I mean, call me old fashioned but if you want to show surgeons “the shortest, valid path between two points" there's a lot to be said for a hammer and a six-inch nail.

does this stuff not have to go through some regulatory process before it's released into the wild?

I look back on a more innocent time when I didn't know what xG meant.

yep

Those look nice. Are you masking off the sprocket holes or just editing them out?

I'm in the UK. If I could vote for Louise Lucas I would.

prompted me to dig out this Frankenstein's monster. Cut and shut a cheap 6x6. Thank goodness for gaffer tape. I found an add-on adapter lens for something or other that made a viewfinder.
1, 4, 7, 10 written all over to remind me of the wind-on numbers.
Fair to say your build quality beats mine.

With the 120, I could load in a lighted place, but I had to unload in a darkroom or bag, and I can see that would be an issue outdoors.
Thanks for responding. I'm curious to see how your project works out.

I see.
I used to shoot 120 in old 3A folders, using my own adapters, and the red window was sure handy. It was a c. 13cm film gate, and the change in count as the film advanced was an issue.
I assumed if I tried 35mm I'd just blank off the window.

can you explain why you're using backing paper?
can't you just run the 35mm across the film gate with an adapter to support the 35mm cassette, and a simple extended take up spool?
I've seen adapters for 35mm across 120 cameras paperless.
What size of camera are you running the 35mm through?

Are there other people out there who've had their email trashed since #Plusnet passed email handling over to #Greenby.

I've lost all the subfolders for my email inbox, including the emails that were in them. Greenby's support staff claim they've been reinstated.

Anything from Plusnet on this?

I've lost about 2/3 of my emails, everything that was in a subfolder. They've now restored some of the folder structure, though some folders are greyed out. Message filters don't work and I can't manually drag emails to folders.

'it's just a little prick with a needle'

always here for some comedy

This feels a bit like Andrew M-W telling Maitlis he was perhaps too honourable in sticking with his pal Epstein.

'I'm sorry I was more loyal to my friend, who'd already been repeatedly shown to be a sleazeball, than to Epstein's victims'

is the water properly hot?

is it hot like a Yorkshire person makes tea, by heating the pot to the point of incandescence?

we scorn 'boiling' and laugh in the face of 'scalding'

Thank you, Barry Gardner, for your anger at those trying to make this about the left v the right of the Labour party.

Childhood sexual abuse is not rare. There are tens of thousands of victims across the UK.

Starmer appointing Mandelson to any political post, knowing the continuing friendship with Epstein, is a complete failure of moral judgment. It legitimates the rape of children.

He has to go. #Newsnight.

A moment of genius. And I'm here to tell you that even Morley has posh bits.

so he takes a dislike to one of your tweets and the next time you get into your Tesla it blasts you into space ..

You'll find Wiki covers Moltke and the Kreisau Circle .. but

Read 'Letters to Freya' .. he wrote to Freya from Berlin almost every day. Vivid descriptions of the bombed city. Love letters. Insight into the resistance.

One of the most wonderful books you'll ever read.

swept up in the wave of arrests after the Stauffenberg bomb plot, Moltke was executed in 1945.

This quotes the letter to his children which he wrote not long before his trial and execution.

An eloquent repudiation of cruelty.

Moltke, and his wife Freya, both lawyers, led the most organised resistance movement, the Kreisau Circle. They built an entire government in internal exile.

Moltke's cover was, he worked for the Abwehr, the Wehrmacht's intelligence section, under Canaris. (In which role he saved many lives).

So many comparisons, ICE and the Gestapo, the Trump admin and classic fascism.

How about a change: let's look at members of the German Widerstand, the resistance, the people who kept the best of Germany alive.

Occasional posts of heroes, some well known, some less.

1. Helmuth James von Moltke ..

could you not just flog the workers harder to get more out of them?

Scottish and grew up in Yorkshire here. It's wonderful. It's like it makes me feel at home two times over.

it's absolutely fucking grand. But then, I'm Scottish.

is it true he's combing unredacted Epstein files?

"I came across your email address and wanted to let you know that the DOJ has openings ..."

footnotes. (3/2)

Poelchau said he felt as if he died himself with each execution.

Post-war, examining prison records confirmed the 1000+ figure.

It says, at least, that for every cruelty there was an act of exceptional kindness and courage.

until the NS authorities forbade him going with them that last part of the way. Because they saw that those about to be executed drew some comfort from Poelchau's presence in the very last moments. They didn't want the prisoners to have that last comfort. 2/2
