EDITOR NOTE: The Stoic is going to miss this week – as mentioned in the Morning Links comments, ron has a brother to help. But we know you want to ponder something, so here you go, courtesy of Webdom:
Do you wash your raw chicken when you take it out of the package?
What about other raw meats?
Discuss.
Is this a euphemism?
More important, how clean are your hands?
Why would you? You’re going to cook it, right?
What about tartare or sushi?
Chicken sushi?
Would not.
‘What about other raw meats?’
Obviously I was not meaning chicken…
Torisashi
You should always wash your hands afterward…
Do you wash your raw chicken
Euphemism?
What about other raw meats?
Well, the steaks get dry brined.
No and no. Who does that?
Ponder this
Toledo, Ohio is the best city in the U.S. to buy a house in 2024, according to Realtor.com.
I was laughing too hard to read any farther.
Holy Toledo!
I mean, it may be the cheapest? Usually there is a reason why that is the case.
Oh la dee da. Look who knows fancy economics shit like supply and demand.
I was looking in Toledo, along with Akron, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton when I was shopping for this place. Unless something has changed pretty dramatically in the last 6 months or so, the crime rate any place I could afford to make a purchase was about 4 times what it is where I ended up moving. And it wasn’t like petty property crime or victimless non-libertarian crimes either, we’re talking the hard stuff: murder, rape, armed robbery, battery, etc. Also it’s cold as balls.
I’ve been to Toledo before (levee inspection) and yeah, when people say that Ohio lost that war, they aren’t wrong.
I never bothered to actually check the housing prices, because well, Toledo.
Pretty sure the only good think in Toledo is Tony Packo’s… I can’t even think of any breweries that distribute this way from Toledo any more (several went under in the past 5-10 years).
I thought Toledo was full of churches. Isn’t that where the phrase “Holy Toledo” comes from?
Well, once the steel industry left, what else where they going to do?
And Tony’s is WAY over rated.
I used to drive through Toledo twice a week or so when I was working up in Detroit.
Seeing Toledo made me said. Going through Detroit made me scared.
One time the girlfriend and I were going through Toledo they had an algae bloom. Couldn’t drink or use the tap water for anything, nearly all the restaurants were closed, the one we found to get a bite at was using plastic to-go cutlery, since they couldn’t wash regular silverware. The locals said that would happen for a “week or two” every couple of years.
But Toledo is Your Gateway To World Markets! *
*joke for anyone who has driven I-75N through Too-lee-doo
Meanwhile…
2 Ohio cities among Top 5 worst places to rent in US, report says
Coincidence
‘The report, “Best and Worst Places to Rent in America,” compared 182 U.S. cities across two categories: Rental market & affordability, such as share of renters, rental vacancy rate, rental affordability, rent-to-price ratio and more; and quality of life, such as weather, safety, job market, recreation-friendliness, and more”
The first one any place where you can actually afford to buy will place poorly on, while the last two are just tanking the Midwest for lulz.
Yeah, one-size-fits-all listicles are bullshit clickbait.
I see on the news that this the THIRD big storm of the week. I guess everyone in Michigan is going to die. Again.
At least they’ll be put out of their misery.
Top 10 commie destinations.
I have never washed a raw meat and didn’t even know this was a thing.
I occasionally have choked a chicken.
“Occasionally”
‘Do you wash your raw chicken when you take it out of the package?’
No, that is something the FBI convinced black people to do to spread disease.
Libertarian responses are the best responses.
I saw mention of Pluto Nash earlier. The director of Pluto Nash was a guest lecturer at my college shortly after the movie came out. He was pretty honest about how bad it was, and discussed how it became so bad.
He could make a lot of money on that lecture tour describing what to never do again. Too bad Disney isn’t listening.
Had to think about this one. My answer is usually no, but if it’s something where I want the meat’s surface to be dry for the next step, then yes. Rinse it really good to get rid of whatever moisture/liquid/slime was present from contact with the package, and then dry it off.
Hm, why not just pat it dry to start with?
I don’t cook that style often, but I do occasionally. What do you use to pat dry?
I use paper towels for patting meat dry, then throw them out.
Paper towels. And I don’t just start that way because sometimes it has that slimy feel. Prefer to wash/flush it so I’m only drying with the paper towels, not trying to scrub it off.
Like that goofball Brooks, I am a bit suspicious of getting paper bits on my food. I don’t have any better answer than paper towels either though.
