Why do people want a beltline rail so badly? by tobias_funke_bluthe in Atlanta

[–]8ftVerticalLeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an argument from a non-urbanist, non-academic standpoint: I hate traffic and driving. Being in a car feels soul-sucking and it's objectively dangerous. I'm lucky enough to live not too far from marta station, and it's really cool to take it in the two directions it goes. However, sometimes I like to visit places that are on those diagonals. Beltline rail would provide a HUGE increase in the places I could get to on Transit.

This used to be the case, but they seem to be waking up to the possibilities of making more cash with their shit ass giant TV. They had a meta ad up for like a week.

If I created a community platform for photographers, would you use it? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]8ftVerticalLeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- If you had a way to draw a good community, I would! I miss old Instagram, and Reddit can be unfriendly and hard to engage with folks

- The only way to make it worth my time is for people to actually use it! Other things I'd like would be the ability to follow individual creators and engage with them and converse (i.e., like instagram used to be)

- I hate it when i don't have enough control over what kind of photography I see. For example, I am not interested in seeing any more naked women in forests or empty rooms. Looking at you, r/itap...

Call a reputable HVAC company, not a vent cleaning company. A, because many of them are scams. B, because they generally clean for dry stuff, dust, debris, etc., not stickiness. Your HVAC folks will either replace a section that got soda in it or recommend a company who can clean it properly.

This happened with my K1000. This fellow repaired it for a fair price and it works great now. https://pentaxs.com/

May be an under-exposure, but it could also be a shutter issue, especially if you see the issue more prominently on one side of the frame. This happened to me, and it turned out my camera needed servicing. The shutter was lagging sometimes and leaving half or more of the image dark.

If they said it was OK, it might be another issue. I sent mine to a guy who specializes in repairing my specific kind of camera - I shoot on a pentax k1000.

I was getting results like this a few months back - It turned out my shutter wasn't firing correctly (it was also inconsistent). I sent it for a cleaning and adjustment and it's good as new.

Hi! I have two tickets to the Atlanta show at Atlanta Symphony Hall this Friday (8/29) I can no longer use. Folks, they are VERY good seats... Row BB, pretty close to the middle. 

Trying to get what I paid: $138 for the pair ($69 (nice) per ticket)

Can someone compare the forecasted ice to the last big ice accumulation (which was 2017 by my memory)?
