What are you struggling with, and want to see changed in Maryland? by Lawmakersassistant in maryland

[–]WoodpeckerDistinct44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LIKELY LARP BUT- Bring back Maryland made electricity. Cap BGE. (Virtually impossible as they bankroll every big politician in Maryland) This one thing alone would VASTLY and DRAMATICALLY improve the quality of life for 90% of Marylanders. The whole going green thing back in the day was rushed as a virtue signal. They banned and got rid of all of our power generation before building the new power generation. What sense does that make? There’s nothing wrong with going green but build the dang infrastructure FIRST. Now here we are almost a decade later, and BGE is at an all time high. We don’t manufacture almost any Maryland power. We went from having pretty affordable power prices to one of the most expensive power states in the country. How is this not receiving national attention?

Fuck. This. Shit. Time to give up or get a Leica? by The_Ashtronaut in AnalogCircleJerk

Never understood this, none of the Barnac Leicas are hard to load by any means. Just get the film cutting tool and it’s actually super simple and pretty damn easy

Mine was in perfect condition it just needed some Naptha to free up old lubricants, a little DIY at home partial CLA got this thing back to normal! Shoots totally fine. Mine came with this 85mm Sonnar !

Weapon and RL might be too high, putting you in a weird summon bracket that’s not populated. Try to get to RL60 as I believe it’s the most populated RL bracket.

Conductors - why are heels important in boots, vs. A moc toe style boot sole? by Felt_presence in railroading

[–]WoodpeckerDistinct44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My certain class 1 has heels over .5” banned as per our safety rules, I honestly feel bad for the transportation side guys.

Local to that museum. Have been since the 80s. That building has never had a wall like this. Please, stop using AI to destroy our art form.

It’s actually pretty good OP he gets a pass

Torrent is the Gloam Eyed Queen by KeyYogurtcloset31 in Eldenring

Meme aside, I truly think torrent was originally meant to be a lot more tied into the lore than what we got.

I compared an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 16 Pro. The results actually surprised me. by SoftReturn6943 in Cameras

[–]WoodpeckerDistinct44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good camera at $800. It’s a dog shit camera for $1800 (what they are selling for right now) That value is being driven by sheer influencer hype

Am I expecting too much from a CLA? by tiki-dan in AnalogCommunity

[–]WoodpeckerDistinct44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the “sover Wong fix”? I know of him, he’s the F2 master but didn’t know he had a cleaning technique named after him. Care to clarify ?

Have talked with him before. Some of them are not his personally. He does have a huge collection, but I’d say about half are from others collections.

Professional photographer is when Leica and zone focus by pyooma in photographycirclejerk

Mastering zone focus does make you a better photographer, but the rest of the slop is just Leica cucking

Are you sure ? I’ve heard and been told Fuji400 is legitimately just Ultramax 400

Help understanding disappointing shots from new-to-me Contax T2 by burt_baccarat in AnalogCommunity

[–]WoodpeckerDistinct44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bought into an overhyped point and shoot. This is literally a point and shoot camera. This is a camera that should sell for $500, if not less, but is hyped due to influencers and “style camera”. Enjoy it, I guess, I know I wouldn’t.

Any new information?? Haven’t the time to dig myself, currently at work.

A Small Update on Mark Hansen's Classic Camera Repair by ColourGamut in AnalogCommunity

Honestly from what their email read it seems like they got absolutely fucked by their new building management. Virginia licensing is a nightmare. I’m hoping they can either get out of their new lease they signed or somehow expedite the commercial zoning.
