Birdsmgp

I have a bag that is 2/3rds of that Fake easter grass. I got it about 8 years ago for my Pet Birds. To see about making a place for them or to have some fun with them at one time.

... I have a library of Doctor Who videos. Kind of sounds like you would not like what I would have around my house...

i'd just like to add that converting a PAL to NTSC is fucking expensive. There are other countries that sell NTSC, mostly South America and East/South Asia and some of Africa.

NTSC has more scan lines and a far better picture.

For example, I have a VHS tape of Tosca made in Rome in the times and places in the story. For instance, when Mario is shot by the firing squad on top of the REAL Castel Sant'Angelo, you can see the dome of St. Peter's in the back ground. And Tosca takes the Nestea Plunge off the Castel Sant' Angelo. It has Catherine Malfitano and Placido Domingo in it. It looks like it's straight off a studio monitor, and was produced by RAI the Italian state TV station. Absolutely gorgeous picture.

This tape must have been transfered from NTSC to PAL video, since I bought it here in the US and is PAL format videotape. It looks as good as a DVD, which is as good as 35mm film, believe it or not.

VHS is of course a very different kettle of fish.

While one needs two seperate DVD players, one USA and one European (or regions of your choice), I have a standard VHS video-casette player that will play both USA NSTC and European PAL movies, no worries.
It is now a standard feature of VHS players sold in Western Europe.

People in my physics class that can�t for the life of them remember what they were taught in grade 7-10 math class. Hell, some of them have math the period before physics, and they can�t remember the formula for slope that they used 10 MINUTES AGO TO CREATE A SIMPLE LINEAR EQUATION OF A LINE! They�re sitting there, hand in the air, going;

�Skoo marm! Fry mah hide! Skoo marm! Fry mah hide! ah don�t knows how t'do this hyar skoo marm! Fry mah hide! It was drilled into mah haid fo' th' last 4 years, but yo' sh'd take ha'f th' class t'explain t'me how t'use th' simple corncepp ah jest used 10 minutes ago.�

And this is the higher-level class. I would hate to see what the lower level classes are like.

Hello,

I find the following upsetting:


Tribalism.

Inefficiency or wastefulness.

Those who limit their perspective to suit their interests.

Self-righteousness, in any form or flavor.

Self-evaluation.

People who refuse to go to music rehearsal because of "church activities"

people who accuse another as cold and unfeeling because the other person does not express as much emotion as they do (what do they know ).

banks that withhold cards for no reason

the lack of taste in poetry or music

self-imposed guilt that I suffer from
