Do people do intro posts on Mastodon? I don't know.

Hi, I'm Thomas - new here and possibly moving from Threads because it's driving me nuts.

From the UK, live on a narrowboat, PhD in formal logic focussing on legal reasoning. Now a software engineer trying building a site to document arguments ( Controvis ) - argumentation is one of my main interests (both formal and not).

Economically left and socially liberal. Was a member of the Lib Dems but didn't think they took a hard enough stance against transphobia. So erm, maybe I'll join the Greens, I don't know.

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.

@suearcher is it wrong to want to hear that? (asks the person who's already avoiding mending a c.100 year old mandolin...)
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.
@kottke so, I used to look after TV cameras for a living. Whilst I know about the lack of objective colorimetry we have, we can learn some stuff. The way you do this with cameras is to have a preview switch in the remote control panel that allows you to directly bounce between them, and adjust colours on the fly. I retired in 2020, so I guess I'm out of practice!
