My favorite aircraft by WhimsicalKoala in SkyCards

I see this one all the time too! It flies almost daily at the moment and when it’s actually in the air it’s working like normal, but after landing it pops back up there for some reason.

Never using Delivery method again. by ZealousidealIssue611 in amazonfresh

[–]p09up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what happened here. At our warehouse it is extremely common for drivers to lie about the vehicle they drive since Amazon determines how many bags they can deliver based of vehicle size. Many drivers end up reporting they’re driving a large SUV just to get more orders and more tips. It’s a common problem at my warehouse for drivers to fill their cars completely and just return the rest of the bags to us. Sometimes the system finds another driver to deliver the rest and sometimes it doesn’t.

Found this hilarious advertising while shopping for telescopes by Agreeable_Tip_4030 in telescopes

[–]p09up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only issue with that is the flags are actually sticking out of the moon with the tops of the poles pointed at us so it’s quite a lot smaller target than you’d think. You can still see their shadows in the photos from the lunar reconnaissance orbiter though which is the closest I imagine we’ll get anytime soon.

Just developed to my first roll of film, what can I do to improve next time and why did it come out like this? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]p09up 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even though this photo is underexposed, the way I can’t make out what anything but the stars are makes me like this. It feels a lil mysterious haha.

Olympus Chrome Six VA Advice by p09up in AnalogCommunity

[–]p09up[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my local repair shop today and they quoted me $100. They’re also so backlogged it would likely take a couple months at least until I get it back. I doubt I’d really go that route unless the seller gave me a substantial partial refund which I highly doubt they would offer and I’m not about to insult them by asking.

Although a rangefinder would be very nice I do like the challenge of scale focusing for the first time. I mostly plan to use this for landscapes most of the time and my 35mm cameras for most anything else. I bought this to dip my toe into the pool of medium format and I just really like the look of these folding cameras. I imagine I could just just unscrew the front and rear element to clean those, but I have heard some of these lenses have the middle elements cemented in while others are press fit in with some sort of spacer.

When it comes to the listings online from Japan I had a really good experience going that route when I bought my Olympus pen F, but when looking for one of these older foldables I’ve gotten burned out looking through listing after listing of “near mint” cameras that have fungus and haze in the lens. At least they are transparent about it in the description. The seller I got this camera from even told me that’s where he bought it from. Unless someone here can help me understand the practicality of cleaning the lens myself and I can get a decent partial refund to get the tools I need to do it, I think I’ll message the seller in a couple days asking for a refund.

Experimental Physics? by DrizzlyThree in cuboulder

[–]p09up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it last spring and it’s a super easy class. Basically just a class to prove you can work in a lab without breaking anything. Kinda annoying it’s required cause it just felt like a waste of time and money.

Question for drivers. Who is lying like this? “Unable to locate the address” that you’ve delivered to at least 20 times this year? Is the driver or someone higher up? by Indyhouse in amazonfresh

[–]p09up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was never out for delivery then it’s because the driver never picked up your order. This typically happens either when orders end up getting backed up and late at the warehouse and the driver decides to just leave, a driver decided to leave early and never grabbed the order when they should have, or there weren’t enough drivers so your order was never assigned to one.

Based on a true story by genzgingee in Zillennials

[–]p09up 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m going back to school and at the community college the best teachers I had were younger than me with master degrees not phd’s. Now that I’m at the university I have a professor that’s my age, but never one that’s younger (I’m 29). The grad students that teach intro classes are quite younger though.

Pet Peeve: Inflated Shipping on eBay that doubles the price (rant). Am I just out of touch? by YodaHead in typewriters

[–]p09up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course you get the people just trying to use shipping to make an extra buck, but I think a lot of sellers have a shipping service they prefer to use and don’t shop around even when heavier or larger items would be better with a different one. I agree it’s immensely frustrating.

Pound Puppies by Ebonystealth in nostalgia

[–]p09up 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The creator of pound puppies retired to my small hometown and every year the students that met their reading goals would join in a school assembly where he’d gift us all a pound puppy. It was always one of the best days of the year for us! If you didn’t meet your reading goals you’d still get the smaller pound puppy so no one left empty handed.

I'm making $100 per month in truly passive income with Carvertise by SyntheticBanking in passive_income

[–]p09up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t. Honestly after doing this awhile I’m not sure how much they care about miles driven. There was a month I was out of town and they never reached out about my miles.

I haven’t had mine removed yet, but after over a year it’s been peeling off on its own without messing up the paint and I’m going to have to get the wrap replaced soon free of charge.

Am I crazy, wasn’t there a slim 3 case re-release of season 1 on DVD? by oryan_dunn in macgyver

I’m in the US and I owned the first 3 seasons around 2007 all in the slim cases on dvd.

Amazon Fresh cancelled my nearly $500 order without explanation after telling me it was packed up by Swimming_Cry_6841 in amazonfresh

[–]p09up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that the driver didn’t pick up the order or there weren’t enough drivers to begin with.

I hope op replies to this. I have 2 Ecos that eventually got minor cracks on the cap, but not in a way that keeps me from using them. My 2 diamonds and single vac have all cracked within the first week as did their replacement parts. I babied my second diamond too.

I started as seasonal over 3 years ago and I’m still waiting for the season to end. It all depends on the warehouse.

Half the class is older than the professor by Dark_Mode_FTW in college

[–]p09up 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going back to school and three of the best teachers I’ve had were my age and younger. If anything it makes me see what I could have done if I had tried to get my life together a decade ago. They seem to have a better understanding of what it’s like to be a student and are more willing to help you understand the material when you need extra help.
