And when are those rail projects getting built? Oh yeah, they keep stalling out.

I’m all for reducing car dependency, but we need viable alternatives before, not as an afterthought.

I’ve thought it’d be pretty nifty to replace the carpool lanes with rail transit, but then Fast track/The Toll Roads wouldn’t be able to keep up their Lexus lanes.

The idea was to transition everyone to EVs. The problem is that not everyone can afford to just up and buy a new vehicle, and it’s naive to think people can get by without one, especially in much of CA and the rest of the US where public transit absolutely blows. They’re putting the cart before the horse and not giving a shit about people who aren’t the monopoly man, as is tradition.

My town has had the price pegged at about $5.50/gal (diesel) for the last couple years, despite fuel trending closer to $4.25/gal lately elsewhere.

So that’s why him, Zuck, and their ilk are the way they are.

OO is fantastic.

Shit in my CA town that would be $500k easy.

What does guitar center do?

I’m with you, my original point was that I wasn’t aware of any rips that fot OPs criteria, and that they might be better off doing that legwork themselves.

And the pope makes the two point conversion!

No worries. I was actually surprised when I found that out, considering there are plenty of other miniscule things the code is very specific about.

Hey I’m right there with you, I have the bluray releases for mine. OP though is after a specific version, which I think was ever available in HD.

That’s where I’m not sure. According to wikipedia, no. So then yeah, laserdisc would provide the best image for those releases at 425, but a PAL laserdisc would give 440, in contrast to VHSs NTSC resolution of 240. That said, the 90s release was itself a 20th anniversary remaster of the originals, though allegedly there exists a copy for long term preservation that was never released. But, I’d have sworn that the 20th remaster saw a limited release on DVD, but that would again be something to be found on eBay or from a collector if it exists.

Meh, close enough, same spirit.

Honestly your best bet is to find a DVD/VHS box set and rip them yourself. Everyone keeps the 1080 versions these days at a minimum, and i don’t know if those versions were ever release in HD, though here’s hoping some can come in with Cunningham’s law.

That actually sounds rather pleasant, minus the book. Air travel is great for books.

I’ll be honest, it never really crossed my mind that the ladies room attendant was a chick, I never really put much thought into that one.

Also too, BECAUSE IT’S JUST A DESIGNATED PLUMBED ROOM TO TAKE A SHIT, NOT A FUCKING THING TO BE POLITICIZED.

They don’t care though, if anything it’s more money for the medical profit machine.

The on/off switch always struck me as odd. Like, in a recessed plug such as this where the male prongs have a bit of insulation to them, are they really that worried about a tiny arc that might occur when someone forgets to turn off the device? Like it would make more sense to have a limit switch built into the socket that activates on insertion and deactivates on removal. And even then, with our caveman sockets in the US, a small arc isn’t the end of the world, you just know not to have your fingers near the shiny bits.
