She'd leave you for a 4k scanner?

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey I'd offer to drive a leg across the Midwest if I didn't already have other imminent travel right now

Edit to add: please feel free to ping me if you end up arranging a pony express style transport plan. I could donate a day of my time to the cause if the timing works out. I also have a minivan I can put into freight mode if we're trans loading, or I could invest in a tow hitch like I've been strongly considering for a while and tow a small trailer (emphasis on small)

@alyx Holy shit, I haven't seen one of these since the company I worked for owned one!

@alyx I originally read this as "we rescued a set of 4k (versions of the) movie film Scanners" and I was briefly terrified

[su_liam@mas.to]

@gnate @alyx Collecting crap. And in my hands, it would honestly be frivolous crap. It looks like it’s going to a good home though.

@su_liam
Indeed! Hope it works out for the GA crew.

@ajroach42 @alyx This is an excellent example of social media working. May the scanners arrive soon, ready to help digitize some film!

[nosfe@kamu.social]

@alyx excellent!

[nosfe@kamu.social]

@mihamarkic @alyx no

[mihamarkic@mastodon.social]

@nosfe @alyx I'll pass then

[kirakira@furry.engineer]

@alyx oh that rules, i hope you find a good spot for them

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

@djsundog @ajroach42 @vfrmedia @rey as long as that u-haul has a liftgate, sure

[rey@toot.cat]

@alyx @djsundog @ajroach42 @vfrmedia now is the time when we get to find out who in Seattle has a forklift license

[john@fairdinkum.one]

@alyx

Huh. They look like extras for the robots in #Interstellar

[djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology]

@rey@toot.cat @alyx@frogs.lgbt @ajroach42@retro.social @vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de you don't need a license for a forklift, just $100 and a driver at the nearest soda bottling plant who'd like a free long lunch across town <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://fedi.reclaim.technology/emoji/stolen/fingerguns-0dLvNiz7X.png" title=":fingerguns:" />

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey this is like watching people fall in love on discord, but more usefully to humanity
