Oh no worries, easy mistake, the first page with the rules on is (p)ages away.

I have an ugly mug! I have two of them!

Oh yeah? Well I've got FIVE!

Edit: No ugly mugs were harmed or injured during the process of making this photo.

The last one's right at the top, inside the giant white one. It's a bit hard to spot, but there's definitely five ugly mugs.

We went camping for my birthday.  Here is me after having some cake and eating it too:

My buddy's wife likes bubbles, so she made this rig with two sticks, some string, and a weight.  You dip it into a big bucket of bubble stuff (her own formula), use the sticks to open and close the string, and with a little practice, can create gigantic bubbles.  It was intense.

Here's my son making one:

I feel like it's time to explain as much of my family as I can with one shot. A wedding shot.

This is several members of my family, from left to right:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/ohgod.jpg)

My grandmother, my cousin Cody, my aunt Debbie, my cousin Jessica, and the groom, my cousin Chip. Notice Chip's teeth. None of them are real. This is because Chip drinks beer constantly - even at his own wedding vows - and never brushes his teeth. On the far right, you'll notice a John Deere tractor. More on that later.

What you cannot see in this picture, is that this ceremony is taking placing at the local gun club. Neither can you see the cherry picker, which they said their actual vows on. Neither can you see the truck in which they cooked the chicken for the ceremony - by wrapping it in foil and putting it on the engine, letting the heat cook it through.

What you can see is my cousin. Why, yes, those ARE shotgun shells with flowers in them. The tractor? Why, the theme of the wedding was "John Deere". Note the green dress, and the green and yellow balloons. After the wedding was over, they drove home in this tractor.

This is a summary of my family, in one picture.

Edit: I found a picture of the bride's bouquet, felt I had to share.

Punk houses are the best for breakfast. Vegans and punks are deconstructing and re-examining many societal principles, and reconstructing their lives the ways they want them to be. In doing so, they have discovered that breakfast is bitchin' cool.

Totally. All the punk squats we played at gave us amazing food. That's also why I love it each time we play in Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen, especially on days where Crustina from Nuclear Death Terror is head of the kitchen.

Paella could certainly be filled with langoustines and oysters!
I was watching a Food Network show where someone was just trying all kinds of different paellas from across Spain, and one guy was cooking in a big paellera over a fire and when he had combined everything he took a big twig of rosemary, lit it on fire with the flame, then tossed it on top of the paella and closed the lid so it would just slowly smoke into everything.
That is what I want to do with paella some day.

I actually really like this shot, even though it was about 5 second too early to catch me groping my friend as well. There was another group of people doing similar things right behind the camera. We were having a grope-off, I guess? It was very silly. Too much alcohol, etc.

The Precision is the only way to fly. In typical Fender fashion she's had better luck with the Hwy 1 models than the more pricey Am Stds. Unfortunately the red one just above had to be given back to GC because the neck ramped up. She recorded all the tracks on our 1st rekkid on that one <sniff>. Fortunately she got the black one for nothing because: uber warranty. Also SNAPPY!

Just a heads up - I think pictures of guns are against the rules on this forum. I realise you aren't posting it as a kind of "look at me I'm a psychopath shoot everyone up!" thing, which is what the rule is presumably worried about, but it's best not to risk it I think. A mod might well correct me on this one though :) (Love the ears ;) You should get that done surgically!)
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 20 Oct 2011, 01:28
The forum rules don't mention it (I'll think about that).  However, your memory is correct: unfortunately, when I split this thread down to a practical size, that left behind the introductory post which says:

Some guidelines for newer people/reminders for regulars:
- Photos have to include you in it.  No posting random funny pictures; that's what the Pointless thread is for. (Thanks to Joe for reminding me about this one)
- If the first thing you do when you join the forum is post in here a lot (ie: more than one photo-post per page) then people might get annoyed with you.  Let us get to know you a little first!
- Also, while photodumps are kind of cool if they are about you doing something interesting, please keep it to one or two pics per post.
- Please don't be creepy in this thread.  Giving someone a well-intentioned compliment is one thing, but generally bar posting porn being a total sleaze in this thread is the quickest way to get yourself banned.
- No posting of violence-related material such as guns, knives etc in here please.

I have edited the photo above to remove any emphasis on the gun; but as the picture also hides and distorts the subject's features, it could be considered not to be a picture of them either.  I will think on it, and still may remove the picture completely.

I guess the question is, why do we have that rule? Is it because Jeph doesn't like guns, full stop? Is it because we're worried about glorifying weaponary on a forum that could be accessed by children? Is it because of some American law I don't know about? Personally I find guns disturbing, but I think that's because I'm from the UK and we don't really have them here in the same way so to me, a gun is something alien and terrifying. But that isn't really a reason not to allow someone to post a photo of themselves doing something that is part of their identity.

I'm quite glad I'm not a moderator!
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Carl-E on 20 Oct 2011, 07:16
Nothing about laws, but I think you've hit on the reson - most of the other rules have to do with the annoyance of the viewers, and certainly there's a sector of the population that find weapons of violence disturbing, hence no weapons. 

(Personally, I don't like guns either, but seeing other people's guns (in a non-violent setting) doesn't disturb me.  In fact, I participate in a forum for a zombie comic where talking about one's guns is the norm (the artist is a collector of sorts, and many of the readers are "survivalists" - it's an interesting place...))
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 20 Oct 2011, 07:37
Well, the no guns thing is not in Jeph's rules, but it is in est's. 

In some respects I'm still sorting out in my mind what this forum actually is!  When it was first set up, the people who are now on PocketJury moved in en block  from another forum (this is perhaps simplifying things, but is broadly accurate, I think).  I understand (from messages in the mods-only forum, and from early comic newsposts like #79) that est (perhaps) and another admin who's no longer around, called Heather, actually helped Jeph with some of the server setup.  However, when the rest of that group started using this forum as their home for general socialising, the mods' and admins' extensions of Jeph's rules became necessary to control some of their behaviour, and also to control their interaction with people who actually wanted to discuss the comic.  Now those people have moved on (including all the previously active admin and mods), feeling that after seven years they've outstayed their welcome, the forum is in some ways a blank slate; and so it seems to be up to me, with the aid of any moderators I appoint (only "Is it cold in here?" at present), to define the ethos of this place (Jeph has not yet decided to contribute to this though he must by now be aware of the changes, but obviously I would defer to him if he does).

Three years ago, one mod (Inlander) raised the matter of incomplete rules in the mods' forum, but no one picked it up and nothing was done.  He had received a query about guns, in fact, and had replied:
Quote from: Inlander
Yeah, there are a few informal "rules" that have sprung up in response to certain unforeseen problems or situations that weren't foreseen when the original rules were written. Not posting pictures of (real) guns in the picture thread is one, because somebody did just that once and a lot people got a bit freaked out by it.
Since then, there has been one poster who started and drove discussions of guns in the Discuss! forum, and again annoyed a lot of people (he got banned in the end). 

My notes on the rules (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,27423.msg1056736.html#msg1056736) is intended to be the necessary extension of Jeph's rules, gathered into one place, and I have added a sentence about guns to it, alongside the prohibition on religion and politics (another thing that people ask about because it's not in Jeph's rules), and worded it so as not to prohibit photos in which the gun is incidental.  In the end, though, it comes down to the discretion of me and the mods - we try to be reasonable, while also maintaining standards.

@Wraith11B:  Don't worry about the face thing - what you say makes sense.

5 1/2; his sister is 3.  I doubt they did anything at Halloween; they weren't so well last week, and their (American) mother is in South America being strangled by John Malkovich again.  They live in Germany, where I don't think Halloween is so big.

It was basic campfire sing-a-long stuff.  A bunch of Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver... stuff that old farts like myself who grew up in the 70's would know.  Progressions were were simple (lots of A, D, G, and other guitar-friendly chords) so whipping up a countermelody, taking a solo (since no one else wanted to) and/or adding a well-known hook line wasn't a biggie.  Pretty amateur stuff, but it was fun.

501, it is the class we have together.  It is one of the mandatory classes for my degree and it is 90% a group project so everyone has a 501 group.

I thought there was no such thing as "a durum," I thought that's the type of bread kebabs are wrapped in.

And I didn't call it kebab, I called it a gyro!

Making a living professionally modelling is very different from what I mean when I use the term "camwhore" and really, I don't think the photo I took fits it either. It's not like taking a photo in the bathroom mirror making a pouty face just for the sake of taking a photo of yourself. :-P

I would say the intent to make an interesting photo for purposes and shows something other than, "Look at me. Ain't I attractive?"

Also I suppose making money from it, probably regardless of intention, in that it's become their profession.

what gauge and metal type for the helmet, does it have a complete leather suspension system or just the chin-strap?
Flattened and alternating riveted/solid wedge-riveted rings with 17 gauge mild steel wire.  Rings are about 9mm diameter.

And the helmet has the leather lining suspension.  16 gauge steel.  It's actually more massive than it appears in the pic; if the liner's wide open, the helmet sits low enough for the noseguard to be below my chin.  I packed the upper inside of it with leather for a more stable fit.  Weighs a tad more than a Kevlar helmet.

Hello photo thread, it's been a while! Since we last met, I've been a busy lad. One night before winter finally really hit, some buds and I did a stupid stache night out, and this was my entry:

Then a little before New Year's I played a gig with my friend and not-yet bandmate Matt, who is a fucking champion. I am the one in the amazing hat:

OK, so techinically it's not a photo, but it is  me.  And it's not new, it's been around for about two years (I think), but I just came across it again.  It's from the webcomic Simply Sarah (http://www.drunkduck.com/simply_sarah/), she said she was going to have some walk ons, and would anyone like to be in a webcomic?  I sent headshots, and she made me a used car salesman...

And here's a promo photo we took about 2 hours before our set

This one shows you a bit more of the atmosphere of the show; this was during the one cover song we did (as well as the only song I sang), "Twist and Shout"

That was the song that really got the night going, too, everybody loves the Beatles! The bass belongs to my best friend, he's loaning it to me since he can't bring it with him while he's in the Air Force (he brought his Jazz Bass with him since it's a lot more sturdy and durable than, say, a hollowbody bass, although McCartney's has lasted him for decades).

Nothing in music is original anymore. Same with art. Not saying that people aren't creative, but chances are that whatever is "new" references something else and is by no means going to be a new revolution because it's already been done before.

That sounds really pessimistic, but when you're talking about the rules of music, it's all been done. It may sound different, but there's something in it that has been done before.

Idunno, I never heard of the Beatles singing at a cymbal and close-miking both so that the cymbal would provide a natural reverb. That's part of how I spent my day. I also never heard of them using reverb tanks as percussion, or weed grinders for that matter. They also never played a stylophone or used a megaphone to process vocals. Or taken a complete "I have no idea what I'm doing" take of a trumpet (we really didn't know what we were doing) only to use it prominently at the end of a song.

There's still plenty of things the Beatles never tried, people are just too timid to do it because they (perhaps self-consciously) think the Beatles invented the universe. They didn't, they just made it worth me living in it.

Here's me and Kabir at our last show as Injun Magic. We're not breaking up, I just finally managed to get him to agree to change that stupid name. I'm finally sick enough of hearing about how much the name sucks to start caring.

I don't think Linds was saying that the Beatles have done everything there is to do. She was just saying that everything is a development from something that has been done before and nothing is totally new. Which I agree with, regardless of your weed grinder percussion.

Yeah, that's what I meant. And weed grinder could be similar to Cage's vegetables in a blender I guess.

Anywho, Pat, I am really glad you are changing your band name. Because it is. So. BAD.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Patrick on 06 Mar 2012, 11:29
We're changing it for a reason: I finally managed to convince Kabir that it's not polite to use a band name that contains the racial slur "Injun". It's pejorative against the aboriginal folk of America. He just thought it was cute because he's Indian, as in, India.

I was in this choral festival over the weekend.  Dress code for guys was suit and tie.  Black bow tie, to be exact.  I had to buy one.

This was obviously something that needed to be preserved for posterity.

Yes, it's March and there's still a Christmas wreath on the wall, and my house is a mess.  It's a nice wreath, and we're kinda lazy.

If you look really hard, you can see me, but you still can't tell that I'm just wearing black jeans with a suit coat.  We were there all day, and I was gonna be comfortable, dammit.

Nice! 

We do a choral thing at the cathedral every christmas, and I had to buy a bow tie a couple of years ago.  I have an old flat-pleat tux shirt with a wingtip collar that I wear with it, under a black suit whose jacket is much like your own. 

No pics, though. 

Oh, and don't feel bad - we almost  have Christmas packed up, and one of these days I'll get the lights off the front porch...

My student still has his Christmas tree up. I am chalking it up to a failure on my part to explain the concept of Twelth Night properly. But perhaps he just likes the christmas pig/bear/dog card that he stuck on top in lieu of a star.

That just reminded me of a cool story. A friend of mine was pretty bummed out last year - he had a marathon scheduled on the same day as a Frank Turner concert that he'd bought tickets to. He'd been training for the marathon for ages, and because of geography, couldn't do both. So he gave his sister his tickets, in she went in his stead. Anyway, that night his phone starts ringing. Unknown number. He answers the phone, and on the other end of the line is a voice belonging to Frank Turner, who says that he just rang up to congratulate him for finishing the marathon. Turns out, his sister had bumped into Frank after the show, and explained how bummed her brother was about not being able to go.

Also, The Ballad of Me and My Friends, fuckers.

Dude can be from England and not be singing english folk music! I've never heard of folk punk either. Remember that what America calls folk music is more like what England calls country music - english folk is a totally different tradition.

...yyeeeeeaaaaaahhh, folk music's a different ball o' wax entirely.  Too many people label siger-songwriters as folk musicians.  They are not  the same, although there's overlap, as with all genres.  Woody Guthrie springs to mind - everything he wrote souded like it had been around forever. 

English folk makes me think of Child ballads.  And my entry into them, through Steeleye Span. 


Now, where did I put all those old records?

Back in highschool I used to do archery (there is no proper verb form). I was really into it for a few years and my dad got all excited that his bookish, unmanly son was interested in a sport and he bought me a really nice bow and a bunch of gear. Last few weeks I've been getting back into it and the other day I managed to drive down to the Olympic Park and practise with the new gear I'd bought.

