It looks like stacked plus signs on some of the building edges, so I’d say he did some partial line feeds (at the very least). He probably manipulated the carriage for each stroke. It’s a beautiful picture and shows remarkable talent.
Manual typewriters (the ones I remember) had it where two “clicks” of the roller gave a complete line feed. The purpose of this was to provide subscripting if necessary. Pushing the carriage return lever automatically advanced it the two clicks. Needles to say, the user had to be aware of any subscripting in the previous line and manually advance the roller another step to prevent typing over the subscript in the previous line.
I used a typewriter that had a knob at each end of the carriage. If you used the knob at the CR lever end you got the expected snaps, but if you used the other knob, the roller rolled smoothly allowing any desired spacing. I don’t remember if that was my portable or my mom’s Woodstock
My manual typewriter, which had been my father’s, so was probably made in the early 40’s, had a large “return” lever to advance a full line.
IIRC, there was a smaller lever (maybe behind it ?) that completely loosened the roller (platten?) so you could use the knob to move the paper incrementally.
The problem was it didn’t really grip the paper, so it might slip, not just up or down, but crookedly.
There were also little knobs, at least one with a spring underneath, to select line spacing and margin stops.
….
Don’t ask me why I remember all this…
Dad gave me the typewriter while I was in high school. We still wrote our papers in longhand, so I’m not sure what I used it for.
I HATED doing homework. I think I examined the typewriter in great detail as a form of procrastination.
…
I moved it to every place I lived, for for probably 15 or 20 years… though I never did learn to type properly.
Even on a computer I still hunt and peck with one finger, occasionally two…. though fairly quickly now.
I was just thinking (always a bad sign) that it’s a good thing we never see storm troopers as bartenders. I would be extremely uneasy ordering a flaming alien brain hemorrhage shot from someone who can never hit what they shoot at.

. And trust me, if there is one thing I do NOT have, it is good vision. Without the wondrous things achievable in eyeglass production today, I couldn’t see squat. To say nothing of the medical breakthroughs that are now routine.
That is great. This pooch is totally having a blast playing a game that he just made up on the spot. He can play the game for as long as he wants, and walk away happy, hungry, and tired. Just how you want to take a kid home.
I loved it so much I can’t even say bad things about the human copy… Though of course the original basset version is better.

With Cleo as Sally Bones, one of my favorite film characters ever.
Based on a book of short stories I loved.
Full of wonderful Kander and Ebb music, and themes that echoed parts of my own life….
Not the singing, or the howling, cos I’m far worse at both than Sally Bones was ever meant to be…
Not to mention that both Cleo and that human woman, who took the role in the people version, were far more talented than Christopher Isherwood, the author of the stories, ever intended Sally to be.
In fact he strongly objected to both castings.
But I thought they were great…. and I practically wore out both soundtrack albums.
I saw it on TV only. The editing was so badly butchered it wasn’t until the fourth viewing I realized there was any connection between the musical numbers and the “real life” action.

I hope that’s not a still from the movie.
Well, it IS pretty still...

I have a feeling he didn’t just load the paper into the typewriter the normal way, and start tapping the keys, 60wpm.
It looks like stacked plus signs on some of the building edges, so I’d say he did some partial line feeds (at the very least). He probably manipulated the carriage for each stroke. It’s a beautiful picture and shows remarkable talent.
And a remarkable amount of patience.

Star Wars Legos!
I need a Wookie!
Too many hairs in the drinks 🙂
I won’t let him serve drinks, I promise.
They’d be too tiny anyway.
Janet Leigh
It certainly is.
I’ve read that Janet Leigh was so traumatized, not by filming, but by watching, her shower/murder scene in “Psycho”,…
that she refused to take showers for the rest of her life.
Diamond Head, Oahu
I believe that it’s a park.
I wonder about those triangular symbols(?), bigger than houses, that could be signage, but appear to be carved into the side of the mountain.
What do they mean and how did somebody do it?
Maybe pillboxes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Head,_Hawaii
They are gun emplacements to protect the harbor. I have been climbing through them.
Thanks!
Two seconds! Just lucky?
I found it quickly, but didn’t time it. It was under 10 sec.
Same here.
Me too. My eyes just dropped down, right to it.
Not tonight.
(I have got to get my eyes checked!)
Yes, you do. Don’t ignore eye problems. Once your vision is lost, it’s gone.
I found it, I believe
Yes, to me, the spring almost is too visible for this to actually be a puzzle.
I’m not going to post a solution… Liverlips found it. That should do.
But I will give a hint… In case someone can’t see it and wants help….
Quite a bit thicker than the screws, and to me, doesn’t really look as though it could be confused with one.

Just as I was admiring this magnificent cat, my mini black panther (Dudley) chirruped and jumped up beside me.
That is great. This pooch is totally having a blast playing a game that he just made up on the spot. He can play the game for as long as he wants, and walk away happy, hungry, and tired. Just how you want to take a kid home.
What a naughty roll for such an innocent puppy!
Innocent??? Our Cleo???
♫ Kibble makes the world go around… ♫
Hmmm… what kind of sound?
Cos kibble doesn’t clink and clank.
That munching, crunching sound?
Dry kibble clanks as it pours into a metal dog dish.
Yup. Buddy knows that sound.
One of my all time favorite movies!
I loved it so much I can’t even say bad things about the human copy… Though of course the original basset version is better.

I’ve read that a major plot point was edited out of the movie for showing on TV…
That was years ago, and times were different, so I don’t know whether that version is the only one still shown.
It completely changed the point of the relationships between the three main characters.
Sally and Brian were portrayed as having a relationship, overcoming Brian’s initial reluctance.
Then the wealthy Maximilian comes along and seduces Sally.
In the movie, Sally confesses to Brian that she also sleeps with Max, and Brian says “so do I”…
Max has been seducing both of them, so Brian is gay, or at least bisexual.
It was considered “unacceptable” for such a thing to be shown on mainstream TV.
But not wanting to trap Brian in a heterosexual relationship provides context for Sally giving up the baby and her dreams.

“The Good the Bad and the Ugly”.
It certainly is.
I think it’s a great picture of the three of them.
The title always confused me. None are particularly good and they’re all pretty ugly. Good movie though.
Well, the movie does label them as they appear.
I think our standards are just not quite compatible with the labels.
I’m not sure whether I think Tuco, the Ugly or Angel Eyes, the Bad, is actually the ugliest.
No question that the man with no name .. Blondie? … is the only candidate for Good.
He may be amoral and a thief but he’s neither as bad nor as ugly as the other two.
Blondie is correct per IMDb; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_q_The%2520Good%252C%2520the%2520Bad
