    I was just recently in Western SD, where it rained like in AZ at one point (the sky was actually clear along with the rain), but otherwise it was beautiful the whole weekend, even creeping into the 90s. Meanwhile, Sioux Falls was flooded. Also, my grandmother had the Husker Du game, and my brother liked the underground punk band that took its name from the game.

    Interesting timing with this video. I just found a similar model from VideoKing at the thrift store and thought it would make for a great guitar pedal enclosure. But then after kinda looking at the circuit, I thought I should see if anyone has any demos of it. I figured it probably has a bucket brigade or pt2399 chip in it to create a slight delay on one audio channel. Haven't seen the schematics on these yet, so thanks for the video! It gives me an idea of what I might be able to do with this.

    4:00. Yeah, that's not how it went down. The NSA was afraid of any encryption scheme that they could not crack in a timely manner, to make sure that no one, including Americans, could hide anything from "Big Brother." So they subverted the existing sedition laws to classify any strong encryption scheme as "munitions" as a way to scare people into not using encryption. In reality, there was no secrecy when it came to encryption algorithms, that is, the math was known by everyone on the planet if they they looked for it. The NSA knew it was complete BS, and there would be no way to stop any foreign nations from using strong encryption, so this was purely aimed at Americans, so the NSA can snoop everyone they wanted to nationally. Eventually the computer industry paid off enough senators and representatives to get a vote on a law to change the vague definition of "munitions" to allow industry to sell their production using encryption with no interferrence.

    Judging by the numbers on the price tags, these antique shops appear to run under a consignment model. Each of those tag numbers are assigned to an individual who has brought stuff to sell there, either on a shelf or in a rented out booth. There is a thrift shop in my town that operates in a similar manner, so some retro tech goodies can range from very affordable to horrendously overpriced. So it's not always the fault of the store itself for the high prices. I did see a price on one of those Sony HF cassettes, which were $4.99 per tape! At that same price I was able to get a grab bag of several blank audio and video tapes at Savers one year! Having said that, how much were those blank VHS tapes at I-29 Antiques? Some of them looked rather recent, circa late 2000s/early 2010s.

    9:37 Techmoan will be reviewing that Emerson dual cassette deck unit, if he hasn't already. Loves that peak 80s design. Edit to add, the Charlie Weaver toy takes two C or D flashlight batteries, had one years ago. He shakes the martini, pours, drinks as his cheeks glow red while a smacking lips type action makes a creepy sound.

    You've got half a chance of taking something home if you hit up enough thrift stores but the roadside antique and consignment type places are brutally expensive no matter where you go...a swamp meet might be better but I have terrible luck at the antique places...antique stores are fine if you want to fritter some time away and take a stroll into yesteryear but not take anything home. Oh and the legendarily coked-up Wings Hauser clip and the end was a treat!

    Those Looney Tunes coffins. I have both of those. There was a Taz one as well I never managed to get. I want to say he was Dracula. They were Russel Strover branded Halloween candy containers. You got one or two small chocolate caramel bars in them Anyway, you opened it up, and it made that standard "wooooowoooooo" flying saucer/ghost noise that the cheapest Halloween decorations usually made. Anyway, I think us up here could use that How to Hunt Wild Turkeys video. They tend to run amok over here and often can wander into towns. They're supposedly very aggressive though the couple encounters I had with them, they just minded their business if you left them alone.

    I think that Santa phone line with the 666 number that also shared the exact same one with an adult line must have been by different people, because there was an Easter bunny one with that number that also mentioned whoopies and special olympics. I think the phone sex line either sold their number or it was much later.

      I've looked into them before, and they do still make the patties that are meant to stock the dispenser, and some places (though it's fairly rare now) do keep the machines in use. There's a chance those patties were still in date.

    Well you see, Buddy-O. That microphone input. Would be more appropriate. From something like a desktop, Push to Talk, communication microphone. This way. You can speak over the programming. Interrupt the programming. And when released. Goes back to the programming. Or just phase the programming under. When you push to talk. I reckon. So that whoever is listening. Wherever they are in the house. Dinner is Ready. Or the Dog needs to go Out for a Walk. Etc., etc. Or? Attention Walmart Shoppers. For folks out in the parking lot. Listening to the Walmart Radio Network Loop, programming. With their old-fashioned, classic cuts, format. So there's never a song you don't know. That makes it so much easier to pick out and purchase, more stuff. It is their own radio network. And you can get it online. I would imagine? Though, I have never tried. It won't be long now. Before Walmart, Target and others are staffed with Robotic Sales Executives. They will answer your questions and understand your, consternation. And then eject you from the premises. Forever. You won't make it past the front door, again. As facial recognition technology works great! There will be no more minimum-wage entry-level jobs. There will be no more doughnut makers. No more hamburger flippers. No more bathroom cleaning to do. What's everybody going to do, then? We won't need any truck drivers. That's for sure. Nobody can stay awake behind the wheel long enough anymore. It's better to order a Lamborghini. Then tickets to the Circus. You just wave your credit card wherever you go! And purchase multiple items of the same thing at the same time. At checkout. Without knowing. Since it reads all of your cards. You don't have to waive or swipe anything. You merely have to be passing through. Needing to go to the bathroom, desperately. We are in for a wacky ride. In years, to come. As everybody loses their jobs. And the wealthier get wealthier still yet more. And everybody else is up out of work. And thrown in jail because they are now homeless. And it is, all their fault! They should have been wealthy. They didn't want to be, wealthy. George Orwell's 1984? Anybody? RemyRAD