I use the chicken water to wash my fresh vegetables to clean off the e-coli.
I’ll be honest. I usually just eat the chicken raw.
Feathers and all.
I remember learning that you never rinse/wash poultry, because any splashes that may land somewhere would be potential cross contamination vectors.
Same. IIRC, the USDA updated their recommendations a while back and advised not to wash raw poultry because you’re more likely to contaminate your surrounding countertops and whatnot. I always bleach down my counters after I have raw poultry out anyway, so it probably doesn’t matter that much, but if the poultry’s out of the freezer it means I’m cooking it to a safe internal temperature that day anyway.
OT already, but Massie needs to run for president.

I mean… I think it is okay if we go off-topic from washing your cock.
Eh, he could have done a lot better, or maybe there is a better clip of him, because that didn’t show his reasoning for voting against (which I have heard from him, and agree 100%)
Not really, the dumb bint should be off of “news” and doing something useful.
He voted no and mocked a corporate news anchor. No one else in congress did anything that useful today.
A good reason for him to stay where he is.
What is wrong with you people?
Of course I wash the raw chicken. But to prevent it from overcooking, I only use the “air dry” setting on the dishwasher.
You jest — but Dishwasher Salmon is somehow a thing.
Dishwasher Salmon – I’ve made it.
Also valve cover hotdogs and diced potatoes.
To you cuntes I hope.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder, one of Obama’s closest confidants, told USA Today that if Trump were to win the Republican nomination and beat President Biden this November, there could be “incalculable damage” brought upon the country.
But enough about Antifa already.
Any meat – beef, chicken, fish – that comes out of a package wet, gets dryed with paper towels, then gets seasoned.
Did I drop the chicken on the floor in this scenario?

It bothers me that all the automation we have in homes now doesn’t count to this guy.
Dishwashers (and clothes washers/dryers), roombas all are pretty amazing. Just because it isn’t humanoid….

Hard to argue there.
I was hoping this was going to make mixed drinks. Much disappoint.

You always wash it when you’re going ass to vagi… oh wait that’s not what you meant.

Randal Graves : What?
Dante Hicks : Are you serious?
Randal Graves : I don’t fuck around when it comes to ass-to-mouth.

Paper towel lint in my food- ewww.

Stop buying Russian quality paper towels.
A high school era friend brought back a roll of toilet paper from his exchange trip to Russia. It had actual wood chips in it.

Anyone know anything about the 6.5 Grendel round?
I really want a Molot Vepr in .30-06, but since they’re harder to find than a Tri Delt without herpes I’m thinking of 6.5 Grendel instead.
Thoughts?
Ah, you’ll be looking for a dealer in rare bullets.
Popular for about 6-7 weeks? About the same time that Creedmore started being a thing. Isn’t so popular now so rounds are hard to find and will only get harder.
I have a 6.5 X 223 Contender. No one ever borrows ammo from me.
I hear you can build a Beowulf cluster with them, but little else.
I see .224 Valkyrie on the shelves. Never 6.5 Grendel.
I bought a 5.56 AR because I knew the ammo would be available.
9 mm
.223/5.56
.308/7.62
All common, all available.
My 8.25mm rounds are hand-carved by anchorite monks of a secretive militant order and blessed with ninety-nine prayers of absolution.
The rifle packs an awful wallop to the shoulder. there’s nothing better for taking out demons… But the price is hellish, and the availability scant
Got to pick the right tool for the job.
I was messing with the idea of a fancy long-range caliber. Between the cost of ammo and the limited places I can shoot (or even see) that far, it was not worth it.
Get a .308. Capable of ridiculous accuracy out to 800 yards. Ammo is available in a pretty wide variety of loads.
6.5 Creedmore is all the sexy nowadays, but inactuality ins almost completely identical to .270.
There is some small advantage at extreme ranges, but the difference is something 99.9% of all shooters would never be able to take advantage of.
I usually let the cats lick the chicken clean before seasoning.
Do you put peanut butter on it first?
They really aren’t into peanut butter.
The cats like their prey to flee, so I wear the chicken like a puppet on my hand and run through the house making distressed chicken sounds. That gets them going.
What are you seasoning your cats with?
5 spice, of course.
The cat may be self-cleaning, but the kitchen isn’t.
But what do you do with rancid pork?
