So hot. Bring back double round headlights, not this transformer-looking shit we have on modern sportbikes.

Low-resolution screenshot of the Hitler character from Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Titles state that this was in 1924, making Hitler about 35.
Played the first couple of levels of Command & Conquer: Red Alert (1996) on my retro PC today for the first time since the '90s. I forgot that time-traveling FMV Einstein "eliminated" young FMV Hitler at the start of that game, lol.

Too little, too late. The sudden price hike from $20 to $30 a few months ago permanently soured me on #gamepass, and I'm not going back.

Photo of a 1975 Honda CB750F in a garage. The bike's lights are on. A black metal aftermarket flyscreen has been mounted above the headlight.
I put this cheap generic/universal Amazon flyscreen on the ol' CB750 today. Had to dremel out the mounting holes on the brackets that came with it because the headlight bolts on the CB are massive, lol.

There is the old adage of the fun that is riding slow bikes fast though!
Just placed an online order for pickup at Panda Express and was solicited to get a Capital One credit card, a three month subscription to Sirius XM, and a coupon for Fabletics.
FUCK OFF, YOU ALREADY GOT MY MONEY.
Me too, now that it's available to ship to the US for less than a million dollars!
I dunno, I ride the shit out of my 1975 CB750.

I want it.

I really want to try a Z900RS some time. One of the sexiest of the modern retro bikes.
That is a thing of beauty.
I'll check out Zerene, thanks! I've tried Darktable and RawTherapee a few times, but haven't been able to get comfortable with them (skill issue).
Macro photo of a bright red shutter button on a Fuji X100F camera. Lots of disgusting grime is visible around the power switch just under the shutter button. Gross.
My first attempt at focus stacking, not really knowing wtf I'm doing. Stack of 50 3-second exposures in low light. All that grime around the X100F's shutter/power switch isn't visible to my naked eye!
Also my first time using Affinity. Linux version plz?

I noticed this effect! Thanks!

I only got slightly damp on the ride to work this morning

Tomorrow marks the first day this year where all of these conditions are likely to be true:
1. It won’t be freezing
2. It won’t be pissing rain
3. I need to be in the office
Thus I get to ride to work for the first time in ages.

Took my Tiger 1200 out for a rip today after only riding the vintage CB750 for months. I kinda forgot how stupid fast that big heavy beast can be after getting used to the CB with less than 50% of the power…

For real. I have my own preference in distro but that’s about as far as it goes. I couldn’t give a shingle shit what init system or whatever that someone uses.
Black and white photo of interior construction of a restaurant site. A set of work lights on a stand are visible in the center of the frame. The scene is softly lit by dull window light.

Photo of a stained glass shop in downtown Aurora, Illinois. There are mosaic tiles on the wall, and an illuminated stained glass sign that says 'ART'. A smaller chalkboard-style sign says 'Archetype stained glass and Fox River Fine Art - 33 South Broadway'.

It's been quite rainy here this week.
