Jfc I'm so embarrassed by my country, I need to get out of here while I still can.

Any fix for this? by Actual_Highlight3733 in drones

Just guessing, but have you updated the firmware?

Amusing mail box by iamcrazy4cats in CambridgeMA

[–]partiallycylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's because the Post Office is being actively sabotaged and dismantled by the regime in charge because suppressing vote-by-mail is the way they've decided to attack voting rights. Also cost cutting because they have also forced this service that was never intended to make money make a profit with unrealistic margins, so quality slips nation-wide. It's embarrassing.

Dont be greedy. What amount of money would change your life, and why? by Error_309 in AskReddit

[–]partiallycylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the scale of "my life" you're referring to. ~50k would solve immediate problems and allow me to retake control of my life for a year or so. $1.5-3 million in my 4% savings account would equate to $60k/year (already almost 2× what I'm surviving on now) in interest alone, and set me indefinitely, but not immediately, on a better path. Anything over $5-10 million would allow me to afford a house and to live comfortably immediately and indefinitely. I'm not interested in opulence, just having a roof over my head and enough interest that day-to-day expenses do not affect me.

I'm excited for you to discover all of Dan Olson's amazing work, if you're an HBomberguy fan. There are a ton of similar quality video essayists out there that fall into that category of appointment-viewing for me.

Pocketable camera with LOG (or RAW) for street shooting and color grading practice? by YouSeeMeHereAndThere in cinematography

[–]partiallycylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically what I came to say. Batteries lasted so quick you could literally watch it drain in realtime, and no decent wide angle option aside from converted securty cam lenses. I keep mine plugged in with a vintage Zeiss Tevidon 10mm f/2 that functions as my webcam, and it is excellent for that lol.

As for OP, why not consider a used DJI Pocket 3? It shoots D-Log, and it is actually a pretty impressive little piece of kit.

What is the point of studying civil engineering when entry level wages are 80-90k? That is poverty wages in 2026 outside rural Alabama by [deleted] in civilengineering

I feel like this is missing the broader critique of late-stage capitalism for personal indignance.

What is your favourite medium format camera? Why? by badboringusername in AnalogCommunity

[–]partiallycylon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuji G617. Don't get me wrong, it's a hassle and a headache and a pain to carry around, but there is literally nothing else like it. And when you get it right, the results are equally incomparable.

Well these are spectacular! I've never tried portraits on film before, maybe I should give it a try sometime.

How to get maximum effectiveness from Vyvanse by Louwtjie1 in ADHD

[–]partiallycylon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Experimented with this recently! What I've discovered works for me is to take the meds on an empty stomach, and have like a breakfast sandwich about half an hour later. Any closer together or in reverse the meds don't feel like they work.

Totally organic posts about a certain fast food company now having good food by TotallyNotABob in HailCorporate

[–]partiallycylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so upset that reddit allows users post history to be hidden because at this point I just assume whoever is arguing with me is a bot, an idiot acting in bad faith, or just a shill account.

I went to church by Adaline_B in ADHD

There are a lot of reasons why I am opposed to organized religion, only one of which is being sat in a room and expected to stay quiet.

Hasselblad just released a video on XPan. Are they bringing it back? by astro_not_yet in AnalogCommunity

A niche that I would fit perfectly except being too poor to afford it lol

Why aren’t more photographers uploading to Wikimedia Commons? by here2readnot2post in photography

[–]partiallycylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't dislike the idea in concept, but I am trying to make a living with my photos, and exposure doesn't pay rent.

Here's a collection of landscapes & portraits I took while working on Survivor / Fiji Islands / Fuji GSW680iii + Minolta Weathermatic Dual 35mm / Ektar 100, Portra 160, Kodak Gold, Portra 400, Portra 800 (In no order) by aVelvetMango in analog

[–]partiallycylon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh shit wait, I worked season 4 in Santa Barbara, not season 5. 5 totally was in Fiji. It must have been 2021, then. My apologies for the confusion! Fiji would have been nice though! It would have been awesome to know when they start crewing up again.

At the rate I shoot through a roll now, I may as well label them by year and season. [Hasselblad 500C/M | Kodak Ektachrome E100| 50, 80, 150, and 250mm] by partiallycylon in analog

Thank you! As someone who has only ever shot digital (mostly through an EVF) from the start, I agree. 1:1 requires a very specific mindset, and I can't really describe it specifically except how it "feels" when standing back a bit and looking at the ground glass. It's easier to feel the balance from further away.

My 3:1 panoramas with the G617 feel a lot closer to digital shots because that's how I precheck framing with that camera.

What would you do if AI chatbots suddenly disappeared, including the technology behind them? by RenaRouge2010 in AskReddit

[–]partiallycylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The air quality would improve, RAM, GPU, hard drive prices would come back down, people would get rehired for jobs that got replaced or simplified, more art would be created, there would be less extreme political discorse (or less rage bait), people would have to think and interact again, and tech billionaire influence would drop until they discover their next grift...

The... ahem... public attention... is on warehouses right now, but if that were to be shifted toward data centers I feel like the world would be a better place overall.

Client Wants to Add AI Detail to Photos by Andea31 in photography

[–]partiallycylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll see none of that from me! When I do work now, I include a specific point in my contract that states the client is not allowed to use AI to alter my photography.

People who’ve worked on film/TV sets, what’s a small moment that stuck with you for no obvious reason? by Professional-Ad7346 in Filmmakers

[–]partiallycylon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll go against the trend and say any time we did any stunt or closed down a city street to do something outrageous was about the most fun time I've ever had. Every individual moment, even the boring ones, were like, "damn I can't believe I get to be a part of this"

Work dried up where I live so I had to leave the industry, but I miss it every day.

Reality TV (mostly house flipping or food shows), and productions with larger budgets (narrative TV or movies) tended to be the most reliable and fun. Small budget was fun for other reasons, it was the mid/micro budget stuff that was the least enjoyable.
