It feels so much to be open with yourself to the world!

I feel you on that man, every time I’ve had to work under my first gen CRV (it’s a 2000 model year, made at he end of 1999) it’s turned into a weekend project.

Rear sway bar links? 3 days. Trailing arm and rear control arm bushings? 2 days. Sway bar bushings? 2 days AND ended up swapping out the rear cross beam because of how fucked it became during the whole shitshow (the latest project with it).

Under the hood? At most an afternoon.

The last time I pulled a dashboard out it took a week to get it back to as functional as it was when I pulled it out. At that point I was just happy to be done with it lol

I’m not sure what SSTV is but basically you import the image as a raw data file into Audacity then add audio effects.

Here’s a tutorial on how to do it.

You can get some really interesting effects doing it!

EDIT: And yeah the link is to a really odd place (A Minecraft forum?) but when I first heard of the process that’s the link someone sent me so I’m gonna pass it on. Though I should make sure that that link is mirrored somewhere…

That’s typically what I do, until it gets annoying (ain’t my first P0420 code lol)

This one though I’m probably gonna fix once it stops raining sideways here

Upon looking closer the shipping cost is the same (The 2 models they have that I mentioned elsewhere in this thread are only different by ~$0.50 in terms of shipping)

With this seller though they offer local pickup so I typically do that with them so not only do I save on shipping, I get some much needed exercise lol

I’ve bought a lot of stuff from them over the years, they’re great

Old, low end, and also the touch screen isn’t working on it.

The seller has one with a working touchscreen for about $100USD more, but I’m gonna hold off for now on buying it. (My car turned on the “hungry for money” light this morning and it’s saying “P0420 not blazing bro”)

I can’t not sing the phrase “Dare to be Stupid”

Always brings me joy lol

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 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!