Nice. (Shame about that one in the black.) I'd wish my dad bought archery gear for me, but I'm more glad he doesn't advocate the stereotypical view of manliness, on account of being a massive nerd - just like me. I did an introduction course to archery once as well, but after the initial lessons were over, the archery club did require you to buy your own bow, which we couldn't afford at that time. Still, I walked away with some good lessons, and it was pretty fun.

We had some bows as kids, my two brothers and I. I thought they were the coolest things.

But I was and probably am still so weak that I couldn't pull the strings of the bows and instead of helping me my dad just did that "well hahahahahaha you suck because you're a girl" thing. so.

I got back at him by being the awesome kid.

I'll have to dig it out this summer... don't know where I'll fire it, though.

You know what I had in HS PE? Running. We ran. Everyday. Into eternity. Which is probably why they didn't bother making you go passed the 10th grade. Then we just had like higher level pe that was optional and was still just running.

For PE in my school I just had irrational fits of rage and sulked behind the bleachers a lot.

Post by: Kenyahp on 23 Mar 2012, 10:44
My teacher would try to make me and my friends do stuff. He'd look at the three of us, tell us to stretch and start running. We'd look back, say no, and that was that. Still got an A. I think the pure boldness made him not hate us?

I was also moody. Still am. Unfortunately, my friends would have looked behind the bleachers. Misery loves company.

I never got why my high school PE teachers were always so emotionally invested in making people who didn't want to play sports, play sports. It's not like they were ever actually teaching us anything. They just picked a sport, and we had to play it for a while or else. Why, Mr. [NAME OMITTED], is it so important for you that I play football? WHY?

There was one kid that was a little bitch in my PE class in 9th grade. During the hot months (in Arizona, no less) on Fridays we would all have to do a mile on the track then we got to go chill in the pool for the rest of class. No hard exercise, just playing in a pool. This one fucker would take like 18-20 minutes to walk the mile, even when more than half the class (everyone had already finished) went back and urged him to jog the last 100 feet or so to at least try and improve his time and get us into the goddamn pool faster. He just said no in this super snappy tone and so we all stopped liking him at all after he did it 2-3 weeks in a row.

Like, even the dude who was crazy overweight and was taking the class because you have to would jog in the last bit.

One of my middle school gym teachers assumed that everyone knew how football worked, and just rattled off some stuff about what counted as a down. He was incorrect, so in addition to not being too good at throwing or catching, I had no idea what the rules or objectives were. Fun times.

After going through this thread I have reached the conclusion that I must have the most uninteresting life ever. Band singers, choral festivals, Halloween madness, models, the whole gamut of lifestyles. You people are crazy! And I mean that in the exciting, 'I want to move to where you are' kinda way. (Also, this small cross-section seems to suggest that the QC readership is mostly comprised of white late-twenties). Anyone not from the US here? I wonder what the results of a poll would reveal about the demographics of QC readers.

Me looking stoned without being stoned. Actual camwhoring here, but it's one of the only pictures I have of myself so not sure if that really counts. (I hate photos cos I'm horribly unphotogenic in most circumstances)

Will check out this Frank Turner dude. In turn I recommend Amanda Palmer and The Dresden Dolls (her band but she's also a solo artist). Incredible stuff.

PS: If someone can tell me how to shrink photos I will give them a free hug. =)

demographics of QC readers.

I guess that this forum has a majority of people in their 20s from the US; but there are a lot from Britain as well, and from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, and elsewhere.  Also people of all ages: there are active contributors who are teens and a couple in their 70s.  This all reflects reasonably well the readership of the comic as Jeph has remarked on it in the past.

Well it's good to know we're such a diverse bunch, even if it is largely limited to the western sphere (which is to be expected, given that this is an English-language comic). I was just surprised that there weren't more from Asia, Africa and such, considering that QC is likely the largest/most popular/famous webcomic currently running (I realise that this may be wrong, but if so, what IS the most popular webcomic out there?).

A Viking shield I'm making.  The background was later painted in a cadmium red, but under certain light it looks almost orange, so I might repaint it in a darker red.  The only thing keeping me from doing that is that it took almost an hour to edge the jörmungandr before taking a larger brush to the shield.

I was a newspaper reporter when the local cable channel asked me to interview an author. The interview went well enough, but when I watched it, I saw myself wrinkling my nose, far too often. It's not ordinarily a nervous habit, but it was for the duration of that interview.
And yes, a casual observer might see me check my fly on the way into a building. Or at least look down at my fly. But that's a good response to getting more forgetful about it in the last 10 years. Women in my workplace, I recall, were often looking down at themselves. At what, I don't think I ever learned, or even asked about.

Well one of us has the hair, the other wears hats. But the corset definitely looks better on her than I. It is a shame that pic is not very good. The whole outfit is a hoot. But once I get the pics back from Mike I'll post (probably too many of) them.

Taken at an SCA coronation this weekend. I'm the new chronicler for our kingdom so I had to dress up a bit. Yes, I'm wearing crushed velvet, a big no-no, but I'm working on getting proper garb... I've been dieting (yay!) and I'd like to get to a more ideal weight before I drop that kind of money on a new garb wardrobe. For now, it's all loaner items.

I wish I could've gone as the Viking (to ravish the wenches, of course :evil: ), but the GA Faire doesn't allow weapons other than swords and daggers :-(

Disallowing spears/polearms and firearms I can understand (too easy to take out a lot of people with a polearm if you turn around quickly, and you can't easily tell with firearms if they're real or not...), but not allowing maces and axes as well?  Draconian... :?

 :-D

I think the people who wear plate (like...real plate armor, not the plastic stuff) at ren fairs are a little crazy, mostly because I think they would be too hot to enjoy anything. Also it's all heavy and stuff, not that chainmail isn't. Though I have seen some guys make really fantastic leather armor and wear it and I am always jealous. Also one dude had a magnificent set of wood armor (he was an elf, not really renaissance, but still cool) that I pined over.

Personally, the things I'll be making for the ren fest will be more medieval, but I do not have skills to make an Elizabethan dress. This (http://butterick.mccall.com/b4827-products-6120.php?page_id=385) I can handle, but this (http://www.simplicity.com/p-1547-costumes.aspx) is way beyond me.

Actually! Plate armor that is made to fit the wearer (as all plate armor of the period was) is not as heavy as one would think. It was generally 18-22g steel and had many arming points to relieve the weight.
Chainmail rests solely on the shoulders and generally a belt is worn to help mitigate the weight but plate often weighs less than chain.

^this

Defensive technology is always behind offensive technology.  And "more prominent" usage is not the same a "common" usage.  Most people were still getting hit with blades in battle (or cannonballs/grapeshot/shrapnel, but what're ya gonna do?), so chain was still being used quite a bit through the renaissance. 

Not by the wealthy, mind you...

Not only that, but true plate armour weighs about a third less then the equipment carried by modern soldiers on their back. The modern interpretation of plate armour comes from Hollywood, where they would used Jousting armour, a type that was meant to be heavy and reinforced, as it was supposed to used for safety. Most of whom wore plate were trained to do so from childhood, meaning that they were gradually used to it, as opposed to people who wear nowadays who aren't necessarily used to it. And, there are books and reports of plate being highly mobile, with many knights able to run over significant distances, swim in full armour, as well as performing backflips from a height.

True that. My vambraces and cuisses are made with 18g and 16g steel respectively and they weigh basically nothing.

Third date I had with my girlfriend, we made sushi. Right before an unfortunate incident with a blob of wasabi, I was impressing her with my skills with chopsticks, despite the fact I had never used them before XD

Anyway, some scenic photos from when I was in Finland over Easter.
The view from the bar of the Hotel Torni, which, while no longer the tallest building in Helsinki, is the highest bar in the city. (I made the mistake of wearing a short sleeve shirt with a t-shirt underneath it. Very chilly. And this coming from someone who loves the cold.)

And then on Easter Sunday, my girlfriend and I went for a walk around and on a lake. (Lots of jokes were made about walking on water....with a loud crack as the ice shifted as the punchline)

To be fair, the ice was about a foot and a half thick, with the thaw about a month away, so we were safe enough. But then again, as someone whose main experience with ice is the cubes I pour a drink over, I wasn't 100% comfortable with walking on the ice as each shift of the ice had me thinking "WTF!?!?!?!?CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!" Still walked along though, nice day too.

When I lived in Albania I used to spend summers working in Alaska, and wound up dating this awesome girl there. One February I was able to come visit. It would snow a lot, but some days it would warm up so much that the snow would melt just enough to turn into thick, hard ice by nightfall.

One day we were walking home from the grocery store, and my girlfriend at the time slipped, fell, and broke her left wrist (she's a lefty, and an artist too).

I don't fucks with no ice.

Fun fact: less awesome playing and sounding than that light yellow Squier. Dead serious. The only thing I like more about the Fender is that color and the fact that the knobs turn easier. *sigh*

My band had a show today in the middle of downtown Livermore. Since this town is kinda a shithole of white suburbia, we did a mega pisstake on all the old men walking around in Hawaiian shirts. You can't see it here but Matt (left) upped the ante by wearing socks and sandals.

Move over, doombilly...


Once a month, the department has a "bow tie day".  Our department chair wears 'em, along with vests. fedoras, and he collects and uses fountain pens.  He thought it would be a fun way to promote unity in the department. 

More and more of the department joins in each month.  I'm at a branch campus, but no reason I couldn't join in!

In response to Patrick: The singer playing harmonica in the wrong key and me mouthing "what the fuck" at him.
I will never understand why he decided to do that.

So maybe he was trying to get the two of you to bend?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Carl-E on 07 May 2012, 13:58
There's bending, and then there's the wrong damn key.  Does he have more than one harmonica?  Maybe he grabbed the wrong one.  Unless it's chromatic, he's stuck. 

Or an idiot.

Geez, I thought it was a joke. TBH, I own a few harmonicas but never learned to play blues, never learned to bend at will, never put in the time to learn. My choir partied a lot in the 70s and 80s and went across the street to a bar after rehearsals, and when we started to sing -- Country Roads was sort of a theme song -- I'd ask the guitar player what key she was in.

Probably singing, that was taken at a cantus, which for those of you who have no idea of the concept is just a bunch of students drinking and singing in a semi-ritualised fashion. It's a pretty interesting phenomenon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantus
It is interesting; I'd never heard of this. It immediately brought to mind Brahm's Academic Festival Overture, and a historic Detroit MI building, the Harmonie Club, which used to house a German ground founded around singing.

Not Beatles, but yeah - definitely reminiscent of the late '60's-early '70's.  Something I really would've appreciated back in the 80's when it came out.  Considering the music circles I hung out in back then, I was just surprised I'd never heard of them.

I warmed to country and bluegrass, a little, over the years with my Nashville-born wife, after Clara proposed to me on our first date and I rejected her because of her presumed rural upbringing and musical tastes. I never warmed enough to ragas even after 20 months in India, although I still enjoy the sound track to the Satyajit Ray Pather Panchali trilogy. Clara and I came late to opera, and that taste is still developing. It's apt to slow without her or another companion to attend Met Live in HD performances.

But I mean, people will do weird things sober or not. I knew a guy who would take his shirt off every time he could (photos, just because it'd be funny, etc.) and he doesn't drink. But I know people who get drunk and that's when the weird comes out, so yeah. I mean, I dunno, but that guy totally butt bombed the photo and it's funny either way.

In that photo which doesn't include the birthday boy, who doesn't drink, only four including myself drink. I'm not even a big drinker and one other isn't either so we won't miss it at a party. The other drank at the going out part.

That looks great! I've been considering a radical chop, my hair has been long for such a long time now that I feel anxious about it but it's heavy and warm, which is likely to be an issue this summer. Might wait til I get to the States and see if I think it's worth it for the drop in temperature.

If this summer will be anything like last summer (which it's looking like it will be), it's going to be really freaking hot. Ft. Wayne is not in a valley like Cincinnati is, so that might help a little, but I remember coming back from vacation in Florida and watching the thermostat in the car go up as we went north instead of going down like it should have. (It was easily 10+ degrees F hotter in Kentucky and Ohio than it was down south.) Indiana usually has similar weather to here, just less humid (stupid valleys), but I remember thinking I was nuts for growing out my hair again last year.

And ^ what she said. Even in the northern states (I think you said you'll be up north mostly?) it just gets ugly in the summer. You may want to consider getting your hair thinned out a bit even if you don't get it chopped, or be prepared to ponytail it!

You could also have it thinned out a bit? I don't know if that's just something people do with shorter hair, but my stylist would go in with a razor and cut some areas of my hair a little shorter, like underneath the outermost layer of hair (if that makes sense). It helped quite a bit.

Becky (is that the right spelling?), I'll be in the east coast as far south as Washington DC in July, then in Indiana for the rest of the summer. I wear my hair up all the time anyway and it's warm here - I think today's high was 22 celcius, which is about 70 Fahrenheit. I suspect it will be warmer there. Argh.

It's been in the 80s (around 24 C according to weather channel) lately, but it's going to be up in the 90s by the weekend. So...it's going to be hot. I mean worse comes to worse, you just get your hair trimmed while you're with Edith if need be. Or just spend most of your time inside or at the pool like I do when it's hot. :)

It really is amazing how lovely a cold floor can be in gross temperatures. The cat has been spending all of her time sprawled on our tile kitchen floor. It's been fairly steady temperature-wise the past week but it's been SO humid. At least it almost feels like Spring/Summer though...the weather here has been very indecisive. It's not unusual for us to experience the sensation of all four seasons in one week.

Guys it gets up to 45 C (~115 F) here in Livermore during parts of the summer, no joke. I cut my hair off after it was past my shoulders, as you've seen, and it's about 2" long now. DEFINITELY the best idea for temperature control. Thinking about cutting it again soon, in fact.

Linds,  Motherplucker.com (don't go to the plural version of that URL). Shipping from CA to NC was outrageous! Those were a custom order. She put that outfit together herself and did have a hand in the wing design. Mike really did a great job on these pics. Now I gotta sell a kidney or something to pay for his work. He took a load more but I think that's enough of teh photodump for May.

I was teensy- 5 lbs, 6 oz when I was born. Also about a month premature. And apparently I was "quick" to do everything else too. I spoke fairly early and remember my mom telling me that even before I started school, I "read" bedtimes stories instead of her because I memorized them. Of course now, I can't remember crap.  :-P

I guess technically, my first time speaking was a sentence. "Hi Daddy"

Funny, my mom says the exact same thing about me. I had my favorite bedtime story memorized as well, so it was basically me telling them to my mom.

