Dami rin misinformation

ahhh yes the death of third place tbh I can see why baguio is so crowded during the tourist season it is one of the cheapest places to go out relative to Tagaytay and LU

pagkaintindi ko sa situationship parang MU ng nakaraan, este non-committal dahil di pa talaga alam kung anong gagawin sa buhay hahaha so di naman siyang bagong bagay feel ko

TIL na may term na “situationship”.

It’s MU for gen Zs. Im all for dating multiple people for all genders too basta ba naman upfront agad.

Lumaki sila sa panahon ng ragebait eh. Either you do or you dont support a thing kaya maraming galit.

to be fair yung mga results ni google ngayon parang kailangan lagyan mo pa ng website name sa dulo para lang makita mo yung kailangan mo or go further down sa results cause everything is so SEO focused nowadays unless you know the weird search parameters like filetype:pdf and alike

I definitely guilty for hating the guy without considering his move, but kudos to his admin (not him hehe) for doing thia digitize thingy

Pero sana nga lang mas maging easy talaga at walang delay sa proceasing. Alam naman natin na kahit sino pa nakaupo, may issue parati sa mga government offices. Parang yun drivers license ko, ilang months na wala pa rin ID, papel pa rin dala-dala ko

Haha, naka-sort by NEW yan. Nagkataon lang kakapost.

am curious how do said tapes even withstand erosion?

Tapes are honestly robust. Not many people know that so they tend to give up on their tapes if they get flooded, dirty, or the ribbon gets cut. Plenty of VHS got discarded during Ondoy when it could still be remedied. Dust, molds, and sticky shed - they can be cleaned. Huge pain in the ass, though! Here’s me cleaning one that’s super dirty.

and do you mind explaining the restoration process I imagine it ain’t cheap?

When I first started, I just bought a cheap VCR and a digital dongle that’s around 2k all in all. The results are okay, but you run into problems when the tape is in bad shape. I have since learned a lot and upgraded to better equipment.

It’s expensive (due to rarity), but luckily for me, VHS restoration isn’t a thing here so you can buy stuff much cheaper than those in the US. I was able to get an S-VHS player here for 9k when on eBay it runs for 84k++

Digitizing is real time. I copy it losslessly, upscale it a bit to 720p, then compress to mp4. I can’t afford a frame TBC (device used to clean VCR signals that was pricey then and is more pricey and rare now) so sometimes there’s not much I can do with super old and poorly-recorded tapes even if I have 80% of the highly recommended capture setup.

also gow do you even come accross these tapes

Most of it is from the little I was able to save from my own recordings. Used to have like 60 tapes but only set aside 15 when we remodeled the house a long time ago. The rest, I buy off Carousell or FB for dirt cheap because the seller just wants to get rid of it. Some are donations.

I regret getting in the hobby late in the game. Those who own recordings likely disposed of them many years ago. You also have to contend with cartels who buy tapes just so they’re the only ones who have copies of any lost media.

Paki-link mo man ang post na nai-link ko s’aking comment para matulungan yung hindi nila maka-access sa MRD thread sapagkat hindi naka-tsek ang “show bot account”?

Edit, already pinned na, hindi mo na kailangang mag-risponde s’aking comento

A congressman argued that for jeepney modernization to push through under the “PrObLeMa NyO nA mGa TsUpEr YaN”, the fare has to be 40 pesos or roughly 10k/day in earnings, whichever is higher.

Naturally, those calling the drivers drama queens and pounding their chests about the environment, disagrees with it. Bakit daw mga pasahero sasagot, bakit hindi gobyerno — which is 1000% the reason why the drivers have been picketing for years, lmao.
