@thomasfuchs that's years ago to me an sounds about right. around the same time i stopped with the capitalization. .

@thomasfuchs i'm curious, i have bin full of old digital cameras, what are you looking for? if i happen to have one i'll send it to you for the cost of shipping as i wouldn't have paid more than a few pennies foe it.

@thomasfuchs run away. that's nothing but trouble.

the exception being if you run a repair show and are buying to repair.

@salad_bar_breath IDK, I looked into Hoopla a couple of years ago and found out we were limited to 3 watches per month and it was pretty costly to our library. If I remember correctly, they were being charged $2 per view.

I'm thinking free as is beer alternatives such as PlutoTV and Tubi might be a better option.

@salad_bar_breath Yes it was free to me but not good use of communal funds in my opinion

@salad_bar_breath libraries aren't free tax payers pay for them

@clacke funny. they are near me, too.

@clacke next time call me. i'm a world class putter of people to sleep.

@thomasfuchs I've had quite a few c= addons in my day but I don't know what the added on the right side of that pic is. Guess I've not seen many boxes!

@clacke I just commented on another post that language, when used correctly, changes and that irks some to no end.

Often in ways we don't like. I used to be a 'grammar nazi'. But now I mostly let grammar and word misuse go without comment.

That's a good thing because I live in the birthplace of 'irregardless'.

@clacke One of the milestones I remember is the first time I saved a completely lost game with a stalemate.

Until that first time seems like a myth.

@clacke Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out this weekend.

@clacke Sounds delightful.

@clacke This post made me smile. Nothing special just reminded me of when I learned to play as a kid and wondered what it must be like to learn to play in the age of the net.

@clacke While I've used ALGOL and PASCAL I don't remember hearing of Wirth. I'll have to do some research.

@clacke i haven't played in ages but when i stopped i was a quickly rising 1980 uscf rating

@clacke As soon as I said this, I learned she's beaten a GM. The highest rated person I've beaten was only a senior master in the USCF. Based on that one datapoint she's better than I am.

@clacke They are only so-so in chess knowledge(probably on par with me actually) but nice looking girls who know how to give it as good as they get have a ready made audience in the chess world as the do in most other worlds.

@clacke The Botez sisters are quite the Chess content creators.

@clacke I'm not following. I thought her given name was "Smokin' Hot."
