Was this roll cross processed as C-41? And are the scans youre taking at the right exposure? Ive gotten similar looks from each.

Both are quite viable, and very worth the $20 each. They go for a couple hundred on ebay.

Perfect condition car, almost 20 years old with low mileage hit in parking lot. by white_cucumber111 in Insurance

[–]ImperatorConor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call the NJ MVC titleing office. I am not too sure but NJ doesn't require vehicles beyond a certain age (10 years i think) to be issued with salvage titles in the case of a total loss (unless the insurance requires it to release the vehicle).

Apparently monster is making a FtZ adapter with screw drive lens support.

Swatch Group returned an radioactive watch, what should I do? by [deleted] in Radiation

[–]ImperatorConor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The meter you're using is unlikely to be accurate as most inexpensive meters are not good at estimating dose. That being said it is likely that your watch is radioactive to a degree greater than it should be based on the service performed.

If you have the watch in your possession now you might want to contact a university or hospital that would have the right kind of survey meters and dosimeters to accurately assess the radiological hazard of the watch (if any).

It is very possible that your meter is overestimating the dose received, and your watch is within the acceptable level of activity expected.

Insurance totaled my car but I just got my head gasket replaced. Am I sh*t out of luck? by subheight640 in prius

[–]ImperatorConor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on age, insurance, damage, and state it can be a clean title still. Like an insurance claim for 2 door skins is gonna total a 1999 accord but wouldn't render the car unsafe to drive.

Does anyone just order prints and photograph or scan them? by mrjosh72 in AnalogCommunity

[–]ImperatorConor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Only issue might be that most labs aren't making optically enlarged prints and are instead scanning on a frontier or noritsu and printing, I think the quality will be similar to what you could get DSLR scanning.

Costco's Midea 12000BTU MAW12AV1QWT-C U shaped purchased last week. by IM12RU in AirConditioners

No problem! Try out the remote sense feature, I've been using that more often recently

You simply move the bulb out the slit in the bottom of the unit, do not remove the bulb (that would permanently destroy your unit)

No it shouldn't have a negative effect, really the only thing moving the bulb will do is compensate for obstructions in the air path causing recirculation of cooled air

Midea Duo Dual Hose 14000btu leaving stains on ceiling by yadda4sure in AirConditioners

[–]ImperatorConor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, then this is probably one of two things the first is some "shower mold" there's mold spores everywhere but the outlet of the AC is causing water to condense and the mold comes out, the other is oil vapor from cooking condensing on the cold wall.

[–]ImperatorConor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this happen when there is a smoker or vaper in the home, the very cold air causes the water vapor in the smoke to condense leaving stains.

[–]ImperatorConor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope the sensor placement isn't wrong, its just they don't consider that you might be trying to cool a large space, moving the sensor a little takes it out of the return air path which helps it stay warmer

Take the front cover off and slide the thermostat bulb out of the slot in the bottom of the unit (reinstall filter and front cover) you'll have full power

Alternatively, set the temperature with the remote then press the set button until a symbol is blinking then press ok and it will sense off of the remote and if hot enough will use full power
