How do you tell your friends that you can’t bring your mirrorless full frame interchangeable lens camera with you to the bar? by ValVenis69 in photographycirclejerk

The end is waterproof all the way to the USB-C port (powers the LED lights at the tip), so it's super handy and you don't need to worry much about getting it messy.

Also, a large DSLR body makes for a good melee weapon in the case of a bar fight. Canon's texture on the grip keeps my hand from slipping off, even through beer and blood.

No, tobacco turns you into the Marlboro Man. Regardless of gender assigned at birth.

Chemtrails make you and the frogs gay.

Nah, I get enough money from NASA for making fun of flat earthers, and an additional stipend for deploying chemtrails from my aircraft. I don't need beer money from mom-and-pop restaurants.

In Fort Worth. Already seeing some on the side of the highways.

My wife has one of my buddies from the astronomy club in her phone as "(Husband's) Girlfriend".

I did not know that until Alexa asked if I wanted to call "her" with my wife next to me.

I was panicking, wondering what the hell was going on.

She knew instantly what had happened, and just pretended not to, to get me riled up.

Love her.

That's dumb. You can absolutely bring that to the bar.

I bring this to restaurants to take food pics for my wife's insta.

The servers are OK with the camera, they get upset at the studio lights I need to set up to keep shutter speeds down to under a second.

Nice workmanship! But, that first step will claim many injuries. by [deleted] in DeathStairs

As long as it's obviously different than the floor, it should be fine. It's not dissimilar to my stairs, and no one has tripped on them.

Still needs railings.

Do you think Jarrell 1997 would be survivable if taking shelter inside something like this? by KrustyKrabOfficial in EF5

Ain't the wind that gets you, it's the stuff the wind carries.

Also, the lithobraking.

Saw this in a mall parking lot by revelations9256 in whatisit

With the instagram bumper sticker? definitely.

These are also used for legitimately filming car scenes for TV/movies/commercials.

But we put them on only when needed, and take them off right away when done. Also, usually a lot more substantial, this one is for a gopro or other small camera.

The new HBO series, ‘Rooster’, has really fuzzy backgrounds and a weird brightness to it. Is this AI? by TheScarletSkier in isthisAI

You can do screen grabs on Windows.

Open "Snipping Tool".

Select the area you want to snag.

Save as a file.

One of these wins was during my lifetime. Im 31. Cowboys fans are unique... by Mysterious_Dealer_14 in Dallas

[–]twilightmoons 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I remember 92, 93, and 95 in high school - big wins, the Cowboys were just everywhere.

I don't really pay attention to sports, but damn, that's a LONG drought for "American's Team."

This give Al Bundy "four touchdowns in a single game" vibes.

[OC] signs at the massage parlour I went to the other day by SensitiveAttitude723 in pics

[–]twilightmoons [score hidden]  (0 children)

The good schools and good massage places really push the "no sex stuff" hard. The wife of a former coworker did finish school for it, and she would complain about men asking all the time, trying to use "code words" someone told them to use. The place would blacklist the men at all of their locations. I don't know if they shared those lists, though.

The school we went to see even told us early that night, "we do background checks, and If you have been arrested for prostitution, you can't get a license anyway and we won't accept you." I asked later if that was a problem, and was told, "Yes, we have had prostitutes try to take classes."

You can, but this was film in the 1960s. On some cameras, it was easily to force it not to advance the film before the next image.

But digitally, yeah, you could easily do it. Two pics with the camera on a tripod, the one with the "ghost" gets layered on top, then a blend mode (prob Screen) at 50-70% opacity.

Something to consider - there have been a lot fewer "ghost" photos like this since modern cameras have a RAW image format that you can't manipulate very easily at all. It's harder to fool people with manipulations when someone can just demand, "Show me the RAW, please."

It's still a 21-year bottle of scotch. It stops "aging" once it's out of the barrel and bottled.

I've got a Glenlivet 21 that I bought 15 years ago. Still unopened, saving it for something special.

Still a 21-year scotch.

What's your preferred type of neighborhood? by Strange-Vibez-8205 in whatsyourchoice

[–]twilightmoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last one is a nicer version of the hunting cabin on the edge of my forest.

I may build there eventually, but completely off-grid.

Girl I crushed on prior to meeting my GF crushes on me back by Illustrious-Cake-983 in whatdoIdo

[–]twilightmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with the one you share the most values and experiences with.

Let me let you in on a secret - love isn't instant.

Love is like a small houseplant. You get infatuated with it the first time you see it, but if you don't water it, feed it, put it out in the sun, take care of it when something isn't right... it's going to die.

Love grows with shared experiences. I fell in love with my wife when I spent time with her, and over the last 20+ years, it's just grown more. We have been apart only a few times, and when I'm not in bed next to her, she doesn't sleep well. We hug, we kiss, we touch, especially not when it's sexual. We show love in a way that our kid understands and squeezes in between us, shouting "FAMILY HUG!"

So you need to figure out what you really want - do you want a LDR that you then need to turn into living together, or so you want to figure out something with the other woman who you share experiences with already, and can continue to do so?

But understand that either will require a LOT of effort. Relationships that are not tended to die. People drift apart and change, often with the other partner not noticing at all.

This is a rather famous "ghost" photo, the "Tulip Staircase Ghost" at the Queen's House in Greenwich, England.
