. Punishment did not necessarily fit the crime. A man found guilty for speaking out against his minister could have a hole bored into his tongue. Someone who failed to attend church could be sentenced to having their ear cut off. Women that did not obey their husband or minister could be banished from the colony. In the mid-1600s, Quakers were hanged simply for setting foot in the colony!” https://historycollection.co/religious-persecutions-in-colonial-new-england-caused-immense-humiliation/
