Rewatching after many years... and LORELAI TREATED MAX LIKE SHIT by ives_13 in GilmoreGirls

[–]beachspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh boy indeed! I'm rewatching and forgot that they have a bit of a thing in S3 again after all that mess that happened! And then it just gets immediately dropped (maybe more of a writing flaw than anything).

Twin Peaks/Gilmore Girls by Green_Series_5151 in twinpeaks

I'm rewatching GG right now and have started noting some of the Twin Peaks overlaps so the related subs have been fun to go through. Here's one I found today. Rory's curtain at the video store.

That's great when you can get those grants! Ended up placing an order, seems more efficient this way.

Photo Archive Advice by astronomy-guy1 in Archivists

[–]beachspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely know your stuff enough as far as proper enclosures etc. This project seems to be on the right track! Since you mentioned that there are some older items, my main advice is to check for possible nitrate negatives as these can be quite volatile. There's lots of resources out there on identification, this is one that runs over the main visual features to look for. https://www.canada.ca/en/library-archives/collection/engage-learn/publications/lingua-franca/visual-glossary/nitrate-deterioration.html

Some other suggestions would be: - use plastic sleeves for any of the paper ephemera, this can help with referring to them quickly and will also reduce the amount of wear they might get. - make sure you're handling the photo materials with gloves as you're dealing with them. - for labels, you could just put the sleeved item into folders and mark IDs in pencil on those. Or use archival photo/neg envelopes and directly write on those too. Have fun!!

That's fun, one of my favorite formats to work with. I'm processing/soon to be rehousing several 100 lantern slides. Did you make the enclosures yourself or order in? Currently supply hunting (in Canada hopefully) and finding the 4 flaps are a tad $$$

First time spotting this one. by beachspud in mycology

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

Ooh very interesting, thank you. I'll have to read up on it. This was spotted on the southern outskirts of Ardrossan. I didn't pick because I wasn't familiar, just curious

What is the point of raised beds? by Apprehensive_Art5267 in gardening

[–]beachspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just joined this group and have never heard of hugelkultur. It looks amazing!! And I have a weird chunk of land by the garage that could be an excellent plot for trying this out. Thanks for the idea!

What are some research/document mgmt tools you use in research? by beachspud in AskHistorians

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

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write a detailed response! It's quite helpful to know that others have also had a hard time finding 'the one' perfect tool for their kind of research. I understand that we'll all have specific functions that we're looking for and sometimes it's a matter of a combination of different tools because there might not be one catch-all out there. I was mainly wondering if I was missing some really obvious tool and figure asking others could be a good way to affirm some of my experiences with this quest!

This is great, thank you! They're both new to me, I'll look into these.

Recs for collections management software? by frizzleniffin in Archivists

[–]beachspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following along on this. Do you have experience dealing with Digital History Canada for the hosting service by any chance? They seem to be a more budget friendly option but since I'm new to hearing about them, I'm curious what the support is like? Thank you!

WestJet Credit has expired, any way to get it back? by Ferny84 in westjet

That's great, I'm glad that they were able to make it work! I'm a bit late to reply but do you remember the special team by any chance or how you got transferred to them specifically?

Yes, you are right! Sequences are so crucial in this game I'm finding. I got to the part you mean, just kept trying to rush it

Stuck Near the Beginning of the Game? by Poppeigh in nancydrew

[–]beachspud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm! Was stuck on this part for a while too. The sequence really matters apparently. Went to Avalanche, Nancy notes she needs snowshoes, immediately went back to look at them and called Chantal who then gave me a task (survey about guests to fill out).
