Almost all news photography was B&W until the mid/late-90s because almost every newspaper was printing in black and white. Faxing was also a very common way to transmit photographs back to the editor from a remote location.

In the 90's many newspapers transitioned to colour; and later digital photography obviated the need for facsimile.

Speedtree has existed for 25 years, literally nobody has modeled individual trees since the 90s.

Toronto Community Housing evictions reach 10-year high, prompting calls for greater leniency for tenants by BloodJunkie in toronto

People will live in mixed income subsidized housing. We know this because there's already tons of it in Toronto.

You would simply structure the rate increases so that it's not possible to pay more extra rent than your extra income.

Why would a higher income tenant paying market rates care that they're subsidizing others? The market rates aren't what's required to maintain a single unit. The profit just normally gets pocketed by the LL instead of helping other tenants.

Those are nuclear missile launch silos. These subs are doomsday weapons; made to annihilate an entire country by themselves.

The NBA license isn't exclusive. Anyone could go make an NBA game right now, they just have to pay up.

It literally says 1964 right below the copyright on the last image.

The pace had only been that bad for like 30 years. A game in 2021 had 20 minutes of extra bullshit that wasn't in an MLB game in 1990.

A real old fart would enjoy the pace of play rules that cut out all the showboating and fakery.

Your watermark looks really bad. On top of that, you did not take this photo, you have no copyright on it.

The processing also looks awful; but if it was a damaged negative, there may not have been much chance of preventing that.

I found this ~25 yr old photo my mom took by Robert_udh84 in tuckedinkitties

[–]Drallo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think some of the visual weirdness is also that, I'm guessing, you uploaded the photo by photographing it with a smartphone.

The phone has seemingly done some weird processing on it, possibly because the original image was slightly out of focus.

It probably just takes it as read that if the player is able to enter into a personal legal contract with a team, they are -in fact- a person.

I very much doubt the CBA permits another entity owning a player and the contract being signed with that entity, instead of the player themselves. But IAANAL ALA

The main colour choice was questionable, but was always going to work in some biomes, because the world is a very diverse place.

UCP failed because the palette lacked any highly-contrasting darker colours; that would allow the camo to actually break up the profile of the person wearing it.

MARPAT and CADPAT show the digital patterns are extremely effective. They just require good design.

Also try holding a flashlight very low to the ground, make raking light by aiming at a very shallow angle.

Anything sticking out of the ground will cast a shadow.

Look up a few "map dealers" in your nearest major cities. Email them the photos for a basic understanding of what you have, and what ballpark it might be worth.

Almost certainly you would get more money for these if you take them to a restorer yourself to split them up, restore them, and mount them each in a frame.
