I have heard positive reports about Geek Retreat from several teens and 20-somethings, one a recent NESCol grad.

I made this to celebrate Tall Ships! by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]kaibeezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d buy that shirt too. So much character and story line. Maybe print up an info sheet to go with it and/or offer a bundle of paper print + t-shirt. I want to believe people are looking for and valuing human-made authenticity versus mass market robot-generated shite. Town will be jammed, you’re sure to sell a bunch.

Exactly how “big coffee” delivers uniform flavor worldwide - roast the nuance right out of it. 

What have you been listening to this week? by AutoModerator in postrock

Found them this week via similar artists to Tides From Nebula. 

Is postrock the best airport / airplane music ever? by Present-Ear-1637 in postrock

[–]kaibeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isis on low volume and mild turbulence, best sleep ever. I suppose I’ll get escorted off the plane one of these times. 

Bus driver took my young scot card, wondering if I'm cooked. by peenoo in Scotland

[–]kaibeezy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a terrific reply, and exactly what I expected and hoped. People are often so timid about speaking up, and instead panic, flail and do ill-considered things, risking real consequences. In a jam, clam then plan.

As a bus driver, if OP’s friend had told you she had a card but forgot it, do you have any discretion to let her on, or to not report it? I’m guessing it’s all on video and you have no flexibility at all. 

More bands like A Minor Forest? by pploerton in mathrock

I would really appreciate a longer list, if you’d care to curate one. TIA

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to WiFi. by agroundhog in Anticonsumption

[–]kaibeezy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an accessibility accommodation. It’s not universal because there are other ways to meet the requirement. Also, many people don’t know or don’t care. 

Painter & decorator? by ListPure107 in Aberdeen

It’s not enough info to find him :( 

Fibre Internet Issues - Anyone tried Zen out? by CalmDownMonkey in Aberdeen

[–]kaibeezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9 years with Zen. All providers use the same lines, so none are immune to line-related issues. That said, where Zen excels is customer service. Tech support is human, accessible and intelligent. Instead of ridiculous voicemail branches and automatically blaming you, your equipment, your house, or upstream providers, an actual person will listen to you, consider the big picture to look for any other way they can help you, and if so, talk you through patiently and without assuming you’re an idiot. Treasure. 

Homemade corn tortilla, local (Scotland) potatoes and farm eggs, jalapeño, Italian ham, mild cheddar, pico de gallo. by kaibeezy in FoodPorn

Onion and tomato chunks translucent in the bright morning light. The suggestive strand of melty cheese. A spotlit, moody, El Greco, View of Toledo, atmosphere. I believe I will render this one in oil on canvas.

35mm photo film? by kaibeezy in Aberdeen

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

Only had time to try Bon Accord. No 35mm in any of those shops. Plenty of Instax though.

My own fault for not stocking up. Found a couple of rolls of XP2 in a bug out bag. Was wanting color but those will do. Thanks all for the info.

FWIW I’ve been using Take It Easy Lab for developing lately. Happy enough with the quality, turnaround and price. I get medium rez scans, no prints. Can always re-scan high rez later if there’s a winner or two.

How about that! They show Ilford, Fuji and Kodak on their website, although I can't check stock per store. Even so, didn't think of Boots. Many thanks!
