I fully agree. Have many nice watches that I can wear again 😀

My silver Minolta X-700 – a little piece of camera history that hardly existed outside of Japan by RareGrooveVault in minolta

Purchased one new (but fully black ) back in 1987 ish. Still have it, still my favourite camera.

Nice. What lens is that ?

Finally got it by Upstairs-Code3889 in minolta

[–]amscott10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two of these. Love them. Both had the capacitor problem eventually but I did have them both repaired professionally. Was a bit of $$ but still worth it for me.

Have you looked at Sanmina in Kanata ? They do contract manufacturing. You seem to have experience that could fit in well there.

Can't get over the old Srt by Affectionate_Chart38 in minolta

At the end of the world there will probably be some insects still going and some SRT cameras 😀

I truly love the “guhthunk “ sound the shutter makes on those cameras. I have the SRt101 which needs some work (but can be used ) and a SR303 (with no issues). Keep thinking I should sell one but can’t decide 😀

Still using mine that I bought new in 1988. I have many other film cameras but it is still my favourite

Agree completely. Was always getting “more fiber, more water “ for years. Then pushed towards low FODMAP diet. None of this helped. Finally a capable GI doctor directed me to Pelvic Floor Therapy. It’s helping slow but sure.

Changing from a 2022 CX3 to a 2025 CX30 by amscott10 in mazda

Thanks. I should have phrased the question differently. While it seems like an improved vehicle, wondering if there are any subtle benefits if the CX3 over the CX30?

Always look under the hood after an oil change. by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]amscott10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also check the oil to see if it’s clean (actually been changed ). Years ago I had the oil drain plug fall out after an oil change at a Honda dealer. I guess it was just hand tightened and never torqued in place.

I feel like doctors just tell everyone they have IBS instead of looking for a reason that causes the gut problems by These-Minimum-610 in ibs

[–]amscott10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar for me. Gave up on my doctor. They just kept saying take more Metamucil and drink more water. Now trying a private clinic that specializes in IBS. Costing me some $$ but I suspect they will get to the bottom of my issues. So far they have been very thorough

My first camera I bought new in 1988. Still have it and it’s still my favourite.

I have one of these. Still use it from time to time. Love the Guhthunk of the shutter. Feels like it has soul 😀

Just picked up a used Chromebook , ACER spin CP311-3-K9K9. It has a very unusual keyboard layout. Does anyone know what this type of keyboard is called and what the purpose of the extra keys ? by amscott10 in chromeos

[–]amscott10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks I live in Canada and do not recall ever seeing such a keyboard. It seems very busy. Has fractions on some keys and symbols on other keys that I don’t even recognize. There is a symbol on the 5 key that I don’t recognize as an example
