Not a drinker. Nice to have the non-alcoholic option!

I'm probably going to substitute the black charcoal tea with food coloring that's free of artificial dyes. From my research that's what other mixologists have used. Activated charcoal, can possibly interact with medications and apparently it's tasteless. Basically it's a detox. But yeah i'm going with alcohol free too. I've got my stuff on order, I'll try to post a photo when I've mixed one up.

Had Rob Floyd on the #SlidersRewatch on Twitter last night. We watched New Gods for Old and he designed us a specific drink.

I was telling Jim_Hall on Twitter: I am amazed by his beautiful restoration work on SLIDERS publicity photos which he acquired at considerable expense and cleaned up in Photoshop with an astonishing level of dedication and effort. I've been using Gigapixel on some old low-res publicity photos of LONELYGIRL15 myself, but it really shines with Jim_Hall starting with 35mm slides.

It's taken hundreds of dollars to acquire them. Plus each one took hours to restore. The 4800dpi scan was plenty. I think the 2x I just done couldn't pull any more detail whatsoever. However, if you need a bigger print have at it. But a 4800dpi is plenty for like a 16x20.

After hours of scanning, lighting/color correction, dust removal of each speck by hand in photoshop at 4800dpi for near 100% accurate detail. I ran it through 2x Gigapixel. Here are the results: A 91.25 Megapixel Photo in webp: https://slidecage.com/wp-content/upload … oup2x.webp. I tried 4x, and 6x to no avail. Likely software and my memory. I know Gigapixel is for low-res images but there's an example of 92.5 Megapixel even though the 35mm doesn't warrant it. Now I MUST restart my computer.

If you read the first post of this thread, you'll see details of the full upscaling process. The Reddit AI upscale is not mine, but the process is the same and has been summarized and fully explained in this thread.

I know, I was just merely saying how impressive it was. Just a play with words.

All those systems are POW proof of work. Which consumes and incredible amount of energy. The majority of blockchains will move to a POS proof of stake system. It removes 99% of the power vs POW. However crypto being used as a steady payment system is a joke. The 'coins' or 'tokens' are basically owned by 1% or 2% of the population. It is leaving everyone else out. It has to be distributed evenly and fairly. Most cryptos are just useless 'stocks' that have little to no use that piggy back on Ethereum and Bitcoin which are dinosaurs. I believe certain proof of work systems will have some type real use in the future.

Thank you very much to Jim_Hall and Slidecage for always being such a good friend to SLIDERS and Slideheads everywhere.

Always grateful.

Thanks ireactions.

Although it's not TV mind you, there's an article on: https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/slide … fi-series/ about the Sliders petition. They have a relatively strong social media presence with 45.K followers on Twitter, 500K on Youtube, and 202K on Facebook.

I think with Tormé talking with executives and the petition, this is our last hope in bringing it back.

All aboard, I think this the last call:

Do you know if they upscaled the CGI on Quantum Leap or was the CGI originally done on film?

I'm still curious about how they did the Quantum Leap blu-ray.

This most recent one is quite impressive.

They look quite similar. Obviously the right is a little better. Seems like it isn't much worth the effort. Perhaps Tracy can at least get them to do a rescan of the 35mm. I mentioned it to him in the chat of the youtube live stream. Maybe that could help the negotiation in some way for the series.

Aaron Crocco interviewed myself, RobFloyd, as well as other Sliders fans. We discuss how the show has impacted us and society.

He actually recalled Matt Hutaff. I don't think he named the website specifically. I put earthprime.com in the chat guess they never saw it.

New Reboot Info https://slidecage.com/when-the-dust-settles/

I've been contemplating in the past about getting a set.

Let us know how the German version compares to Universal. Not really related to Sliders but I've noticed countries outside of the US get blu ray versions before the United States. Never understood that.

Clean Sweep season 2 Episode 9 - Taming the Wild Clutter-bugs
Release Date: 2004-09-18
Paul and Sherilyn Jackson have been married for thirteen years and enjoy pasttimes such as collecting television memorabilia and cooking. Unfortunately, their office and garage have become so cluttered that it's hard for them work, let alone have any fun. The garage is filled with sporting equipment and even a pile of rocks, while the office is overrun with books, papers and boxes. The homeowners set to work on the clutter, where for the most part, they turn out to be the ideal purgers. Although there is some debate with Paul over his piles of television scripts and other memorabilia, the two for the most part seem to understand that things have to change. A conversation with Sherilyn reveals that she just didn't know where to get started, but had a breakthrough and decided to call after seeing an episode of the show on TV. Meanwhile, designer Kelli Ellis sets to work on the redesign of the rooms. The office is given a new bookshelf, a lazy susan, an add-on to the desk, a memo-board an

Please no.

