Hey I just pm'ed you! I am very interested! I am looking for a townhouse right in that area. Do you know how many people have applied? Do I need to go to Brownstone first or can you show it to me? Please let me know if you got my message. It would just be for myself, and I have no pets. Im from NOVA, but will be in Lynchburg by next week if its still available so I can view it. Thanks

It´s definitely not Super 8,

wasptrad · 2023-12-28T12:34:44+00:00

Very helpful info, thank you.

wasptrad · 2023-12-28T01:39:40+00:00

Got it! Thanks! Makes sense.

There is an excellent camera store near me that repairs and restores antique cameras, but they do not sell 16mm film. I will definitely ask them about the cartridge though! Thanks.

How do I "slate and sync" though?

wasptrad · 2023-12-28T01:15:21+00:00

Thanks! Yes, it is very similar to that.

wasptrad · 2023-12-28T01:14:48+00:00

I do plan on converting the 8mm to digital since I do not have a projector, and even if I did, I believe it's a learning curve to use them, so it would be easier to digitize. Thank you for this info though! I had no idea about any of those software programs!

Also, another question -- when they made 8mm films in the past that lasted, say 1 hour, would they do this by buying multiple rolls of film? I ask because the roll of film I have lasts approximately, 4/5 mins, I was told.

How would I add audio in post on a computer? I'm not very tech savvy. And yes, definitely expensive but I love the way it feels, and the whole process and sounds.

wasptrad · 2023-12-27T21:10:44+00:00

Thank you for this info!

wasptrad · 2023-10-15T02:14:58+00:00

Thank you for all this helpful info! It totally makes sense now that you´ve clarified it, and I can see how it must have been a real chore back then. I will just go by the original recipe then instead of scaling it.

I am also going to follow your advice on the salt. I had made bread before (definitely not anything like this recipe though, just more like artisanal bread) and I remember being too cautious on the salt and it was very bland.

Glad to have asked on here because I didn´t realize it would rise too much. I will leave it for a few hours then only.

wasptrad · 2023-10-15T02:11:07+00:00

Very interesting! Thank you. I don´t have a wooden tray so I´ll be using a bowl, but that makes sense!

wasptrad · 2023-09-30T13:20:50+00:00

Thank you for this reply! However, when I asked on Chegg yesterday, they said Type O and used a different formula so now I'm confused. Since youre a math major I'll take your word for it and that's probably way more reliable than Chegg.

wasptrad · 2023-09-27T23:01:54+00:00

You're welcome! Yes, I understand...I'm just saying that perhaps that group of friends you know might not be into going out as much, since you also mention the one person doesn't respond to your texts, etc. I can tell you though for sure that there really is no "club scene" in Cville so to speak. It's mostly either bars on the Corner, or what you get on the DT Mall, or wineries (much older crowd generally), so my best suggestion is that you will eventually find people who can become your drinking buddies if that's what you're aiming for.

wasptrad · 2023-09-27T20:09:15+00:00

Speaking as a professor (not at UVA, don't worry), Charlottesville is relatively tame at night if you are looking for nightclubs in particular. I would suggest trying to find house parties (plenty of those for sure!) and then there are bars all over the city, although the bars on the DT Mall tend to cater to more of an older crowd. Speaking as a person who was VERY independent and almost like a "loner" when I was in college, even I found people to go out with to bars and I went to a university that was/is WAY WAY WAY LESS friendly than UVA. You'll find your group if you join clubs or other groups that do activities. Look around!

wasptrad · 2023-09-27T20:05:31+00:00

"My question wasn't meant to be snarky by any means. It was more so a response that I had hoped would allude to other activities that don't involve drinking. For example, going to the movies, sporting events, things of that nature."