She also tells me that I started reading before starting school because of the TV guide. Toddler me sees my dad looking at a booklet, who says "oh, this is on TV", at which point he turns on the TV and lo, it is as he says. MAGIC. Toddler me demanded to know how he did that, and so was taught to read.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Elysiana on 21 Jun 2012, 07:37
Heh, thanks everybody ^_^

Mac babbles a lot and we can tell she has her own words for a lot of things (wtf is dockadoo?), but right now there are only a handful we recognize. Her favorite word right now is "hey". Someone walks in the room - "Hey! Heyyy! Hey! Heyyyyyyy! Heyyy!" She says "whoa" when she drops something or falls down, and she says "oh yeah!" when she's excited about something. She also knows nie-nie (night-night), bah (ball), bot (bottle), mama, dada/deedah, mum-mum-mum (nom-noms, what we call solid food), and grah (granny, grandma, or granddaddy). She even came out with the full "grah-dah-dee!" one day.

She nods her head, which we're figuring out means both "yes" and "I like this" - either way she recognizes that head-nodding is a positive reaction. Luckily she hasn't learned to say "no" yet, though she definitely knows what it means! She dances any time any music comes on... or when we sing or drum on something... or just when she feels like it. And a few days ago she was trying to jump. Physical skills are definitely her forte!

Yes, I'm a first-time mom, how could you tell.

Apparently I preferred to say "yes" rather than "no" when I was little. One time I got hurt badly enough that my parents took me to the emergency room, and the injury - I wrenched my arm, maybe? - looked like possible abuse to the doctors, so they tried to ask me questions... Did someone hurt you? Yes! Did your parents do this to you? Yes! Have they ever hurt you before? Yes! I want to say I was about 18 months, which seems rather young to be trying to question a kid, but it all got sorted out.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Carl-E on 21 Jun 2012, 22:35
Oh, lord... that reminds me of our adventurous (and consequently accident prone) daughter and her frequent visits to the emergency room for the oddest injuries.  I also remember the one where, after the nurse looked at us oddly (it was the fifth visit in three months), we insisted that she tell the nurse what happened herself.  I think she was 5, explaining how she cut her foot falling of the top of a fire hydrant. 


The nurse's reactions were always the same as ours;  "...and what were you doing on top of a fire hydrant?"

Or the stiches that put the inside of her cheek back; "...how did the cat's paw get inside your mouth again?" 

Or the broken wrist; "...why were you doing a handstand in the bathtub?" 




You have some fun ahead of you, Elysiana...

Yeah, the whole album concept got messed up. I told Maria I wanted her "in a corset with two big WANGS."
I guess it was the southern accent messing things up.

Blood of unknown origin would be the most metal.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: BeoPuppy on 05 Jul 2012, 09:28
Depends on the type of metal. Nu-metal demands blood mixed with tears both from self-harm. Thrash asks for moshpit-mishap blood. Death metal ... maybe the blood of society wrung from it by evil corporations. Black metal ... well, vampire blood, or maybe the blood of a really frisky nun, or something. Real metal ... virgin blood or possibly blood gotten out in battle (usually the same thing) ... Folk metal must be the blood gotten from fingers cut on those fucking mandolin strings ...

Something.

Vampire blood would be gothic metal, surely. For black metal, you need a goat's blood. And for viking metal it'd have to be the blood of a Christian.

It looks like the URLs you inserted are for the webpage the images are on and not direct links to the images.  You want a URL that ends in .jpg (or another image type).  You can usualyt find that URL by right clicking on a photo and selecting "copy image url" though I think Flikr has that disabled.  It looks like you can get the URL you need from the "share" menu above the photo.

That; and you've set the images to be not downloadable, so I can't change to a hotlink or rehost them for you - so I've changed the links to be visible as such.

EDIT - OK, I managed to dig out the hidden links (obviously it can't be made impossible, because the browser has to get the pictures to display them, but they do try to make it hard!)

I think I'd ask what she likes to read first. But she is a beauty! Notice that your fashion changed over the years as well, or is that attributable only to the difference in your role?
And how did you tease out the url from those photos? Difficult to explain?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 02 Aug 2012, 23:32
My role, curiously, was the same; my step-daughter-in-law's family had disowned her (specifically for marrying my step-son), so I filled the function of the bride's father throughout, including the speech at the reception.  Her mother made it to the church, which was a bit awkward.  My difference in style was more a matter of what my daughter wanted - it was the first time I've worn a waistcoat since 1963, when the late Queen Mother visited my school and the senior scholars had to wear court dress.

On May's pictures, I used the Firebug extension in Firefox to look at the Javascript in the page with the picture on.  This is unformatted, but Firebug tidies it up enough to find the url; The equivalent in Opera (Butterfly, which is built in, not an addition) doesn't do the reformatting.  I think to get a larger size, I would have to add something to the url, which the Javascript would do, but I'd have to decode the whole lot to work out what that was (though once done, always remembered, of course!).
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Redball on 03 Aug 2012, 07:10
I applied Firebug and muddled through until I found a .jpg. Posting photos here has been a problem for me.

In an Army barracks in South Dakota in the late 1950s, a buddy and I stayed up late one night going through magazines such as Life and Time, looking at photos and ads (adverts?) of women and characterizing each as "cute", "pretty" or "beautiful." I can't imagine I'd apply the same standards now I did 50-plus years ago, but your daughter is clearly a beauty, your stepdaughter-in-law was certainly cute.

I don't always fly, I will be back in the U.S of A one day, and Nobo, dude, I became a student and got all lazy and stuff. Plus I've spent the last year living on a sofa bed or on futons without a gym membership.

But I'm about to move into a nice big attic room with my weight set and chin up bar and maybe I'll get back to being all manly and strong (or at least less wobbly)?

I hear ya. I went into college weighing about 175 lbs. Then 5.5 years later I left at a solid 250 lbs. I wish I had taken advantage of all my free time and the free gym, but alas beer and unlimited buffet style lunches and dinners every day did me in.

TLDR, don't be me.

I've been getting my gym'n'swim on for the last six months in a big way.  Haven't lost much in terms of weight because I've put on a decent amount of muscle (not that visible really, I just had fuck all muscle beforehand haha!), but I feel a lot healthier than I ever have.  I've started calorie-counting this last week and realised just how much I was eating before.  I was looking through my old photos on facebook and ended up making this:

I admittedly picked a very unflattering old photo there; although it was from 2008, I looked more or less like that (maybe a little thinner, but not by much) up until this year.

If I can attend next year, I'll be the photographer, since I expect to have zerozipzilch familiarity with the games. Haven't learned a card game since Canasta, haven't played board games since Monopoly and Parcheesi and no experience at all with role playing games.

The cool thing about GenCon is that people explain the rules to you for game demos and will play with you in case you have questions. Also there's a game library to test games on your own, which is nice if it's similar to another one you've played, but can be tricky if it's not. (One we tried to play we barely understood, but the rest were fine.) And the events tell you how much experience is required, so there's always an opportunity to find games you've never played before that are geared for new players.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 21 Aug 2012, 13:06

Yeah and state law requires that I get a 30 minute break and two 15 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift. The number of times I get those breaks I can count on one hand.
Mostly its that I wake up right before I need to leave for work and I don't get home until almost midnight. But I still won't be registered to vote by then.

Don't want to double post, even though it's ages apart, but I want to show off my new dress! (And my old shoes, and the fact I have the confidence to post a full body photo on the internet now.)



The only thing that bugs me is it has weird built-in padded cup things. I don’t need any padding and there’s no support in them to go braless, so with a bra the material stretches and you can see the cups. Ah well.

Welu, you look really nice! I think cups like that can be removed, but you have to find someone to open up and then resew part of the bodice. I don't know how the inside is constructed but it shouldn't be too hard.

Woohoo Linds! Congrats!  :-D The wedding planning world is fun, exciting, scary and annoying all at the same time. :-P My best advice to you- avoid The Knot like the plague and check out Offbeat Bride. The awesomeness in that community is unmatched. Except maybe by the awesomeness here.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Lines on 11 Oct 2012, 11:38
I've heard good things about Offbeat Bride and the only good thing I've heard about the Knot was a free planner book that a friend got. Besides, it's a traditional wedding-type place and I am not a very traditional girl.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 11 Oct 2012, 12:09
What's the advantage of some kind of wedding planner group or consultant or book, as opposed to simply doing it yourself? I would imagine it'd help you make sure you didn't forget anything, but I think I'd feel under pressure to DO EVERYTHING GO GO GO.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Lines on 11 Oct 2012, 14:35
It's a book where you keep everything, but like specifically for your wedding. Like a daily/weekly/monthly calendar book with slots to put phone numbers for all the people involved, pick up dates, etc. Not a book that tells you what you should do. I kind of know what I want to do already, I don't need a person for that.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Papersatan on 11 Oct 2012, 16:33
The worst thing about planning my wedding was people expecting me to know what I wanted.  It is good you have that sorted.  I felt like, if I gave the florist my colors (in the form of swatches of fabric) and told you what sort of bouquets/arrangements I wanted I should have been good, but she wanted me to pick the actual kinds of flowers.  The baker wanted me to pick exactly how the cake would look and so on and so on.  I didn't care.  The few things I cared about I was stern on, but the rest, what am I paying you all this gd money for if I still have to make the decisions?

I can honestly say that's the first time someone has ever told me they love my hair. Although I can't really tell if you're joking (not that it would hurt my feelings). It's just a standard military 'high & tight' although I have a habit of pushing the maximum length for the top. They won't let me do a mohawk D:

I've ended up going through a bunch of my old pictures. So, huge post incoming.

at ten:

at eleven:
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC09570.jpg)
I was wearing fezzes before fezzes were cool.

At twelve I got glasses and a cat which I named Awwdabooboo:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC08039.jpg)

the next few years resulted in me wearing a lot of black and being awkward and tall:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/EdtheGiant.jpg?t=1352489950)

I wore flip flops a lot. More than anyone ever should:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/11.jpg)

I found a car at some point:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/iPhotoiPhoto-mailtmp-0.jpg?t=1352490856)

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/iPhotoiPhoto-mailtmp-02.jpg?t=1352490856)

Just a few days after I turned 16. My mother threw me out of the house; this is me in a greyhound station.

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC01099.jpg)

I ended up moving back to Tennessee after that.

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC05383.jpg)

I lost weight after moving back to New York around seventeen. I tried to spend time with family:

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC01545.jpg?t=1352492329)

I was in a band at some point.

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DSC01967.jpg)

At some point, I just ended up looking sad in every picture. I was still living with my father.

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/Photo46.jpg)

I cut my hair off, and started living as a girl just after my 20th birthday.

(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/12-30-10_2233.jpg)

I lost about 80 pounds all in all.

(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g387/YunaCorne/Photo2.jpg)

I moved to Washington, where I grew my hair out again.

(http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/375893_348939135192874_1035710375_n.jpg)

I got stabbed in the face not too long ago, and then in a fit of drunken pique, I cut my hair off. Results!

because she's a crazy bitch

she hears voices she attributes to god (which apparently told her I was going to kill her in her sleep), and looking back at how all of my interactions with her have gone I have zero doubt in my mind that she's borderline. she's done the same thing to my brother and also to my step-father.

ETA: I meant to caption this but posted and ran off and forgot. I've started wearing makeup again for the first time in a long time; I got tired of people asking me why my face was red. It's rosacea or something, I dunno. I do feel better about myself when I wear makeup though. The shirt is one I designed for our poker company, pretty pleased with it. Also, this is one of the first pics of me in a long time that I've felt okay with posting as-is. I used to Photoshop myself down a size or two. Losing thirty pounds has made a world of difference.

I didn't say I feel old, I said that the idea of getting older terrifies me. I'm young. I recognise this fact as true. But that doesn't stop the years from having passed by so goddamn fast that I feel like I'm hurtling towards death, that I could die at any moment, and I still haven't done a single thing I'm really proud of. I feel like I've barely survived, that I've somehow managed to half-crawl, half-drag myself to where I am today, and it can all be taken away in a single moment.

...wait, am I having a midlife crisis? I'm too young for this shit!

In the Disney photos? It's a pin lanyard. One of the 'must-do's' of Disney parks is collecting pins. Buy a starter set, and then trade the stock pins for all the cool unique ones that the staff have. I collect mostly Stitch pins. The three most visible ones on the R2-D2 hat photo are: a Stitch head, a maple leaf Mickey, and a 2010 year pin. I also try to snag a year pin for every year I visit, which is '10 and '12 so far. Never thought I'd be one to enjoy Disneyworld (largely because of the crowds, and not a big Disney fan), but it's actually pretty awesome.

Aw thanks then. They swapped my dingy white cast for a blue one. Too soon to go free arming it. That means 1 more show (http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/illicitizen/shows/new-york-ny-ottos-shrunken-head-nov-25-2012/945164) with castyMcCasterson. S'posed to come off before the next one (http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/illicitizen/shows/new-york-ny-wicked-willys-dec-5-2012/935780). At least I'm on the blue squad of customer service at work so +5 points for my team every Thursday. Life has definitely taken a strange turn. Not sure if we give too much of a dang or too little. I'm pretty sure it only matters to us. Heh. Big pond up here and all. Anyway, here's a pic from June when both arms worked but my guitar did not.

Come on now get on that with a wool dress, get some period shoes (vikingleathercrafts.com) with wool socks (the socks are hidden they can be modern). Get yoself a nice lined wool cloak.

Actually if you are interested I have a friend who makes really really good garb for fairly cheap. I picked up a cloak for my lady for $60 (normally they're a bit more but she has budget fabric sometimes).
Her website is www.tailoredtunics.com
I guess you could let her know that Rafiq sent you there too.

Thanks guys :) This truly was the first DL pic I've gotten where I wasn't like "... the hell, guys? Why didn't you tell me I was making that face?" It's also, I think, one of the better photos of me in general... dunno what that says...

And Jace - I know, I know! Money's tight right now but I think I'm going to have to pick up at least one other piece because we have an A&S event in two weeks. But I mean - I'm in Alabama, it really doesn't get cold enough for us Meridians to own much cold-weather garb! It was especially embarrassing this weekend though because (as the tabard denotes) I was heralding so I was conspicuous all day long... plus I'm kind of a Greater Officer so I gotta get something nicer >_< I did change for court, at least. Aaaanyway - I bookmarked that site, she really does have good prices. Thanks!