He's going to try to have Tracy on his show again. It doesn't seem like it's signed, seal and delivered but its perhaps the best shot we'll ever have with Tracy at the helm.

The Sliders discussion begins around 1:04:03 https://youtu.be/Qq_iXGXZGdc

The Tracy Tormé interview I mentioned by Cardinal Sin was rescheduled to this Monday 7/12/21 at 8pm EST:

The Youtuber said there were issues on both ends and is going to reschedule.

There's only like 2 million left to be mined out of 21 million. Which really causes another problem imo. Bitcoin has been so unevenly distributed to the world. Essentially 1 -2% of the world has Bitcoins I'm guessing, making the other 99% left out which makes no sense as a currency.

Yeah if a bitcoin millionaire died no one could recover his coins unless you had his password which is a private key/mnemonic seed. It's like having money in the bank but if no one knows your password there's literally nothing no one can do to recover it. Which tends to cause another problem with custody. How many people nowadays can responsibly take control of their own money. I'd say there's few. Everyone is always 'losing' paperwork or forgetting their password. However I think banks are slowly trying to integrate custody of cryptocurrency for customers, which is essentially an oxymoron to the concept of Bitcoin and decentralization.

Well the stream never went live with Tracy. It's not like this Youtuber has only done a couple of interviews either. If anything changes I'll try to remember to update here.

Bitcoin is a great idea but some people think it will be used for money in the future and it almost certainly will not. Gold equivalent perhaps. The transaction speeds are so slow and the fees to create a transaction are too high. It some cases it's the current software developers fault in another case it was technically flawed to begin with. It uses POW Proof of Work aka mining, all the while there are faster and more energy efficient systems emerging called POS Proof of Stake.

I asked all my followers on twitter to join the chat. We'll see how it goes.

Tracy Tormé is live tonight 7/5/21 on Youtube with the Cardinal Sin Channel 8:00pm EST:

Thanks JWSlider3. I sent out an update to everyone who has signed the petition. I linked the forum. Sounds like promising stuff, and as ireactions says at least Tracy still cares about the show.

Jerry joined in on the #SlidersRewatch the other night. He tweeted a few times about Sliders and mentioned the wormhole scenes where they used a circular light and called it pizza pie. https://twitter.com/MrJerryOC/status/976981606358396928. By the way the #BringBackSliders petition is still going and Jerry supports the cause. It has a bit over 1,500 signatures. slidecage.com/change.

Isn't he signed to play Indy again?

Yes, I believe. So can we assume they kill his character off? Steven Spielberg has a lot prove after they pasted in Shia LaBeouf swinging through trees.

I use this book on a daily basis. It's got me covered. When I'm in a pinch I whip it out to prove season 3 is the best season there is. If I don't have time to watch an episode, no problem. I can read each episode synopsis in about 2 minutes. Certainly worth the full retail $19.95 Canadian doughlars. Its a great compliment to my Limited Edition $139.99 Complete Series collector set.

Thought I'd give a heads up, IMDB is jumping ship like SyFy.

IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. As part of our ongoing effort to continually evaluate and enhance the customer experience on IMDb, we have decided to disable IMDb's message boards on February 20, 2017. This includes the Private Message system. After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide. The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic.

Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the filming on this latest episode about Jesse James. It looks movie quality. Don't know about anyone else but I was surprised Abigail done the shooting this time around instead of Wyatt. The Lone Ranger idea was somewhat lame, since to my knowledge its a fictional character. The racial tones seem unnecessary too about Rufus calling the currently portrayed Lone Ranger a "white dick".

It's a decent show so far but I still wonder how long they can drag it out with running after Flynn. In many ways it's like the Sliders running after Rickman minus the brain juice.

Yeah every release looks the same except the Mill Creek release from this year. I have a side by side screenshot comparison of the Mill Creek release vs the Dual Dimension set. You can see that here (middle of the review) http://slidecage.com/dvd/series/. Even the 2014 complete set looks just as good as the dual dimension set too.

At this point nothing short of a coup, or intervention from God will save America from Hillary and the globalists. Secession should even be an option.

Snagged it on eBay a while back. The DVD packaging is pretty sad, well the video quality is too.
