Ha. I'm going to take a bunch of edibles and listen to music on my old school iPod and sleep 12+ hours.

The best part is that most people can't absorb a $160k judgement, and the landlord would likely have to sell the home they were renting. The person who was evicted should be first in line to be able to buy the prior home.

Can you share links to those articles? I'm finding a lot of dead ends.

Let me work on that for a second...

eMail: [email protected] and let them know the number is assigned to RingCentral.

Uh, first, Doug Ford was never mayor. It was his shithead junkie brother.

Second, Ontario can order Toronto to remove them, but Toronto can refuse or take them to court. I doubt the MTO is going to send a crew into downtown Toronto -- it's not their turf.

Third, if Ontario contracts a third party to do the work, they'd be setting themselves up for getting named in a lawsuit.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck, and Thuggie needs to get a new hobby.

This changes nothing. Speeds on isolated sections of the 400 highways are already well over 110km/h.

If Article 5 is invoked, Russia ceases to exist overnight.

The evening of the first day Russia fucks up, the US demonstrates why Americans don't have healthcare. It swoops in with a couple dozen stealth fighters, eliminates air-defence, decapitates the entire chain of command, then levels every military and military-adjacent structure from west to east and east to west and south to north at the same time. I sincerely doubt a single American life would be lost.

By morning, there's nothing of consequence left, and regular NATO fighters have control of the skies, taking out leftover smaller targets and industrial infrastructure... and that's it, game over.

My lunatic anti-vax, anti-pharma, anti-government mother in Grande Prairie will eat this shit up.

Let's not forget that his shithead junkie brother cancelled MOST of Transit City -- a plan developed & designed for maximum impact for the least expense... Costing the city of Toronto nearly $100M in wasted work and cancellation penalties (which massively benefitted developers).

He fought like hell for the city to build subways rather than surface rail on a separated grade from cars, which is far cheaper, and nearly as effective as subways when approaching streetcars get priority from traffic lights.

I also don't understand why the mint doesn't have any for sale -- but you can apparently get them at Costco.

 

I used to make this offer each year in November/December on the old alien site before they lost their minds and I deleted everything and left. Over the past decade, I've digitized 100+ hours of video, and close to 1000 photos.

I can digitize the following formats:

  • 35mm negative / slides / négatif / diapositif
  • 8mm film (8mm & Super 8) (without audio)
  • VHS-C "compact" video tape (not full size VHS)
  • MiniDV video (not HD... yet)
  • 8mm Videocassette ("Sony" 8mm / Hi8 / Digital 8)
  • Audio cassettes

Reasonable limits apply - one of:

  • Up to 80 frames of 35mm negatives / slides (2-3 "rolls")
  • Up to 5 reels 8mm film
  • Up to 5 VHS-C videotapes
  • Up to 5 MiniDV cassettes
  • Up to 5 8mm videocassettes

... or some reasonable mix of each.

Output is in JPEG or MPEG4 format. For MiniDV/Digital8, I can provide the original .dv files, but they're gigantic - 20+GB/hr. 35mm slides/negatives are usually returned in plastic sheets suitable for storage in a binder.

Turnaround time is usually 72 hours.

Process: Pack up your media in a box, include your ID on Lemmy on a piece of paper, a USB stick for storage (about 1GB per hour of video). Drop off at my office in St. Henri, and pick it up in the same place a few days later.

People often ask why I do this. Freeing cherished memories from old media is a hobby of mine, I don't do this for a living, but I've accumulated a lot of equipment over the last 10 years of doing this.

EDIT: Formatting.
