Pre-HD television was ass

are you guys saying you've never known the thrill of straining eyeball and mind to perceive soft-core through the veil of snow and scramble ?

Now we need 4k sports widely adopted. Occasionally something streams or is broadcast in 4k and, while not as much of a jump from SD to HD, it is a considerable improvement.

Nice job.

How long are you going to sticker that hemlock for? I put up a number of 1" thick boards for a year inside a cold barn and still had shrinkage when I installed in this ceiling. I ended up squaring the boards and putting in strips of black metal between them to deal with any additional moisture loss.

Two inch thick hemlock seems like it would take a long time to dry.

Very cool. I've been in some old farm houses where they'd laid rope between floor boards. What part of the world is your place in?

I'm going to try to quarter saw most of the flooring (grain direction at a right angle to the boards' surfaces), which should result in boards that shrink a lot less. If they're still not dry enough to use next winter, I'll borrow some space in a friend's solar kiln. I hope to do the wood shop floor using green wood in the Korean style. That's a cool way to make a floor.

That's some pretty high quality footage, probably pulled from source materials and with no interlacing. Anything that was actually seen in a CRT TV in 1994 would have looked like this to your eye:

(this image isn't actually interlaced...but it captures the effect of seeing both frames at once)

The only actually interlaced still frames I could find were clearly from HD footage:

1080i on the left, 1080p on the right.

That’s a good point. The TV I would watched that game on was a 25” CRT. Good times…

This is rift sawing, no?

quarter sawn preserves yield , there are other schemes but generally you end up with more boards grained on at least the one side

The entire house in this thread is nuts but that might be a basic bitćh compared to the guy that built it. Insane.

Reminds me of when I was tripping on shrooms when I was at Texas Tech.

The camel only starves if you don't stock the moat with the appropriate food for a camel. Perhaps a fish of some sort?
