so uh
we rescued a set of 4K movie film scanners

does anyone need a set of 4K movie film scanners

if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at [email protected]

Anyone want a cine camera?

It was my Dad's, a Pacemaker Reflex Zoom Boots Super 8 Cine Camera.
It is still in its carry case, and takes 4AA batteries and the battery box is clean.
A tiny corner is chipped off the trigger, but the chip is in the case for you to reglue.

I can post to mainland UK or collect from Salford.

Thank you.

This lunch includes all five of the main Dutch food groups: cheese, cucumber, geometry, boredom and sorrow, with most of the vitamin content provided by the soul-destroying view of endless flatness spilling off the far-flung horizon.

I have a question about our 'moving house' plans, and I would welcome some thoughts about it.

We have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but also a lot of stuff, (furniture, workshop machines, steel and timber stock, heavy equipment, etc.) that will need to move with us.

My thoughts were to somehow find a local place that has shipping container storage, move it all there while clearing the house, and then move the shipping container when we know where we have moved to.

I don't know if there is such an option locally, at both ends.

I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to do this, or if you have companies that you are aware of that would work like this.

We are in the Greater Manchester are of the UK and moving to rural Wales.

Thank you.

RT: @lewis_goodall It remains stunning, that throughout all of this, the Royal Family have never confirmed who exactly paid for the payoff nor why, exactly, they stripped Andrew of his titles. Parliament hasn’t thought to ask either.
The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color. https://dialed.gg/

Client: “We’d like a singer/pianist to play at our wedding and provide their own sound system. How much will that be?”

Me: “Sure, this is how much it costs”

Client: *tumbleweed*

Do people just not appreciate the skill, level, and investment that pro musicians make to become proficient at their jobs? Not even a response with “Sorry, that’s out of our budget” or “We’ve went a different way”. Just silence. So disheartening. 🤨

In other news, ceremony wedding bookings open. 💍

I've said on here before, that I love the transformative power bikes have on how people think about interacting with each other🚴🏼‍♀️♥️

Having a bike stolen resets a white US person's understanding of what cops do and do not do.

Commuting on a bike resets a white US person's understanding of racist infrastructure.

I love bikes, especially cargo bikes and attachments for kids, because it's only about a 5 year learning journey for white folk from
