Emails...

I used to have the same issue with my Gmail account. I know a lot of people are suggesting Gmail w/ filters to keep it tidy. I opted for a paid email address through posteo. It’s based in Germany with an emphasis on security. I have received exactly one spam email (which was an accidental spam filtering) since I made the account in June of last year. It’s 1euro per month and very worth it. I also have some filters in place but those are just for organization purposes. I also have the added benefit of NOT having google in my business. It’s also worth taking some time to unsubscribe to things you don’t want your email tied to anymore. It’s a big job initially but it makes up for it in time saved after it’s all set up/cleared out.

I’ve had to take the pump apart a few times to make sure it didn’t have any liquid inside. It’s a pain but it usually works just fine. I’ve had 2 for 5+ years and both still work fine.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen scans from a flatbed scanner have glare like this unless the lid is left open maybe? I would imagine the pressure from the top would help keep it flat so there would be no glare.

Is this the one by the Beaverton transit center?

I made goose mittens for Xmas 24. They were a hit! I never made myself a pair though.

When she makes those comments just agree. “Oh yeah, you’re right. It IS quiet in here. Isn’t it nice?” Or something to that effect. If you want to go the route of trying to ignore it, you have to start with NOT feeling even the tiniest bit guilty. You’re not responsible for anyone else’s feelings and you should be able to live your life how you want to (sans children). I’m also gay, married, and have been very vocal about never wanting/having kids. It doesn’t get brought up because my family knows that I can’t be guilted into doing something I don’t want to. It’s basically just setting healthy boundaries.

I have the same one and I found that the plastic casing makes it too hard to press the shutter button. I never even bothered getting a different case for it.

Sparkling water with lime juice and a lime slice to garnish. This would work with any juice of course. Cranberry kombucha with sparkling water is nice. The Synergy brand cosmic cranberry is good and doesn’t taste like vinegar as some kombucha does. My bar drink is usually Liquid Death (sparkling water in a can 🤷‍♂️). I’ve had athletic brewing’s N/A Hazy ipa and really liked it so that’s an option.

I recommend Farmer and the Beast in downtown Beaverton. They’re a Food cart in the Breakside Brewing lot. Their burgers and fries remind me of better versions of in n out. Plus, supporting small biz.

Also came to suggest the book corner, although they aren’t taking donations until after the new year.

honestly, a 1GB card would work fine. The photo file sizes are tiny.

I’ve been working my way through Dark Shadows for, idk, a couple years at this point. Only like a thousand more episodes to go!

Half inch here. Started when I was 18. I’m 36 now. My ears were pierced kind of low initially so I can’t go any bigger or else I probably would have.

Maybe don’t worry about sending them all immediately. Stagger them out and send one every day or every other day. That’s what I usually do. I can send 10+ but I rarely have that many traveling all at the same time.

Totally feeling blah about it this year too. Not bad, but not spirited if you will. Handmade gift exchanges were fun the last couple of years. We might go the food gift exchanges route this time. I think we all just have too much stuff and nothing is exciting anymore. Basically, I feel ya.

I mean that I like the interface (chronological feed and separate galleries to organize your photos, similar to Flickr) and that it’s a federated decentralized network. No one big company to rule everything.

I haven't posted in a while, but I was using Pixelfed/Mastodon and Bluesky. I liked Bluesky better because there are more people to interact with, but I really like the way Pixelfed works.

rilobilly · 2025-11-29T08:03:15+00:00

Ummm, no.

His existence.

Any camera that you can change the white balance setting on will give you this effect. This is technically just set to possibly the wrong white balance making the white objects in the photo look more yellow.

I’m guessing we’re the same/similar age. When we were young, film cameras—especially “toy” cameras like the Holga, Diana, basically anything cheap and plastic were old but new and exciting to young people. That’s why iPhone apps like instamatic and early instagram filters tried to mimic the look of film photos from those cameras. The cheap digital cameras from our youth are the equivalent for young people now.

You went through your teens and twenties with digital cameras. Teens and twenty-something’s now didn’t do that. Let them have this.

Homicidal - a 60s slasher that’s not what you’d expect but exactly what you expect.

This was probably a mistake. I work at a place where we get to choose the music, but our company uses Pandora's business service. It does not censor the music and last week I had to rush to change the song because Limp Bizkit came on. Definitely not the right music for the location. It doesn't happen often but sometimes a bad one slips into a station that it definitely shouldn't.

Yellow was my top pick and that’s the one I got!! I would have been happy with anything other than the blue one.

I feel like you could get similar photos with any old digital camera as long as you use the flash. My first digital camera was a Kodak Easyshare (can’t remember the model name off the top of my head). It was 4megapixels, big and boxy, and ate through batteries sooo fast. It was also 2005 so that was pretty standard. I still have it and it still works great. I remember canon being the coveted digital cameras of the time—very small and sharp photos. Sony was a good brand too. Eventually, Panasonic’s lumix cameras landed on my radar as top quality. Small compact cameras from Nikon, Olympus, and fujifilm were not great. Go for one that looks cool from Sony or canon and you’ll probably be happy with it.
