A wonderful time to be alive!

Looks heavenly to me. And the film makes clear what a huge improvement that turnpike was over the road it superceded. I think you've just been brainwashed by the relentless green propaganda that's so ubiquitous these days. It's no secret that your infrastructure is crumbling in America today. You need a massive road-building program just to maintain the status quo. Drag all those drug dealers out of the jails and chain 'em up with picks and shovels. You know it makes sense.

If I spent time anywhere 90 years ago, I'd be dead now.

You'd be in that time machine in 5 seconds flat!

I don't like downtowns in general. Where I live is great.

For well over a century ago when automobiles became more common, in a local newspaper the editor wrote that finally we get rid of drunk coachmen ;-)

Quite a lot. Handheld calculators are much better.

There wasn't any choice.

You've got to get to them, and find the book you need (if it is there) and dig into that book to find the data you want.

Fred frequently knows what he is talking about. So do I. You don't. There are other points of difference.

Cursitor Doom is famously brainwashed by climate change denial propaganda which is much better funded than anything the Green's have to say, to the extent that he confuses scientific fact articulated by professional climate science academics with "Green propaganda".

Actually, it doesn't. Roads are built and maintained with massive - if mobile - machinery controlled by skilled operators. Picks and shovels don't hack it. and drug dealers are not the right people to put in charge of heavy - and potentially dangerous - machinery.

There's an argument for locking up Cursitor Doom someplace where he can't broadcast his dangerously unrealistic delusions.

My last phone was free; I just had to pay the sales tax. It has four camera chips at many color megapixels each.

But they already had self-driving vehicles.

A quiet horse can get a drunk home.

If the horse gets upset and bolts, the passengers it runs away with are more likely to end up in a hospital or a morgue, along with any pedestrian who couldn't get out of the way fast enough.

How sad that the electronics design wasn't remunerative for the producer of the phone. I suspect, however, that there was a monthly-payment contract involved. "Free" might not be the real story.

It was a fun experiment, I know analog camera geeks tend to be sort of like tubeophiles. You can see that the pics from that old Ricoh aren't a super-accurate depiction of reality, but I'd argue the whole "signal chain" adds a somewhat visually pleasing type of distortion.

There seems to be a term, "bokeh", referring to the appearance of the out of focus areas in a shot and whether a particular camera generates a pleasing "bokeh."

Early on it was certainly a rich person's hobby but some of them did photograph and even make moving pictures of daily life for real workers and in many surprisingly exotic locations.

The material I am most familiar with was taken by Gertrude Bell at the turn of the last century and on everything from glass plates to celluloid film. The latter original materials now stored in separate explosive bunkers after being scanned by Newcastle university.

She managed at least two full world tours before specialising in the Middle East - her photos are all that is left of some locations :(

Extensive moving pictures of ordinary life were taken whilst moving pictures were still very new and still exist at the UK photography library. The guy behind it figured out that ordinary people would pay good money to see themselves on film and so he set up outside the factory gates at various major works and showed the results at local cinemas (entire show included other bits that were not local).

It was very fashionable to do this around the 1900's - just before the fashion for photographic postcards really started to take off in the following decade. Many pictures exist of proud shop owner and family in front of their premises and even of just the notable buildings.

Most of the houses in my village have such images made of them. I even possess one for my own house - used as a postcard by a WWI patient in our village hall which was a Red Cross hospital for the duration.

B&W photography became affordable for the amateur enthusiast just post war using bulk film and DIY chemistry but colour photography and cameras with achromatic lenses remained exclusive and expensive for much longer

- keeping full colour images out of reach of most people until the 70's.

It wasn't until around 1971 that true colour imaging of astronomical nebulae became possible (the strong green/cyan OIII line sits right on the safelight colour for conventional colour and panchromatic films).

Prior to that "full" colour images of gaseous nebulae were pink and/or powder blue no hint of the bright green emission! eg. Palomar 1959:

A few smaller planetary nebulae are surface bright enough to see colour with the human eye like the Eskimo nebula discovered by Herschel.

That turquoise colour is pretty much entirely due to OIII.

Psychologists have documented a few common myths, apparently innate, call them human nature. One is nostalgia - "Things were better in days of yore"

The cause of such beliefs is speculative. Probably they're tied to certain ingrained biases, e.g availability bias, recent experience bias, etc. That is, a person lives in the fantasy world inside his own skull, and filters out inconvenient facts. Also, dealing objectively with data is hard, simplification is the path of least resistance. Cherry picking, wishful thinking, you know?

So you get nostalgia -
