Anyone still worried about AI taking over the world and killing all the humans?

Sure. That 1911 will sure help against that V-22 dumping Marines on your front lawn.

Well you could just become a doctor and ignore what the patient says anyway!

Hitler Bot 5000 became sentient on July 9 2025 and started putting people over a barrel and gaping them at 2:35PM PST.

Now picture it without fossil fuels giving us a 100:1 EROEI

1995.... The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn't need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace...

I think I'd burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL

True, but the advancements boil down to late 19th century ideas like "wash your hands after the autopsy before delivering Ms Green's baby", which the medical establishment pushed hard against at the time. Tells you a lot about the medical mindset...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

"Despite his research, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it."

They are extremely competent and organized, just not for you. Welcome to reality.

Israel too, our greatest ally and friend to humanity.

 

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

 

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

 

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur
