I’ll once again bring up that any “oops sowwy, we fowgot dese pwaceholder textuwes” that some studio uses as an excuse when caught using AI is patently bullshit
Why the fuck would you ever use a placeholder texture that looks real. You WANT a placeholder to scream “shit is broken” or isn’t finished

Finally done cleaning the unfinished side of the basement. Time for another four furnace fillers because I’m going to be running dual box fan air scrubbers while I clean the finished side of the basement. This carpet is probably fuuuuucked

There was a microwave on top of the film fridge and I wiped around it before moving it. All that dust that is there regardless of the microwave blocking the rest of that surface
That door is the darkroom door, and I am not feeling confident when it’s time to pop it open

Ordered hydroquinone, hypo, and more phenidone from artcraft. I'm going to try adapting a monobath recipe that uses 1% NaOH to accelerate the development.
Although, every peel apart film recipe I've seen uses CMC as the emulsifier but I've already got gum arabic on hand so I'll try subbing it out

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Great example of print silvering on this portrait of (probably?) my grandmother. Probably from the mat being acidic

Just found an old wooden CCM stick signed by the entire Cincinnati Swords roster. A hockey team that only existed for like 3 years in the 70s

In the past two days I’ve burned through 3 cans of endust and worn a respirator for about 18 hours so far. Had to detour this morning to dig my car out of the snow and buy more cleaning supplies.
There’s so much concrete and drywall dust

Mom’s been playing mahjong with the other retired women and said “scadole” which prompted someone she never met to go YOU CALL ESCAROLE THAT TOO? and they apparently went so hard into being Italian that it made the white bread Germans uncomfortable

There's a file on my corpo laptop that I titled "please-god-why.xlsx" and I've forgotten what it is but, knowing me, the filename is well deserved. It will remain a mystery.

I've been burning through P100 filters for my respirator and furnace filters for my DIY air scrubber at an alarming rate. Would've been cool if they set up a proper barrier instead of loosely draping plastic over things