Not as flattering a pic, but here's me doing my thing (sort of - I'm not a herald, I was just helping yell schedules):

The thing I really like about Ilsa is that you can just be like "hey this is where I live and this is what I'm looking for" and she pretty much knows what fabric to use.
I wanted winter fighting pants, and she made me a pair of salwar out of a nice cream colored wool but she then emailed me letting me know that they might actually be too warm for fighting and did I want linen instead because she was concerned with me overheating, even in the Buffalo winters.

I'd be on the lookout for hoardes of forumites coming after you for that dress. Also I'd quite like to have that mirror. Lock all your doors ;)

The mirror is at Lympne Castle in Kent, England.  The dress can be found in ASDA

I need something to entertain me at work because I'm procrastinating and I figured this would be a fun place to start!

So Youghal has some of the oldest examples of town walls in the country, dating back to the latter half of the 13th century. Steps have been taken to preserve the walls. The following photos are from a section of the wall around a Church of Ireland church/graveyard right next to Myrtle Grove, where Sir Walter Raleigh lived. (Incidently, Myrtle Grove is supposedly where a servant of his threw a bucket of water on him believing him to be on fire - he was smoking a pipe).

(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/IMG_0150.jpg)
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/IMG_0149.jpg)
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/IMG_0148.jpg)

Then there's this section:
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/IMG_0147.jpg)
The recess in the wall was traditionally where a pauper's coffin was kept. If someone died and they weren't able to afford a proper burial, they would be put into the pauper's coffin and kept in the wall until another funeral. The coffin would be taken to the open grave, where the person would be wrapped in a shroud and buried. A little gruesome, but perhaps better than putting them into a Potter's Field. Occasionally, the family of the other person would offer a small marker in commemoration.

Last photo.
My hometown has a rather dubious connection to one of the more prominent figures in British history, Oliver Cromwell. The story goes that during the winter break in his campaign in Ireland during 1649-1650, Cromwell stayed in Youghal and left via the town when Charles II landed in Scotland. The only seaside area of the town wall still intact is the arch, commonly known as Cromwell's Arch.

Sadly, I don't have the piercing anymore - I retired it because finding a job was becoming too huge a pain in the ass and I needed to pay my rent.  Then I got laid off anyway, so a big fuck you to that job.

I've been trying to work up the courage to talk to my friend's artist about designing a tattoo.  While I don't have any of my own right now, I do love talking about them and enjoying them vicariously through other people.

I once went to the hospital in Leuven for a meeting about a computer system.  When the person we were meeting arrived, he saw my companion (a salesman), swore in Flemish, and left.  I then flew back to England. 

I had also been unable to set up the demonstration I had taken because it was on a 9-track magnetic tape, but it turned out that their computer had a 7-track tape deck.

Aww, that's really cool!  That's the Albanian one, I'm guessing?  I always liked double headed eagle motifs, and wondered why they were so common in eastern europe.  Turns out (according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle)) they were a symbol of the old Russian empire, passed down from the Byzantine empire - but the symbol's actually older than christianity, it shows up in egyptian tomb art.  I like the way this one fills the heraldic shield form.

It is, and my guess is that it's a leftover from the Ottomans, which of course was born of the ashes of the Byzantines. It's also one of the myriad petty bones of contention in Serbo-Albanian relations.

Since the bass player, Bryan Beller, is an old friend, she really thought I should go. Then his wife Kira started texting me asking me to come down. So I did and surprised the hell out of him when he got off stage. Neither of us had any idea the other was in town that day.

I've had this corpse-painted avatar for over six years, if not more. Now I am actually in an honestly non-ironic dead-serious Black Metal band, while me donning the "Demon Warpaint" waaaay back then was purely ironic.

Go figure.

I've been rather bored today. So I decided to attempt to put up shelves in my bathroom. Here's a look at most of what I wanted to fit on the shelves.

(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/11011_10151320407567717_1535874578_n.jpg)
It is possible that I have a bath stuff obsession.

And here is the end result.

Guys. I put up two whole shelves. They are holding weight. No one was injured! I am proud of myself. Also it might be a little sad that I'm proud of myself for this but I am clumsy as fuck and the last time I tried to hang something on the wall I ended up leaving 6 holes that definitely did not need to be there, and I had a panic attack and hurt my arm. So! This turned out better.

Oh man it fits so good, look at that shit.  (It was made to my measurements).  I cannot recommend this (http://www.eshakti.com/) place enough.  The prices are a little steep, but they have coupons pretty frequently, and I am looking at them as investment pieces.

I got a skirt too, I will post a photo of that another day though, now that this dress is on it is not coming off till I get naked tonight.

I've always wanted to order a dress from eShakti, but it's taking me a while to realize that a nice splurge every once in a while is worth it if it actually lasts a long time. The $100 leather boots I bought 3 years ago are finally starting to show signs of wear and tear.

I was considering buying a fancy white swing dress for our rehearsal dinner. How long did it take for your dress to be made? I saw that if you register with them, they give you a $25 coupon.

(1) The forum software is set to limit the size of displayed photos when you post them (by adding dimensions to the tag), if they would have been large enough to disrupt the layout on a typical desktop monitor.

(2) Limiting the displayed size doesn't alter the amount that has to be downloaded.

CloudFlare will not affect anything being loaded from other sites, unless they use it too, of course. In any case, loading is not slower, but changes due to editing a page may be delayed by the caching. However, as the forum is a dynamic site, this is unlikely to be important, as it won't be cached as much as static pages will be.

a compliment (with an i) is a statement of praise.

a complement (with an e) is something that goes together well with something else.

so i might compliment you on how your hat complements your outfit, see?

My mind gets dyslexic when I'm exhausted. I read that as
spellcheck is bad with homophobes, yeah.

My mother once had to teach a class about homophones; she started by asking if anyone knew what they were.

"Yeah, it's someone who hates gays, innit", came the reply.


Mind you, I think it was with the same class that she received some homework with bloodstains on it. The student's dog was in season.

A friend from ROTC stayed at my place for a few days while she's PCS'ing, and we took the swords down to play with.  Since we didn't have full protective gear, we were feigning attacks for the most part.

I'll look for some better pictures, but here's a fun one.

Back in...2011 I think, a storm decided to be all "hey bro i heard u liek trees' and so I got visited by the tree fairy!

and by that I mean a tree fell on me and my car.
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/316895_1566652823971_412176220_n.jpg)
(yeah that was before I started transitioning)
Also no, I was thankfully standing outside of the car on the other side of where I'm standing in this when it happened. So for the most part all I got was some nasty bruising. This was taken by a photographer for the city paper after the ambulance had already stopped by to make sure we were okay (friend of mine was with me and got hit too), and I was salvaging what I could.

I have no idea how to do that but i know its possible  :psyduck:

If you have the Javascript skills, you might be able to implement something in Greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/), possibly finding inspiration in a script repository (http://userscripts.org/tags/greasemonkey).

You'd need to make your own replacement avis from the pictures of users that you've found, to make them suitable for the 100x100 space they will be fitted in (and to make them small enough that the speed of displaying pages isn't too compromised.  Rather than making a list of replacements, just give the files the name of the user, then the script can do the replacement if it finds the required file exists, and not otherwise - easier to update and maintain that way.

Firstly, Unicorn looks cute as hell in this photo.

Second of all, this photo's composition and pose makes it look like a story from one of the shitty gossip rags they have over here like Take A Break where the cover is 'I carried my father's rape baby - with him in prison now I'm loving life' or something.

So I made a gambeson a little under a month ago. Sleeves were too short and too tight in the elbows. Bought fabric to make a new gambeson. Realized that the body of the first one is fine. Tore off sleeves and made new ones. Much better, although a little tight in the left elbow, but not too much of a problem.
Fits like a goddamn dream.

I also made a pair of chausses (not seen in picture) that I globbed up a little bit but am putting together a tutorial for. I know where my mistake was so I know how to fix it on the next pair I make.

Dear you guys,

I went to Coachella with my buds, and after it was over, I suggested that my buds and I go to visit Elliott Smith.

Love,
Me

a while back, my band played a show at this place called Mojo Lounge in Fremont, CA with a band called Piranha Party. They're friends of ours and we love sharing bills and hanging out with them. It was just the two bands at this show, and we played first. After Piranha Party's set ended, I borrowed lead guitarist Adam's Jaguar and started playing "After Hours" by the Velvet Underground. Keyboardist Emily decided she wanted to sing with me. And somebody decided to take a picture!

Thanks everyone! And yeahhhhhh they've definitely taken up way too much freaking time. I think there are probably 40-50 flowers in each bouquet. I started dreaming about folding all that shit.  :-P

And Unicorn- I will so make you some after the wedding insanity is over! Maybe not sixteen.....but some.  :-D

I'm trying to figure out if I should cover the little center holes with buttons in the same color as each flower or if doing so would just push me over the edge.....still gotta do corsages and boutonnieres too. Oy.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Papersatan on 04 May 2013, 00:00
I think buttons would look super cute, but they look fine without them, so if it is a lot of stress, don't worry about it.  Or maybe a compromise, and put button on just the un-patterned flowers of each color?

He's a monster, part of the reason I'm glad that I fight with Rome rather than against. Actually Horatius is the true monster, he goes through about six rattan swords every two months. Keep in mind that we only fight once a week most of the time.

That could seriously fuck up your day. I guess this dovetails nicely with the injury report you posted recently?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Jace on 30 May 2013, 11:16
Well, most of my injuries actually come from getting hit in unarmored spots or places between my armor. Like my buddy Enzo got me with a really good shot on the shoulder that landed between the plates on my gorget (neck armor that has a bit of shoulder coverage) and the spaulder cop (armor that covers the point of the shoulder and upper arm). There's a bruise there, but it'll be healed by the next time I fight (two weeks, I work next week). The only really lasting bruise was the hit to my unarmored shin by a shield, which is a fluke.

My older daughter can voluntarily dislocate and relocate her shoulders without any pain.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: ibrahimdelil on 03 Jun 2013, 13:23
That's kind of a curse for me. My right shoulder dislocates rather easily, but can't be relocated without a certain move which requires four people. One holds the upper body, one holds the legs, one pulls the arm downwards from the hand and the last one pulls outwards from the upper arm with some sort of cushion. The docs call it "green", idk why.

I wore gray raver pants and a white shirt to mine, and my hair was a weird blueish greenish color. I had to wear light colors under my gown, otherwise it would have been black raver/bondage pants and a black shirt.

it was about what you'd expect from jumping into a lake in the pacific northwest: very cold, very wet, and very green.

it gave me tentacle sideburns.

Congrats and best wishes, Welu! That's awesome news.

I played a show in a friend's backyard barn a while back, and another buddy of mine took a pretty good picture of me playing what I assume was either "Color Wheels of Evil" or "Red Rat Bucket Dirt Grave". I do wish someone would get one of me looking sorta toward the camera though. That never seems to happen, even though I can't help but stare at it sometimes.

The girlfriend threw a party for her Dad's 60th birthday. a pirate themed party because they enjoy sailing. One of the things she got at the dollar store were these little pirate kits with an eye patch and earrings. I decided to see what I would loom like with a nose ring

Hey, all the brands widely available here, but not in the US (though relatively expensive here as well. I only had a Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs once). I feel bad for you US citizens. Officially you're not even allowed to own Cuban cigars even when you're abroad. But who could check for that anyway.

Are those Dutch "smoking kills" stickers on the rolls on the right?

Actually Romeo y Julieta are quite popular here, they're just sold/made in... somewhere not Cuba for the U.S. Market. (If you believe that shit) Excalibur cigars were my brand till I quit though, nothing like a Churchill and a comfy chair.

I have definitely smuggled a Cuban cigar into the US after buying it duty free in Munich. Fucker was like $60 for a single cigar. Fuck the embargo, man, it hurts a lot of innocent civilians and obviously hasn't stopped Cuba from existing for the 50 someodd years we've been imposing it.

Pictures from the battle on Thursday. This was at least 60 minutes in since after the 60 minute mark I was getting water and noticed that the leather around the back and sides of my helmet started to come off so I did a quick field repair and tied off the sinew stitches to get me through the rest of the battle.

Babies are cute when they're happy. They're kind of terrifying when they're not. Then they get older and they're even cuter, but the temper tantrums are even worse, and then whoop one of you is going out of a window and you can bet it's the one that's screaming. Which may or may not be you.

you should all watch "Babies."  It is an interesting look at how children are raised around the world.  The four families were obviously chosen for their contrast, so even un-narrated it seems heavy handed sometimes, but I think it works.  I think the Mongolian baby sections are the best.

Mongolian baby cannot be held back by walls s/he just wants to roam free.  FREEEDOM!

What's not to like?

I would suggest a worktable, cause you're agonna have a huge crick in your back by the time you're done.

I paint wargaming minis.  LOTS of wargaming minis.
Apple Barrel paints do fine.  You just have to know how to properly thin them during use.

I have painted minis for a decade and for about 3 years of that I've done it for money (I still would but the market for it up here is kind of shit). Apple barrel are great when you're starting out and suck but at some point you'll want to move to citadel, vallejo, or another higher end acrylic if you want your stuff to look good. Apple barrel will crack or yellow over time and occasionally chips and rubs off much easier when played with or handled.

I guess apple barrel paints are okay for terrain, which is all that I use them for.

Oh the paints are not mine, the guy who wanted me to paint his guitar just gave me the guitar plus some crappy materials to work with, it's sometimes nice to make due with what you have... That said, I'm glad I brought some paint brushes on my own because his were terrible. I have a proper studio space (with a desk) and good quality paints where I usually reside.

Kat, I'm here till September 12th for this time, but I'll be back in late November - mid December!

