I am so sorry for your loss. Thanks for speaking up about something so difficult. 💚

Okay excellent. That stuff was kinda weird lol

I said this in Jamelle’s thread too but don’t sleep on the books! There’s so many and you get to see so much more of both the galaxy and the timeline. The writing can be sort of plain and not the best paced, but the stories and characters and places are *there*

Also to get it you have to write an essay, do a video interview with an AI, do a cognitive assessment, try not to get ghosted, do more free work for them, get through 7 rounds of interviews and hope it’s even a real posting. 😒

I love Capture One as a Lightroom replacement. Easy catalog import, similar interface, and you can choose one-time purchase or subscription.

Lotta people in the comments need to read the extended universe books; the writing quality could be better on some but they actually go into the galaxy and way more interesting stuff happens

Also, in the spirit of takes: the animated Clone Wars is better than the newest trilogy

This is really awesome; thank you for your work on it!!

Thank you!!

Wait say more about the direct mail scams? I was raised evangelical conservative and have been trying to understand all the dominos going into that, but this is news to me

I have! They do good work, on more obscure cameras there can be limitations of what’s fixable but you’ll probably be okay with that particular thing. I’ve been waiting for them to open up the next round of repairs for a Nikon F2 that used to belong to a friend’s dad

That’s a good strategy! Hahah yeah for sure

This is like the longstanding joke with water-based-paint artists that you have a Paint Water cup and a Not Paint Water cup. This is also why we don’t use dishes for oil painting lol

Also teeechnically some apples like Northern Spy are later-season ones. So “apple season” is long and that is an excellent thing

Ah, families, grumble mumble. Sending solidarity!

100%, it’s really worrying how much they could wreck and the consequences for kids 😩

I am sorry about yours, that sucks