The federal government’s Joint Office of Energy and Transportation announced on Thursday $632 million in grants to fund clean vehicle infrastructure. Twenty-two states along with Puerto Rico will be the recipients of this first round of funding from the $2.5 billion Charging and Fueling Infrastructure program, which started accepting applications in March 2023.
Although US carbon emissions fell last year, most of that was achieved through much cleaner energy generation. But when it comes to transportation’s contribution to our annual carbon impact, that line is sadly still going up. Which is why it was encouraging that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2022 included $7.5 billion for clean vehicle infrastructure.
Two-thirds of that was set aside for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure formula program. That $5 billion is being spent mostly on DC fast-charging infrastructure, mostly at regular intervals along highway corridors, but also on charger reliability. Rather than paying for the chargers directly, the federal government is awarding the money to states and metropolitan planning organizations the way it does with other highway formula funds.
The other $2.5 billion was allocated for CFI. Unlike NEVI, CFI has been open to a wider pool of applications, including local governments and public-private partnerships looking to fund clean vehicle infrastructure in underserved or rural areas. For this round of $632 million in grants, more than 70 percent of the funds will be spent in disadvantaged communities, according to the Joint Office.
“A hallmark of the CFI program is its context sensitivity—it gives communities the opportunity to build the right mix of charging to meet the specific e-mobility needs of people where they live, work, and play,” said Joint Office Executive Director Gabe Klein.
This is vastly superior to organic market driven growth. People who only operate on a profit seeking model might not ever get around to putting chargers where they’ll never be used.
Im surprise NJ allows owners to plug in their own electric vehicle instead of requiring someone else to do it for them.
At first I thought it was just a fund-raising thing, but surely not even the Chinese will pay much for septuagenarian organs. Then it hit me: they’re using prisoners as test subjects in their reanimation experiments!
https://abc3340.com/news/local/family-says-organs-including-brain-missing-from-deceased-inmate-body-in-noticeable-state-of-decomposition-adoc-uab-st-clair-county
‘not even the Chinese will pay much for septuagenarian organs’
What if you don’t tell them the organs are 70?
The Chinese are very savvy organ buyers. It’s not like trying to pass something off on a Dubliner.
That’s the ticket. You have to have inscrutable thoughts and plans.
“These awards will leverage the creativity and expertise of American communities around the country advancing clean and equitable transportation options through innovative projects like charging and hydrogen fueling for heavy duty trucks on major corridors, electrification at multifamily housing, multimodal charging hubs for e-bikes and scooters, and even pedestrian safety improvements,” Klein said.
That’s exactly what I would have said. We all know how efficient decisionmaking is at the “community” level. Much equitable. So innovation.
Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade steps out armed with handgun after bombshell Fani Willis affair allegations — and didn’t deny tryst
Wearing a trendy cobalt suit, he walked from the luxury car toward the office and declined to comment on the alleged affair.
“No,” he snapped when asked if he would answer any questions.
Moments later, Wade left the building and appeared to be holding a gun in one hand.
Georgia is an open-carry state even without a permit and The Post does not suggest Wade was involved in any wrongdoing.
So he has that nice suit, but doesn’t own a holster? Typical democrat.
If a pleb did that, it would be “brandishing.”
Its not real
That is just . . . Delicious. I expect his ex-wife has at least some of the receipts. And she subpoenaed Fani, who gets to go under oath.
If true, it does answer the question of why she brought in somebody less qualified than many on her staff (no RICO or felony prosecution experience) for this very high-profile case.
OK, so the close-up pic shows it’s in a kydex holster. So he’s carrying it in a holster but not wearing it.
Best possible interpretation: he was leaving work and fixing to drive off, and it’s uncomfortable-ish, so he unmounted the holster before walking to the car because it’s more awkward and uncomfortable to do so when you’re sitting in the car. Done that a few times depending on what I’m wearing.
Is that what he does every day? Doing it to be seen as vaguely threatening? Dunno
Given who he is, I think he was brandishing it on purpose. I see no reason for the default assumption to be anything other than “asshole”.
I don’t wash any meat. My mom washes chicken.
I’ve never understood that video genre.
Yes and yes — but it has more to do with rinsing and patting it dry with a paper towel to prepare it for rubs / spices than hygiene per se.
So yes — I always pat my meat to make it spicy for my wife. Thanks for asking!
Give your meat a good ol rub
https://youtu.be/u2X7GCUhZJs?si=JVdYBc2hv-KChX8O
I rinse off chicken slime, especially if I’m going to bread the chicken.
