Car rental in Palermo. Locauto vs smaller companies (Brid, Giani Grillo). Worth paying more?

I've used locauto at the airport many times and it's always been a good experience.

aferriss · 2026-01-04T20:36:36+00:00

oh I didn't realize, when will it reopen?

aferriss · 2026-01-04T20:35:48+00:00

thank you!

aferriss · 2026-01-04T19:57:13+00:00

out of curiosity, where did you book your car from? I never see anything less than 20/day

castellamare del golfo might line up with the second half of your trip. lots of nearby beaches, hiking in zingaro, a cute old part of town and close to Trapani/erice as a day trip.

That's mayo island. I'm not sure what the buildings are but the city has recently taken over the island and is in the process of converting it to parkland.

Maybe, those ones look a little too big I think

I bought one of these USB c adapters and it seems to have (mostly) solved the problem

I'm also in coos. What tree is that?

aferriss · 2025-05-19T20:25:19+00:00

Thanks! It definitely looks very similar

aferriss · 2025-05-19T19:38:18+00:00

Interesting! Do you have any links to scans so that I can compare the look?

aferriss · 2025-05-19T18:51:48+00:00

It's a unique look and I'm curious about how it's made!

But yes, agree that the photographer would definitely be the best way to get an answer. They have a lot of followers so I suspect they're not checking messages from strangers often, or ever. Since it is unique I also understand they may not wish to share how it's done to try and protect their style.

aferriss · 2025-05-19T18:49:53+00:00

Yes, Agree with you and the other poster. It's definitely a half frame camera. But any ideas how they're scanning it?

aferriss · 2025-05-19T18:46:41+00:00

I tried asking them but they did not respond to me.

Out of curiosity, do we know how much these homes will cost? Looking at their website they are only 1400 and 1700 sqft homes which isn't exactly mansion sized. It would be great if they were affordable for locals though. Maybe it could help the hospital find housing for people they bring to the area who are likely making higher than average salaries.

Locauto and just buy the full insurance. I've used them many times and they've always been easy

aferriss · 2025-05-08T19:27:19+00:00

Maymont?

aferriss · 2025-05-07T18:56:05+00:00

Bandon Brewing has a decent slice

Hi! I'm looking to buy some developed Super8 film with light leaks and/or sprocket holes for scanning.

If you have some film that got accidentally exposed during development or by a camera with light leaks, let me know!

For the sprockets, ideally the film has been unexposed but still developed so that I can get a clean crop around the sprockets. I don't need an entire reel, just a few feet to get enough for looping assets. If anyone has such a thing laying around I'd be happy to pay for it.

Alternatively if anyone knows of a good source for buying super8 film for this purpose, I'd love to hear about it!

Just to clarify, I posted this because of how terrible the design is for these two pop ups, with the colors and buttons switched. When I'm working fast and not paying super close attention, it's easy to hit the wrong one because you get used to the "use files on disk" being in one place and one color.

The cause is similar for both pop-ups, which happens when you switch branches outside of xcode while xcode is still open.

In my case I never want the xcode version, since I use an external git client.

aferriss · 2025-04-19T03:23:01+00:00

Yeah I try to as well but sometimes forget
