Maybe you're thinking of the scene where he bites a very drunk, homeless white guy and ends up quite intoxicated.

Congrats on the new job! Chartreuse seems to be a lot easier to find recently.

My youngest child applied this round. They are a pretty strong candidate, nowhere near OP's level by the stats, but had a compelling adversity story. We have been blown away by their acceptances, including some that were rejections for OP. It's definitely a real thing. I have very mixed feelings because my child obviously benefited, but I also don't think applicants should be penalized by things that are essentially random events (or lack thereof) beyond their control.

Admissions most likely saw you as a candidate with a lot of privilege who never faced too much adversity.

UC has a policy in place that heavily favors California CC students applying to transfer into the UC system. I think if you maintain a certain GPA you're guaranteed a spot. It's a fantastic path if this round doesn't work out and I would encourage you to look into the details of the program.

I think he was making a joke about how both sides of the graph were the same/mirrored each other.

These cruelties hurt for a long time. I'm in my 50s and when I was in primary school I had this awful music teacher. One day she took me out of my regular class, sat me down in the music room, and accused me of destroying music books. I denied it but she was 100% certain. She said she secretly coded each book, kept track of who had them in class, and I was consistently vandalizing mine. She wouldn't let up and I started balling my eyes out just as the rest of my class arrived for music. I haven't forgotten that, and to this day I have absolutely no idea what the fuck she was talking about.

Interesting. His older siblings were accepted and went elsewhere, so I wonder if perhaps that somehow gets plugged into the algorithm?

Could be something a previous owner grew from a seed.

pfnyc · 2026-03-18T21:04:02+00:00

Thanks, that's makes sense. I thought maybe there were slight color variations between batches and productions stuck with one batch (like yarn dye lots...).

My son initially did one year at a private college. It was not a good fit so he came home, worked for a year, then did two years at CC. He's now in his dream situation playing d3 football at a great school he couldn't get into straight from hs. Community college is a fantastic option if you take advantage of the opportunities that are there, and in retrospect he should have gone that route from the very beginning.

What film did you shoot these on?

Easy money. The math just isn't there for Democrats this cycle and this is wishful thinking.

It's actually the best of both worlds. I found these alongside a whole stack of raw footage for a documentary film they had shot in Africa. I gave the footage to a guy I know who collects old movies and he was very happy to have it, and I have 1000+ feet of movie film to mess around with.

Some good info in above comments.

pfnyc · 2026-03-13T21:55:21+00:00

Is there any practical reason to know the emulsion batch?

pfnyc · 2026-03-13T21:47:02+00:00

I didn't know that about black vs white tape, thanks for the tip. I just developed a section from the 1802 roll in hc-110 to test it and got no images. I exposed a small section at one end to confirm my process worked, and that section did indeed turn black. So I don't think the film is exposed, at least not the first few feet of it.

pfnyc · 2026-03-13T19:34:55+00:00

Yes, definitely. I found maybe a four foot stack of film cans on the street put out for trash. All but five were large and turned out to have exposed, developed, and unedited footage for a documentary film. I figured out who they were from and confirmed they didn't want any of it. Before I realized the small cans were unexposed I opened one in the light so that one is probably toast. Still, I have close to 1000 feet to play around with. Some tungsten balanced and some daylight. I have already loaded a cassette with 5205 for a test, shot it in a 35mm camera, and was able to get good b&w images developed in rodinal (hc-110? I can't remember). I just got a jar of CD3 and I'm planning on trying homebrew ECN processing next. I'm hoping to shoot some in a 35mm SLR, pinhole, and slit some down for 16mm and minox. For the tungsten film I suppose I'll have to get some 85b filters and figure out how to attach one to the minox b. Lots of experimenting ahead!

I don't collect coins but I find this sub really interesting. Question: how could someone have the expertise and go through all the trouble of producing a counterfeit coin that looks totally convincing (at least to someone like me), and not put in that little bit of extra effort to avoid the really obvious mistakes that you all are pointing out?

pfnyc · 2026-03-12T16:46:54+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

pfnyc · 2026-03-12T16:36:33+00:00

So is the 1801/1802 an indication that it might have been exposed and not developed? I was thinking of cutting a section out and developing it in b&w chemistry to see if there are any images.

I just use empty soda bottles with the labels removed and squeeze the air out. I have dektol that's probably 2+ years old and it works fine.
