I have a couple theater stories:

1986, The Fly. Movie starts, title sequence comes up, "The Fly". Guy in the back of the theater lets out a huge, throaty "YEEAAHH!". Whole theater cracks up.

1996, Independence Day opening day (July 4). Audience is totally engrossed, edge of their seats. The explosion is racing through the tunnel, the dog jumps through the door just in time, and screen goes black: "July 3". Audience goes fucking APESHIT, the highest energy I've ever felt in a crowd in my life.

    I wonder who the golden calf-god was that had early Christians so afraid that they put it in their "absolutely don't" shortlist?

    I hesitated to post this. It's really out of focus, blurry. But the pareidolia seems real to me. I took this a couple weeks ago, drowsing at the campfire. in c/photography@lemmy.world

    Not cream cheese, but this is unexpectedly awesome:

    • 8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
    • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon Kahlua or other coffee liqueur

    Electronics and accessories? (lemmy.ca)
     

    What are some good Canadian-owned retailers to buy electronics, electronic components, and computer accessories from?

    I'm talking about things like USB hubs and peripherals, monitors, cabling, and electronic components like you used to be able to get at the Radio Shack of yore. For audio stuff, I go to Long & McQuade, but non-audio? shrug

    Ideally, this would be a brick-and-mortar place in the GTA (but outside Toronto proper) but online would be great, too.

    Moonman M2 with Pilot Parallel nib. How? HOW‽ (lemmy.ca)
     

    I've been trying to put a Pilot Parallel nib unit into a Moonman M2. Easy, right? There are lots of pictures and guides online.

    Only...they don't work for me. From what I understand, you friction fit the Parallel nib unit into the M2 section. No go. The Parallel nib unit just falls out, there is no friction. I've tried pushing the nib unit really hard, to friction fit with the inner threads of the M2 section, but that doesn't work - it just won't go and I'm afraid I'm going to break the Parallel feed.

    The Parallel nib unit won't go into the M2 nib unit, too big. The Parallel section won't screw into the M2 body, threads are the wrong pitch.

    What's going on? Do I have a miniature Parallel? A giant M2? Does anyone have a good video showing how this is done? I'm at my wits end, I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks!