Look at you. All serious and stuff.
When you bread chicken, do you first baste it with mayonnaise or sour cream? Or an egg mixture?
Flour then egg then bread crumbs.
flour – egg – millet flour.
Millet flour won’t make gravy, but it produces a really crispy crust for frying.
Survivalist prepper
Mark Zuckerberg is giving off survivalist vibes with his recent outdoor activities.
This week, he said in an Instagram post that he’s “started raising cattle” and shared a clip of a large catapult launching an object.
“Always be building #7386. Catapult competition, round 2,” he wrote in the caption.
It follows news that the billionaire is building a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker on his 1,500-acre estate in Kauai, Hawaii, Wired reported in December.
He said in a separate Instagram post that he was raising Wagyu and Angus cows at his ranch in Hawaii and plans to give them beer to drink, which acts as an appetite stimulant, beef producer Blackmore Wagyu, said on its website.
Does he have a permit for that catapult?
He’s cow-flinging?
Tenderizes the meat!
Is he wearing Kleenex boxes on his feet and storing his urine in Mason jars yet?
The current version of Zuckerbot recycles its urine and Kleenex boxes would interfere with the caterpillar drive.
Can you imagine if Musk was doing any of that? My god the left would be going apeshit.
Yeah, I rinse chicken and Pat dry with paper towels.
I don’t tend to rinse pork or beef unless there’s a bunch of raw meat juices in the packaging,
Inconsistent! Perhaps. Important? Probably not.
But lets keep sending Ukraine money and weapons.
Gonzalo Lira, Sr. says his son has died at 55 in a Ukrainian prison, where he was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments. Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed.
Too bad he wasn’t a weed-smoking, female basketball player.
Culinarily, it depends on what the packaging was and where I got it.
The butcher paper-wrapped meats are in more danger of drying out than needing a wash. The regular grocery store shrink-wrapped animal bits need a bath.
The Pats hired a new coach. https://sports.yahoo.com/patriots-hire-jerod-mayo-to-replace-bill-belichick-as-head-coach-134627304.html
They acted fast because they have a lot of ketchup to do.
Takes a lot of mustard to fire a coach after so long.
Acting fast is probably the way to go, so I won’t condiment it.
You don’t want the emulsion to break.
New coach in action.
I relish this kind of sports news.
I may start salsa dancing in celebrations.
It may not mean much to you and me, but it’s a big dill to New England NFL fans.
I’m surprised they aren’t getting the marketing / propagandists involved during development. So they aren’t naming the next plague until they release it?
The chinese recently developed a fatal brain virus. But probably to fatal.
Brain rot virus is a part of A Deepness in the Sky.
So 120′ social distancing and vigintuple masking?
Stock up on toilet paper!
Why only 20x?
Punk ass bitches.
Time is a flat circle.
True Detective’ Gets a Rewarding Reboot in the Eerie ‘Night Country,’ Starring Jodie Foster: TV Review
By Alison Herman
Looking back, 2014 was truly a different time: Obama was in office, skinny jeans still reigned supreme and “True Detective” established itself with an unabashed emphasis on masculinity.
In pairing Matthew McConaughey with Woody Harrelson on a journey through the bayou, creator Nic Pizzolatto elevated some of that genre’s clichés and left others intact — including a marginal presence for women, crowded into bit roles as wives and villains to make room for portentous monologues and four-minute tracking shots.
The fourth season of “True Detective,” subtitled “Night Country,” is both a sharp break from the show’s past and an implicit response to its shortcomings. After a disastrous Season 2 and an improved, if understated, Season 3, Pizzolatto has fully ceded all showrunning duties, though he retains credit as an executive producer. In his place, Mexican filmmaker Issa López takes the reins for a haunting murder mystery set in far northern Alaska. (Director Barry Jenkins also joins the “True Detective” team via his production company Pastel.) And to share the titular role, López casts a first for the franchise: multiple female leads, in the form of living legend Jodie Foster and boxer-turned-actor Kali Reis. But “Night Country” doesn’t just tweak the “True Detective” formula in terms of gender. The six-episode season also takes a notably different approach to the supernatural, a background motif of past installments that here becomes a central theme.
It has the stink of work upon it.
I was looking forward to this. Now, I think I’ll wait until The Drinker weighs in on it.
