I recall finding a quote from Pliny which essentially reads "Kids these days are lazy and listen to weird music." -Curt On Sunday, April 12, 2020, 2:03:28 PM EDT, fmiser via Mercedes wrote: > Kaleb wrote: > As the subject says, was it? No. Or yes.  It was different.  But for at

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

Old tv series (you had mentioned the Adams Family) often show up on Amazon Prime video. I've got Amazon Prime anyway and we watch a lot of stuff on there. Other than YouTube its my only "TV". I've got a 32" television hooked to my Mac Pro via HDMI. "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down" are both

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

Edited shorter. The "shooting ratio" is the amount of stuff shot divided by the amount of stuff that actually makes it into the program. Back in the days of film a 10:1 shooting ratio was the high side of acceptable. Today since the "footage" is much cheaper 20:1 is pretty common. Television

Re: [MBZ] Was the world really a better place 30 years ago?

Yup, commercial rates haven't risen anywhere near the rate of inflation, the money for those shows has to come from somewhere. I know, "I paid for cable" great, that pays the delivery service, it doesn't pay the network, or the local station. It doesn't pay for the news or the weather, that

You don't need DVR with streaming, it streams... Youtube for instance, you don't need DVR, just watch that video later... -Curt On Sunday, April 12, 2020, 12:54:47 PM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: I need to do something soon. My main holdback has been DVR. I never watch TV

Re: [MBZ] Parallel flow condenser

You’re welcome. I had my hoses rebuilt with barrier style material by my local hose guy, I think it cost me around $150. Cheaper than buying new ones if they were even available and with modern material, too. -D > On Apr 13, 2020, at 10:07 AM, Mike Esh via Mercedes > wrote: > > Thanks Dan,

[MBZ] OT well we just had an exciting morning

Strong line of tstorms moved through awhile ago, some tornadoes not too far away.  Lot of rain here at the vast estate but not too much wind so fairly lucky.  Power stayed on so that is good.  A little airport west of here got hit by a tornado and tore up hangers and planes, some houses up

I’ve mentioned the institutional racism I saw as a kid growing up in Indianapolis. For the most part it still exists there outside of the city, it’s just more discreet. -D > On Apr 13, 2020, at 9:33 AM, Mitchell Haley EA via Mercedes > wrote: > > On Mon, April 13, 2020 8:47 am, Curt Raymond

Re: [MBZ] Parallel flow condenser

Mike, I replaced the hoses I could get to in the engine compartment and re-sealed the compressor, along with replacing the stock condenser with the parallel flow condenser. The system was secure and working when I replaced everything, I just wasn’t happy with the performance on R134a and it

As long as you're white and straight... Even in the 70s, which doesn't seem so long ago minorities had it a lot tougher than today. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sat, Apr 11, 2020 at 8:44 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Better is relative. With the ability of hindsight,

Wonder why it was parked for 3 years? I’d go $1k on that if it could be started, even though I’m not a fan of white paint. Looks decent. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Apr 12, 2020, at 7:15 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Another addition to the back 40: > >

Re: [MBZ] People are hoarding chickens now

Chickens roam Ybor City, the neighborhood on the east side of Tampa that was settled by the Cubans and had many a cigar factory in the day. They’re a hotly contested topic on a regular basis as gentrification has started and the new residents aren’t terribly keen about the noise and mess. -D
