You do have a point

I’ve had multiple of my normie friends ask me about linux in the last few months and I even got 2 to switch over. Which blew my mind I got them to.

I think my favorite comment I’ve heard from them since switching is how much it just gets out of their way. It’s there and does the thing and is only there as much as it needs to be.

Medium format is really fun to shoot too! I’ve also got a Lubitel 166b (also a TLR, and a HELLA cheap camera) that I snagged awhile ago and it needed a lot of work too.

The artifacts around the edges of the image here I think might either be some light leaks I still need to fix or from my bodged scanning.

I develop my black and white film myself as it’s WAY cheaper to do it myself, I’m planning to start doing cyanotype prints soon as I think that would be really cool too.

Fixing larger older cameras is really fun IMO, it’s complicated for sure but they’re WAY more simple than newer cameras.

I’ve got 1 more from that trip out there, with large format it’s pretty tough to get a bunch of shots.

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.

Instructions unclear, I’ve gone big

Creature?

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

Way ahead of you on this, I’ve been doing this for years!

And who can for get the classic of napping in the shade of a tree on a nice warm summer day.

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

I’d love to buy a home

I just can’t do it any time soon due to ballooning prices where I currently live

Holy crap the map is 62,000 x 62,000 x 62,000?!?

Alright I’m gonna have to give this a try, I always felt the maps in Minecraft weren’t nearly deep enough.

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