On holiday.  We stayed in a village north of Lucca.  From one end of the garden (the whole plot is 14 acres) we had this vista:
(http://cassland.org/images/EG/Vista.jpg)

It's usually hazy, but the day after a big thunderstorm was was clearer than I've seen there before, so we could see Corsica (the shape behind the obvious island):
(http://cassland.org/images/EG/Corsica.jpg)

and Elba (the shape on the right, behind Pisa and Livorno):
(http://cassland.org/images/EG/Elba.jpg)

If you look closely at the image of Pisa, you can see the Leaning Tower (which is 25 km away).  Here it is cropped out of the above picture, which was taken with my longest lens (210mm APSC = 315mm equivalent):
(http://cassland.org/images/EG/LeaningTowerDay.jpg)

and the same view, handheld at night:

To prove it was a holiday, here are my grandchildren sitting against the cathedral in Pisa after we discovered they can't go up the tower until they are 8:

Ah, but when the shave grows out a bit, it feels like velvet...

You may also find that more grows back.  The finer hair from the thinning follicles were probably getting broken and pulled out by the length you were keeping.

I will never not be happy with my Geek Life tattoo. It does, however, need some touch up work. Never got a touch up after it was done and I gained close to 100 lbs (and lost a a good chunk of that) during the interim. Not terrible, but I need to have a period where I have some spare money to do it. Also, I think I've definitely confirmed I like it. It is, however, a very weird change to get used to. There are some nice advantages, and disadvantages, to it though.

Pros:
A nice cool wind on a bare scalp during a hot day feels fantastic
No worrying about eating my hair during a meal
No untangling hair in the morning
In general, I'm a lot more comfortable during hot days
My ear jewelry will never be hidden by hair

Cons:
I really loved having long hair in general
Having Vitiligo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo), I get sunburned ridiculously easy. A sunburned scalp sounds like it would be miserable
This means I need to learn to not hate hats. Probably going to try and find a newsboy I don't hate
Ladies seemd to love playing with guys long, wavy hair

Also, Kat is desperately wanting me to grow it out for a few more days so she can pet the velvet fuzz. I might not do that.

Edit: Also I think that both the long hair and shaved scalp go equally well, though differently, with the goatee. That will never be shaved.

Urrghhhh sunburnt heads are the worst! I decided to get one braid put in my head while we were in Jamaica and the only part of me that didn't get any sunblock was the actual "part" created by the braid. It was SO friggin painful.

As a side note, I've recently discovered that 90 SPF sunblock actually does exist. And it does a damn good job! Invest in a bottle of that stuff, and you can continue hating hats if your heart so desires, without suffering the painful consequences.  :-D

There is absolutely no point using anything above 50SPF sun cream. In fact, it's not legal to sell it in this country because it is misleading - 90SPF is no better than 50. If you use 50 properly, it provides 99% protection again UVB, and no sun cream properly protects against UVA anyway so you still need to keep out of the sun. 30 is something like 98% - a negligible difference.

If you want your sun cream to be more effective, apply more of it. Most people only use 1/4 of the recommended amount, meaning that they get about 1/3 of the potential protection. You should still stay in the shade and cover up as much as possible, because you're still at risk of cancers and radiation damage even if you're smothered in the stuff.

I have a friend who is a PhD bio-chemist taking a break in her medical degree, and who happens to have Albinism, so she is pretty passionate about this stuff.

Hmmm. I heard there was no difference but Nick didn't want to chance it while we were in Jamaica so I sucked it up and bought the 90. Last thing I wanted was to buy the 50 and have to hear him complain about getting burned. And it was the same price, so I figured why not? Only applying once in the AM each day, I didn't get one speck of color for the whole 6 days we were there (except on my non-lotioned head) and we spent all day, every day in the sun.

I've used 50 and been burned before, so it made sense to me that 90 was "better". Maybe we got a defective batch of 50SPF.  :?

That must be why the one my wife bought the other day was labelled "50+".  And in what sense is it "misleading"?  If there is a standard for what these figures mean, and the products meet those standards, how is this misleading?  (If there is not a real standard, then the figures are misleading at all levels, of course.)

Um, 98% to 99% is not a negligible difference.  What matters is what gets through - 2% versus 1% is twice as much.  If someone is still burning on that 1%, then halving it to 0.5% by using a factor 90 (I presume that how the factors work) is not pointless.  If it's unreliable because of ineffective use because the instructions are not followed properly, or are inadequate, that's a different thing again.

But your comment about UVA may make this all moot (making the figures meaningless, in effect).

In my case I'm actually considering trying out physical sunscreen rather than chemical sunscreen. The problem is that the physical sunscreen I'm interested in isn't available in the US, but it might be worth it to import it and see how it works for me.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Papersatan on 26 Aug 2013, 13:24
I think the issue with sunscreens of higher SPF, is that you usually need to reapply frequently enough that the coverage doesn't make a difference. 

The formula I always learned was that when properly applied you are protected for the time it takes you to burn times the spf number.  Example: 10 min in direct sun x 50 = 500 min or over 8 hours. The problem is your sunscreen will not last 8 hours without reapplication.  Even water resistant varieties will need to be reapplied, particularly if you are sweating, or swimming.   In this respect spf 90 is no better, because it still will have worn off.  However, if we are all underapplying, then there may be a difference in the actual protection received from a thin layer of 50, v a thin layer of 90.

When I see guys with shaved heads, I always imagine them in saffron robes. Yes, even Jason Statham (coming to a cinema near you in Transporter 4: Nirvana Or Bust, co-staring an actress with large breasts).

As for sunscreen, wear a hat! And a proper hat, not a baseball cap that doesn't protect your neck, ears, cheekbones etc. Seriously, I see so many older white Australian men with deep scars and obvious skin-grafts all over their heads and faces. And nobody looks good with obvious chunks of their ears or noses cut away. An advantage of being Asian, and living in a Chinatown, is that nobody thinks twice if I wear a douli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_Asian_hat), or carry a sun-umbrella. It would take a self-confident Western man to do either...
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

That's why I am not ashamed to wear a sun hat that covers most of my shoulders as well. I burn easily and I don't fancy getting skin cancer. I tend to buy SPF 50 only because SPF 30 is only ever good if I'm outdoors less than 30min. Which is pretty much only when I take kids onto the playground at work and I stand in the shade as much as possible anyways, so who cares.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 27 Aug 2013, 11:37
Kat explained it better than I did - what matters with sun cream is putting it on enough, and frequently enough.

Misleading because even SPF 100 would not be 100% effective. The difference between SPF 50 and SPF 90 is so small that it is in effect non-existent, and yet people would believe that 90 was better and be prepared to pay more for it.

But yes, the UVA issue makes it all meaningless because sun cream does not provide complete protection and might encourage complacency. Kind of like how some people argue that wearing a cycle helmet encourages some people to cycle less carefully.

I have a huge floppy pink sun hat which makes me joyous. I haven't had occasion to wear it at all this summer :( The really sunny hot weather was while I was living out of a suitcase, and that hat does not like suitcases.

I had a nice woven straw one my wife got from an amish store for a couple of years.  I loved it, it didn't look stupid - had a nice crown shape, and a broad enough brim to be protective wit ha tight enough weave to keep me uunburnt. 

The dog ate it last year when she was a puppy. 


I need  new one.  The baseball caps are OK, but not as sharp or protective.

You spoilered it, you tagged it accurately - do we have a rule against nipples? I didn't think so - this isn't Facebook. I am, however, very new to this moddy business (also relevant: I have not clicked the spoilers so don't know what the photos are.)

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 04 Sep 2013, 08:31
The photos are tastefully blurred, and acceptable (as tagged and spoilered) in a European context; a US mod may feel that more caution is required for a largely US audience, perhaps.  The applicable rule written by Jeph is:

IMAGES: Porn, gore, and other offensive material will get you banned. Immediately. This is not the place for that kind of stuff.

And just possibly (with regard to poking the mods with a stick):

This isn't Slashdot or the Something Awful Forums. Don't be a jackass.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 04 Sep 2013, 08:52
As a general point, though, this forum is not a place to be posting photos that you would be uncomfortable having appear elsewhere. For instance, if you wouldn't post it on Facebook (ignoring the fact that Facebook has its own rules about nudity), then don't post it here as we have no control over where things go after they've appeared on this forum. Even if you change your mind and delete the post, the photo might well still be roaming free around the intertubes.

I realise that where this boundary falls will be different for everyone, and that's obviously something you have to decide for yourself. But if it seems that there's a tendency towards increased posting of sexy, semi-nude or otherwise not-mainstreamly-suitable photos then a stricter rule might need to be introduced. You have been warned :police: :-P

Tl;dr: Make sensible choices, people, even/especially when on mind-altering substances (make sensible choices about that too), and don't turn this forum into a soft porn site.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

Then should we conclude that this is the ultimate limit?

I'm asking mostly with the pointless thread in mind.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 04 Sep 2013, 09:19
I think basically if you feel that you are pushing what you think the limit is, then you probably should not post whatever it is (or potentially seek a mod's opinion). There may be times when the mod consensus is that something is inappropriate and the poster is surprised but on the whole I think we all have a similar feel for what this community accepts (even if some of us, like me, are personally more conservative and others, like perhaps Unicorn, are personally more liberal).

Does that make sense? Obviously if you know that what you're posting is against a specific rule then just don't.

The meta aspect of the pointless thread means that we are to an extent commenting on what goes in there; but there must still be limits.

Administrator Comment As far as this thread goes, what May said about pushing the limits is right. This post pushed them as hard as they will go. This does not mean that doing the same repeatedly will be acceptable. If there is any sense that advantage is being taken, then retribution is bound to follow.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: BeoPuppy on 04 Sep 2013, 09:55
I mainly asked so that I can avoid pushingbuttons. I figure if this is the limit you allow with personal stuff, the limit for impersonal stuff will be less far out.

Well, I'll invoke the terrifying moderatorial power of using reason and asking politely.

Unicorn, thank you for thinking of spoilerizing and tagging it NSFW. That was good for the forum. For the good of a forum which you and we both value, please ask yourself whether the example you just set might encourage the next person who comes along to do something more dangerous to the forum. If you would please host them elsewhere, no question arises.

man, i r. kind of resent being told that a picture of myself is soft porn

like as a person who does porn and as a person who does sex work i hella resent being told that my body is inherently pornographic in nature

but like, i'll not do it again. there's other places than here to post, places where i don't have to debate myself before most posts or other people after them.

sorry, not sorry. i'll respect that limit 'cause it's being placed and all, but man, we have a hundred page plus thread dedicated to drug use (no longer used, mind, but it's still there) and apparently even he ~mention~ of it is taboo now.

but w/e. my points are r. irrelevant in the end.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 04 Sep 2013, 13:40
No, you misunderstand me - I wasn't saying that your photo was soft porn. I was making a general request that people do not post soft porn here. If we thought that your post was pornographic in nature, it would have been deleted and you'd probably have been banned because that's pretty much the only rule that Jeph has: no porn, no gore, no assholery.

Your points aren't irrelevant at all. There's a bunch of new mods, I'm one of them, and we're finding our feet. As a team we're also figuring out where the boundaries are, and sometimes realising that they're not actually very clear (and sometimes they're outdated). Anyone who has any useful input is welcome to contribute to that discussion, although at the end of the day if Jeph were to ban discussion of penguins or something we'd have to abide by that even if we thought it was a stupid rule.

there's also a distinction to be made when it comes to n00dz, but I'm not the one to ask for that distinction because frankly if somebody were trying to offend me with an image they'd have better luck trying to catch mosquitoes with a fishing net.

I apparently looked like an overstuffed blue sausage but everyone courteously kept quiet about that. Also I didn't get any henna! But it was a beautiful day and the bride and our guests twirled and swirled through it like so many butterflies or little bits of wrapping paper :) All in all it was a mighty fine shindig but not doing it again

Hello thare, photothread. Figured I'd peek my head out of the art and music boards and post some stuff here as well :) Quick warning, most pictures of me are either from gigs or from viking/medieval markets, so yeah.
Anyway, here follows a few photos of me and/or of my bass (A few are venue-marked. Hope that's not a problem :) )
Gig photos!

I'll spoiler it because it's 20 webcam shots that are only like 40kb a piece, so might as well have 'em in the sequence I took them real quick to show it off last night!

hmmm, no. Upon closer inspection, I think I donät have the same glasses - but they have the same form.

I honestly must say that I never really thought about it and the last time I was at an optician was quite some while ago, but gendered glasses are ridiculous. I want pink sunglasses.

It is a very nice pic, Jimmy. Your solo album cover? ;)

Valdis' pendant and scarf are excellent! Gendered glasses are ridiculous, but not really any more so than many gendered items. Obviously some aspects of men's and women's bodies are different and require differently-cut clothes, but women's feet, for example, are pretty much exactly the same as men's apart from being slightly smaller on average. Many so-called "women's saddles" sold in bicycle-shops are exactly the same as mens, except for the colour of the cover. Much the same applies to shoes:

It's the nerves and arteries that get compressed, rather than the prostate.  My prostate is enlarged - it's an age thing - which you might think would make it more of an issue, but I cycle every day without it being any trouble at all.

Global Moderator Comment  If I had given her an official warning, it would have looked like this.

It was a plea from me as a person. I'm sorry I don't like dead things, even taxidermy makes me nauseous. But apparently I'm only a mod, not someone who has been around a long time and expects people to not post stuff like this.

And apparently other shit happened and now she's banned and this is what I get for going to sleep.

Unicorn is fine with being called she as long as we accept her nature - genderfluid and other terms that I am not going to toss around because I don't know much about them. Also Zingoleb was her original username.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 26 Oct 2013, 11:04
Unicorn was banned for a serious breach of the rules for which anyone would have been banned.  We try to apply rules fairly and uniformly to all members of the forum.  Any sigh must be directed at Unicorn's mis-behaviour.

Their account name (login) was never changed - only the display was changed.  I didn't know it would revert on a ban being given, and am actually surprised that the software does that - I consider it a bug.  I now know how to deal with it, though, and may change it back in a while.  [later: done, I think]

Paul ninja'd me, but I am gonna post what I was gonna post as an addendum:

There is no rule against dead animals per se, as you can see by the fact that Uni's dead squirrel wasn't deleted.

I find this really, really interesting for some reason.

You look pretty young there. But good!
I'm 23.5 in that picture. Both sides of my family have goooood genes for that. XD

Loli, I'm pretty sure that is the first picture I've ever seen of you and you are flippin' adorable!!
I posted one of my senior pictures (from 2007) back in 2012 (I got curious and checked), so that's the first even remotely current picture. XD

This is the whiteboard in my room. The girl I talked about in another thread who is one of my best friends and showed me a photo of her unnecessarily slammin' body wrote 'Gareth <3s Amber.' I do not <3 Amber any more than a friend. The girl I'm sleeping with wrote 'I love Gareth's cock.' The £78 is how much the girl I slept with BEFORE her owes me at the end of the month.

