This is a fair question and one I'd like to hear the answer to
I’m always struck by how old recipe books just have a list of ingredients and then basic instructions. Like how are we supposed to know that the author first fell in love with this dish when on holiday with a now ex in Tuscany proving that every cloud has a silver lining…?

for those who think russia can't buy Europe, because Europe is so special or whatever I don't know, look at how easy it was for putin to buy USA rendering it useless at policing the world and weak in relation to russia
USA right now is weaker than russia.....

Embarrassing, isn't it?
just think about this for a second....
Ukraine has been blasting russia with everything it can striking ships, oil terminals, air bases, factories and even went as far as making an incursion into russia
while NATO is afraid to shoot down a russian drone without a person in it

Can't help but think a V-10 diesel would almost always be used along with a 50 ft + trailer 😳
Bad idea, or _extremely good_ idea? Yes, it's the V10 diesel (in the running for VW's craziest engine ever), yes, it burns oil, and yes, the check engine light is on 🙏.

This is my other Nicca Type 3s, which has a few issues. I picked this one up at an estate sale not for the camera, but for the ridiculous box of period accessories that came with it. Lenses, filters, spare parts, film, some of the items I didn't even know existed!

This is my beautiful Nicca Type 3s from the early 1950's. As close as I'll ever get to owning a Leica unless I find one alongside the road. Fully functional and driven with fair regularity, it's possibly my favorite

This is my Ricoh 500, which I believe to be from 1957. Looking near the bottom you can make out the large "Triggermatic" film advance lever that allows operation without lowering the camera from your eye

I've been seeing a lot of really cool vintage cameras in my feed, so thought I'd share a few of mine. This is my Yashica Electro 35 that has become a real go to over the last couple of years. Only after I found the 3D printed battery adapter, of course. It was dead prior to that

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

My Spotify playlist: I don’t have Spotify. I was under the impression that we weren’t supposed to.
Anyway, here’s the list of songs I listened to this year:
All the songs that I liked when I was in college.
I highly recommend you also listen to all the songs you liked when you were in college.
