    More news on #Regina's elimination of #coin payment at downtown #parking meters. For those who missed the last episode of "Clueless Elected #Politicians Who Think Everyone Lives Exactly Like They Do", the city switched to electronic-only payments that (a) absolutely require you to use a cell #phone to pay, and (b) route all payments through a US-owned company that won't guard your personal information.

    From the article:

    > Council also approved #Mayor Chad #Bachynski’s suggestion to introduce prepaid parking
    > vouchers as an additional option [...]
    >
    > The pre-paid vouchers are [...] offered in packs of five for $13.75 at city hall and are
    > valid at any regular parking meter.

    Note: you can't park at city hall without plugging a meter. So you'll need a parking #voucher before you can go purchase parking vouchers.

    This price also means it costs three times as much to park for a half hour as it did previously. If you were used to running brief errands and only plugging a quarter into the #meter, it'll cost *twelve* times as much.

    > “[The vouchers] are less convenient than the #app,” acknowledged the city’s director of
    > community standards, Faisal Kalim, after the meeting. “Our message for residents is
    > to download the app. It is a good system and it is a practical way to park.”

    "You don't have a smart phone? Our message is just go get a smart phone."

  4. We are mundane and biological.
    We are gross and physical.
    We are erratic and chemical.

    We are beauty in math/s from minima-bound graphs.
    We are dull and prosidical, sharper mit flaws a'full.
    Cores of a corps, in course of a gull,
    Not crows but stroll in a droll sort of form.

    Encircle no pleading and suffuse your meaning to make plain your greeting: unfanciful fleeting as when now we live.

    Concern yet afford to fear none aboard nor differ them shored. Let thus be adored!
    And when we are not: let strain have forgot, rage unfair not wrought, and druthers yet taught.

    Your pain and your rage and your fear and your shame,
    your worries, woes, injury, illnesses plain:
    Feel and let fall, befell any pall
    by knowing or awe. (Be who Young!You sought.)

    Your choices are yours of what will come forth.
    (Now wait for commenters' witty retort!)

  9. How the “meter” came to be exactly one meter long In the search for a universal standard of distance, scientists have defined and redefined the meter over and over again. After centuries of change, this 1983 definition should last forever. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #measure #meter

  10. My latest Zeiss lens arrived, 35mm multi-coated goodness. Finally found converters so the Canon (EF mount) lenses can come here to the M42 screw mount & vice versa. I’m only on frame 19 which is great - been using my SMC (SUPER Multi Coated LOL) Asahi (Pentax) #Takumar 55mm lens so far this roll, which is radioactive, thank you very much.

  11. The long lens arrived! My first roll with my Pentacon Six is in the mail to the developer, we’ll see how the 80mm Zeiss looks. It shoots only twelve 6 x 6 cm exposures per 120 film roll. This lens is 180mm focal length, auto or manual aperture (so you can focus wide open) setting. Now to find lens caps front and rear.
