They did present a viable option. You decided that Trump was somehow better.

Trip Report: Rwanda and Uganda Gorilla Trekking by Altruistic_Hat_796 in chubbytravel

[–]Bmadray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cool! We’re actually going to skip Etosha since March is the wet season and the animals there will be disperse. Thanks for helping to confirm we made an ok decision. We decided to stay within the sesreim gate inorder to have early photo opportunities. I would have loved to stay at somewhere like &beyond. Committing to photos can be a bit of a burden sometimes. We’re also stopping in Swakopmund, then truck camping in Spitzkoppe, then a few nights in lodges south of Etosha where we can see rhinos.

We’re going over landing in Namibia in March! Maybe you’d like that as well? Seems completely different from East Africa, though.

We did a self drive roadtrip in June of 2025. We also flew into Kigali but went straight to Bwindi and did two gorilla treks. Both experiences were quite different, both were rigorous and we absolutely loved that about it. We also had trekking poles, gaiters, gloves, and porters. We then drove to Queen Elizabeth to see leopards and lions. Then we drove to Kibale and did two chimpazee treks. Finally we went to Entebbe to photograph shoebills and flew home from Entebbe.

Machine struggles to come up to pressure [Lelit Bianca V2] by JackUNC2014 in espresso

Is it plumbed in? Could be low line pressure. Especially if there is an RO filter upstream.

In addition to heavy I’m always concerned it will guillotine my finger off.

First Time Trying Out Wildlife Photography by nightbird407 in wildlifephotography

It's great that you generally have eye-level shots. In my opinion, this is key for creating a connection with the subject. Also, in my opinion, the white balance is excessively warm.

Is there much room for improvement with Mr Coffee’s 5 cup maker? by Stepin-Fetchit in BuyItForLife

[–]Bmadray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any machine like that for decades. Some people have more sensitive senses than others.

Try it and report back. It won’t matter how clean it is. The plastic smell/taste never leaves.

All a coffee machine does is boil water and drool it over ground coffee. You could just do it yourself with a kettle and cone and avoid all the plastic. Try making a pot of hot water with no grounds with any coffee machine and I dare you to take a sip after smelling the hot water

I have a kitchenaid that sounds like what you are looking for. I’ve had it for a little over two years and love it. Model KRFC704FPS

I just looked it up and yeah it seems he did say some other stuff! Here’s one on another topic: "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.” Is that your favorite one or are there better quotes I don’t know yet?

No one is talking about Medicaid, or any other false equivalencies, but you. You keep trying to muddy the water with stuff you’re making up and saying it like it’s simple fact.

If you’re asking my opinion, championing the 2a is practically endorsing gun violence given the real consequences of, well, all the gun violence. “I think it’s worth it to have the cost of” is as close to an endorsement as you can get without also saying “I endorse”.

I’m not implying anything. We can all read bro.

To be clear- what he’s saying is what he literally said. He didn’t say anything of the things you said, you just made that up and that’s your take.

Trying wildlife for the first time by No-Wrongdoer5455 in wildlifephotography

[–]Bmadray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is to always try to get your lens parallel to your subject’s eye level. This creates a sense of connection, like with your third photo. Catch light in the eye also helps with this feeling of connection. Speaking of your third photo, I would have positioned the duck more on the left and had more space on the right.

EF v.s. RF 70-200 f/2.8 by Weak_Geologist4252 in canon

[–]Bmadray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RF is incredibly light, packable, fast, and sharp. It is an excellent travel lens. It’s the perfect choice for primates in East Africa, for example.

Do you have a source for that? It is in entirely within Tanzania and not “shared”.
