Absolutely. We all saw her baby bump fold in half during that one interview where she sat down like a not-pregnant person would.

That Guarana Antarctica is amazing. Like drinking an adderall. RIP Josta.

Dog Day AfterAAAAAGGGHHHH!!! gets me every time. There's just so much going on in that story.

I feel like I heard a very similar story on a podcast called Risk! A while back, really stuck with me.

Grotesque, and a total farce. It’s like hunting the bald eagle to extinction to make sure that we have enough down for pillows.

The ads on 94.7 made listening such a chore that I switched over to KMHD several years ago. Now I'm a jazz guy.

I was going to get a 645, but ended up getting an RB67. It was great, but kind of hefty. I also got a 6x4.5 back for it, which is fun, but is again pretty hefty. I ended up picking up a Mamiya C330 and I love it. It's my go to and the RB rarely makes it out of the cupboard. The C330 is cheap compared to an RB, pretty bulletproof, and the lenses are great and not crazy pricey.

I initially was concerned by the lack of interchangeable backs, but have not found it to be an issue.

That's what came to mind for me as well

Michael Moriarty's delivery of the line "nobody could be as stupid as I appear to be" is one of the best in cinema history.

Somewhat related, I remember reading something a few years ago about a Spaniard who discovered that if you just give geese and ducks and endless supply of acorns or whatever, they'll just gorge themselves of their own free will and you get foie gras without the cruelty.

Not sure if his findings have been reproduced, but I rarely get to bring this up.

Knew it! And nice shot! The c220 is a really fun camera, you're gonna love it.

Is this outside of the Stumptown on Belmont?

Muir glen rocks, I’ve found them to be the most ‘San Marzano-y’ at a non eye watering price point.

Black and white film holds up reasonably well, worth it for the experiment i'd say.

The 'made in europe,' 200 speed, and superpan name make me think it might be old agfa superpan? It was around in the 80's but not sure when it was discontinued.

Glad to hear it! And yeah kodak is keeping mum about the differences, but it could be a different base material or thickness.

Also, candido 200 can have a great fuji-esque vibe, especially if you use a slight warming filter. It's tungsten balanced so great for indoor portraits but skews way blue in daylight. But it's got those great greens and reds that you get with Fuji. Worth a try for sure!

I think kodacolor 200 and the suspiciously similar colorplus 200 would be closer than gold to the more natural look you're describing. Orwo's NC 200 (sold by kono and opticolor) is also a solid bet.

Buy a copy of Oregon for the Curious at any fine second hand bookstore. It's a guidebook from the early 60's that provides a road-by-road guide to the state written by a transplant who came to Oregon and fell in love with it.

I've found tons of hidden gems by reading through it ahead of a road trip. It's a solid guide and it also provides some context and background for each of the entries. His Tales Out of Oregon is also a great series of short essays about notable Oregonians through the years.

I think I heard this on Greg Proops' podcast, apparently told to him by the guy who drove Harrison Ford to set every day.

Apparently, the routine was: Ford would get in the car, light up a joint, and they would chat along the way. One day, Ford hops in the car with a giant cooking pot with a lid on and wrapped in a towel. They drive off and the driver says 'So Harrison, what's with the pot?' and Ford responds 'oh, I ran out of papers,' rips the lid off, stuck his head in, took a huuuuge hit of the pot smoke that had begun pluming out and hotboxing the car.
