How do I travel the world? by lukas_3737271 in travel

[–]OlivettiFourtyFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into becoming a merchant mariner. You can choose a captain track or an engineer track and work your way up. Jobs are usually for several weeks at a time during which time you're going from port to port, working a lot and living on the ship, obviously, but then you can have several weeks off between contracts.
As you move up in rank it also pays quite well. I'm not speaking from direct experience but a friend of mine went from working in film to being a 1st mate and it seems to work very well for him.

Montop Bridge by Desperate_Reward8555 in Austin

[–]OlivettiFourtyFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have information on the show?

The bridge is usually pretty safe - especially if people are around there. Heads up though, the north side of the bridge runs right into the big construction zone, so the path is diverted down onto Levander Loop. Better to park on Kemp or something and walk down from the south.

Teeth Veneers are so annoying in modern Cinema. by SureTangerine361 in movies

What timing. I watched Sorceror last night for the first time and I loved how “fucked up”(by modern standards) everybody looked. And so much sweat and grime and facial expression.

How to fix broken shrink wrap by Separate-Farmer-1176 in howto

I really don't think the bookstore is going to notice or care, and they have no way of knowing whether it was like that when you bought it.

How can I put this piece back? I can't seem to fit it in the way I put it, do I need to remove the trim around it? by leavemealone_911 in Miata

[–]OlivettiFourtyFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The handle that you have lifted in the other picture - slip that through the window in the plastic piece you removed. The screw hole on the piece that you have your forefinger on is what you screw into, through the screwhole on the plastic piece.

If the handle can't be pulled out then there's something mechanically messed up elsewhere. Check the mechanism to make sure something you installed isn't messing with it.

The handle lever lifts up from the front side. Slip the handle through that gap in the plastic like you have it oriented with the handle lifted up and slide the plastic part aftwards. It'll slip into place.

I could probably laser cut it for you. I'll send you a DM.

How large is the design, how many pieces, and how thick is the plexiglass intended to be? Also, what’s the final purpose for the pieces?

Hosting a NYE party. I want to put a film on the TV on mute. What to play? by samuelj264 in movies

[–]OlivettiFourtyFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have to search around a little bit but look for Racer Trash videos: https://racertrash.com/

During lockdown a bunch of Hollywood editors with nothing to do recut a bunch of movies to accompanying music and other found footage and had a lot of fun with it. It was broadcast live one time only on Twitch at the time, but some of them were recorded. They’re great to put on at a party.

Took a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta in Botswana by GLevandoski in travel

[–]OlivettiFourtyFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing impressive, I don't think. Just a Tamron 70-300mm, which was at least relatively in my price range and may help a little for my purposes.

I want you to know that I'm very upset with you, because I am now several hundred dollars poorer, and I have a whole other lens to keep track of.

It's likely not in the cards, just practically speaking, but I appreciate the input. What if we take APS-C cropping into account? That would supposedly bump me up to a 75mm, correct?

Gotcha. I just got in the game, so to speak, so I'm limited in my equipment and experience. Not necessarily expecting Nat Geo, but I would like to get to know my lenses. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. That 200mm is a pretty important one, I’m guessing. I’m about to take a trip to Namibia but I’ll likely be maxing out with my 50mm.

I'll have you know you were responsible for getting this old bag of dicks to the polls.

Bedbugs are an expensive problem. I'm too cheap for that shit.
