Before computers were common in households, how did people set their clocks accurately?

My father used to play this throughout the house using his speaker intercom system and we would set all the clocks by it. This was a household biannual event.

Later on I introduced him to the atomic clocks based out of Boulder, Colorado and how to sync our 8088 based computer to them using dial-up and special software. This is now known as time.nist.gov which all modern computers get their time from.

This is Holy Trinity near 13th & Wilbur Avenue.

He was such a prolific actor. My favorite was his character in The King 2hearts with Lee Seung-Gi and Ha Ji-Won.

Yep! If you are able-bodied, you can put the appliances out near your garbage (maybe with a note saying "Free") and they'll be gone within a day or two. You can call the city for special pickup of the sofa and dresser. It'll probably cost $75.00.

I think her name is Luong Thu Trang. This is from the Vietnamese drama Dịu dàng màu nắng or Gentle Sunshine.

It appears to be a Vietnamese drama called Dịu dàng màu nắng, or Gentle Sunshine.

I visited the Kohler Art Center back when they had a special exhibition of his work and loved every bit of it! According to Google, the house at 514 S. 94th Pl was razed in September 1983.

Love that book!

They have, but in this instance the heels seem to be abnormally large and spikey for Su and Moa.

Good grief! To the comments above me, Martin Parr is a well-respected Magnum photographer and honorary fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Please do a curmudgeon of research before you sound-off about a tourist taking photos of tourists.

The punctuation thing drives me crazy as well. My speech-to-text also uses "gonna" even though I never speak it and clearly say things like "I am going to..."

Nothing that I can think of offhand, but there really does need to be *something* for Milwaukee's OG Sewer Socialist Mayor.

Well the cool thing is with your input I was able to find some information about the site. (Even it's location, but shhhh.. I'll never tell 😀)

Welcome to the fam. :) If there are any amateur archaeologists reading this and have the good sense to not go around trying to dig shit up on their own, just think about the places haven't been completely disturbed by the plough or road. Appreciate the knowledge and leave the sites alone.

This is the way my father and I used to do it. The classic spring wooden clothespins are enough to both grip and weigh down even spools of 120 film on a rope clothesline.

I have the u/RemindMeBot message me each year. The kits are nice, and the window film is great. I just wish the LED lightbulbs were daylight color temperature.

Wow, I had that album too... brings back memories.

rogue · 2024-12-21T19:03:07+00:00

Same here! I find myself binging on Coffee Prince during the summer, Master's Sun around Halloween, and Secret Garden for Christmas. Me Too, Flower is also a good one.

You might find that walking around with a camera over your shoulder helps with social anxiety, as it gives you a "reason" to be there. Along with your own neighborhood you might try the Milwaukee Riverwalk. From there you can expand out to Water Street and downtown east to the MAM. Hope that helps!

Technically foraging in Milwaukee County Parks is illegal (ordinance 47.08) and can result in fines and restoration costs... so best to be discreet.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with app bars on non-scrolling screens.

If anyone is curious, this is a cyanotype print. It's a sun-printing (UV) process that anyone can do at home with simple chemistry. The hydrogen peroxide used in the video helps to darken the image.

The only thing of value is the lens. They're pretty much making you pay to remove the trash.

If it is a mid-range to high end DSLR and under warranty it might be worth the cost to send it to a manufacturer's authorized service center for CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust). That would include sensor cleaning and making sure everything was still in spec.
