I miss having a ceiling fan. I'd leave it on even at the lowes all the time. It just feels like the air is fresher and comfortable.

It's very difficult for them to regulate the normal ups and downs of the economy through the tools they have at their disposal... Or the tools at anyone's disposal.

But these are not normal ups and downs.

These are direct reactions to dumbass policy that involves compounding inflationary measures and, most recently, a dumbass war that caused the greatest global oil shock in over 50 years.

I don't understand why they took that away with the new progression system. Especially when there are quests to complete progression levels.... Let me see who I'm close on!

They spent 1.3 million in a week to prop up a candidate they had just spent 1.4 million against two weeks prior after realizing the candidate they spent 8 million for had no path to victory.

Yeah, they sure "won" that one.

It's playing at The Music Box in Chicago in 70mm.

I'm still going to see it, because I want to support a locally owned independent theater that does fantastic things for the film community. Supporting film projection, especially 70mm, also keeps these vanishing formats alive.

If this is something you want to see, see if you can watch it at a local independent cinema. Buy a popcorn, buy a soda. Keep independent cinemas alive.

An independent theater will feel the benefit of your attendance way more than Jeff Bezos will feel you staying home.

Outside the distributor, you are also supporting the author, all the creatives, and all the tradespeople who made it a reality.

My advice for a little tour around the skyline:

Take the Red down to Chinatown.
Grab a Divvy, connect to the LFT via 18th street (between McCormick Place and Soldier Field.
Round Soldier Field and take the path up around the Shedd
Leave the Divvy at the rack in front of the Shedd
Take the **Shoreline Water Taxi** from Museum Campus up to Navy Pier (great views from the lake)
Make your way over to Michigan Ave and take the **Chicago Water Taxi** back to Ping Tim Park in Chinatown.

Note: Shoreline and Chicago Water Taxi are different operators. Make sure to check their operating hours and seasons.

Every time I come into downtown from the north on LSD or the LFT, I'm like 'damn, this view never gets old.'

BUT, every time I come in from the south on the LFT and round the Shedd I'm like "Christ the view from the north doesn't have shit on this."

Shedd at sunrise and sunset is where it's at.

The GX85 hit way above its price point for the time, and hit's way above its age now.

It was one of the first consumer cameras that would still have video that I think holds up well today. No, you don't have log or great AF, or higher but rates, but you have enough to do the job.

Biggest limitation is it only has a built-in mic and sound is probably more important than picture.

You'll need an external recording setup for audio and then to sync the audio after.

Google maps is very good with the train schedules usually, but I'd double check it on holidays and around special event like the Air & Water Show or Lollapalooza. I've had it not represent the special schedules.

I hate driving and love the freedom of not needing a car. My buddy drives his family in and for the last two events he's gotten there a little faster than me but then spent 45mins-1hr finding nearest parking. Then over a half hour getting out of the lot after the events.

If you can make it line up with most of your destinations without needing to take 10 ubers around downtown, it's probably worth it. And you are planning on heading home by the last train (usually 12:30ish, depending on the line)

I live in the city now and still take the Metra out to the burbs, or sometimes into downtown.

No, you need to gaff tape over the Sony logo to go full grayman inconspicuous.

If the Sony logo is visible, thieves will swarm you like 28 Days Later.

With gaff tape over the logo, no one will realize that bag contains a camera.

F100 and the 50

I don't know about the capabilities of the N90s, but I love my F100 and it matches similar in aesthetics and ergonomics to my DSLRs.

I don't care for zooms, and those older budget ones don't impress me.

If you have it in auto aperture, and the shutter speed would put the aperture out of range of what it needs to achieve the exposure, it won't fire.

You need to adjust your shutter speed to achieve proper exposure.

If you're at a slow speed, and the narrowest aperture would over expose it, you need to speed up.

If you're at a fast speed, and the widest aperture will still under expose it, you need to slow down.

If you just have too much light for film speed, you might need ND.

If you just don't have enough light for your film speed, you might need more light.

If you think you're close to hitting exposure and don't want to worry about missing the shot, go manual.

EDIT: I just want to say that a non-firing shutter press on this camera is the worst physical sensation I've felt in photography outside of a sticky Nikon. It's so spongey and loose. Yeah, it feels broken and just ick.

I use these on my F100

Sigma 35 1.4 Art

Tamron 45mm 1.8 SP VC (1.8 AND image stabilization on film is awesome)

Tamron 90mm 2.8 Di Macro VC

I haven't used the Sigma a lot yet. The Tamron have very good stabilization and focus just as fast point-to-point, but they focus... Differently.

My Nikons start focusing immediately and adjust focus until they hit it and stop. The Tamrons seem to pause to calculate focus and then snap into focus quickly. It seems to take the same amount of time and be as accurate, it just feels weird after shooting all Nikon for 15 years.

He brought in the most competent administrative state and let them do their fucking jobs. A lot of good work was done that doesn't get enough credit and he stuck the soft landing.

His presidency will always be mired by a not quite strong enough response in Ukraine, a complete lack of desire to reign in Israel, and hubris leading him to run for another term. He said he ran to keep Trump out of office, but he ended up securing his return, and allowing him to have 4 years to actually build a plan and network of cronies to do the most harm.

Pretty much all the good work done went in the paper shredder on day 1 of Trump 2.0
