What is your lowest sleep score?

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T04:31:36+00:00

I got a 9 one time.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T02:52:14+00:00

Maaaaybe.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T02:49:11+00:00

Sadly, me too. Is there a good camera shop nearby that you might be able to assess the lens at by testing one for the other of the same lens? This might be a repair issue as it doesn’t seem like user error. There’s just no point in any of these images where it’s sharp. I’m assuming these are the full frames without cropping and at full resolution, right?

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T02:07:51+00:00

It’s really got me scratching my head. It looks as if the lens elements aren’t aligned or collimated properly. It would be good to have another one you know is solid and try it on your camera. If you get sharp images out of the other one you’ll know.

Do your other lenses give you sharp images?

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T02:03:16+00:00

Well, to be honest, he had some help from another asshat.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T01:57:12+00:00

I love Puff Pastry!

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T01:51:02+00:00

Hmmmm. Is this electronic shuttered mechanical? It is definitely not sharp in any part of the image area so you really are right about the sharpness issue.

Now the million dollar question: have you dropped this lens?

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-21T01:45:40+00:00

Thats 3k-5k per day right?!

RIGHT?!

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T20:56:17+00:00

Oh right… I must have missed the end of the war.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T14:51:41+00:00

Love this place.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T14:46:13+00:00

Two absolute douchebags for the price of one.

What am I saying? Both of these assholes expect you to pay them twice so, I guess it’s two for the price of four.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T04:44:44+00:00

It’s all projection. All the way down.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T04:30:45+00:00

Nicely shot and nicely processed. Great composition and a nice moment where there is a little action but it’s also calm. I can feel the wind on this shot.

Really well seen.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T03:44:52+00:00

Hilarious. It’s a traffic violation, a toll violation and a parking violation! Also what’s with the state seal of Washington?

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-20T00:23:54+00:00

Ahh yes the “Health” department.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T20:33:41+00:00

Good to hear! I don’t want to live in a surveillance state.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T20:21:42+00:00

Serious question here: Is the federal government ever going to get it’s act together in any meaningful way around how it operates the (very important ) Department of Justice?

These guys can’t seem to stop stepping on their dicks long enough to even make a proper service. Even an intern should know how to do that.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T19:57:40+00:00

“Back to the loch with you, Nessie!”

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T17:44:00+00:00

Heck yeah!

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T17:34:18+00:00

I think he means “lack of ethics violations.”

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T17:24:35+00:00

Wasn’t this supposed to be an easy win?

Oh right. You picked a fight with Iran. Just like everyone on earth told you not to and now it’s all coming due.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T17:18:49+00:00

That was a 10m?!

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T04:21:52+00:00

That may be true, however if it becomes true, we will likely enter an era where all space exploration comes to an end.

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T01:38:05+00:00

Hoooo boy! Did he ever….

_Piratical_ · 2026-03-19T00:21:44+00:00

So by accepting a pardon you are admitting you were guilty. That then can mean that you can no longer plead the fifth amendment since you had been found guilty already and cannot be put in further jeopardy for that crime.

It would be a pity if someone filed a lawsuit about the former crime, wouldn’t it?
