  • TL;DR - article just says they talked to riders in Cruise, who said they had (no evidence provided beyond that).

    Sex or similar activities aren't explicitly banned in Cruise or Waymo's rules.

    Not really sure the article is worth reading beyond that

  • What's your process? Store or home development?
  • I live next to one of the largest (maybe the largest?) film labs in N America, and am friends with a few of the staff. I use them to develop & scan.

    I learned how to develop in school, but since life has gotten busier, I like being able to focus on shooting. Maybe later in life I can do more of the develop & scanning again.

  • Is therapy worthwhile?
  • I have a friend who, going by your comments and posts, was in a very similar situation as you including living with ADHD and autism.

    Most comments here are saying "yes but it depends how you mesh." I'd just say if you focus on someone specializes in or has worked more with folks with ADHD and autism, that will probably help make your selection and evaluation process easier.

    Even if you don't see it listed on their online profiles, you can ask about that in your initial outreach. I think that will help you make the process more effective.

    But I do think that, like with other help topics, if you're willing to put in the work, having that resource can be very impactful.

  • Library \ Lomo Turquoise \ Canon AE-1
  • This is awesome! Thank you for sharing your notes.

    I actually hadn't heard of lomo turquoise before, although some of my favorite visual art uses this color palette.

    Going to dig in and learn more!

  • [image] What I wish high-speed rail were like in North America
  • This is always such an interesting topic. I remember doing a project on this in school. This would be such a nice upgrade for the public.

    The tough thing is how much US rail & land is privately owned by commercial operators. Plus virtually all of that rail would need to be redone to accommodate HSR. Additionally, I think tickets would often need to be subsidized to be competitive to alternatives in many cases (some regional flights will already likely be the same price as what commercial HSR tickets would be).

    The cost always makes it tough to justify versus other potential places for the government to spend its money.

    Not that I wouldn't like to see it done. I think having HSR would be transformative for America in a great way.

  • Kowloon 2017 [RB67, Portra]
  • Given how long ago I took this, I unfortunately don't have lens or ISO details.

    Loved r/analog and never posted there enough. Now I really want to make an effort towards the online film community and not just lurk.

  • Why is Threads, Meta’s Twitter rival, not launching in the EU?
  • TL;DR the particular issue called out in the article is that Threads imports data from IG.

    Meta is in dialogue with EU regulators as whether this would be seen as one social media platform sharing with another. Until Meta gets more guidance on this and any other possible issues, they are holding off launchin in the EU.

  • Astronomers observe time dilation in early universe: Events appear to unfold five times slower when universe was a tenth of its present age, in effect predicted by Einstein
  • I may be off, but I'd auggest looking up an "atomic clock" and either reading about it or watching a short video explanation.

    In short, let's say you built a "clock" that measured time based on how long it took a photon (light particle) to bounce between two sensors (1 bounce = 1 "tick" of the clock). If you began to move the clock through space, the faster you'd move the clock, the longer it'd take the photon to complete one tick because the photon is now moving angularly with the clock. You can take this to the most extreme by theoretically moving the clock at a speed arbitrarily close to the speed of light, where it'd almost never complete the "tick."

    I believe that is the principle at play here when they're measuring light from ancient phenomenon like quasars. What they're finding interesting is that, based on their math, effectively the shape of the light wave from those quasars is different than if those quasars were currently happening, which they can use as evidence that these events unfolded at a different "speed" than our current universal conditions.

    That's just my best attempt to connect concepts I've studied to what is clearly a far more complex analysis. Still, I hope some of that helps introduce the relevant concepts to interested minds.

  • So, what's up? Everyone doing good? How was your day?
  • Pretty good! Been hanging out with an old friend all day today. I missed him and really appreciated remembering how much fun a good friend is.

    Also made an account on Her (social app) for the first time. I already got people messaging me and it's been an incredible boost. Very excited!