Fucking typos
It has the stink of woke upon it.
Work does stink, though.
But replacing men with women everywhere makes everything better. I mean, come on.
I’d watch it if it was set in Cicely.
I mixed it up with a different show and was going to make a MAiD joke. Wrong side of the border.
Best show ever.
My wife is home on sick-leave for a couple weeks and just started watching it; she was a little too young for the initial run.
First comment was how dated it is w.r.t. no cellphones / using pay phones.
That, and she thought the cast was too white to be realistic – we had to have a talk about Alaskan demographics (it’s pretty white).
an unabashed emphasis on masculinity.
Unmentioned – excellent nudity from Alexandra Daddario.
She does have very nice………..eyes
I read an article recently that said her career basically ended at that show. She sort of disappeared after doing the nude work on True Detective.
She had plenty of work after that, but a few years ago she (a) turned 35, and (b) got married — both of which signal the winding-down of a starlet’s career.
I do not think it means what you think it means
“Bidenomics” in particular involved his signature Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which involved spending hundreds of billions of dollars to revamp infrastructure and kickstart high-tech manufacturing and green energy and technology.
The best way to reduce inflation is to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the air.

The strange plight of the libertarian woman: making our own sammich.
Just had a lovely one of deli thin sliced Turkey breast, Swiss cheese, cucumber slices, mayo, and Ruffles potato chips. Yes, im one of those troglodytes who puts chips on the sandwich.
Yummy.
Back under the electric blanket for more back healing. It’s 17 degrees outside. Cat is happy Im home. 😻
Wow I thought it was always pretty mild up there.
That’s not mild.
Yeah, it’s considered a cold snap.
Mean daily min for January is 35; mean daily max is 48F. Record low 1F.
I’m more appalled at the unpickled cucumber than the chips.
I picked up the raw cucumber on a sandwich habit when I lived in Sweden and would buy a premade sandwich at the subway exit to eat later. Instead of lettuce, they used cucumber because it didn’t wilt like lettuce.
Made total sense to me so I’ve done it ever since.
It’s more that pickled has more flavor rather than cucumber versus lettuce. I don’t generally put lettuce on sandwiches.
I wanted the sammich no taste like turkey, cheese, and mayo.
I have a jar of pickles in the fridge but tend to eat them as a standalone snack when I want pickle flavor.
Cucumber sandwiches are good.
I picked up various combos of apples, onions, and cheese sandwiches from working in the UK.
Onion sandwiches?
James Beard’s Famous Onion Sandwich Recipe | Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53zD6i5zGc8
Yeah. Or cheese and onion. Any combo of those 3 actually.
Pickles and peanut butter is a good one too.
Pineapple sandwiches are a thing, too, at least in the South in the summer. Not sure if they’re known in the rest of the world.
Better known is the pimento cheese sandwich.
Lesser known is peanut butter and mayo.
My brother used to do that when we were kids. I hate mayo in all circumstances (only other things on that list are sour cream, olives, and anise).
I like cheddar and Branston pickle sandwiches.

Ingredients
Soybean Oil, Water, Distilled Vinegar, Sugar, Mustard, Salt, Whole Egg Solids, Food Starch-Modified, Xanthan Gum, Spice Extractives.
so basically toxic ooze
Water, Distilled Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt are not bad.
those 4 things are not
those four are literally the basic recipe for mustard. (or an ingredient off from it)
The optional ingredient is whole mustard seed as opposed to the ground.
Water, Distilled Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt are mustard.
Mustard and mayonnaise mixed together?
Yup. I had thought it also had a touch of horseradish, but unless that’s one of the “spices,” I was mistaken.
Why Some People Don’t Have an Inner Monologue Wha? How do you think at all if you’re not talking in your brain? I don’t understand any of this #FuckLoveScience. Does this mean NPCs are real and I live in the Matrix? I don’t want to live in the Matrix! I want to live on the 13th floor.
Crazy ain’t it? I talk to myself all the time in my head, don’t know how I’d get anything done without that. I wish I’d shut up sometimes to be honest but that’s what alcohol’s for.
How do you operate? It’s like the main processor of the brain isn’t working.
Seems some people do operate on base instinct, without forethought.
“ But what about the 50 to 70 percent of folks who don’t have or infrequently have words in their heads?”
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/intersections/202304/inner-monologues-what-are-they-and-whos-having-them
Yeah, a lot of people if you believe the numbers. Going from stimulus/ response to stimulus/response with no input is no way to live.
