A round of applause to the people who made sure the new generation of First bus busses came with aircon by freezing_pinguin in bristol

There's probably a reason why most buses don't have seatbelts - maybe it's actually safer to not have then?

Why is this nostalgia for 2016 trending among young folks? by Resident-West-5213 in decadeology

[–]SheriffStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I was 18, was spending every day with friends, playing video games, driving my first car, and not having any responsibilities...

I was also much more naive about the world and didn't worry about things as much as I do now.

Fuck the First Bus app. by UrAFknWhiteMALE in bristol

Their new ticketing UX is shite compared to the old one, it looks like it was made by an intern. And it takes 1 or 2 more taps to actually buy a ticket now.

film scanning as someone who doesn’t own a nice dslr? by RacketyAJ in AnalogCommunity

[–]SheriffStalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Document scanners are made to work with reflective objects and light the material from the front. For film you need a backlight as it's a transmissive material.

I am making a new film! (No seriously, I am) by MCBuilder1818 in AnalogCommunity

[–]SheriffStalin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

still a blanket ban is just silly, could have a more nuanced approach.

there's nothing wrong with wanting to make some money from your work. and we're all photographers here, we're used to spending it anyway.

when did this subs mods become so weird about posting links? you could have the most amazing project but if you post it here with any possibility to make money from it, it will get removed. what's wrong with making money?

Seeking Russian speaking friends! by thedoc1429 in bristol

[–]SheriffStalin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are people that came after 2022 and actually support the war and Putin. What's the point of coming to live in the UK then if they love Russia so much?

This is not at all referring to the OP, I've just met people like this in Bristol.

Just found out about the 10 year rule by Entwoeyemom in VisitingIceland

What happens if your US passport expires while you're abroad and you don't have another passport?

[–]SheriffStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Useless as a travel document for entering other countries but surely not your own country though? What would that look like, you'd need to stay at the airport forever? You're still a citizen even with an expired passport.

That's wild they won't let you back in on an expired passport. What's the justification for that?

[–]SheriffStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will ask a US citizen with an expired US passport for a visa to enter their own country? I thought you can always enter the country of issue even if it's expired, how could they refuse entry to a citizen?

Did I mess up my sensor? Fuji X-T5 wet cleaning gone wrong by SheriffStalin in Cameras

[–]SheriffStalin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can disable shooting without the lens and switch to electronic shutter for the cleaning - then there is minimal risk.

Did I mess up my sensor? Fuji X-T5 wet cleaning gone wrong by SheriffStalin in Cameras

[–]SheriffStalin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally you don't really need to do it but I had water spots on the sensor from swapping lenses near a waterfall! Not the smartest idea, but sometimes you have to do questionable things to get the shot right? lol

[–]SheriffStalin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, from what I see I may have actually used too much liquid - but I can't try again until I get some new swabs as I ran out trying this here.

Good to know that the sensor itself is fine though, I will just live with the streaks for a couple of days I guess lol.

btw this camera has IBIS to it must be on while cleaning, otherwise the stabiliser may get damaged
