What town was that in? I used to live in Jersey City and every other block in my neighborhood was listed because of hexavalent chromium contamination.

Can I ask which news? I'm already a happy Fastmail customer, just curious.

Can I ask what state/country/region you're in? What's the typical low temperature for winter in your area?

Color film is based on silver halides but has built-in dye couplers and filters to represent the color details. Any color film developed with chemicals intended for black and white film will come out as black and white film. There is a Flic

I've developed direct positive paper with caffenol in order to get a nice sepia tone. In my experience, caffenol smells terrible . If you do decide to experiment with it (and you should) I would recommend getting the absolute cheapest

I managed to control my serious ant problem by feeding them. I would set up plates of sugar or sugary food outside, away from the house. Over time I got fewer and fewer scouts coming in to the house to snoop around.

Are you familiar with daylight tanks for film processing? They work as advertised using right angles.

It was actually published today!

That was written to be tongue in cheek. This is not actually copy written in the 1940s. > this is to be enjoyed and imagined, not taken for fact. Read with a speedy wartime radio advert voice.

Ok, I’ll ask. How would you describe it?

You don't have to suspect these things, because they are correct. Almost all spray sunscreen has been found to contain benzene: https://www.valisure.com/blog/valisure-news/valisure-detects...

It looks like the camera uses a Mamiya RB67 back. You can get an adapter from various places (e.g. http://www.silvestricamera.com/assets/files/7006_7012_Mamiya... ) to act as an interface between a Hasselblad V-com

Even if that were true, and it's not clear that it is, the side effects of infection are far, far worse than whatever side effects the vaccine might have.

I'd rather get the vaccine multiple times than to be infected multiple times. I don't understand why this is controversial.

- Acquired immunity fades with time - You aren't required to get the vaccine, you can undergo weekly testing instead

I've been doing this for several years, and it doesn't seem to reduce the number of ads I get. I just start getting absurdly irrelevant ads. A memorable one was for @7Up_Nigeria. I live near NYC.

I'm not really into the idea of just killing everything that annoys me.

I have three cats and they don't seem to affect the ants at all. They won't eat them because they're bitter. It's possible you're on to something. When an ant is killed/crushed, the body releases a chemical tha

Instead of trying to keep them out, consider giving them an alternative. I put small piles of sugar outside of my house in the hopes that they won't need to go exploring for food. So far it has greatly reduced (but not eliminated) mass

Funny, I just harvested my first bloom of blue oyster mushrooms last night too. I couldn't believe how good they were.

This is an incredibly complicated and abstract subject, yet you have somehow managed to boil it down into a sweeping generalization about the basics of media and reporting. Masterfully done.

The NYT sort of explained that repeating the experiment in Brookhaven would have cost a lot of money but wouldn't have resulted in an increase in accuracy that was worth that amount of money. Presumable other equipment exists at Ferm
