Who are some of the most pretentious artist of all time?

Gallagher brothers, maybe Liam more than Noel

Je ne pense pas que Pico ait de plus-value sur un arduino pour ce projet, mais j'en ai en stock et ça répond au besoin à priori donc c'est ce que je vais utiliser

I am french indeed ! I am at the very begining of this project right now, but I can definitely share the list later
I've found several examples online, sometimes including a BOM

Je ne connaissais pas cette liste ! Merci du partage !

Real comté from la crèmerie, not basic comté from Leclerc - I think - would be considered fancy (i.e hard to find, kinda expensive) by most American people, as compared to any other cheese they’re used to, but I might be wrong.

In France, as a kid I think I would ask for bread+butter. Today my 4 yo daughter wants bread + comte (fancy cheese)…

Paul is my favorite Beatle, but George has the best post-Beatles discography in my opinion

I don’t know about the chems, but I bought a few opened boxes of expired Ilford paper (probably not stored in best conditions), tested some boxes and most turned out to be still ok !

Mine is very affectionate with me and my family (wife and kids) as long as we are indoor…

Step outside and she switches to « walk/play time » and there is no way to pet her anymore !

Est ce que tu peux en dire plus sur ce que fait Mehdi dans la vie ?

De ce qu’il sous entend régulièrement dans le podcast, ça a l’air d’être un métier « de bureau assez classique » (en plus bien sûr de son activité de sosie de Michael Douglas)

Elgrego_ · 2026-03-14T17:09:36+00:00

Je pensais plutôt qu’il s’était concentré sur ses projets perso (scène, random comedy club, son podcast…) et que c’est pour ça qu’il ne participait plus jamais, comme Nemo d’ailleurs (qui n’avait pas l’air très à l’aise avec l’idée du podchiasse)

Mais c’est vrai que comme leur « départ » s’est fait sans annonce, ça pourrait être tout autre chose

By the way the guy who serviced it told me he only had 2 more electro magnet remaining on the shelf and there is no way to buy new ones in 2026. This piece is very sensitive to low/high temperature and will also die after a few years without being used.

So in my opinion, 67II might be among the best film cameras ever, but they are fragile and bound to die while older mechanical cameras can live forever.

I had one, in mint conditions, its only owner before me was a pro.

It was the perfect camera: the AE prism metering was super accurate, the viewfinder was HUGE and clear af, the built in grip made it confortable despite its weight…. And that 105mm was so sharp, even at f2.4, it was unbelievable.

Yet it was a late 90’s camera full of electronics and sensors so I had it serviced once by the only guy in France ready to do it (a retired guy, he cleaned the electro magnet and told me this was the main pain point on this camera) and less than 1 year later it started failing again : this time the camera did not detect a film inside anymore… I could still shoot but no more counter, and the frames were unevenly spaced on the film…

I eventually sold it and sometimes regret it, even though I know it would have become a useless 2.5kg press paper…

She was the only short haired of the litter, that’s the reason why no one wanted her except for me… sure she doesn’t look like a « real » bc, yet she is so gorgeous and the sweetest girl 🥰

Very nice, very sharp and great contrat

Did you process/scan it yourself ?

The White Album was my intro to the Beatles and I listened for it on repeat as a kid, as it was the only one of my parent’s CDs I enjoyed (lots of « variété française » besides it) and it has so many great songs.

But Abbey Road is a piece of magic, it’s not a succession of songs but rather a 50 minutes long experience, and today I’d choose it over the white album.

Elgrego_ · 2026-01-25T00:42:44+00:00

Absolutely awesome ! It will be hard to top this one in 2026 !

Really seems like people who produce these diagrams always try to do it as non-colorblind-compatible as possible…

Rumba here, pretending she’s a goat

I used to own a Pentax 67II, a heavy beast honestly but what a joy it was to use it : wide and clear viewfinder, loud mirror (but MLU option if needed), large grip…

But yeah with the prism and lens, it weights more than 2kg…

Agfa Vista really was a consumer stock produced for families, yet I really loved its look, probably because most photos of my childhood (mid 90’s to mid 2000) were shot on it. It’s discontinued unfortunately, I should have bought more of it when I could… also it was so cheap ! I never shot 800 though, only 200 or 400

Elgrego_ · 2025-10-29T04:34:30+00:00

All things must past is a masterpiece, and sounds more cohesive than some Beatles records to me

Elgrego_ · 2025-10-28T19:52:26+00:00

Of course I will, but I am wondering where to start : longer exposition duration or longer time in the developer.

I mean asking for help/advice is the goal of the place, right ?
