@chadgayle.bsky.social per your article, I asked Nippon Photo if they could fix the sticky shutter on my Pearl III and was told they don’t service those anymore. Any idea where else one might look to get a CLA and rangefinder adjustment?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I lost my job today.

The reasons for it appear to be boring and administrative. As of right now, I have no reason to think that it’s related to the current administration (though it’s possible that, indirectly, it may be). (1/2)
