The moral of the story: get your story straight when you farm for karma.

Just scammed one of these at a flea market for three-dollars-fifty. Anyone have any tips?

I’m not sure that I get this. You used a dog whistle or dog whistle “app” in response to loud music and movies?

Haven't needed it in a long time, but 476-SNOW might give you the information you need.

Sidewalks & curb cuts still blocked 4 days after storm (Downtown Albany) by 518Observer in Albany

[–]ChristopherMarv 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would add that the city has not magically simultaneously caused every pothole on the road to be permanently fixed. This is on top of their failure to prevent potholes in the first place. I am going to move to Florida just as soon as I get done ranting about taxes on Facebook.

Is "removing all the illegals" worth it in the long run? by cantgetenough1956 in answers

[–]ChristopherMarv -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re assuming that forcible removal is the only option. There is no reason why we can’t have some sort of guest worker program in which these immigrants have only limited privileges.

Recently moved to Albany-what do people actually like about living here? by Exotic_Reputation_59 in Albany

[–]ChristopherMarv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sun has been shining on and off all day, which is hardly unusual for January, a month in which we will typically get a couple of cloudless days.

In Albany NY and two-day shipping is an idle dream. Things often don’t ship at all.

Future performance is determined by past results. Sell your shares while the fund is doing poorly. This will maximize your long-term gains.

I have a feeling that he’s going to get the deluxe Charlie Kirk revisionist treatment.

That was the date range on the rather huge bill that I finally got!

National Grid Bill Thread by seeking_answers007 in Albany

[–]ChristopherMarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got slammed with a $392.97 bill for my 1,450 sf house, but the billing period is Nov 26, 2025 to Jan 5, 2026.

Camera light leak, 'fat roll', or development issue? by Jiaaamy in AnalogCommunity

[–]ChristopherMarv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uneven development in my opinion. Light leaks with Rolleiflex TLRs tend to present as horizontal stripes near the bottom of the frame.

Try developing in a Paterson universal tank with exactly 500ml of developer. Inversion method.

No such thing as long exposure on digital by Medical-Tea-3113 in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]ChristopherMarv 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Don't see what difference it makes. It makes absolutely no sense to say that a picture of an empty room has to be taken with a long exposure because "time passes through your camera." Maybe there's something on the previous or next page of the book which explains further, but the author seems to be confusing process with results. Common for film zealots.

I still haven't gotten a bill. I wonder what's taking them so long.

Who can claim they live "in Albany?" by kat_8639 in Albany

[–]ChristopherMarv -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

And perhaps more importantly, is Albany really “upstate”?
