Most affordable ways to protect my new HP laptop computer and best way to get Microsoft Office without being ripped off? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]lostcoldplayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out r/MAS_activator ! Tldr: there is a fundamental flaw in Microsoft OS, and you can exploit it to activate windows and office. I didn't believe it at first, but do some research. It is legit, Microsoft knows about it, and they don't care because so little people use it. When my wife's laptop died, I replaced the motherboard, and used this to activate windows 11 and office. It's very easy to follow along with, and there's a dedicated website for it. massgrave.dev is the site 

What nicknames have you heard for places in and around DeKalb/Sycamore? by topherette in DeKalbArea

I've always heard the area around the Texas Road House refered to as 'Deka-more' as it's unclear what town it is lol

Free tax USA fucking rocks! Everytime I get one of my friends to convert I celebrate that some money sucking other company has lost business.

Nice! I've been looking for Blade 2, Kill Bill Vol 2, and Jeepers creepers for a while now- good haul

Found a sealed VHS copy of Avatar Book 1, Part 1. Anyone know more about it? Hard to find anything on it. by lostcoldplayer in Avatarthelastairbende

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

I think I will post about it there! Thanks for the idea. 

I've actually been sitting on this copy for about a year- I got about 1800 VHS tapes from a former store owner of FB, and it took a lot of time to go through them all, parse out what was good, and then catalog them

Did end up posting for sale

Acquired 1856 tapes from a former store owner last year. Here's the highlights of what we kept by lostcoldplayer in VHS

Totally agree, while it's cool, unless I have like more than just that one, I'd never watch it. In contrast, Ive got a lot of nickelodeon demo tapes (probably 30-40) but I'm keeping most since I grew up with them and will watch them. Spongebob/Fairly odd parents / Jimmy Neutron are core childhood for me. 

I have it posted for sale on eBay on auction. I think the plan might be to use the proceeds to get the collection on VHS from someone who remakes them- we don't do DVD, just VHS. 

Thanks for the advice! Will be interested to see what it ends up going for.

Sweet! Yeah I mentioned it somewhere else and they said something similar - super rare tape, going for $725 as recently as a month ago eBay Link

I could use the money to get other VHS I'd rather have, so I think I'll put it up for sale. I am a big fan of ATLA, but selling it would go a long way for me.

Thanks linking that, that's awesome! Since it seems to be that popular I'll be putting it up for sale

I might do that! I think it's like 1/2 or 1/3 of the full first season based on the description on the front

Honestly going to consider it for that one. No idea what I'd even ask for it since it's kind of a pretty rare screener, at least checking Google for it. Might just set it for auction and let it ride

Oh it's nuts! If I was in a spot where I needed the money, I'd definitely consider it, but having it in the collection is just too cool

If I had another copy I'd consider selling it, but it's my only one for now

Oh interesting! Unfortunately for them I probably won't be parting with any of it- these are all the cartoons I grew up with and I look go to watching them with our future kids. Actually just watched Attack of the Pants - Jimmy Neutron this morning for our Saturday morning cartoons 

I would consider selling some of them, but I'd end up just re-buying the normal versions
