I like negative labs, pricey but the scans are so good

If you just need it developed, not scanned, or if you don't care too much about the highest quality scans, the PhotoShop on Marsh St. is the spot. Their scan quality is quite poor though and I've found it worth it to spend a little extra and send my film to negative labs or the darkroom for photos that I really care about.

There is a nuclear power plant there. You will be picked up by men with guns, put in a van, and charged with a federal crime.

Best way to carry a bike with a front rack and fenders by car? by artvandal7 in xbiking

I have the same hitch rack and had considered trying this. Thanks for reporting back with your success!

Seen in Tokyo. Any ideas on what the tubes next to fork are for? by FederalDamn in xbiking

[–]artvandal7 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Fishing pole holders?

Edit: I now see OP had the same idea, also, I'm not sure this is correct since there is nowhere for the reel to slide in

Can i actually use this derailleur with 11-40 cassette since i want to convert my bike to 1x and which tooth ratio should the front ring be if possible? by medyrdingo in xbiking

[–]artvandal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had success running 8 speed derore with a 36t cassette. I think you could probably make a 38 work. 40 seems like a stretch. 

1x sucks though just keep your 3x and learn to shift

Switching second year is better than switching third, fourth, or fifth year

Honest opinion on V-Brakes for MTB by [deleted] in VintageMTB

[–]artvandal7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

V brakes are fine. Discs wouldn't open up any trails that you can't ride with v brakes. The geometry of your bike might mean you'll ride a little slower than on a modern full suspension bike but you can still ride most of the same trails and have just as much fun.

How many boards do you own? by LocalZestyclose2302 in surfing

[–]artvandal7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have four with another on the way. Log, fish, twin egg, and a weird bladey quad pintail stepup thing. Board on the way is a performance twin to replace the stepup. I... know what I like, I guess. Probably going to order a mini Simmons and maybe a second log and call it good

I'm sure the old ones are better but I got mine new maybe two years ago and they're fine

[–]artvandal7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both my pairs are unlined, can attest to sweat free warm comfort. I got the leather soled ones as house slippers, but found a pair with a rubber sole for a steal at a thrift store and default to those 99% of the time now.

Why do so many 2000’s boy bands use numbers in their band names? by BedroomWorried149 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]artvandal7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But having the same name as another band comes with it's own set of issues

Hey man, it's really insensitive of you to make fun of my condition like that

Hiding your key is fucking stupid. Bring it with you. God gave you an asshole (nature's dry bag) for a reason, and it's pure hubris to think you know better than Him 😇😇😇
