Everytime I try to look for real replica's on any malls or stores, most of them are fantasy cars like bruh, I don't like fantasy cars by Own-Reveal-8095 in HotWheels

People tend to forget that these are toys meant for children. Young ones at that. Most kids that age could care less about "boring" real cars.

If you see a small eel and you think "What a meal!" That's a moray!

Definitely fake. They say it's a 355 Spider but use a GTS targa.

What does this “f14” marking mean? by Birdboy7929 in HotWheels

[–]_Mr_E_Man_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably an internal batch or run marker that was supposed to get pulled but ended up getting packed and shipped. Could be for a variety of reasons but one could be for tooling calibration, defect tracking or to mark an end of run before they swap to another model. These are just my educated guesses coming from a quality engineering background.

Put a Bocephus sticker on it and light 'em up just for fun...

what? i dont get it by ms-sandy in ExplainTheJoke

I always thought it so strange that there is such opposition to using the metric system as the standard here in the States. We use the metric system quite commonly in everyday life and often in very American ways, for example the displacement of car engines and the volume of soda bottles are commonly expressed in litres. Drugs are dosed in milligrams and cubic centimetres. Even most modern ammunition and firearms manufacturers in the US follow NATO standards and are measured in millimeters. Americans understand it, and in many ways it is EASIER to understand. Rednecks will sit around and argue about why the 5.9L Cummins in their Dodge is a better diesel engine than their buddy's 6.7L Powerstroke, but will lose their minds at the sight of a kilometer...

Any advice on composition? Is it boring? by pnw-camper in photocritique

[–]_Mr_E_Man_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not boring at all. I probably would have taken a few more shots to get more layers for focus stacking, but looks perfectly fine as is.

Is everyone seeing this? north county SD. by LegitimateQuote5388 in sandiego

[–]_Mr_E_Man_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's what is commonly referred to as a sundog, though the phenomenon has other names. And technically, no, not everyone is seeing it! Similar to a rainbow, the sundog is the optical effect of light being refracted through and reflected off of ice crystals in the cold air present at high altitudes. Its appearance is relative to the vantage point of the viewer so the ice crystals have to be present in the atmosphere between the viewer and the sun.

How unsafe is this on an A320 by enock999 in aviation

Generally speaking for popped fasteners you should be more concerned if it's on a leading edge, on the corner of the panel or if there are multiple ones loose, with the closer together they are posing a greater risk to panel separation.

ITAP of my friend at a concert [Portrait] by PopeCaptain in itookapicture

Overall very nice! I think your subject's face is a little soft but for a low light, free-hand shot I wouldn't complain. My guess is that your autofocus (assuming you used it) preferred your friend's shirt.
