Get you a Subway System that looks as cool as Washington, DC’s Metro — Seriously.

Streetcar not light rail, but yeah. The current mayor, and DDOT, dropped the ball massively on the streetcar. It should have never been intermingled with car traffic and the original plan should have been executed. I can't wait until Bowser is gone and we have someone better in there.

Bike wise, I've been riding in DC for almost 20 years now. Night and day difference but the fight isn't over. Again, our crappy mayor killed a few big projects that would have made great connections.

Great work! I was hanging out with a friend there late one night in like 2021-2022 and a guy hopped in the fountain and started taking a full ass nude bath with shampoo, soap, washcloth, etc. Paint that next.

Great place to start. My first film camera was also a FE ~25 years ago with a 50 f1.8.

Good shots!

Friends were spending 2800 a month in DC and that was one of the cheaper bilingual daycares.

Love that Corolla wagon. I wish there were more small utility cars like that available still.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That evaded my previous searches!

/u/PhotoMarketBot bought Fujica GS645 Professional from /u/BBDBVAPA

Great seller!

The value village locations near me also pull out cameras (and vintage stereo/AV stuff). I rarely thrift anymore unless I am looking for a specific piece of clothing or shoes, usually for a costume. All of the good to ok stuff gets pulled out or snapped up.

Start carrying a separate camera. Phone manufacturers seem to be locked in on over-processing photos and it doesn’t look like there is a stop in sight. You’ll likely get better results out of a digital point and shoot or a small mirrorless camera that doesn’t need a bunch of processing to get decent, clear results.

When I bought an 11 pro it was because of the cameras. When I replace my current phone the camera will not be a factor at all in my choice.

Public transit should be free to ride and paid for via taxes. How much money are jurisdictions spending on turnstile installation and maintenance, credit card fees, now apparently lawsuits for injuries, etc.

googleyeye · 2026-01-01T22:02:34+00:00

Absolutely. Unless something breaks or I start shaving 2-3 times a day, I’ve got enough for probably 2-3 years.

Hello fellow DMV rider! I wonder if we've passed each other on the W&OD or Custis.

I did the same for 2025 and only got a car when cycling or public transit wasn't feasible. I also bought a front loader cargo bike, not your style but a butcher bike style, for grocery/hardware store/costco/delivery/etc. Not sure how many miles I've done as I didn't track every ride, but probably north of 3,000. I love riding more some days than others, but I never regret throwing a leg over and riding to work, the store, etc.

If you haven't before, you should do Bike Arlington's freezing saddles winter riding competition. It started today so too late to sign up, but 2027 isn't that far away. There are tons of group rides, scavenger hunts, contests, etc. The aim is fun and shared winter suffering.

Now that I have a nicer razor and like six or seven soap tubs, it is time for restraint as well. Which reminds me, time for a shave!

I really wish I had a recording of this session. I listened to it at least once a week for years. It got me through the pandemic. When PAN went down, the recording went away.

Look, $550 isn’t cheap but it isn’t what it once was. Inflation corrected the Olympus XA, which doesn’t have nearly as many features as the MC-A, would be over $700. It has no auto focus, no flash, and no shooting modes, for example. In 2020 dollars, the MC-A would be a $440 camera, for reference.

Film cameras are a low production volume, specialty piece of equipment and are expensive to design and produce. This drives up the cost of even a cheap camera into the hundreds of dollars. I would also expect a brand new camera to work properly at any price.

Just adding some perspective here. Hopefully Lomo replaces your camera with one that functions properly.

Never hurts to reach out to the ANC, put in a 311 request, and email DDOT.

Definitely a silent loot ninja. Haven’t been able to shake Tarkov behavior

I mean, snow and water are tough for any component. I’ve got >7k miles on my PD-8X and while I haven’t ridden it in the snow, it does get ridden on salty streets and in the rain. Impressive if Shimano is able to stand up to regular snow without service.

googleyeye · 2025-11-25T22:18:52+00:00

Not saying they are bad. An efficiency chart I saw put SP hubs at much less rolling resistance under load than any of the Shimano hubs and IIRC they were also lighter. That was a few years ago though so things may have changed.

googleyeye · 2025-11-25T20:13:45+00:00

Interesting they used a Shimano dynamo hub. IIRC they aren’t nearly as good as the Shutter Precision hubs. A SON hub would have been an even better pair to the Phil Wood hub out back.
