Took ages to stack but yay!
Seriously though. So. Many. Airplanes.
Any chance of a higher resolution version of that for desktop background purposes? Pretty please with stars and stripes (or, stars-that-are-stripes) on top?Took ages to stack but yay!
For sure! I'm on a work trip but can send one when I return. Send me a message with your email?

If you say that 3 times, The Jannisary appears.
I had to claim google ad income on a Sched C long before I started making author money.
I don't make much with them anymore--well under the $600 threshold for reporting purposes. But I still claim them, because then I get to deduct all of the related service fees (hosting, domain registration, etc) as a business expense.

You uploaded directly to halforums, which has a maximum resolution and thus lowers/compresses their size, reducing details.Drinks all around!![DOUBLEPOST=1422060691,1422060533][/DOUBLEPOST]My minor victory:

You might try hosting on another site, such as imgur, and pasting the pictures here.
Thanks, that makes sense. I won't be able to access the raw files until my series of pictures is done but I'll try then.
You might try and save it as .PNG also. A .PNG file has better detail retention/less artifacting (though they tend to be larger).
Anything that has lots of transitions (bright things right next to dark things, black letters on white backgrounds, etc.) is probably better served by .PNG instead of .JPG.

Interesting. If I put ads back on here I could totally do this!
(I won't. I like the place ad free even if I don't get my $75 a month from revenue.)
You know, you're supposed to remind us yearly or so of our part in the upkeep expenses.Or, opn up a Patreon account for HF? I could see that work
I finally got to bring my car home from work! It's been sitting there since the week before Christmas because every time I drove it I was getting light headed, dizzy, and feeling like I was going to pass out, which just isn't good at all for driving. Well, my diabetes is much more under control now, I don't have weird problems with my vision (got my eyes tested), my heart and lungs are healthy and clear (got those tested), etc. etc. etc. My car was (and still is a little bit) just absolutely filthy. I suspect black mold has made its way from the shitty old apartment I used to live in to the car, and bloomed over time. I'm fine driving it with the windows down, or with the windows up, if the windows have previously been down all day to allow the car to air out.
So, at the end of Feb me and the wife are flying to Wisconsin to bring her kid down here for the next 6 months.. So that's a thing.
