Went for a nice walk up to the Chalet, I noticed this relief model of the Mountain and surrounding area near the Statue. When did this pop up? I don't recall seeing it before. It's cool.

Just based on looks and weight this seemed like a decent find, turns out these are still sold for a bit more than that. Except for a few stains on one woofer they look new, and came with the power cord and speaker cable.

A Calibur V2 for 9$. Apparently worth a bit more. I don't know why I keep buying keyboards, I have a hard time typing on this style but I like the look.

OK, "luxury" is pushing it, but I like the flip out keypad, the backlit display, and that it uses a 9V battery which means I can use a USB battery instead of disposable coin cells.

The stainless steel surface is easy to clean, and the readout isn't blocked by the thing you're weighing.

I don't know, what do you think? Good deal?

I went this afternoon hoping to find good Polish-style sausages. Instead I found overpriced produce and "boutique" meats at inflated prices.

I saw a Montreal hot dog stand that was 29$ for two hot dogs and some sides. I thought hot dogs were a poor person's food.

Complete nonsense.

This thing looks, and feels, like it came from an actual F-15. Holding it I feel like I could bomb [country that offends you] tonight!

Anyhow it's a Radio Shack 26-8104 "F-15 Combat Fighter" joystick. It's heavy. There seems to be a metal plate with actual hex head screws holding it together. There's a mish-mash of PS2, PC, and DB-15 connectors on there, can't wait to see if it sends out mouse or keyboard signals. Maybe because it has so many buttons it uses both the 15 pin and keyboard interface?

Googling it gives the rarely seen

"No results found for Radio Shack 26-8104 "F-15 Combat Fighter"."

Like, you'd think maybe one or two hits, something, some retirement home Myspace page about flight sims, nothing.

I just buy these things because they amaze me more than having a use for them.

Never heard of this company, this is for some fancy throughout-the-house amp system. These things would be near the speakers while the central control was elsewhere. It must need a pre-amp or something since there's no volume control.

I only picked it up because of the great weight and metal face plate. For 18$ I get an enormous transformer in there. Apparently on eBay the sold listings are >100$. Not bad.

Still-in-wrap discs for $2 each then a pair of totally '80s portable speakers. I think there must have been a portable Citizen radio-cassette player in the middle. I just wanted them for the rizz

I think these three movies are a good haul on Bluray. There is a lot less quantity than before in the disc sections, I was pretty happy to find these.

So what, exactly, is it? Does it create a virtual PO box address that gets routed to my post office of choice?

But how do I know the item in China gets shipped in a way that it gets into Canada Post's hands?

Try asking a Chinese vendor on Aliexpress if they can ship to a Canadian PO box, it's like talking to a customer service chatbot, the replies make no sense.

Anyone use Flexdelivery with Aliexpress?

It goes up one floor. It's indoors. It's narrow. It only carries people with books. It doesn't get wet, or get pebbles in the grooves. It has been repaired many times, and even recently completely replaced as far as I know.

How is this thing always down? Anyone know?

Didn't need it but I miss keys and I think this thing was pretty good in its day. Unfortunately I didn't check for leakage in the store, they get upset if you open the package before buying. It had carbon-zinc batteries with a little leakage that rinsed away with tap water, but the backup battery was horrendous. Thing won't power up, I suppose I'll have open it and clean it/fix it. Or just toss it in storage.
