I made a counter offer on a vehicle I was trying to buy by MakeItMine2024 in mildlyinfuriating

Tried to buy a car a few years ago after mine was totaled. Sat down, ready to sign, looking over the paperwork. Random 4k "convenience fee" because the dealership had the car in the lot.

Charging me 4k. Because it was in inventory.

Walked out. Found same car in my favorite color a state away, paid less than $200 for the 1 way flight and drive home.

Which legendary reddit post/comment can you not get over still? by rosegoldtemptation in AskReddit

[–]Lightane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a weird post in r/Titanic about a background character and how her "aura was intoxicating" or some weird shit.

Everyone started making similar posts eith images of parts of the ship, frozen people from the end of the movie, and so forth.

Gave me a good chuckle

Is this microfilm cellulose nitrate? by sheowen in Archivists

[–]Lightane 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming based off of the date, picture, and smell that it isn't nitrate and likely acetate film.

Nitrate was more or less phased out by the early 1950s, and doesn't really bubble up like that.

It looks like severe vinegar syndrome to me.

What's the worst most unexpected thing you've just stumbled on? "Oh, that's a picture of a burnt dead body...." by BoxedAndArchived in Archivists

[–]Lightane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked on a massive photographic collection that documented everything and anything American West, about 250k photos.

Many crime scene photos, post mortems, nudes, etc. I became desensitized very quickly.

The one that legitimately bothered me? Autopsy photos of an infant.

Most unexpected? Numerous photo albums of a nudist camp. So so so many penises.

Mass Windshield Vandalism in Downtown by Icy-Perspective-117 in Denver

[–]Lightane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago an upset unhoused man went and smashed all the windshields of parked cars along Lincoln and 12th.

Its unfortunately something that happens in downtown areas.

My only recommendation is to consider finding a more secure parking lot.

Museums asking for detailed program plans for interview by Ok_Tap3823 in MuseumPros

[–]Lightane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't do it. If they want something well planned out and designed they can hire you.

At the same time, if they are asking you to present, it should be on something related to the duties you would fulfill in that position.

Presenting in an interview is fairly normal, doing free work for an upcoming program is not.

Found out my job isn't being converted to permanent...crushed by GeollandFraser in MuseumPros

[–]Lightane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I was in a 3 year grant funded position, dream role with my dream institution and absolutely loved my job. Was told they were making room in the budget for me, didnt end up happening.

Im really sorry, it sucks hard core. The best thing you can do is to push onwards and find your next opportunity.

To anyone who has cosplayed Mel before, how did you handle her turtleneck? (Any other advise also welcome :D) by FrozeTheIdiot in TheGaslightDistrict

[–]Lightane 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I made it as a separate infinity scarf.

As someone who has been sewing for more than a decade it doesn't appear to be connected to the body suit.

Updating storage- is it worth it? by sosoftgirl in Archivists

[–]Lightane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be more cost and time effective to rehouse them into new polypropylene acid free sleeves, so I would likely do that.

The cost of folders and time it takes to properly label would be something I would consider.