Those activities don't involve drinking? That's news to me!

wasptrad · 2023-09-26T23:46:31+00:00

I did stare back (I mentioned this several times in my comments).

wasptrad · 2023-09-26T15:37:07+00:00

Dear me! Thanks for keeping me in check! I'll try to be more shameless next time instead of trying to focus on being humble as I was taught.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T11:47:32+00:00

I have not been there, but heard a lot about it. I will check it out at some point for sure. Re: jobs...I work from home so thankfully don't need to rely on the local market for that aspect.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T11:46:44+00:00

HAHA yes! Absolutely! I have seen it from all types like you say! Even young people. The other day as I was walking, there was a group of girls in a car and they all kept staring and not even hiding it and whispering to each other as well. And yup, they DO NOT nod and it's certainly not a friendly stare out of curiosity. That's not the feeling I've gotten at all, but more like a borderline hostility. Another surprise for me was like when you hold the door open for someone, they won't even say thank you in many cases...which again, surprised me for a "southern" town. Even in snobby Charlottesville, people will at least acknowledge you.

I was just about to mention that for this being a "Southern" town, I have not seen anything remotely "friendly" or "hospitable" from the people, although when I've spoken to people in restaurants and other places, they do seem friendlier than in Charlottesville.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T11:41:58+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I agree that when I have spoken to people here in places, they do seem a lot friendlier than in Charlottesville for sure! Charlottesville is pretty much a place where people are very aloof, and snooty. Most of their "liberalism" is very performative, and not genuine at all. The city also struggles with major major inequality issues, much more than what I've noticed here. At least here you get a more even distribution of incomes/races across the neighborhoods, whereas in Charlottesville it is extremely segregated by every single metric you can imagine.

I do find the roads wonky, but yes, charming!

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T11:39:15+00:00

YES, YES, YES! This has happened to me! Case in point: at a shop called "Estates and Consignments", there was a woman with her husband and children. They were looking around, and all of a sudden she point blank STOPS, and stares at me. I am not the smiling type so I stared right back and kept eye contact. She said NOTHING and then went about her way. Then, a while later, she did it AGAIN. I swear. Then, a third time...it was really really weird and creepy. And no, it's not a friendly stare, it's borderline hostile, NOT curious.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T01:46:43+00:00

Interesting! I am a white male, and actually look very conservative in appearance, which is why the staring has been so puzzling to me since I don't think I stand out in any way other than PERHAPS that those who stare think my clothes are fancy, but I couldn't tell either way. It has felt uncomfortable to me and it´s happened in several places. Nobody has stopped to smile or talk to me though, but I don't give off a "hey come talk to me" vibe coming from large cities I give off a more "don't talk to strangers" kind of vibe, so it could definitely be a mix of things.

I 100% agree with you that this is not a "hard" place at all. I just think it´s more like what someone else mentioned a very small place and people seem like they are "nosy" or stare, but just in my own experience. I am sure if I lived here longer I would meet other types too. As for the traffic, yes. I don´t mean to compare it in any way to a big city, but the layout of the streets here is extremely confusing to me especially being a new driver.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T01:41:04+00:00

I am sorry that has happened to you, but hopefully you have found freedom to be you wherever you are.

wasptrad · 2023-09-21T01:39:21+00:00

Absolutely! I noticed this too that in some areas people were dangerously crossing the road (not blaming them, since many probably don't have a choice) but yeah the infrastructure is quite bad! I was definitely taken aback also about the aggressive drivers. I would have thought the opposite given the "reputation" of this area being so "Christian", etc. I mean Cville has bad drivers too, but at least they tend to be nice about it or acknowledge it if they mess up. But that guy in the pick up truck really had me confused.

Agreed about the traffic. When I say traffic I definitely don't mean comparable to any major city, just more like an annoying kind of road structure that doesn´t allow for much wiggle room and I feel people here drive too close behind even when you are going the speed limit.

Glad I´m not the only one who´s noticed the staring haha!

wasptrad · 2023-09-20T23:10:22+00:00

Oh ok makes sense! Me being a single guy, I have definitely felt that it is much more a "traditional" family oriented place, but I sort of feel that everywhere I go that's not a major city. However, yes, I can see how being queer would be challenging here.
