You do have a point

One quick hack to make the shareholders happy with how much money you’ve been putting into a failing project: rename a successful one to the failing project’s name.

The more I learn about local flora and fauna the more this hurts

I recently found a berry bush while on a trail of a kind of berry I hadn’t seen in years

It was bitter sweet

I would miss out on all the new experiences that would happen if I wasn’t here lingering like a fart

I’m gonna stick around for as long as I can

Edit: added alt text.

Edit: I swear it’s not my first day on the internet…

I’ve literally seen pants that have what looks like pockets but when you actually check there no actual pockets there. It’s like they cut the hole, made the folds, then stitched them closed.

It blows my mind!

I started with a Lubitel 166b, they can be had pretty cheaply in pretty good condition. I got mine for about $75USD in working condition with OG packaging, manuals, and a carrying case. Though I’d recommend a Lubitel 166 Universal though as they can shoot both 6x6 and 645, which is really cool. (120 film, 12 frames per roll)

My Agfa Synchro Box camera was had for about $60USD and came with a carrying case. It shoots 6x9. (120 film, 8 frames per roll)

My Sputnik Stereo Camera was about $275, said to have been serviced recently, it needs a solid CLA though. Which sucks but ain’t the first time that’s happened. It shoots Stereo 6x6 photos. (120 film, technically 6 shots per roll)

My Graflex Speed Graphic was bought in “For Parts” condition for about $300, and it needed a lot of work on my part to get it working great. But it’s working like a dream now. It had stuck shutters, bend focusing rails, a filthy lens, and so much more. It shoots 4x5 sheet film. (individual 4x5 sheets)

I’d love to go larger but that’s when things go from expensive to nucking futs. Like just the film is like $200 for 25 black and white negatives. And the cameras are even more insane!

If that’s like actually chain links then that thing is really likely to pinch

And NGL that sounds horrifying

Likewise

Good news is that we don’t have to buy it very often at least

NGL finding deodorant that doesn’t smell awful is kinda hard for me. My sense of smell is easily my most sensitive sense which makes a lot of things really overwhelming. (So many new things I buy need to be left to air out for a day or more before I can use them)

Especially if it’s marketed to men. So many men’s products have smells like “Smoke, tobacco, whisky, etc” and I’m just sitting here going “I don’t want to smell like shit, I wanna smell nice”

This one though IMO is one of my favorites, it smells nice and fruity and it’s not over powering. It’s subtle.

And it plays really nicely with my shampoo and body wash.

When I asked them if I could share a picture of their suit they said they’d prefer if I didn’t, so unfortunately I can’t share any pics of it.

They’ve only had it now for a little less than a year so I understand why they’re a bit cagey about sharing pictures of it out of context

I had a setup similar to this for awhile (2 stacked monitors and a vertical one on the side)

It was pretty nice once I had my primary monitor as the bottom one, chat on the vertical one (or code, it varied), and typically music or something playing on the top one. The top monitor was my old gaming monitor with trash color accuracy and viewing angles, the side monitor was a dumpster find (had to fix it) with trash colors and good viewing angles, and the main monitor was a 27in monitor with great colors and great viewing angles.

Now I’ve just got 2 monitors, 1 42in 4k TV with great colors and the dumpster monitor from before (it still works so why replace it lol) both horizontal.

:3 not anymore, I’m citrusy now

The Minox is so damn cute!

The 120 I shoot I typically do either 6x6 or 6x9, 6x6 on my Lubitel 166 and 6x9 on my Agfa box camera (can’t recall the name ATM)

A 6x7 camera is definitely on my to buy list

That’s one I’ve looked at for sure, it’s a nice little camera no doubt!

More options is always good (they can miss me with that gen AI trash though)

I wonder how easy it is to use compared to GIMP or Krita?

(I still suck with Krita but that’s a me thing lol)

The shaft was only a 7.3?!?

Well we know what they’re into…

Magma is stored in the balls I see

That explains a lot

After awhile it’s cozy y’know?

The roar of heavy machinery whirring away for 9+ hours a day, pulsing at thousands of RPM, the calm of solving puzzles in the chaos… it’s peaceful.

The news folks always ask me how I keep my sanity in all the noise and chaos, and it always makes me laugh. It takes a special kind of crazy to do my job for as long as I have and it shows.

Every day loading and unloading trucks with 60 other forklifts all blasting around on a dock with only 130 doors while going 8mph. It rains, you get wet. It snows, you plow through it. It’s 100F outside, it’s 110F on the dock and 120F in the trailers. The sun rises, you get to watch it rise over the snowy mountains. The sun sets, you get to watch it over the water.

It’s not for everyone, but damn can it be right for the right kinda of people.
