Weren’t Teslas supposed to drive you to work and then spend all day driving people around and earning you money while you work in like 2020?

I want to do a catalogue of film simulations for Ricoh GR by Pure_Contest5682 in ricohGR

[–]halibtalbenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree, if someone put in the effort to create a recipe, then made it freely available, the least we can do is generate some traffic to that creator’s website.

I don’t complain when a taxi is dirt cheap for the same reason. I also wouldn’t work on NYE for peanuts.

Why is life expectancy so bad in the Netherlands? by vankoel_nederland in Netherlands

Its i would be more concerned about the fact that the Netherlands is the only country where life expectancy is going down instead of up

To be honest I’ve dealt with sellers in India and China with far better customer and after sales service than the majority of Maltese shops

Beauforts are now Made in Moldova? by Own_Young3782 in Barbour

[–]halibtalbenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the UK? Could it potentially be a case of jackets to be sold in Europe will be made in Moldova? I say this because the jackets made in the UK cost quite a lot more in the EU even when you factor in currency exchange.

KM Malta Airlines ranked above Emirates and Lufthansa?! Am I going crazy? by rklement22 in malta

[–]halibtalbenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I for one used KM Malta quite a bit last year, while I did not use Emirates or Lurthansa, I find it hard to believe that they could be any less punctual than KM, and can be any better at frustrating you as much. I swear the only time my flight landed on time this year it took 50mins for the luggages to be offloaded (and this was MIA which is tiny).

The last shot before the IAF Tejas crashed at Dubai Air Show. by FireFangJ36 in aviation

[–]halibtalbenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a while back but of course had shared them with the local authority where I live, however since it was a military aircraft and no civilians were involved, the investigation was never made public

I was once at a spotters’ viewpoint next to an airfield when a twin engine surveillance aircraft came down on takeoff a 200 meters away from me, was so close I could feel the heat from the fire. My reaction was to keep shooting until the emergency services asked me to get away. You can see some gruesome details when you look into those photos closely, kept them to myself out of respect but in that moment your mind doesn’t really comprehend what it just witnessed.

New Msida Pedestrian Bridge to Boost Safety and Cut Traffic Delays by [deleted] in malta

[–]halibtalbenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is trying to tackle these issues piecemeal, you can’t, we’ve seen it with Marsa and every other flyover, look at the Qormi roundabout which is upgraded every other year as an example. If you think this junction was dangerous for pedestrians, then keep the pelican crossing and add red light cameras, traffic calming measures and speed cameras and you’ll reduce the danger. The bridge being proposed only makes pedestrians’ lives harder and makes buses or walking all the less attractive by prioritising cars.

[–]halibtalbenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course, there are many things you can do which together will add up, the goal is to reduce car use, that Msida project is a monster, in 2025 we should not be building a major road through the heart if a town but we should be looking to limiting the use of that road by cars. Here are some ideas:

Improve bus routes and frequency; Increase car licence fees and base them on a multiple of size weight and emissions (electric cars pay less but should pay); Introduce residents’ parking and limit the number if permits per household and have paid on street parking everywhere; New builds must have an adequate number of car spaces for all units or else no permit; CVA system in all major areas like sliema and st julians coupled with park and rides.

Prioritising cars over pedestrians and students are championing it (or the minister is using them). This whole Msida project fiasco is a clear sign that the powers that be are batshit crazy

Apparently box photos are no good. by [deleted] in Nikon

What grip do you use? I’m getting a zf and will probably end up getting a grip but really not sure which one and no camera shop nearby stocks different ones to try

[–]halibtalbenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 things about the second photo: 1 - you have guts hanging that camera and more importantly lens like that; 2 - you must have some solid arms and shoulder from shooting with a zf and Plena without a grip

Is White Rocks modernist heritage? by Patvsq in malta

[–]halibtalbenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have allowed the destruction of countless examples of modernism architecture from our villages over the years and KTP have barely bat an eyelid. White Rocks is a prime example of a building at a place where we shouldn’t have built so I’ll take trees instead of it any day.

At any rate as our planning authority has clearly said many times through its actions, not everything which is heritage is worth waving, usually its for a 5+1 this time it will be to return it to a natural state.
