The way this technique works is not a standard film photographic exposure, the paper responds very differently in this process to normal processes. In effect what you have is the Sun burning a line onto the paper. This actually means that y

Does anyone know who pays for this process? I would imagine the owner of the ship, but I imagine there's a non-zero likelihood that something like this could bankrupt them. In that case... is there mandatory insurance or similar?

We were already maxed out on closeness: X- XX was the arrangement if I recall. I think the spaces thing would work well but sounds like it could remove some of the fluidity of meeting anywhere, bumping into people in the 'hallway'

Has anyone here used it and could comment on its efficacy for people with say, good high school + some college courses knowledge of maths looking to grow? I've seen more than enough adverts for it on youtube but would love to hear thou
