not having a red dodge charger doesn't make you less likely to drink and drive

not having a gun doesn't make you less likely to kill people

Fair, but you'll be more likely in such a murder spree to kill a lot less people with an item that ISN'T. DESIGNED. TO KILL THINGS.

(And a far less related, but nontheless interesting fact; you can drink n' drive on a bicycle, and apparently in the UK it's illegal too)

Ngl saw the news headline as "Naked man attacks Waffle House" and burst out laughing up until I read the details.

Even if he did have "just mental issues" and his guns were taken away from him before (though the BBC states they were handed to his father, and the AR-15 was one of those originally taken from him), why is that ok?

People with mental issues shouldn't have access to firearms until they can prove they're sane enough to use them, it shouldn't be the other way around, i.e. "give them guns and the ones who fuck up get them taken away".

Just continuing orders of 35mm film, a negative scanner, and some B&W developing chemicals.

About 3 hours ago the United States, France, and the UK joined together to bomb Syria.

Not that such trivial, real-life bullshit matters to anyone here.

Then make a serious post you stupid fucker.

New York was quiet that day, having had to recover the gang numbers up from the last shootout.

If I only scanned in the negatives of my and Ec Mrs Chalies travels. I did a ton of pretty good architectural shots and people. That’s one of my regrets. I didn’t keep my negatives.

Completely serious question. What's a negative?

Negatives are the strips of film that have been developed so that you can print them out and look at them directly without the film being destroyed in the process. In the picture below, it's the strip of film above the CD, or the pile below the cat.



So you start off with the roll of film (the thing to the right of the cat), take pictures on an analog camera, then wind the camera up when the roll is filled (usually 24 or 36 shots, or "exposures" as the camera's -CLICK!- noise is it opening a trapdoor to expose the film to the light through the lense for a millisecond or so).

Then you either develop it yourself like the video in the OP (which at one stage you have to do in complete darkness as the film is still sensitive to light), or get it done professionally by mailing the film roll off in the post. When I was young (<2000's) you could just send it off to Boots or most pharmacists as they all had 24/hr development labs. Now it's rare to see, but the cost is about the same regardless (It's like £3-6 a roll to buy, then another £7-9 per roll to get them developed and printed).

The development process "freezes" the light captured on the film, so the film isn't sensitive to light anymore, and brings it out so it's visible on the film as you can see in the little shapes on the film strip.

The reason it's called a Negative is because the developed film comes out in inverted colours - Black is White, White is Black, Colours are their opposites, etc. Only when they are printed out are the colours inverted, which is a double negative (inverting the inverted), so the prints come out in the right colour they are seen irl, like the cat photo on the left.

And/Or you can get them scanned and digitised which adds a bit onto the cost/makes it cheaper than printing them out, so you can shove 'em on facebook or imgur like I do.

Film kinda died out once digital cameras were developed and become cheaper for anyone to buy as the technology progressed. On the bright side, it made professional film cameras dead-cheap. My camera on release in the 1980's would cost a bomb, not to mention the lenses... today I e-bay'd the thing, a flash, and a lense for £40.

Bruh

God forbid, they've edited out the guns of a poster in Spanish.

It's almost like the film won't have any guns at all in it, and it'll just be Han Solo arguing with Stormtroopers over space-parking fees while Chewy in the background rips their arms off and beats them to death with it.

It's just like cigarette advertising laws in the UK - you can't openly show them in a shop, they're behind a screen. There's nothing stopping anybody getting them, they just aren't showing them.

Carrying on with the "offensive" laws then;

This one's not exactly "a joke", but fuck me, 9-10 months in prison?

You can argue that it's treating religious crimes fairly equally what with the examples above offending various faiths or ideals, but c'mon this is a fucking joke. Jimmy Carr has said worse things about retarded people on National TV, and Franky Boyle has alluded to the DUP/Unionist Protestants being outright gay, but some no-name guy with a dog...?

Funny, all the "die-hard" fans are uninstalling Density2 just to go back to Density1.

That's like moving from Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke, it's still shit.

I hear some gun channels have just moved to Facebook or Pornhub.

Imagine that. You'd think liveleak would be a good alternative.

I fish, occasionally I get a mackerel or three.

- Erdogan's a cunt.

- Turkey invaded North Cyprus in the 70's and forcefully evicted the greek Cypriot residents, then sold the land to Turks. Then etched a Turkish slogan into the hills which are visible from all of South Cyprus.

- Supposed to be a geopolitical region of importance (bridge between the East and West), but shits it up on all sides (bought US weapons then invaded Cyprus, shoots down Russian planes, invades Syria, ethnically cleanses folk on both borders, threatens to unleash a tide of refugees/migrants into Europe, etc)

- Ethnic cleansings out the ass

- Has been causing problems throughout all of existence as a region for everyone.

Doesn't that remove the software on it, like the Xbox OS?

Is there anything on old consoles that need 500GB? I remember the Playstation not having a lot.

Good luck, I only have a knack at takin things apart, not putting them back together.

The way I see it, you want to be male, so you changed your gender. Loaf wants to be female, so he took the aspects he likes about females and made it his own thing. Basically you changed because you want to fit a role, and he just put on a dress while still acknowledging that he's a male.

You changed because you were uncomfortable, he didn't because he's comfortable.

I'm not transgender, dipshit. Guys can wear girly clothes too.

Guys don't wear girly clothes. The only ones who do are the ones who want to be girls.

...and transvestites.
