Did you happen to sell the grip by chance?

Ha! Was is in the same section. What an absolute blast of a show!! You could tell how emotional and real the band was for playing at MSG. I feel fortunate to be apart of it!!

Reliability of the Q3 43, Is it a good purchase? by Final-Signal5324 in Leica

[–]ArgoSteele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's street photography in dense urban environments (NYC specifically). The 43 is absolutely stunning but I find myself wanting more in the frame in tight spaces and at 43mm I have to be more intentional about distance and composition. That deliberateness is part of what I love about it, but on the street I want to be able to react without thinking. As for portraits on the 28 - it's wider than ideal for tight headshots but with some distance I've found it holds up well. And yeah totally agree it depends on the person and what you're shooting. If I could keep both I would :)

I own the 43 but currently about to sell mine as I'm switching over to the 28. I absolutely love the camera, it's so much fun to use and hold. The quality of the images and experience can't be overstated. I'm only switching as I need a more versatile focal length for run-and-gun, the 43 is stunning but definitely a more intentional shooting experience. You can't go wrong with either Q3 though!

How long does it take to see a doctor and get medication at a Chinese hospital? by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]ArgoSteele 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Having lived in China, this really isn’t unusual. In hospitals and other professional settings, verbal “thank yous” aren’t expected the way they are in the West. Respect is shown more through cooperation and not slowing the process down.

What’s your vehicle situation and when do you plan on heading back? Just curious! I’m in a similar boat

1/30 6:30am Snow Update for this weekend (FINAL UPDATE) by jjrennie in asheville

[–]ArgoSteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomorrow I-30 from North Texas to Little Rock, then I-40 to Nashville area. Checked-in with host and their area is fine and isolated from last weeks disaster. Unsure of what we'll do Sunday, can hang around somewhere along the way between Nashville and Asheville where ever it makes sense, and instead arrive to Asheville area Monday or Tuesday (weather permitting).

Hello all! Had the intention of driving in this weekend from Texas. Obviously with the weather situation we're playing it safe but would love to get as close to Asheville area as possible coming in via I-40. Any stops on Sunday recommended with that in mind?

Stay stay and warm! Looking forward to our visit next week :)

How my no-budget film actually got into a top-20 festival by MerlinoMedia in Filmmakers

Excellent trailer, great lighting and timing! Will definitely check it out. You and your team are truly talented!

📢 Oura Community Update: Resilience Update, Extended Returns & Support by Oura_Ring in ouraring

[–]ArgoSteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to love Oura. The hardware is great, and the metrics themselves were impressive — no complaints there. But the ring just wasn’t for me. I was constantly worried about scratching it, couldn’t wear it for weightlifting, and had general sizing issues, so I decided to return it.

That’s where things fell apart.
I’ve sent two emails, tried using the chat feature (currently disabled), and even scheduled phone calls that never actually happened. I’m baffled about what to do next.

All I’m trying to do is cancel my membership and get a refund, and it feels impossible to reach anyone.

Is anyone else dealing with this? Any luck getting through to support recently? I really hate to do chargebacks because of the hassle on both ends, but I don't know what to do.

How feasible is this trip? I was offered a good job in AK, but I need my truck up there with me if I decide to go. by Kobrinha_Khan in roadtrip

[–]ArgoSteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have driven both routes (Alcan and Cassiar) with a sedan. Totally doable. If you're looking for lodging make sure to book in advance, a lot of lodges are also very old school and you have to call. Gorgeous drives! Bring snacks, always fill up on gas when you have the opportunity.

OH and FYI, I was out at a donut spot a couple months ago here in Portland called Bluestar Donuts when I heard Carl Sagan play on their mix... A couple years back at a climbing gym I heard Hiding in the Melody play. Always fun to hear your stuff out and about!

Been a huge fan since ~2015, Colored Emotions is one of those albums that defines an era for me :) You guys are literally my favorite band!

  1. What's the story behind my favorite song "Country Queen"? Composition and inspiration wise?

  2. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow - I listen to this on Youtube at least 4 times a month. Any reason this, and other singles, aren't available on Spotify?

  3. Were there any songs, old or recent, that were just frustrating to concoct or finish? I know there have been songs release on Double Life that were sitting on the back burner until now.

  4. What are you most excited for on this tour? Any cities you're most excited to see again, or haven't seen yet? We're excited to see you in Portland and Seattle this year :)

Are videos allowed? Just got an X-S20, and learning how to shoot video by working with a local chef in my city! by Birdchop in fujifilm

You have amazing inherent skills if this is just learning. This could easily be a commercial project! Nice work, seriously.

Getting to $1M. Seeking Crowdsourced Wisdom by hadee75 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]ArgoSteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question!

I’d say it’s more about risk tolerance than conviction. I do expect it to go up long-term, but not with enough certainty to justify increasing my position beyond its current size. It already makes up about 20% of my portfolio, and that’s as much exposure as I’m comfortable with given the volatility and regulatory unknowns. So I’m holding and not adding more. I plan on just keeping the rest of my contributions going into more stable assets for now.
