In fact, “Official” is the tier that used to be called “Classified.”

How about that.

“Official Sensitive” is a pretty standard, low ish-grade “catch all” protection level, not particularly high. “Official” is the lowest of the three tiers and “Sensitive” basically means “not for public release.”

I listen to music or read a book.

The new iPhone 17 Pro Max, no less!

I wonder why this could have happened. It’s obviously a complete mystery.

Yup, just off Wapping High Street and is now a "gated" development. The milk float is gone though.

This is where the wonderful diffusion filter comes in handy with modern sharp lenses.

They weren’t dead but they were only sleeping.

I had much this discussion about my most excellent bubble tea.

They often lead to codes because the two tracks of the pot lead to different positions and hence the ECU says “nope.”

The position potentiometers wear. Now you have the old one out you can have a go at sprucing it up, maybe replace the pots if possible or clean with a bit of Deoxit. It can’t hurt and you’ve nothing to lose!

Yup. I stopped playing electric instruments and switch to brass, much more satisfying, a more intimate feeling with the instrument.

Late to the war is it.
Ok, understood.

Is that a record player?

47 years? Oh, you mean when the US-supported/installed Shah was deposed? Gotcha.

s there an echo in here? ;-)

To be fair it's more of a lazy shorthand that I still hear used in the DR as it implies the Graflex in a particular configuration.

That pint is way, way short. To be fair I suspect the glass is 10% too small for a pint anyway but the fizz doesn't help at all.

Well yes, that is correct but Graflok is often used synonymously.

Ah ok, understood. 👍

The Graflok is a fine camera and doesn’t need Lomofication.

Well, a percussionist is not necessarily a drummer so this might not work as well as you think; 15 minute marimba solo…

I see your three-piece and raise you a brass band.

In the UK we have a word which encapsulates a response to Johnson's assertion: "bollocks"

"Laws" don't matter to this regime.

No, it’s not a major change in anything. It has always been the stated aim.

No, it is not. It has never been.

Besides, why does it need to “taming?”

“Game plan?”

A game?

This is NOT a game.
People are being killed.

The US has already done this numerous times over the past decade, just as a starting point.

Why do this when you had announced that everything in Iran was gone?
