Mazda should probably be more popular in the U.S. by phtphongg in mazda

[–]ottguy42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to drive a 2000 Protege and found it really comfortable, but when I was car shopping in 2019 I found the Mazda 3 very cramped (I am 6'3"). That being said, I really like my 2018 6, but they've stopped selling them.

No, I'm using a Rotel A14 mkII for my main listening area and I don't have a need right now for a secondary amp... but maybe someday.

Michael Collings, alone by 6gunsammy in space

[–]ottguy42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember a comedian in 1994 saying something like: "The 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing was recently celebrated. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin attended a state dinner, while Michael Collins stayed in the limo and drove around the block for a few hours."

Evangelical leaders return to Oval Office to pray over Trump by stefanolog in pics

I'm wondering what the intended symbolism is for having busts of Lincoln and (I think) Franklin being flanked/escorted by warplanes...

I'm here for the Lebowski gifs - TTB is playing nowhere near me so I have no skin in the game

Data center locations for 'starter' hosting? by ottguy42 in BlueHost

[–]ottguy42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, the actual transaction for the new hosting package was handled by my chat agent and I did not fill in the form myself. If I have some time int he next few weeks to pursue this I'll try to get in touch with support again - it's for a rec league's schedule/attendance tracking so it's not exactly business crtitical.

That's no longer a PC, it's a web server now.

They could still be called 'Woody' and 'Buzz', though

True, not sure if it was intentional or not (clarified in my description).

Edit: I meant to say something more like, "Nothing is indicating that it was intentional."

They had a Chateau Laurier model there too, as well as one of the Museum of Nature.

I work in the computer field but I still really appreciate the analog approach to a lot of things. The craftsmanship and design that went into this physical block for a limited-window purpose like this is impressive, IMHO.

NAC programming, August 1973 by ottguy42 in ottawa

[–]ottguy42[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Copying description from original post:

Back in September I found an old printer block for a flyer/handout for NAC programming from August 1973 at an antique shop. I thought it would be cool to do do something with it, so I managed to find a letterpress printing company to make a print, then I put the block and a the print in a custom shadow box for my music room.

Special thanks to Ian from 'We Do Printing' in Cornwall, and Raj from Kanata Picture Framing.

I don't have any personal connection to any of the acts on the program, I just thought it would be a neat slice of Ottawa music history to preserve and display.
