Right there with you bud. I stopped after they killed the first drug lord in a wheelchair. I think it was the second season. Man what a boring show.

I kind of feel the same about Plur1bus, but at least that show is interesting to see very prominent locations completely void of population.

Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

I have an HP multi function that can print on multiple types of paper, including cardstock, photo and glossy magazine. I’ve made reprinted NES instruction booklets on it even. I know everyone says “HP Bad”, but they are all making the toner move. I accidentally updated my dad’s Epson color inkjet printer and it started complaining about his black ink cartridge. Lesson learned, just don’t update firmware on ANY brand and block their update servers at your router if possible.

Thanks! I do have several cassette players, including the one my grandmother recently used to listen to these same tapes. I assumed the process is similar to what you laid out but have yet to get my system set up for said conversion.

And for the photos, I’m already planning that too. I have a stand alone scanner but know it’s a very tedious process from past personal scanning projects, and I have a tote full of I scanned photos. Maybe I’ll task my oldest with it later this year I’m her “down time” lol.

If I digitize anything, I only trust myself with that. I’m too OCD to trust a third party!

To be fair, with two daughters that are 1.5 years apart, we also have many more of our older daughter. We had more time to take pictures between naps and active time and less attention split once our second was born. Do I have remorse of having less pictures of our youngest? Of course, but it really was a challenge to get as many pictures with a 2 year old running around a baby that can’t even crawl yet!

Switch to UseNet. No seedin’ required!

I recently digitized my family’s (and extended family) VHS and new to me 5.5 VHS camcorder tapes. Now I have my grandfather’s cassette tape collection of accordion recordings. Have yet to fiddle with losslessly digitizing those but I’m sure I’ll figure out out. My mom also has my other grandfather’s Super 8 camcorder she claims has their wedding video on it. Need to eventually get my hands on that and figure that out as well.

Scanning pictures however is the worst. You can use a 3rd party, but many of them dispose of your physicals after the fact and don’t guarantee the scans came through without error.

This is a better version imo. These companies are going to kill consumerism of the PC market soon enough. It will take some time, like 20 years or so I imagine given the current landscape and old inventory, but these are the starting steps.

Maybe try stepping outside of “the capitalist world we live in” and instead help those asking for help, instead of telling them the equivalent of “good luck, find out for yourself”. If you have knowledge worth sharing, then I suggest you share it when others ask.

Someone else did respond to me with a link which was informative and gave me the proper information I requested, which was very eye opening to your original statement.

Thanks for the informative link! Didn’t know they were not native to NA at all. The message here has always been “take care of the honey bees!” and that slogan now has a different meaning to me.

Hmmm, make claim on internet. Don’t back up claim. Insisit I do my own research. Pretty Trolly take stranger.

Do you have a source on this? First I’ve read about honey bees being invasive.

If the claim were about yellow jackets I would believe it as they are still pollenators but not as effective as honey bees. Not to mention I see way more wasps, hornets and yellow jackets than honey bees combined in a single season. I’ll see maybe one honey bee (if I’m lucky) a year in northern Ohio, but the latter are everywhere up here.

Buy your candy at the end of August like I do and they are half price or even lower. This is what happens when you wait until what you would think the opportune time to buy your Halloween candy is.