Sometimes pictures are stored the wrong way round with an EXIF field saying that they should be rotated; not all software honours this; if you process the image (e.g. to resize for a forum) without saving the EXIF data  in the new image, the rotation indication can be lost.  Your image has lost its EXIF data (I looked).

I can see where ChaoSera is coming from. EXIF stores a lot more data than you think, especially GPS data, which makes it somewhat scary if you post that information online.

But evil? I wouldn't go as far as that.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

Well, comparatively few cameras have GPS built in, even now.  And being aware of such stuff is not so hard, really.

Exactly what Masterpiece said. Pictures taken by phone are risky to put online, that goes especially for young girls who decide to send naked pictures to whomever. If that picture finds its way to 4chan, you are in trouble. Tracking somebody down using the EXIF data and some facebook search skills is disturbingly easy.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

But you can stop your phone from GPSing you, can't you? I basically do that all the time because I didn't want my location being broadcast anywhere and I assumed it used data, I only turn it on if I'm lost. Or does it keep doing that?

You can turn off your GPS, but you can't turn off the tracking via the mobile network and that's enough to give a rough estimate of your geographical position, which then gets embedded in a picture's EXIF data.

Hey guys, you can learn about how your devices work!

In my iPhone, I can turn location services (not just GPS) on or off as a whole, and if on can allow or prohibit individual apps from accessing it.  My iPhone is set so that I can use GPS when out, but my camera cannot get to it.

Android, sadly, only allows turning location on and off as a whole, but none the less you can do that.  In v4.3 and v4.4 there is code to allow controlling access to location from individual apps, but (a) you have to get an app ("App Ops Starter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter)") to reach it, and (b) Google have blocked this app in non-rooted v4.4.2 "because the code is experimental".  Google also stores your movement history if your device is logged in - you can delete that by going to a website (https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/3118687?hl=en).

You can be secure - but Apple are better at letting you be than Google are.

When people say "all phones have GPS" do they mean all smart phones? My little Alcatel OT 665 doesn't have anything that I can think of as using GPS. I realise it's possible to locate a phone based on its signals to the network but beyond that, do non-smart phones have any location technology?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Masterpiece on 26 Jan 2014, 05:38
Mostly no. GPS technology got extremely popular with the second gen iPhone. It was available before then, but not in "feature phones".

That said, if you live in an urban area with plenty of cell phone towers, tracking your location is a piece of cake. And if you store cellular data, it's very easy to create a movement pattern of you.
A German politician once sued the German Telekom and requested access to his stored cellular data. He proceeded to give this data to a German newspaper which reproduced his movement and created an interactive map:
Click play to see him go about his days. (http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-vorratsdaten)

This is what scares me much more than the metadata in exif files. It's this systematic approach to monitoring the populace. If anyone wanted to dirty my name, they know everything about me. And I can't do anything to change that.

If someone wanted to know where I was, they'd just have to check the CCTV cameras. I live in a city; I am on film every second I'm in public and quite often when I'm in semi-public buildings like university.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 26 Jan 2014, 05:51
And note that the UK has the highest ratio of CCTV cameras to population in the world.  Apparently less than 2% are state-owned (source (http://www.bsia.co.uk/home/bsia-cctv-number-of-cameras-in-uk)), there is one camera to 11 people (source (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/10172298/One-surveillance-camera-for-every-11-people-in-Britain-says-CCTV-survey.html)), and they amount to 20% of the world's CCTV (source (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-444819/UK-1-worlds-population-20-CCTV-cameras.html)). 

(The last two sources are the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail - make of that what you will.)

I sailed the great lakes.  We lived in Buffalo at the time, and had a 21' open cockpit wooden sloop for a few years that we sold and upgraded to a 27' racing sloop.  Sailed to Ontario and back many a time, once in a gale-force storm that got us halfway across the lake with no sails up.  Won our division in the '78 Great Lakes Championship, too. 

Most runs included the importation of several cases of duty-free canadian beer... some of which made it home.    :police:

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Van donk III on 01 Mar 2014, 18:16
Thanks for the complements guys. It's been nearly 6 months and now spring is upon us here in Ireland at least, so I think it's time to take it off and let my chin see the sun again. I'm kind of in two minds about taking it off though.

I'm growing quite weary of how popular beards and beard culture is of late. It's only facial hair for god's sake, people are getting on like it could solve world hunger. That band 'The Beards' really annoys me. It's self gratification at a whole new level. Don't get me wrong, I like having one, I grow a beard every winter, but I'm meeting people who are congratulating me on having a beard. I don't get it. It grows out of my face; just as my toenails grow from my toes. You don't see hipsters etc going on about their toenails and their esoteric collection of oils and grooming utensils for their upkeep.

I get compliments on my mustache every day and I love it.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Jimmy the Squid on 02 Mar 2014, 01:37
Yeah I'm pretty over the whole facial hair thing to be honest. It's just so arbitrary and it seems to be part of a stupid middle class reclaiming masculinity trip for entitled white kids. If you have a beard you're a man. If you don't there's something wrong with you. Fuck that. Most of these guys end up looking like an idiot child's approximation of an adult. And the phrase "beard culture" is the dumbest thing I've ever read.


I'm not trying to have a go at people with beards. Just the concept of beards.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Van donk III on 02 Mar 2014, 03:23
I agree entirely. I see Lots of people using their facial hair as a mask; like some sort of security blanket that makes them more masculine than the next guy. I can't get on board with that at all.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: BeoPuppy on 02 Mar 2014, 03:26
Beards are not something I can do right now. My girlfriend hates facial hair, I have a kid who can hang in it, I'd get it yaknked continuously on the mat (not that that is an issue in the coming 6 months (sigh)) ... it's just not practical.

But the whole hype surrounding facial hair is getting a bit much. People pretending that they're arctic explorers or submariners of yesteryear or something ... stupid shit.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: GarandMarine on 02 Mar 2014, 05:02
My beard is growing out from "sea captain" to "norse warrior status in a positive fashion. In my sub culture at least facial hair is associated with a combination of freedom and elite status. The former is based on no longer having to maintain grooming standards, the latter is the other way you can obtain the privilege to grow a beard is joining SOCOM.

I find the whole concept of a beard defining your manliness silly, I mean the concept of manhood as a general thing is kinda odd in it's own, but I'm a cockstrong warrior nutcase independent of my facial hair grooming choices. I define the beard, the beard does not define me. If you are your facial hair you are a shallow motherfucker. It is that simple.

HOW do you get your beard to go all multicolor??!

My beard serves to conceal my true identity and to protect people from painful dissonance by making me look like the strange middle-aged man I sound like I am. I love it, I love playing with it even though it probably looks a little creepy when I do, and my face feels so naked and unbalanced without it that I can't imagine going back even on days when I feel it looks like there's a goat's scrotum hanging from my face.

I want to grow a beard once I have the ability, just because I'm losing my hair and I'd like some control over how my face/head looks. In fact once I can grow a beard, I plan on growing it out for a year and keeping my hair at the same length as it, meeting some new people and getting people used to it, then shaving it off one day without telling anyone and seeing if the new people recognise me.

My friend's beard is always multi-color. And it's huge so there's a ton of variety. I can't find a pic with the different colors but look at this majestic thing.

My other friend can't grow a full beard at all. And he always laments this. He seems to think he's less of a man for this and it bothers him a lot. Look how cute he is though!

I definitely think it's silly to equate beards with masculinity and masculinity with being a "good" man.

Lastly, have a picture of my cat being a derp.

Actually the genetics behind hair colour are not as well understood as we thought they were! It turns out we don't really know why facial hair/body hair is often drastically different to the hair on the head. For instance my goatee is significantly darker than the hair on my head or my sideburns but is also shot with red hairs.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: CrowFairy on 06 Mar 2014, 00:57
My mom and her dad both started off blond(e). My mom's blonde hair stopped around age 6-ish, not too long after they left the Air Force base in Japan (where the women understandably were in love with my mom's hair), if I remember correctly. Her dad was towheaded at least until he was 18 or so--his friends used to call him Cotton-Top or something like that.

My eyebrows are a really light color, but my hair is very dark with some copper tones.

To not identify myself too heavily, I'd like to only briefly mention this one: I once knew someone with a mustache that grew in two different colors. About 2/3 of it was his natural hair color, and the other part was a different color. (I won't specify more than that!)

That's because young offspring of a lot of species usually have a lack of pigments. That's also the reason why some sorts of kittens have blue eyes until a certain age when their natural eye color kicks in.
Having dark hair is pretty much the default in our culture, so no wonder most of those blonde babies grow up to be dark-haired adults.

This was me, too. Born with black hair, it fell out and came back as a golden blonde (still had/have dark eyebrows), and at some point during my hair dyeing stint it turned brown. (I died my hair basically non-stop from 6th grade through my second year of college.) Now it's a nice nut brown with gold highlights and I quite like it.

I agree entirely. I see Lots of people using their facial hair as a mask; like some sort of security blanket that makes them more masculine than the next guy. I can't get on board with that at all.

As a guy with facial hair who this totally applies to, it's not so much a masculinity thing, it's a confidence thing. It's kinda like some ladies and their war paint. Without it I just don't feel quite the same way about my appearance, which can have a pretty important impact on your overall confidence. And like they say, confidence is key to handling just about any situation.

It is always time for baby pictures!!!

And you certainly don't sound like an idiot! It was very weird of me. I'm a bit paranoid because it is distinctly possible that this person reads QC, so it is possible he reads these boards. I'd prefer it if this person didn't find me. This is all, of course, probably rather pointless, as I've already shown myself before. So this person would be able to look back. And now that I've pointed that out, it has become more possible. Regardless, the color combination is one I find interesting and highly identifiable, so pointing it out may make it super-obvious to the person whose mustache I am referring to.

If I remember correctly, May and I are of a very similar age! And I got carded 4 times in Las Vegas last week. One person thought I was 15. Another thought I was 18, so I guess that's a little better. :S I turn 24 in May (the month :P), and people still think I'm like a freshman or something. I'm in grad school. >=( I get carded at R-rated movies too. I can't tell you how happy I was when I got asked if we wanted an alcohol menu at a restaurant once! And just a week ago, when I was going to eat with my family, my parents got asked if they wanted a children's menu. Apparently no one can agree on how old I am.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Thrillho on 24 Mar 2014, 03:34
Rs are for 17 and over unless accompanied by an adult.

Not to be confused with NC-17, which is for 17s and over ONLY. Because that makes sense.

Also if your film is NC-17, no-one will see it. At all.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: The Seldom Killer on 24 Mar 2014, 14:57
Probably worth noting that of all age restricted licensing in the UK, those for films are the least enforced ever. I'm pretty sure someone younger looking than May could get into an 18 without even a hint of moral conflict crossing the mind of the ticket seller.

Of course if I were serving May in a bar I would feel obliged to check ID. Partly on the looks thing and partly on my theory that the more sweet and innocent you look in real life, the more downright murderously criminal you will look on an official photo. The camera doesn't add 10lbs, it adds 40 years to life.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Detachable Felix on 25 Mar 2014, 02:49
How do you even get carded for buying orange juice? That's not a thing. What even. :psyduck:

I remember there was this little general store in the middle of nowhere out in the yorke peninsula that had their condoms behind the counter under a sign that read "you must be 18 or older to purchase these". Fucking what even?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 25 Mar 2014, 02:57
I asked that too. The bar tender looked rather embarassed and said it was pub policy. Since I had my drivers' licence with me and am in fact easily old enough to purchase fruit juice, I just shrugged and got on with it.

That condom thing is ridiculous - no wonder teenage pregnancy is a problem! When I worked in Sainsbury's I had to ID someone who was buying vanilla essence, which we both found hilarious.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

I had the same experience ordering a coke in a bar once because under 18s aren't meant to be in pubs after a certain time. I told them I don't bring ID because I don't drink alcohol (true at the time, but it was mainly the being 17 thing) but still ended up having my whole group told we'd have to leave because I didn't have ID. :oops:
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Thrillho on 25 Mar 2014, 12:49
I didn't drink until university, so I never had ID. When I started drinking, I never got IDed, generally - because I was 19/20, over six feet tall with a receding hairline.

(This didn't stop me getting IDed for paracetemol once - punchline to that being that it was only because I was buying two boxes at once!)

Anyway, I had to get ID eventually because they kept throwing me out of places. I literally once got thrown out of somewhere that had already served me because one bartender didn't bother to ID me and then the barmaid two hours later did.

Hm. I was dubious so I did some research and found this industry briefing (http://www.beerandpub.com/industry-briefings/children-in-pubs) which confirms what I thought; under 18s are allowed in pubs by law, but licences can specify that they are not allowed in specific pubs, with the caveat that if the pub is exclusively for alcohol, under 16s must be accompanied by an over 18.

Interesting fact which non UK forumites might not know: 16 and 17 year olds are allowed to drink wine or beer with a meal in a pub or restaurant, providing an over 18 is buying the alcohol.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Welu on 26 Mar 2014, 09:34
Remember now I'm not in England though and Norn Eire likes to be awkward.

Quote
It's illegal to:
    Be under 18 and on the premises of somewhere selling alcohol between the hours of midnight and 5am.
In Northern Ireland it's illegal to be in a pub under the age of 18 either unaccompanied, or if it does not have a Children's Certificate or it is after 9pm. (http://www.thesite.org/drinkanddrugs/drinking/responsibledrinking/drinkingandthelaw)

Although in my town they like to just chuck everybody out once in a while because underage drinking is such an issue that they're worried about police coming in. Most of the pubs just serve underage ones and chuck people out if they get wind of the police instead of making much of an effort to ID people. Any time I have been ID'ed it's been soon after a pub's been done for serving youngins and in a few weeks they'll not bother anymore. 
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Patrick on 26 Mar 2014, 11:39
See, here in the U.S. the drinking age is 21, no exceptions. And in California, the person selling the alcohol to an underage consumer can be held civilly and criminally liable for any incidents that occur while the underage consumer is intoxicated. Somebody asked me the other day why I carded his girlfriend, and I told him "Because I want to keep my job and not go to prison." Dude got super pissed off and started calling me names and shit and I'm like "Dude, no, I'm actually being serious" and he didn't believe me. Had to kick him out.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Barmymoo on 26 Mar 2014, 13:27
Welu, sure, that's why I checked - your explanation would have made perfect sense if it had in fact been applicable to England. Apparently I just wandered into the one pub in the country where the licence doesn't allow minors to buy fruit juice.

Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: KingOfIreland on 26 Mar 2014, 13:38
Belgium is pretty easy in that regard: The drinking age for beers and wine etc is sixteen. Spirits eighteen. Carding is usually not an issue unless they really look very very underage. Belgian teens generally seem to grow up with a healthier attitude toward drinking too, being accustomed to the idea of having a beer but not fifteen. At university of course, everything goes out of the window in that regard, but that's why there's extra rules for faculty bars and such.

I'm putting this in the photo thread because photos!

My brother got married yesterday!

Here are some photos of him, his lovely new wife, Sarah, his Best Man, Kathleen and I am also there reading Neil Gaiman's The Day The Saucers Came. There is also a celebrant but it's hard to care about that.

(http://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10011454_10152336802825575_1474809277_n.jpg)

The next day was a reception for friends. It was at a record store/punk venue and it was basically the best wedding reception ever. At Sarah's request I provided some of the entertainment. We got to play in suits so it felt very Ackecocke (that's a death metal band that perform in the most exquisite suits).

It was a good wedding/celebration. I'm so happy for my brother. It's really cool. Now I just have to deal with my whole family telling my partner and I that we're next. They don't know that neither of us can be bothered to get married. It's such a hassle!

I saw this shirt and thought Sarah would like it so I got her one. I then ordered myself one because it's an awesome shirt. We both wore them yesterday, and here is the result:
I realized I didn't mention the cutest part of the story. I saw the shirt and posted it on her wall, she figured (correctly) that I'd bought her one. So...she ordered me one as a surprise, not realizing I'd also ordered myself one :roll:

I tell people asking for a recommendation not to buy Foster's in spite of the ad campaign that lies and says it's "Australian for 'beer'" because that is simply not true, and it's also terrible beer, and that they should try a shiraz from Barossa instead because fuck it, wine

It's Australian for beer just like Budweiser is an American beer. They are both manufactured in those countries... both are terrible though.

Fosters is actually manufactured in England, and according to the Australians I know, only tourists drink Fosters in Australia. Fosters are liars!

I still love that all of the "American beer" companies are actually foreign owned, while there are hundreds of craft breweries owned and operated in the US. American beer isn't what it was, and I couldn't be happier. I'm not usually one for patriotism, but for beer I make an exception.

Partially true. Most "Fosters"-branded beer is brewed in the UK, but over here the company owns about half of the macro-breweries (hahn, vb, carlton draught, toohey's etc), most of which are pretty average, but all are still better than 'fosters' itself, which is actually really hard to find in most places (thank god). We've got so many really good craft beers though (and ciders).

It was awesome and their garden was gorgeous. (Yes, they have a GARDEN.) They also were holding a movie night last summer when we were out, so def check that out if/whenever you go. Also their restaurant has super delicious food. Like seriously, for a brewery, that place was really classy and I'd totally go again if we ever head back to San Diego.

When I remember a time when I was in a car, I have to carefully think about which country it was in and which side the steering wheel should be on. In my memory, it sometimes switches round - so for instance I have a clear memory of driving in the USA and reaching into the right-hand door pocket to get a CD out, but in the recollection I'm sitting in the right-hand seat, even though I know that's not actually what happened.

Ah, my bad. Anyway, Jimmy's right. That forum was a pretty toxic environment, and that thread was basically a personification of the casual narcissism of the loudest voices there.

Yes, that one. It was very short lived and I honestly do think it was the underwear shots that killed it. And it was far more ...provocative... than your typical bathing suit shot, fyi. It's not something that should ever creep up here. There are other places on the internet to look at/post pictures of others/yourself in underwear.

Underpants are men's underwear. Pants/knickers are women's. Underwear includes bras, socks, pants, tights etc.

I've never heard this distinction.

Pants is just short for underpants as far as I'm concerned, that's what it's always seemed to me anyway.

I'm feeling self-conscious and am feeling unsure about something.

Does the 'beard' need to go or can it stay?

Right. The jeans are the pants, and the boxers are the underpants. Because they go under the pants. How can you call them "underpants" if they don't go under pants?

For that matter, how can underpants also be pants? How can they go under themselves?

Glad to be of service. That was outside Sarah's cousin's bar mitzvah party. The ceremony was interesting, I'd never seen a bar mitzvah ceremony before. Despite being Jewish, I was never bar mitzvah'd and I'm a little sad about that, now. I know I technically can now, but it wouldn't be the same.

Masterpiece, I suggest maybe trimming the beard (it looks a little rough, but it may just be the pics?) but I think it looks good on you. If you want to appear mature and adult like, it's perfect. You look adorable with no beard, but if you want to avoid seeming younger, I say keep it. If none of these things matter, then feel free to ignore my babbling.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

May - I shall! Although I suppose I'll start maintaining it a little better. The mustache part is getting in my mouth sometimes.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: pwhodges on 18 May 2014, 14:48
Masterpiece: the beard is doing OK, and it would be fine to keep it; but I would consider losing it for now, as you'll find that in another year or two it will be a bit fuller.  Method: keep it - it works well for you.



(Going back a bit) Underpants are undergarments that are pants.  Pants is not originally short for underpants, but for pantaloons.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Lines on 18 May 2014, 15:01
Masterpiece, I think it'd look better if it were a bit fuller, but I think you look best slightly scruffy. But you should do what you want!

Masterpiece, I know my input is coming too late for this round, but I'd say shave the cheeks and below the chin until such a point as you can grow your cheeks in fuller, and keep the rest.

On the subject of beards, I decided to trim my chops down to match the rest of my beard. I plan to tidy up under my chin, but aside from that, what do y'all think?

Some of my grad school friends and me listening to Richard Saul Wruman talk.  He's kind of a big deal in information architecture particularly for my IA teacher who is kind of obsessed with him, but some of you might know him better as the guy who came up with the Ted talks. It was a really good talk. It was in Grand Rapids which is about 2 hours from here, and I didn't trust my car to make it so I convinced two other IA students here to go with me and got one of them to drive. A great time was had by all.

That room with the flames shooting out in the bottom picture was my studio for the past year. You can go close enough to the school to see in now, there's just a black hole left, with no roof.

1. That requires still owning a bass
2. That requires me having a reason to play bass other than 'sat in my room playing bass for a photo' which would make me feel like a dick. I would want an action shot, not some bedroom selfie bullshit

Metope - statuesque, hot and educated. What's not to love? Congrats, I was really worried about the state of your degree after the fire but I'm glad it worked out.

Your friend is also hot.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Metope on 21 Jun 2014, 07:44
Thanks! I was never worried about my degree itself really, it would have been a pretty dick move from the school to not let us graduate after such a traumatic experience that no one can be blamed for. We had done all the work and were just finishing up, and since some of the students lost all of their work and research, the tutors graded us based on their knowledge of how we'd been as students throughout the year, as well as some research presentations we held a couple weeks before the fire, so our grades were fair as well. So yeah, the only difference when it comes to the actual degree was the process of grading of it.

(And yes, my friend is indeed hot. And she won a prize! A surprise prize!)

(one of the firefighters? Or a more serious education related prize?)
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Metope on 21 Jun 2014, 08:29
An education related prize! There are quite a lot of them, printmaking related and painting related, usually awarded by someone rich who has a fund and wants to give money to encourage the graduates they think fit their criteria the best that year. Not sure exactly what her prize is, she doesn't know either, I assume they'll let her know at a later point.

I played a 90 minute acoustic set, then ran a mile in 5 minutes, then walked another mile with my wheelchair-bound buddy Bob (not pictured). Then I ran another 5 minute mile with my buddy Zach (white shirt).

5 minutes? Dude,  you're a whippet. Fastest I can currently manage is 8. Could probably get that down a few seconds if I wasn't running on weird ground (pavements, roads, uphill/downhill gradients). Kudos!

I wonder if I could run a six minute mile. I probably could, I've ran one in under eight before, and if I had the intense training that Marines get I'd probably be in good enough shape to do it.

I'm in really excellent cardiovascular shape right now, probably the best of my life in spite of the smoking. But I'm built for prolonged high speeds. I could maybe translate that to hockey someday, but that's gonna have to wait til I can afford gear. I'd like to train for a marathon though, I feel like I could do it and make good time. I'm gonna start looking for local 5ks to start, then 10ks, and so on.

My buddy got pulled over last night, and we decided to take a picture together.

If I wanted to transfer to the Division of Adult Institutions, I would have to meet three physical fitness requirements. The first would be a timed mile-and-a-half run of 17 minutes, 30 seconds.

I don't think, even at my fittest, I could run a mile in 17:30.

Just a warning, and a couple infractions for his expired registration stickers (the cop looked it up in the system, though, and his registration is up to date, the stickers just haven't come in the mail yet).

Also, 17:30 sounds agonizingly slow to me for a mile and a half. I've run a 5k in 19:40. /brag

So, there was a major fighting game tournament that just took place this weekend called CEO [Community Effort Orlando]. Some of the best fighting game players from all over the world came in to compete, over 2,500 people in total attended. The theme for the event is wrestling [the fake kind], and the winners for each individual games got to take home their very own championship belt.

I'm part of the staff for the event, so I was able to pose with one of the belts before anyone else. I also got 5th place in Divekick, hence the medal.

The California guy with ridiculous facial hair, skinny jeans and a bicycle who MIGHT have a bass, and the big guy with a shaved head, goatee, lots of tattoos and clothing covered in viking runes? I can't see why you'd find either of those intimidating.

But you have the build of a King of the Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_specialist), Patrick! I'm more of a little diesel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_cycling#D), so I spin (http://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sp-ss.html#spin) slowly up Sydney's hills in low gear...

you'd think that, but I've gained 25lbs in the last 6 weeks or so as part of my fitness goal, and a lot of that has been focused on building my upper body in order to make my job a little easier (the stock I move is only about 42lbs/20~kg but I do it probably 150 times per sales floor shift). so whatever notions you may have previously had about my body type, they may be a little outdated. this is what I'm built like nowadays. my bird legs have turned slightly more froglike, which I think is awesome.

for reference, below is me in October, coincidentally in the same pair of jeans. this is actually more of a difference than I thought it'd be, there ain't a single bit of slack left in them anymore.

I've decided to return and make you even more jealous.
Today's jam/recording session was awesome. Got some really decent ideas together and recorded.

Pictured: Fender Champ and Epiphone valve jr. into the 12 inch speaker, signal split by first stereo delay (digital). Second delay splits the signal into separate distortions and from there on into the whammy pedal, which is set an octave down to create a bass into a fender rumble 60 (not pictured, too big to fit next to the others)
Both delays are set for a subtle chorus effect. with the mix in the middle.
Three channels for one guitar track. :D

I do like travelling, but if I could never travel again for some weird reason, the only thing that would make me sad about that would be that I couldn't go visit friends in other countries.

OED cites it from the sixteenth century (though then meaning careless or indifferent, which is closer to the Latin).

I think my main issue with selfies is it takes away the whole "hey, can you take a picture of me" way of making friends...or if not making friends, at least interacting with other people in general.
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool

But it's still possible to make friends and interact with people in a million other ways. That seems like an odd reason to dislike something that other people do.

But what if the other person is in the selfie with you...!!

I hate selfies but only because my camera is shit and I always look extra weird because my eyes are like looking in some dumb direction or looking extra-sleazy when they look right into the camera :o

But I took a selfie just for you :)

Also, I read this thing  (http://reti-cent.tumblr.com/post/74894942142) on selfies today that I totally agree with:
Quote
I’m definitely pro-selfie. I think that anybody who’s anti-selfie is really just a hater. Because, truthfully, why shouldn’t people take pictures of themselves? When I’m on Instagram and I see that somebody took a picture of themselves, I’m like, ‘Thank you.’ I don’t need to see a picture of the sky, the trees, plants. There’s only one you. I could Google image search ‘the sky’ and I would probably see beautiful images to knock my socks off. But I can’t Google, you know, ‘What does my friend look like today?’ For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world – I think that’s a great thing.
-Ezra Koenig

And that's the thing, people who are against them frequently point to them as a sign on vanity or how technology makes us self-centered and unsocial, but in reality most people are sending selfies to their friends, some of whom never get to see them in person.  All of us here are used to interacting with people virtually, and selfies are a way to put an ever changing human face on the real person we are interacting with.  I don't see how posting a ton of selfies is anti-social, infact, I think it's the opposite. Most of my selfies I send to friends as a part of an exchange a conversation if you will.  I use snapchat all the time to send and receive selfies from people who I want socialize with in a carefree, spontaneous way, if you're anti-selfie, you're missing out on a great way to love yourself and share that love with the people you love. 

(ps. that last one is totally the titty dress mentioned in the drunk thread)

Re: selfies-
I love taking photographs. I'll snap any subject matter, really. Digital or film too. Sometimes, I enjoy taking photographs of myself. I don't do it as often now as I used to but I didn't make a conscious decision to take them less. In the 15+ years that I've spent exploring photography, I've taken a number of self portraits. There's nothing wrong with them! They can be an amazing way to explore self expression, experiment with the portrayal of emotions, etc, etc, etc. I don't have a problem with selfies, per se....but I have some gripes about certain aspects of them. (Food for thought- if 1 million people take a selfie, how many of them know that it was derived from "self portrait"?)


1. I don't need to see 5 albums with 40 of the same exact photo in each one. Yes, it's obviously going to be your face in every selfie because that is the nature of selfies. No, we don't need to see a new shot just because your hair shifted slightly. It's not as though it's a huge problem to me, just feels pointless. I just scroll past in those instances but there's usually a slight eye roll that follows. If someone does it enough, I make a point of unfollowing them.


