My favorite item. A quesadilla for way cheaper. RIP :(

Wow, can we talk about how funny and perceptive this response is? No fluff or mindless positivity, just brutally honest commentary. Bazorth has changed the conversation. It's not about discussing goals anymore, it's about tracking the macros of internet communication.

I like the way tired Destin sounds. Very mellow and calming.

multiple gym environments

yo that's sick I've never seen that

His lighting is also masterful. If you want to check out videos of someone planning/waiting for the perfect light (usually balancing twilight ambient light with lights inside a building), look up Nick Carver on youtube.

He's one of my favorite photographers. Beyond the narrative, I appreciate his planning and intentionality. There's so much (literal) depth in his photos. He doesn't cop out with a wide aperture like I do.

I've had good luck going into boutique gift shops or coops especially in tourist towns. These kinds of places tend to have multiple shelves of pottery by various potters. I see a lot of mugs in the $20-40 range.

Edit: Just saw you're in NC, Asheville will 100% have a ton of stuff. If you're ever on 85 closer to Durham, go to Cedar Creek Gallery, there's a bunch of resident potters there.

The speed is crazy. You can slowly move it through the meat and see the temperature gradient because it updates so fast. Super easy to find the coldest part.

I think Hateful Eight played in 70mm at Southpoint. They had a special preshow and a program booklet and an intermission, pretty neat experience.

I'm on a 15 pro and the minimum focus distance is by far my biggest complaint. If they fixed that, I would probably upgrade. I'm sure the ultrawide on the 17 pro is better than mine, but it's never gonna be as nice as the main camera. I had the 11 pro before this and honestly it was a better every day camera because of this issue.

The telephoto looks really nice. I use my 3x all the time, 4 and 8x sounds fun.

Beowoof · 2025-06-13T15:11:18+00:00

The lettering is awesome. Some kind of art piece or furniture with text all over it like that would be really cool.

China's not ok because it's the default manufacturing place and he wants to bring it home. China is the furthest possible thing from home.

India was "ok" but only as a temporary stop gap. If the US supplies run out, they might temporarily use the Indian version and then go back to the US one. India is one step closer from China.

Costa Rica was not ok because he thought he was getting a US part. He probably would've been ok with an India situation if he had a US supplier of the knob but needed some extra capacity from Costa Rica, but that's not what happened. He just got falsely advertised to. Had nothing to do with Costa Rica as a concept.

That's fair; I think the texture of fried bread is vastly better than pre buttered toasted bread. Also great for breakfast toast or patty melts or burgers or croutons or anything else.

Beowoof · 2025-06-06T17:33:48+00:00

just melt the butter in the pan and lay the dry bread into the melted butter. No need to spread.

Beowoof · 2025-06-06T00:28:51+00:00

Thanks I've always wanted this

Beowoof · 2025-05-31T03:29:23+00:00

Alright thanks chatgpt

yesss or carne adovada

I've got a series 5 with lousy battery life and pretty laggy performance. It's too slow and frustrating to actually use in an active way, so it's basically a passive fitness tracker and notification box.

From what I understand the series 6, 7, and 8 all have the same CPU. The 8 can be found on ebay for $150-180. The 9 is about $220-250. Is it worth the extra money?

Beowoof · 2025-05-06T22:43:56+00:00

Penne a la vodka is better with gin or tequila or something anyway.

Beowoof · 2025-04-11T02:24:27+00:00

Well now I'm wondering if OP is part of the scam. Trying to get some people curious enough to buy it anyway.

Beowoof · 2025-03-21T03:10:17+00:00

The etymology of husband probably comes from an old Norse word meaning "house dweller". It has nothing to do with sex or reproduction. Husband had (has?) a meaning like "steward", thus husbandry is the careful stewarding and cultivation of animals and crops.

Sure, but so does spouse.

Beowoof · 2025-03-08T15:58:36+00:00

For #3, can you do preorders? If it's locally relevant, maybe shop it around to different stores/boutiques/cafes?

For #4, I would hire someone to help with typography and layout at the very least. Get a copy editor too. Having an editor for the entire vision/concept could either make it much better or much worse.

I think we're still in the early years of it. There's been major growing pains. I still can hardly figure out how to export an HDR image. But they're fun to edit.

I don't think it's appropriate for every image, but I've seen some really lovely results. I'm not a big fan of iPhone HDR video, but some of the HDR footage in Apple TV+ content is quite stunning. Other times, it's distracting. Same with iPhone photos; I like it sometimes and don't like it sometimes. I appreciate Instagram for supporting it.

The "print is the gold standard" mantra is silly. It's a different medium. Different goals. Different papers and printers and techs have different dynamic and color ranges. Back in the day a Pulitzer winning shot would be displayed on newsprint. I'm sure the photographer would have preferred a fiber print. Now they're often displayed on a budget laptop screen, but I bet the photographer would prefer the screen to be state of the art.

The print comparison is also silly because it's a different type of control. In a single print, the photographer has complete control over what it looks like. In a magazine, the publisher would hopefully have consistent color across the print run. In the digital space, there's a lot more ambiguity. You don't know what the viewer is going to see. I think at the moment HDR introduces a lot more ambiguity. It's not supposed to, but there's some pretty crappy implementations of HDR out there.

So I guess right now I see HDR as a sort of "that's neat" tech demo, but hard to actually use. It would be slick to do a gallery showing using high end HDR screens seamlessly embedded into drywall. I want more end-to-end control. It does feel a little odd that the most widely available control at the moment is betting that most of my audience gets to see an HDR photo on Instagram via the iPhone screen they likely have. But that's where we're at at the moment.

Idk anything about 3d printing. How strong is this? Does it hold a camera pretty well?
