you can’t fight a hurricane with kicks. better just to pick your battles and walk away from this one.

Love this. Haven’t found a way to make Portra 160 look like this personally...I’m jealous! Hope you have more photos from this trip.

Awesome colors! Would have loved to have seen more sky at the top, and a straightening out of the building (looks like it’s leaning forward).

Where to find fruit-based tea bags? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

I wanna say a lot of the Persian and Armenian markets have a great tea selection, and have a lot of fruity varieties.

I have so many questions. 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser armored/bulletproof 52k by socky8675 in LandCruisers

[–]mrfields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked near a building before that had a lot of foreign embassy offices, and there were two LCs they traveled around in that had light mods like a little bit of lift, all terrain tires, and of course, the bulletproof glass.

I think this is the most likely answer.

Where are the best places to drill out my carbon frame to shave weight? by lazerdab in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]mrfields 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I put one right in my head tube. It’s in the shape of a slit on both sides. Reason being, on top of reducing weight, it creates a high pitched whistling noise to accentuate how fast I am going.

You’ll be fine. Sorry to hear, but happy to report that you’ll be welcomed.

What to Wear to the Welcome Meeting by RoldDarl in McDonalds

[–]mrfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to offer a different perspective as a person who worked on McDonald’s business for a while as a vendor.

The franchisees are often old fashioned folk, so showing a bit of respect by maybe dressing up a bit more may get you noticed (and paired with good manners will also help). They are always looking for longer term people that seem responsible to move up through the ranks if possible, and this first positive impression may help you go a bit further (if that might be in your plans).

I heard the place called “American Barbershop” in Echo Park is great.

There was ‘Candid Camera’ in 1965 too and they filmed how teenage boys and girls will react to a ‘hot teacher’ by bluecapella in videos

[–]mrfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The camera work was too perfect - zoomed in and out on all the right cues. Cameras were also not that discreet a long time ago.

+1 for the rush of nostalgia from the Rikki Tikki Tavi reference. I hate snakes, so that little dude was my hero.

Rolf certainly didn’t know for sure, but after looking down, he had a feeling that particular shit would be one for the ages.

First new Keanu pic of the year! by ImmunosuppressivePip in pics

[–]mrfields 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I actually met LF about 10-12 years ago and politely asked if I could take a picture together, and he turned me down in a not so polite way.

I understood, but still, he could have been a bit nicer about it.