2. It feels like a bastardization of real photography to me. I know this is a serious art snob thing to say and I am partly ashamed but it just drives me crazy to see people posting selfies that have been stuffed through a filter to "antique" them and then all of a sudden everyone thinks they're the next Annie Leibovitz. There's nothing wrong with finding joy in taking pictures- in fact, it's great! It's the lack of knowledge that gets to me. If you want to call yourself a photographer, take the time and effort to delve into this beautiful medium. The possibilities are endless!! Be a part of the movement to keep the arts alive, don't just borrow from them at your convenience to make yourself sound better. Clicking the shutter button on your iPhone makes you a photographer the same way that making boxed mac and cheese makes me a chef. People have taken photographs of themselves and of other people for quite some time now. Before everyone had a camera in their phone, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who claimed to be a photographer when their biggest gig was their cousin's 18th birthday.

I am going to make a Selfie thread, methinks. Not to annoy or upset anyone that doesn't like them, but so that people can post as many as they want, as often as they want, and if you don't like them, you don't have to look at them. I think it will also feel less "serious" than this thread.

I don't have a problem with them, I have a problem when people try to pawn them off as something they are not. (or when they beat me over the head with the same image 40 times...) I just felt like throwing in my two cents because this topic has come up a lot in a number of places in my life recently and I've really been thinking about it a lot. I apologize if it came across as harsh.  :oops:

Try adding a decade and a bit.  The only reasons I haven't finished University yet are that I've changed majors a few times, and that with the crap going on in my head, I've had to take time off.

"Yeah but I could kill you with your own leg then fuck your girlfriend without even bothering to wash the blood off."

"You're fucked up man!"

"And you're apparently a little wimp, and isn't that all that matters in the end? Now beat it before I saw you off at the ankles"

brain's got it right! I'm taking about the Toowoomba City Rollers shirt in the picture I posted, which is a Roller Derby team a former member played on.

As for selfies, there is a specific thread here (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,30048.0.html), but you are by no means required to post there nor are selfies banned from this thread. Post them wherever you like. (Especially since the main purpose of the photo thread is to post pictures of yourself!)

My friends and I went to IKEA for a few things, and took a series of photos in a model kitchen pretending it was ours.  They had to be convinced this would be fun (because they are both anxious introverts) but the photo set has been well received on the book of faces, and I think they're glad they let me make them be silly.

Here is one of mine:

I smiled broadly on the first one because 'smile fuckers' made me laugh, a lot, but the photo was shit so we had to take another one and the smile we're left with is me doing my 'I hope my real smile is still there for this photo that has taken forty years to take' smile.

Really? I think the one I had on my first day (some 17 years ago) was about the same size and it wasn't a particularly big one. Also: Holy shit, it's been 17 years since I entered school? Where did all the time go?

What are the cones for?
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: The Seldom Killer on 22 Sep 2014, 08:56
Animals.

A lot of Germany is overrun by stray kittens, hamsters, ocelots, stoats etc. On the first day of school, children are sent out into the nearby area to collect as many as they can fit in a cone. It marks the entry into local community which educates them and in return they help by catching little animals.

At the end of the day all the animals are released in the school's great hall and the children get to pet them and feed them bits of meat and salad. The next day all the animals will be used to make maths and science cuter to learn. It's proven to be instrumental as to why Germans are typically good at these subjects.

Seriously? That sounds awesome, except for the part where tiny animals are smooshed together in cones

I spent the weekend at the tip of Michigan's middle finger.  The leaves were pretty on the drive up, but they didn't photograph well from the car:

So based on the top image, some idiot hooah just accused me of stolen valor.  Dude I'm wearing jeans, a hoodie and a hat I've had since before your balls dropped. I also happen to have an AR I built myself. There's nothing valorous about any of that. Do you even know what Stolen Valor MEANS? Outside of an American flag patch on my cover I have nothing on that jacket that can be construed as even being related to the military, much less valorous. Important notice: Jeans and a hoodie can now get you mistaken for a Deltaforcerangerseal! We need to take these dangerous tactical garments off our streets.

SV is the act  of a person to fraudulently claim having received any of a series of particular military decorations with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she rightfully did receive that award.

fer instance: Joe Civilian shows up in public in a recognized US military uniform with the Congressional Medal of Honor prominently displayed.  He may even have some bullshit hero story.  His intent: to gain self recognition or any type of benefit for his fraudulent claims.  yes, this has happened.
secondary example: Bob the Veteran who honorably served, decides to 'embellish' his service with a Silver Star or three.  Same intent.  Equllly criminal.

if there is ill-gotten gain, it is a crime: usually felony fraud.
it varies State to State: but just lying about it is a misdemeanor.  it's along the lines of impersonating a police officer.
but then, when an offender is discovered; it is usually by the veteran community.
and the verbal beat downs they can dish out are EPIC.

No, the Ford ASBO was coined by Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson used it to descibe a model of Ford Focus that had been released which was updated to fit in with the hot hatch market popular with young drivers, usually male. The particular model supplied to the programme was painted in a bright and garish shade of Orange.

Some opportunist knocked up some layover decals which became briefly popular with the aforementioned young drivers, usually male. A lot of models of Ford's could never be considered an ASBO.

As an aside I do still hold that it is illegal to drive a Mondeo unless at least one part of the bodywork is in some way held on with duct tape.

Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

Back around the turn of the millenia the UK got very fixed on the term Anti-Social Behaviour. We had a long running stream of moral outrage in the media about kids with hoodies, neighbours from hell, lager louts, shaggalufians and all manner social ills that upset the social elite who felt the hoi and the polloi were horning in on their party. So naturally the Labour Party reverted to their lefty leaning trade unionist roots and started cracking down on the upstart proles.

Cue the ASBO, a toothless ticket to tell the great unwashed that they better toe the line or they'll be on the hook for a stern talking to. As night follows day, ne'er do wells got lawyered up and demanded the basic human right to grate everyone's nerves be respected and wee scally's got shipped off to EuroDisney for a couple of nights if they promised to cry off that their mam didn't love 'em nearly enough. Late night TV pundits spent hours deliberating how this set on the knife-edge between soft touch and cruel and unusual punishment.

These days ASBOs are trawled out in the silly season to cast a disapproving eye on unruly livestock.

Not a complete shower of legal shit though, it paved the way for a wider variety of legal Orders that are used to far better effect such as FMPOs, DVPOs and non-mols

Good to know; I've been reading the Rivers of London series (I heartily recommend same for fans of urban fantasy, btw), and the protagonist owns and drives a Ford Asbo, which I knew wasn't the actual designation (I do know what an ASBO is), but wasn't sure exactly what kind of Ford it was, other than a smallish cheap one.

If you can afford it, it's totally worth it.  Not only can you deal with keystoning, but you can really do a lot with selective focus.  If I could afford a digital back for my 4"x5" cameras I'd totally do it.

It has turned into a meme in the IRC channel around a year ago, and now we made another group buy. I finally have my very own fatfoxes!

I'd be using it more for perspective correction than selective focus, though I'd probably end up experimenting with that, too. The only issue is the price. 1700-2000 bucks or thereabouts for the Nikon mount. I could rent, but the problem with that kind of lens (versus renting, say, a 24-70 2.8 ) is that I'd imagine there's a bit of a learning curve involved... meaning I'd be getting the hang of it just in time to send it back, and then would have to relearn the next time I rented. I do shoot a fair amount of architecture and some interiors, so it's tempting (I can also see where it might be useful for certain types of macro/tabletop work), but I'd have to seriously consider how often I'd use it given the cost. I even looked at LensBaby, but I need the shift -- and good optics -- more than the tilt, and I don't want my stuff looking like it was done on some hipster's duct-taped Holga.

Hit a patch of ice as I was accelerating up the hill, which kicked my back end out. No big deal, right? Turn into the skid, pump the brakes, all the proper stuff. Didn't account for a curb outcropping that jumped up and grabbed my right front tire. My buddy commented on how uncanny it was that the truck managed to miss that sign post as I was spin/rolling across the median.

Yeah, that *is* scary.  Worst I've ever done is do a 360° spin when trying to merge.  No damage to the car, but I was about as shaken as one of Bond's martinis.  I can't even imagine rolling like that, and being able to do so safely.  Best to you Nikolai.

I don't have any pictures of it on my computer, but about ten years ago I was in a similar crash. Only ended up with cuts on my hand from broken glass, but the car was smashed. It didn't help that right after the car rolled over, the driver behind me (who had been following too closely given the icy conditions) smashed into the drivers' side and caved it in.

Edit: I'm guessing you've been?

Quite a few times, usually in the off-season -- I grew up down the shore and I avoid Seaside like the plague during the summer months. Besides the foxes, there're also snowy owls at this time of year (though I have yet to find one). I never seem to see the foxes when I'm on the trails... I think they stick closer to the parking lots because people feed them (even though they're not supposed to).
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Method of Madness on 04 Jan 2015, 18:59
I didn't bother with the trails, I just drove to the end of the road and walked a bit on the beach. But yeah, I saw a few foxes on the road itself (including that one, of course). What a great day that was, not to mention it being over 50 degrees (10C) in the end of December.

Well, if you feel unhealthy, there are plenty of things to do.  Otherwise, different people are attracted to different types.  If that wasn't so, we wouldn't have the diversity we see in the various people we run into every day.  Having been both clinically underweight and clinically overweight in my lifetime has taught me that there is *always* someone who will find you attractive. 

If you want to change yourself for your own reasons, go for it, as long as you don't neglect the whole health thing.  If not, don't bother.  Just be happy.

I'm working on loving my body as it is now. If I love my body, I am more likely to take good care of it, so I can then work on becoming healthier. Not losing weight - I refuse to get a scale, as the number means nothing to me now. I just want to be healthy, whatever weight I end up at will be okay with me.

Not losing weight - I refuse to get a scale, as the number means nothing to me now. I just want to be healthy, whatever weight I end up at will be okay with me.

I hear ya, Neko. I'm coming to terms with that myself. It's odd.....there are so many women that are my size and larger that I think are positively gorgeous, but it's hard to look in the mirror and like what I see. I feel like they own it so much better than I do and carry themselves with that confidence. My confidence ran away about 40 pounds ago and I need to get it back. I think part of it comes from the fact that I was always fairly small and then gained a lot of weight because I stopped taking care of myself- I ate like crap and stopped working out, so a lot of the negativity comes from the fact that I know I stopped caring about myself for a while. It's hard to not feel negative about something you know you did wrong and are trying to fix. The extra pounds are just a physical reminder of that negative mindset/lifestyle.

It's so easy to look at someone else and go "They're doing great! Look at how beautiful and confident they are!" and you kind of forget that they're not this magical creature that was born flawless and they have their own struggles too. I'm trying to keep that in mind because it normalizes my own insecurities and makes me feel a little more ok. It's not as good as completely cutting out comparisons of myself to other people, but it helps to remember that pretty people are still people.

Aaand I went on a tangent here. Sorry, guys!



ANYWAY. You look gorgeous!! You've got serious style.  8-)

At the City of Phoenix Police Crime Lab in downtown Phoenix, there is a wonderful piece of public art. It's a shame nobody knows about it, really, because it's very interesting. Called Pattern Recognition by artists Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schecter (http://www.helmicksculpture.com/pattern.html), the work pays homage to forensic science.

I was wondering about that, but didn't want to pick at old wounds by asking...

Those wounds are healed, and I've moved on :)

I appreciate the concern though, and didn't wanna confuse anyone or make anyone ask. The name is merely a coincidence.

That's weird. I say that because my husband had also been in relationships with two different Sarahs back to back.

To many people named Sarah!

God, my sister is called Sarah, my best friend cum former love interest is called Sarah. The last girl I went on a date with is called Sarah. I have to exercise extreme caution when texting them.

My girlfriend has the same full name as my late grandmother, but they abbreviate it differently.

I'm surprised you got that far, I can't even date a woman who has the same name as my mother, it just feels too damn weird.

I guess I shouldn't have read Oedipus Rex when I was 12...

I went to a wolf sanctuary yesterday, figured it would be easier to just make the Facebook album public than to link all the photos so here it is (https://www.facebook.com/SiecraticMethod/posts/992716494086945). In case that doesn't work here's one of my favorites. The curators rescued a part-wolf/part-dog and they actually walked her around and let her sniff us and lick our hands ^_^

It's a Churchill mark 7 that's parked near Carrickfergus castle near Belfast. There's also a sweet anti aircraft gun parked beside it.  It's literally parked on the side of the road.

Top of the Snake Pass at sunset. They recently closed the road to motor traffic for two weeks to repair some retaining walls so lots of cyclists took the opportunity to ride it traffic free. Technically it was closed to non-motor traffic but the council didn't care enough to enforce that as it didn't really affect works.

Also the picture what I took.

Regular gasoline. Far as I know, at least around here, the only diesel Nissan makes is the Titan.

Your ute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_(vehicle)) looks like what they sell in Australia as the Navara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Navara). It's available in petrol or diesel here, but all the 4x4 models are diesel only. I only asked because diesel engines are the family business. :-)
Title: Re: Photos can be pretty cool
Post by: Nikolai on 19 Jul 2015, 20:42
Yeah, the Frontier is the exact same thing as the Navara, but only in petrol as far as I know. Diesel would be fabulous at the moment; it's 12 cents cheaper a gallon currently.

Wide-stance trikes behave like the three-wheeled Morgan car. The narrow track trike scooters, like the one PWH linked, are not comparable, because they lean into corners just like a two-wheeler. The three-wheeled stance is just to keep them upright at very low speeds or when stationary:
It's also claimed that the double contact-patch at the front makes for safer braking.

Rollover was always the Reliant Robins Achilles Heel.  The problem was the layout.  As you can see by vehicles such as the Morgan Three Wheeler, if you want a stable three wheeled vehicle, you have to have the single wheel in the rear.  Having the single wheel up front is just asking for trouble.  I think the only vehicle that really ever got away with that was the Carver, and that was only because they used a tandem seat body instead of a side by side seat body.

At 9 PM, sun was still up and people were out enjoying themselves. I love summer :)

The first two pancakes (pictured) were ugly but the remainder were the crispy, paper-thin crack-infused love-children of crêpes and dosas.

Bumps are okay usually as long as they're relevant. Hazard of a small community is that certain threads can fizzle out easily.

Nice photo and hair!

Here's one of my favorite photos lately! it's of me, my entire family, my two BFFs, my in-laws and their friends... the only person missing is my husband who was taking the picture. Oh well, can't have it all (he's in plenty other pictures).

I've have never played in anything but standard tuning. So you are correct, Thrillo. I think I was playing 'To Arms' which is in fact also in dm. But then half of the first record seems to be in dm.
