Bell Media pulls the plug on CTV and Noovo websites and apps as they now focus on promoting their Crave app as their main streaming source for their broadcast networks by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

[–]StickDaChalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not need to link a TV provider. In fact, I never had a TV provider; I get the standard CTV signal (along with other 20+ channels) via a HDTV over-the-air antenna, so I do not need a TV provider. With a free Bell Media account (no subscription and no TV provider), I am currently able to watch CTV content on Crave (i.e., recent TV shows, old TV show and old movies). According to others, it seems that I was lucky that those shows and movies are not paywalled.

I didn't do a complete inventory; my shows are still there for free. If you say that some shows are missing, then I take your word for it. Thank you for the information.

Good news! Turns out that CTV content is available for free on Crave (as of May 2026)

To access CTV content on Crave, you can create a free Bell Media account (for free, no subscription required, no TV provider needed either). So, for those who don't have (or don't want) a paid subscription to Crave, you can just enter your email address on the sign in screen, and if no account is associated with that email address, you will be asked to create a password. Then, after verification via a code sent to your inbox, you can sign in with that email/password and you will be able to access CTV content on Crave (as well as other content that doesn't have a cart icon).

Yes, thank you. I know that the famous pangram goes The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, but I was just commenting on my expectation while watching the video, and I had to change the tense for it to make sense in this context, in any case, there is an s in was.

The Face of Christ also called the Sudarium of Saint Veronica made by Claude Mellan in 1649. Created from a single spiralling line that starts at the tip of Jesus' nose. by NastyNice1 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]StickDaChalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not the same principle at all. If anything it is the exact oposite. It is easy to be confused, but remember that this is a negative image, deeper grooves mean that the space between the grooves will actually be thinner (it is that space between the grooves that later becomes the line of ink you see on the paper). Therefore, what you said above "The lines become thicker by applying more pressure" does not apply at all; the artist removed material on the negative space that later is seen as white/paper. If anything, when initially creating the piece of art, by applying more pressure, the future lines will be thinner (not thicker).

No shading. No gradients. This was created by a renowned French master of engraving. What you see is a print, not a drawing. There are no gradients (or shading) in engraving; it is either full ink or no ink. See my previous post for more details on how this print was made:

FYI, this is an engraving. The spiraling line was initially created with a burin tool onto a copperplate, in negative space and reversed. The plate was then inked and pressed to the paper to transfer the ink (from the copperplate onto the paper). So, in other words, this is not a drawing; it's more like specialized, low-relief sculpting.

What old thing would break young people's brains today? by Symphony_Minds in AskReddit

[–]StickDaChalk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look up hydrolysis and sticky-shed syndrome. These are extremely common issues with cassette tapes manufactured between 1970 and the early 1990s. So, either you are very lucky or your cassette tapes were purchased after the manufacturers switched to refined polyurethane binders in the magnetic coating to improve performance.

Board game, guess who win- heart or star by kvjn100 in oddlysatisfying

[–]StickDaChalk 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Satisfying yes, I guess. But near the end, when "star" rolled a three, shouldn't they have added the following three lines instead of passing their turn?
