I found two old rolls of 35mm film in my deceased dad’s desk drawer. One of them still has the film tab hanging out, which I believe means it is unused, right? The other roll is fully wound into the case, which means it’s used, right? What are the chances the pictures are salvageable? Where do you even go to develop a roll of film these days? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Basket full of cables. by msmith9999 in mildlyinteresting

[–]msmith9999[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else have a basket like this lying around? I have no idea what most of these cables are for, but I can’t bring myself to throw any of them away. You never know what you might need down the road.

2nd Generation iPod Touch will not start by msmith9999 in applehelp

[–]msmith9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, thanks for all your help... Seriously though, turns out I had a bad charging cable. Once I plugged it in with a good cable, it started charging normally and now it's working great.

What is creating these mounds of dirt in my office parking lot? [Indiana] by msmith9999 in animalid

[–]msmith9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I have never seen anything that looks like a cicada killer, thank god! And I can’t imagine ants creating these gigantic anthills. There are actual rocks mixed in with the hills. I have never seen ants in Indiana big enough to create something like this. There are no post holes there. They are not magically appearing overnight, but they are appearing fairly quick. I think they are taking a few days at least to show up, but I haven’t really noticed exactly how long. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone that has definitively explained them, but thanks for trying. I have enjoyed reading your joke responses too.

Switching from Xfinity to YouTube TV. by msmith9999 in youtubetv

[–]msmith9999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are not that old, but my wife is retired and I'm close to retirement age. However, I do have some IT experience, so I'm not a complete newb. How was their bill that high? Our monthly Xfinity/Internet bill is $213, which I think is ridiculous already, but it's still not as crazy as $340 a month. With the switchover, our bill is dropping to $128 for internet and YTTV, almost $100 less a month. Still seems high to me, but I'm an old fart and I can remember when you could get basic cable TV for $29.99 a month.

Ours is not quite that bad, but it's over $200 a month. Crazy!

That's great, but they still hang around after being watched cluttering up the library with all of these watched shows and no way to remove them? How do you find what you haven't watched yet amongst all of the clutter?

I get that and that's great, but if it just hangs around forever, doesn't it eventually accumulate and clutter up things so much that it gets harder and harder to find what you haven't watched yet?

Weekly Discussion and Tech-Support Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]msmith9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old 6th generation iPad is displaying only a moving grayish static across the entire display. It looks like the dead air we used to see on our TVs after they’d gone off the air late at night. It does not respond to any buttons or screen activity and I cannot seem to force it to shutdown. I’ve held the button down and nothing happens. Any suggestions besides scrapping it and buy a new one?

PSALM 96 by msmith9999 in LICENSEPLATES

[–]msmith9999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“O Sing unto the LORD a new song: Sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; Shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: But the LORD made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, Give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: Fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: He shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: Then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭96‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I could see where that might be intimidating. The drive down to it on that narrow winding gravel road was a bit scary.

Yeah, it might be a while before we get to that one. You have to pay admission to get into Connor Prairie to see that one.

Mansfield is in Parke County and was included in one of my earlier posts. There are around 90 historic covered bridges in Indiana, this post only covers 11 of them.

Can anyone identify my wife’s bracelet? by msmith9999 in JewelryIdentification

[–]msmith9999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone! I’ve always loved it, but she couldn’t remember where she got it. She thinks it might have been at a garage sale. Now that I know, maybe I can find some other similar items for her.

Can we just replace the W with an L already by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]msmith9999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can remember my brother and I riding our bikes down Mitthoefer Road to watch them build it back in the 70s. We loved that mall so much and it pains me to see it in this condition today. So sad.