Just reading that article made me want to shove the author’s head in a toilet and flush it a few times.
Do you literally say to yourself “I’m going to do this thing now?” I just do it. When I’m setting up a sight picture, there isn’t any English in my head saying “align the sights.” When I’m writing, I’ll have the actual words in my head prior to the fingers typing, but that’s it. When I’m playing music from the written sheet music in front of me, I don’t translate it. I don’t think “F#” or even “second finger D string” the fingers just go where they’re supposed to. I will internally-verbally count rhythm sometimes though.
well o if i want a sip of beer i don’t think I’ll get a sip of beer i just grab the bottle. but if I think of anything involving words or advanced concepts I hear words in my head.
Sliding scale:
Talking to yourself internally
Talking to yourself out loud
Hearing responses
Hearing responses externally
Having multiple voices who are all secretly plotting against you.
The voices in my head talk about me like I’m not even there.
There is a difference between having no inner monolog and having some inner monolog. Some of us have an inner & outer monolog that makes their significant other want to strangle them. Having no inner monolog is very bizzare to me. It make me think they have no personality or sense of self.
All I can think of is a story my sister told me years ago: Back when she was in college and spending a semester in NYC, she was preparing to cook a whole chicken and rinsed the inside, running the water into the obvious opening. Her roommate began to laugh hysterically and said, “She’s douching a chicken!”
Carrying forward from morning thread:
When Netflix puts on a season of an anime, I assume they are buying it from a studio and slapping their name on it, rather than actually producing it from the ground up. Netflix frequently (it seems to me) will run one “season” of a show, then you never see any future seasons. What is the likelihood that one would be able to find future seasons of those shows through other distribution channels, like Crunchy Roll? For example, Netflix had the first season of Attack on Titan, but nothing more. I see is on Season 3 on CR (via Prime). I suppose some (many) of those single season show just didn’t get picked up by anybody, and never made any more. More generally, is CR going to have a back catalog of shows that are no longer in production?
I’m trying to evaluate if it’s worth horking up the extra monthly to Amazon for a CR subscription.
Netflix is a Distribution company, not a studio. They do ‘produce’ some stuff, but it’s not in the same sense as a Hollywood studio. They don’t have any production facilities, they just provide funding.
The new “Netflix” anime are hour-long episodes. I don’t know what if anything that means.
They made the live-action One Piece, but also have 20 seasons of the original. Which is longer than M*A*S*H.
OK, let me help you with your direct question. There are a couple of services which can scan the majority of streaming companies and tell you who has more episodes. My favorite at the moment is JustWatch.com Type in the titles, see what comes up. This is a handy service I use often. No cost. So when I put in Attack on Titan, it shows me which streaming services have it hosted. I got a lot of results, series, movies, etc… along with where you can stream it, buy it or rent it.
https://www.justwatch.com/us/search?q=Attack%20on%20Titan
When I did One Piece, Pluto turned up with nine seasons! That is just one of a bunch of options out there.
https://www.justwatch.com/us/search?q=one%20Piece
The thing that’s getting me is series/movies that were either never released on DVD or the DVD is out of print, and the shows aren’t available for streaming anywhere.
Are binary newsgroups still a thing? Any chance of finding that stuff there?
They’re now all nonbinary newsgroups.
*golf clap*
Yup. Tubi has “By the Sword,” an unjustly neglected movie I very much enjoyed.
It’s a VHS rip.
I love it when I find that stuff. Static lines and all.
It displays on the middle 240 pixels of my screen.
Once you get to the level where you absolutely know something was once available, it’s eBay time. Amazon overcharges like crazy for out of print.
For example, I wanted original Cosmos (not shitty new Cosmos). Original full set on Amazon? $120. Same thing on eBay? $44.
There is no great solution to find EVERYTHING, other than archival searches of the internet. JustWatch is probably the best tool for immediate gratification. Grummun’s One Piece question, for example. Pluto has 3 more seasons than NetFlix. And Pluto is free. That’s awesome, and you can watch immediately.
Dang. How that be out-of-print? It’s a freaking classic. I want it too.
It was out of print in English, I could only find a dubbed version in Spain, which is the wrong zone. Frustrating. originals were super-expensive. Ridiculous. eBay had a few out there at a reasonable price. I think there is some kind of scarcity AI on Amazon that does crazy markups when things become scarce.
