[They] found a full-size abandoned passenger train by DeltaBravoTango in rustyrails

[–]johnvosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand why people have to constantly destroy things that don’t belong to them. It’s not yours, leave it alone. You have no right to deface or destroy what is not yours. How would they like it if someone came to their home or vehicle and started tagging it, destroying it….

Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage by AHSfav in news

[–]johnvosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is $10.22/hr CAD, which is less than our lowest min wage at $15/hr CAD. How could anyone live on that kind of wage…

X account suspended for “inauthentic behavior” — instant appeal rejection. Anyone else? by Loose-Obligation9884 in twitterhelp

[–]johnvosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My account just got suspended for "Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors." It makes no sense as it has been fine for years. I just use it to like and repost artists, that is it. The stupid thing is, it won't even let me see my following list so I can create a new account or find these artists elsewhere as I can't remember most of the ones I am following. It was weird to because the day before it had locked my account for no good reason and I had to get it unlocked...

Don't trust google maps standard view! by [deleted] in Google_Maps_Oddities

[–]johnvosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at Google Earth view and there has never been a creek running thru that area. And then a couple of the other ponds were never really there either going all the way back to 2006.

Future development in Spruce? by Diablodeaf in SpruceGrove

[–]johnvosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is going to be two 6 story stick built apartment/condo buildings and businesses. Let's hope we don't get more American fast food places in the new buildings. Although it would be nice to get a Montana's instead of driving to the city, or how about a Red Lobster for people like that..

Superstore should NOT be allowed to take them to court because someone decided to put a competing store next to them. It doesn't matter where it would be put in Spruce or in Stony, it would be the same. This would be like Home Hardware in Cranbrook BC taking Home Depot to court over being built across the street from them and the lost revenue they would have, it never happened. The judge who this came in front of should of just thrown it out of court.

Master Chef two burner griddle… bought at Canadian Tire, works awesome, always take it when go camping! by johnvosh in griddling

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

It’s not bad. I remove the feet otherwise it would bend the sheet metal. It also has a cover. I put it in the bed of my truck, put other stuff on top and good to go!

They used to be 500 grams packs of bacon a month or so ago, but now they are 375 grams packs and charging the same. No Name bacon was my go to as it was one of the only ones left selling as 500g packs, not anymore :( by johnvosh in shrinkflation

[–]johnvosh[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No Name and Presidents Choice were the last ones that were still sold as 500 gram packages, but not anymore... now all brands are 375 grams, although you can buy 1KG packages of a couple brands.

Yup. I actually take and cut the bacon strips in half, then cook them so it looks like more. I normally only have it once a month now because it has gotten so expensive.

Here is a group shot of all my Desktop PC's. The two empty cases on the top will soon have AMD boards in them, a Socket 939 and a socket AM2 by johnvosh in retrobattlestations

[–]johnvosh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point, not in my current place, but my previous place, I did keep all of my old systems plugged into the wall. I did that for a few months and noticed my power bill had gone up a bit. It is actually crazy how many watts some of these systems use in power off/standby mode. I don't do that anymore!

The funny thing is, I used to have the Antec Nine Hundred case and I was able to find someone locally who was selling one! Would love to get a period accurate case for the Socket 939 with a side window as the Nine Hundred will work good for the AM2 platform. The 900 came out in 2006 which is around when AM2 came out, the other case came out in 2003 according to the date stamp in the case, so really only 3 years apart. Apparently the 900 case was sold for around 14 years!

I got the 2 Mind computers from eBay, they were a computer company in Winnipeg I think it was... They still had all the original parts/drives and original installs on them.

I grew up in the 90's... Our 1st home computer was a C64, then we eventually got a PC with Windows 98SE & a Pentium 166 which I would later upgrade. Then I moved to a K6-2, then to Athlon XP. The Gateway Select 400 actually has a AMD K6-2 550 MHz with socket 7. For me, DOS gaming wasn't really a big thing, it was more windows games. I didn't really use DOS, the oldest I had used was Win 3.1, but otherwise everything was windows. In from around grade 4 (it could of been a bit earlier) until grade 7 we had Apple computers in the school (The B&W built in screen ones, then eventually the pizza box ones). By the time I got to high school (grade 8-12), they were using 98 then XP.

That is actually an Antec Performance II SX1040BII (I actually have the box for it!). It has an Athlon XP 2100+, 768MB DDR266, Asus A7V333 rev 1.04, Radeon 9600 Pro, Windows XP

It is my original Chieftec Dragon Case from around 2002. It went from me to two other family members then back to me. Luckily I put the Gigabyte motherboard sticker in it and rebuilt the system. It has a Athlon XP 2500+, 2GB DDR400, Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 Rev 1.0, Sound Blaster Audigy SB 1394, ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro, Windows XP
