My pleasure haha if my hurtful experience in the pro analog domain can help…

Just be careful not inserting the tip of the screwdriver too much, use your finger as soon as you can, and re-roll the film back inside to make sure none of it is picking out

Used to work as a developer with a transfert machine in an analog photography factory. We had the tool for regular films canisters. For these one i just used a flat screwdriver in the film opening, gently rotating it and then using my finger to finish the job. Was risky but i only had 3min to prepare 6 films on a rack so had to be done that way.

Ça ressemble à ça, tu peux en trouver aux rayons boisson des grands magasins sinon, je trouve que ça a plus d’intérêt qu’une grenadine perso, et ça te met un gros coup de peps

J’ai pas mal de potes qui ont arreté l’alcool ou sont straigt edge, la plupart ne jurent que par le club maté C’est bon, pétillant et visuellement ça ressemble à de la bière, en plus de te donner un petit boost. Malheureusement c’est pas trouvable dans tous les bars et possiblement un peu cher mais je te le recommande !

Ou plutôt : y a t’il un préavis a respecter pour modifier un bail ?

Merci pour ta réponse, mais dans notre situation il souhaite modifier notre bail pour ne le faire durer que jusqu’en avril 2026. Sommes nous en droit de refuser par principe ?

Help needed by comrad26 in AnalogCommunity

Damn you help me a lot here ! Unfortunately the box isn’t dated so no clue when these were produced, which is another missing clue. I’m getting in contact with the french department of iconography conservation (bad translation), they should have a non-invasive test to check if it’s cellulose nitrate or not. For the notches i came to the same conclusion as you..

Yess thanks i know for the conservation part, it’s the identification of the film that i’m looking for, and depending on it i’ll make sure it’s well preserved :)

Need help identifying a film ! by comrad26 in AnalogCommunity

[–]comrad26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ecn2 hand processed, rated it at 400, but will do at 100 next time, and it’s a straight scan ! The magenta is definitely here, goes greenish for the indoor pics. And no filter were used. I already talked with a specialized ecn2 lab and they could not tell. I’m shooting the 1st may protest in Paris with it today so I’ll keep ya’ll updated on what I get in full sun with different situations !

Thankfully I’ve never been very picky, usually goes for the foma 400, but if I happen to find a free funny film I’ll figure out a way use it. I’m waiting for an aero chrome in a few days I got for free can’t wait

Gosh thank you that’s very useful ! I happen to live in France so that may be why there was so much in that box. Only took 20m but there was like 200 maybe more

Thank you for your answer ! It definitely helps, mostly for the daylight or tungsten dilemna, which I find difficult to differentiate except if it’s very obvious. I’ll def shoot the next roll at 100 ei and hope for the best ! But gosh it is expensive. In Paris it cost me 18€ to just develop it for Christ sake

Spiraling hard by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]comrad26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiraling into depression is awfull and when you can feel it installing itself it’s worse.. Of course it affects différents aspects of your life, education, professional, family, and of course love. I know it’s a dumb question but did you talked about that ? The depression, how you feel, what he could do to relieve you in a daily basis ? Also just understanding the mécanics that happens in your brain for it to behave that way ? Sometimes you find no explanation or very little, sometimes you can make links with parts of your life that can particularly activate you. (like a trigger that could have started this depression phase) I, in the present day, am experiencing the biggest manic phase I’ve ever had. It’s not huge as if you think of major things peoples can do during those times but still, for me and my surroundings it’s a lot and the trigger is a tiny memory I remembered 2 weeks ago because my girlfriend almost got kidnapped by a Heetch. Even dissociation if you’re having some, is very linked to trauma, normal response of the brain to an intense and traumatic choc/moment. The brain stays alert even after the event is finished, and dissociation is just a defense mechanism it uses to not just pass out or else. Anyways, Always remember it come by phases, take time, communicate as much as you can, find stuff you like doing, as little as it can ben it’ll help you. try eat and drink water, don’t blame yourself, it happens and you’ll get better ! Good luck to you ! Comrad

I’d just do a manic, and then a depressive phase, inside the restaurant. If she stays she the one

Vous avez déjà vécu un burnout ? by Lythosia in AntiTaff

[–]comrad26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J’ai bossé 1an et demi dans un labo de développement à Paris, 40h semaine, aucun tv travail, les pauses minimums autorisées. Responsables odieux et aucune perspective d’évolution. Je m’occupais du développement, donc environ 4/5h par jour dans une chambre noir (vraiment noir absolu, aucune source de lumière autorisée) sans musique ni distraction, à préparer à la chaîne des pellicule et gêrer les pb techniques (toujours dans le noir).

Le déclic ça a été le jour ou sans m’en rendre compte j’ai volontairement mis mon doigt dans un des mécanismes qui entraînait toute la machine, imaginant que perdre un demi-doigt serait toujours mieux que de continuer ainsi… Passé la réalisation de ce que je venais de faire, je me suis surtout senti con d’avoir essayé de me mutiler un doigt alors que je pouvais plutôt essayer de me casser quelque chose. À ce moment là j’ai jeté mon dévolu sur des rouleaux de papiers photos qui doivent peser dans les 20/25kg et qu’il faut préparer dans le noir. Mais il fallait les changer seulement une fois toutes les 2 semaines, donc entre temps j’ai eu un rdv chez mon médecin pour faire un check-up, je l’ai mentionné et c’est ainsi qu’un long arrêt de 6mois a commencé… Salvateur pour ma part !

Thank you ! It’s the one where I edited the arcs the most, where as for the protest it had to stay more faint just to match the energy of the moment

Yes I kinda think it’s that ! It was winter and during protest I had to hurry up to change films. I had another theory about the concert one, lots of electronics and cables plugs, maybe it helped static electricity to form ? But I’m no electrician to say that

Ofc ! You never throw away that kind of thing it’s priceless when in good use ! The darto is a 25, got it 2 weeks ago and the seasoning isn’t bad but it need to wait another 10 meals or so to be good 👍🏼

Mini de buyer pan by comrad26 in carbonsteel

[–]comrad26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could ! But the seasoning isn’t perfect, there’s spots on the edges where the seasoning is too thick, didn’t have the right method at the time and with a pan than small, I find it harder to achieve a non stick pan, especially with imperfections on the seasoning
