I thought it was supposed to be bad even compared to VHS and they degrade pretty fast

I had a friend who worked at Circuit City, the poor bastard had to push everyone about this great DivX technology that no one wanted or had asked for. "What, the movie breaks? I want a DVD player that won't break my movies."

I had a pretty good VHS hall the other day, including terminator two, kids, and a 1984 Star Wars. And a sick Cohiba ashtray but I'm going to give that to my dad for Father's Day

I looked it up after seeing those and yeah there's no hack or any other way to play them now. I considered buying one just for the novelty but they were $2 each, maybe for 50 cents I would have gotten one. I also checked the electronics section to see if there was an actual Divx player as well, but nope. Sometimes they have legit VCDs there too, usually Asian movies but I did pick up Executive Decision for 50 cents once.

Whoa, so did they seriously invent an unbreakable DRM, only to use it on a retarded video rental scheme?

DivX used a barcode printed on a part of the disc, that the machine would read to assess a disc's (watched or unwatched?) status, which was monitored on DivX account servers. I imagine that if the servers still existed, someone would have figured out a way to hack it, but that poo poo didn't last.

I bought a huge basket for $20. Still too much, but you could fit a four-year-old in there. It'll be cool for living history as long as people don't make too many dumb comments (some old lady asked if I was going to put a baby in it WHILE I WAS STILL AT THE COUNTER. Seriously)

Fleta Mcgurn posted:Jesus loving Christ, you are the MASTER. I have a spidey sense for this, high/mid end fashion on a low budget is my hobby. I recently bought an embarrassment of DMC brand and vintage cross stitch supplies for peanuts. Knowing your tags and knowing your fabrics and construction is supper important. Also knowing what is a diffusion line (eg Marc by Marc Jacobs), defunct lines (eg Chaps, Rugby, Polo Jeans Co, Lauren by Ralph Lauren) and vintage brand lables (eg Rive Gauche by Christian Dior). And being selective about what you do buy, I've put down Paul Smith, YSL, Ted Baker, Prada items because they will never fit and or physically have seen the last of their good days. Also checking where things are made - some things like Pierre Cardin were made in Australia under licence there. There are also swathes of local designers who have cult followings with collector's (Easton Pearson for example I have a dress that probs retailed around 150 for 5)

Anyone in Spain? EVERYTHING at Humana is two Euro this month. It is loving great. Of course, it necessitates more than the usual amount of picking through crap, but I've spent twenty Euro already and I've only been here for five days.

I refurbished a "refurbished" Pulaski tool I got from a Habitat For Humanity store for $20. The original "refurbish" was spraying the head with a weird matte dark red paint and that's about it. The handle was rough and splintery and the head was loose.  So I dug the wedge out piece by piece and pulled the head off, sanded, stained, painted and put a satin clearcoat on the handle, sanded all the red junk off the head and painted it Forest Service Green.  Also here's a cool old photo I found when I was trying to find a close match for the color:

I found some plate armor replicas, a helmet and some gauntlets. $50. One time our local Salvation Army got a ton of stuff from Hot Topic. My niece loved their stuff. There was a shirt she'd wanted, and lo and behold, here it was, original tags still on it. $3 instead of $45. So I got it for her, with her mother's approval. I gave it to her for her birthday, where she was thrilled. Fit perfectly. Great, right? One day while she's wearing it her bitch mother says, "By the way, KK got that at Salvation Army." Suddenly it wasn't fitting her right, it was too large/small/long/short/black. I am so loving glad those people are out of my life.

 Wall decoration.    The console nobody liked in the mid-90s. Came with a copy of Virtua Cop.  Picture I bought ages ago. EDIT: This as well.

Is that store in Manhattan? Looks familiar. I work at a junk store and it is a nightmare. But sometimes you get some cool stuff. Rarely.
