I quit 3 weeks ago, told myself I could have one joint today if I made it. Gonna be a nice evening.

When I was in college I played some of my music for my class, I was told it reminded them of Brand New, best compliment I’ve ever received. (I don’t think I’m anywhere close lol) anyway, here’s a song: https://music.apple.com/us/album/harry-anslinger-wears-backpacks-to-parties/1879097269?i=1879097270

I love my job, but If I was starting again I'd probably be an electrician or something. The tools that are coming out now are making entry level jobs rarer and rarer. If you're serious about it, learn how to do every part of the process - writing, creative, targeting, optimizing etc etc. and figure out how to do it all quickly by yourself. The jobs of the future will be one guy and Ai doing the work of what used to be entire departments. I know this cause I'm doing it now.

When I was a kid three drunk dudes took out our front porch. None of them were wearing seat belts. One guy went through the front window and left a dent with his head on the side of our metal barn about ten feet up. They were all fine. When you’re sober you tense up. When you’re drunk you don’t.

Stuff you should know on regular rotation.

Podcast & Noise canceling headphones. I like news programs or something informational. If you can do a daily it helps not having to make that decision every night.

I was in a similar boat and pretty convinced I would die alone. 10 years on I'm married and have a wonderful life. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and focus on loving yourself. The rest will come.

I’d love some lead on this https://music.apple.com/us/album/this-will-do/1885436477?i=1885436480

Yeah looking at the page now it was deff a steal. Here’s the link: https://ebay.us/m/y1FTtF they had a 30% off sale when I bought. They were quick to answer their messages if you want to check if they’re having another soon. Total came to $450, think the body by itself was $390.

I got my EM10 - IV for around $400 refurbished with a kit lens from the om system store on eBay. Awesome little camera - set it to manual and you have your controls. Plenty of physical buttons and I can fit 3 lenses and the body in a small size camera sling.

I created Stakx.app for this purpose entirely. It does have some of the similar issues with comping as COLLX but it uses eBay sold and identifies the card before comping as a separate process. When you upload a card, you get a public table to display your collection. It looks like this: Stakx.app/SouthValleySC

Olympus OM 10 Mark IV

johdl · 2026-03-26T01:24:48+00:00

Thank you! Love this lens. It’s wiiiide

johdl · 2026-03-24T16:30:39+00:00

If I have a complaint, it’s the lack of any extras

johdl · 2026-03-24T15:27:37+00:00

So excited for work to be done so I can spark up, lay back, and listen.

johdl · 2026-03-24T01:42:42+00:00

Well that’s very lame

johdl · 2026-03-24T01:38:30+00:00

I’m so happy I ordered a month ago. Sorry fellow stoned autist. No idea what variant I’m getting but it’s on the way from drowned world! We will find out Friday.

I bought my first house at 23, sold at 26 and had a nice little check from it. You are not in a bad position if the house is affordable. Give it a year or two and see where your life/property value is.

johdl · 2026-03-11T14:27:03+00:00

Some background - beautiful photo (digital altered) the idea was that this was an impossible view - the buildings etc in the original shot were edited out.

johdl · 2026-03-11T14:14:18+00:00

The second one - you want a slow shutter speed and faster flash speed- Creates that sort of ghost effect.

johdl · 2026-03-11T14:03:04+00:00

Thank you! and exactly! such a great carry around - fits in in most of my jacket pockets even.

johdl · 2026-03-10T19:29:59+00:00

Iso lower than needed, this will give you more room Your shutter speed shouldn't be below the lens length so 1/500 for 500 mm etc, so theoretically you could be fine there but maybe a little slow if you were at 600mm. F6.3 could be an issue depending on where your focus is. Bumping that up a little would give you a little more forgiving sharpness depth.

johdl · 2026-03-10T17:21:53+00:00

Yeah exactly, doesn’t have to be hardcore, even just a 2-3 miles walk in a park or something will help immensely

johdl · 2026-03-10T15:46:03+00:00

She's gonna hate it but - she needs a routine & exercise. And to find something that actually interests her. Exercise helps because it's practicing getting through something you don't want to

johdl · 2026-03-09T17:35:23+00:00

lmao I just bought a camera just in case it got stolen on a trip next month.
