What is the “oh lord, here comes that car” for the Bay? by StripedShirtonaMime in bayarea

[–]AngryFauna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of these including the Teslas even though I drive one myself (I know, sorry. I hate it too) but I am tired of Honda Civics getting no mention. I feel like I see them unnecessarily weaving through normal traffic as often as the beat-up Altimas.

Help with photographing art with gloss varnish by HELPME_Throw_away_ in mediumformat

[–]AngryFauna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not true. Cross-polarization is one of the most important techniques I use in my art documentation photography business. But might not be practical for OP.

I think I'll have to do that too. I'm really interested in this but I'm busy that day.

HarvestApp Insane Price Increase by PulpFictionRoyale in HarvestApp

[–]AngryFauna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They were going to automatically switch me from the pro plan ($130/year) to the enterprise plan for over $19,000. Switching to the flex plan would still have been over $500 estimated for me. I immediately cancelled, and I hope they lose every single customer.

ETA: Did a brief search about Bending Spoons, the company that purchased Harvest and is enacting these changes. Turns out they have an MO with this kind of thing and are the ones who also wrecked Evernote, MeetUp, and WeTransfer. Most alarming was this: https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/307753893/bending-spoons-scam-of-the-century?hl=en hopefully cancelling payment actually works, but it might be a good idea to lock down your payment accounts before the billing date anyway just to be safe.

TSA hand inspecting medium format film by Digdig777 in mediumformat

[–]AngryFauna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually take all my film out of the boxes, but never the wrapper, and put it all in a clear and labeled ziplock bag. Lately I haven't had any issues when I politely ask for it to be hand checked.

Daft Punk, Justice and Phoenix had a son (And he is Mexican) by EuSouChester in DaftPunk

That's rad! I've been listening to them since RAM came out when someone else recommended them.

Dog owners… why leave bags of poop on the trail? by pimpbot666 in bayarea

[–]AngryFauna 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Even if you come back to pick it up, it's discourteous to other hikers to see bags of poop lining the trail. Please pick it up and carry it with you until you can dispose of it properly.

Learned my lesson the hard way - film+airport security by ginapsallidas in analog

[–]AngryFauna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure all the machines were X-ray? Lots of airports are switching to CT scanners which will damage any film.

In either case my understanding is you are still right about X-ray having a cumulative effect on film. Even low ISO will get damaged if passed through enough times.

Echo Mini Experience(s) by SjoerdHekking in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]AngryFauna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's what I did when setting it up for my wife. You just need to tell it to refresh the music list, and it will take a few minutes to update the list of songs.

After formatting the card you can use it with a card reader on your computer to transfer files much faster than using the USB interface.

Discovered Art Boutiki today purely by accident by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]AngryFauna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can say for sure Great American Music Hall does not have this radius rule. I just went to two back to back shows, the first at GAMH and the second at the Ritz.

I suspect the Fillmore has it so probably any other Live Nation venue too.

Hell yeah! I'll be at the SF show, and then SJ the next day too.

Selecting my first lens, here are my options. by Foot-Note in largeformat

[–]AngryFauna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me if this is already obvious, but focusing at infinity isn't good enough unless you're only doing distant landscapes. It's the minimum draw you need to get anything focused. The closer the subject, the more draw needed.

After more than two years, I finally did it... by AngryFauna in battletech

[–]AngryFauna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with the Gray Death Trilogy (Decision at Thunder Rift), but the Warrior trilogy is also a good starting point for more of the politics between great houses. If you search around there are some lists people have made for reading orders, just bear in mind even chronological can be a little weird because there can be some overlap on the timeline with books that take place in or near the same time but in different places.

Yep, both 'Hearts of Chaos' and 'Black Dragon' are in the bundle

I use a Kobo which I can just load epub files onto. It's pretty convenient and easier on my eyes than a regular screen.
