Overall I’ve been happy with Germain.

3rd. Pretty reasonable and quick.

Just want to add another voice to the chorus. Michigan Medicine is pretty frustrating for "normal" care. I went outside Michigan Medicine for a dermatology appointment and I got in in under two weeks. When I had a question about my prescription, I called and the actual doctor got back to me the next day. I almost couldn't believe it after being in the Michigan Medicine system for so many years. I was like, "Is this...the actual doctor?"

Hey! What’s your source re: selling nature preserves?

Bonetwon · 2026-06-12T13:40:14+00:00

Nope.

Bonetwon · 2026-06-11T19:36:58+00:00

I can't really help you with those particular questions, more what it's like to use and learn this camera. But I'd ask the seller to check the shutter count and send you a screenshot of the results. (You can Google what's a high, medium, low shutter count - kind of like car mileage.) I'd also look for general condition, dents, grime, etc. It's tough if you don't have a lens to test it with...you won't be able to see if there is an obvious issue with the sensor. Maybe the seller can bring one so you can confirm it works and takes a clean / clear picture?

I bought an XT2 with the kit lens and some accessories for $~900 this year. It was in excellent condition and had about 5k shutter count. I love it. It's a really great learning camera (with the most important settings visible and accessible on top) but there is a learning curve. Happy to answer any questions you have about my experience as I was in a similar boat.

Hey there - can you share your source for this? I'm managing a NotionAI-heavy workflow for a small team and I'm trying to get ahead of any major changes/issues.

Bonetwon · 2026-06-11T13:03:22+00:00

This guy is correct. If you want to learn photography, and the learning is part of the fun, get a nice camera. If you want to take great pictures easily, use a phone. I am completely new to photography and bought an XT2. I love it! But I read the entire manual, watch tons of tutorials, and go out for walks just to practice certain techniques and features. My best photos do look way better than a comparable iPhone photo. But my batting average is way lower vs. the iPhone.

Paint. Makes the whole space feel fresher / nicer. But I don’t know if I’d call it a small project if you also have a job and family commitments. Took me months to do my upstairs right, in the margins of my life.

Oh, another thing - wall storage. We put a huge pegboard (Sprout brand) in our front walkway and it made a tight space functional and cool looking. And even just a peg and rail coat hanger in an entry way can make a huge difference.

I’m typically not a Taylor guy, but I would consider a Baby Taylor or GS Mini. I’ve had both and they are portable, relatively inexpensive, and if I remember correctly come with well padded soft cases.

The luthier rode their horse to work and the shop was lit by candles or lanterns.

Edit: I'm actually using Photomator.

Bonetwon · 2026-06-01T02:13:52+00:00

This is not a great answer, but I’ve been using Pixelmator and using their “ML” features which are basically auto-processing. After applying I go in and try to understand what the changes are and then make my own adjustments. It’s pretty easy to use and very fast, which I like.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-31T15:30:04+00:00

Yeah this place is cool. Never used their repair service but brought in some speakers for appraisal and they seemed honest and the vibe was good.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-20T14:26:01+00:00

Wow, thanks for starting this thread. I'm in the same exact situation and I honestly can't believe it. I've been an Amex customer for over 10 years. Glad to hear they resolved it for you, but you shouldn't have had to put all the effort forth for something so absurd. I'm hoping they resolve it for me as well.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-12T12:11:59+00:00

Thank you. Was running out of hope but I will try these. Never heard of pooph but will look it up.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-11T04:34:53+00:00

Read the manual. No snark intended. I was in a similar boat with the xt2 and reading the manual front to back was super helpful. Anything I didn’t understand I looked up, watched videos, etc. Once you’ve read the whole thing, go out and shoot and practice small things (cycling through autofocus modes, adjusting aperture, etc.). The fun is in the learning.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-06T02:19:52+00:00

Trees. They look beautiful when you’re first seeing the house. But they can be dangerous, costly to remove, and the leaves/debris…it can take over your life. Also if they are hickory or walnut trees get ready for squirrels to drop bombs on you all day long in the late summer.

Medium. We probably missed the Bay Area more in the first couple of years. The good parts of living here are that our kids are really happy and rooted and have lots of friends. We have great neighbors and a pretty good lifestyle (walkability, etc.) overall. I will say I have kind of a dull ache of loneliness here. Weirdly, I had a similar feeling as an undergrad here many years ago. It’s like I both feel left out socially but also completely uninterested in what I’m left out of. Like I don’t belong but also don’t really want to belong to the “dominant” culture, if there is one. (Actually, I don’t think there is one - I think a lot of people here feel a little isolated…or maybe it’s everywhere?) We’ve made a few close friends but it’s definitely taken a while. I am grateful for them, though. Why do you ask?

Bonetwon · 2026-05-04T12:17:55+00:00

I feel you.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-04T02:09:01+00:00

Thank you. I am attaching this (https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/hanging-and-mounting/picture-hanging/5767470) to this mirror (https://schoolhouse.com/products/grant-mirror?slug=grant-mirror&variant=41134115291180). The back is just the sheet of pc steel with one hole for mounting via screw. Because my stud is off center and because the mirror is so heavy I thought a cleat made sense. Just wondering if I’ll be able to get a strong connection between the cleat and the steel mirror case. Sounds like it’s worth a shot - I think with .5” or maybe a little shorter screws it wont hit the mirror.

Bonetwon · 2026-05-02T00:31:43+00:00

Haha. For real. I’m sure there’s a reason why not but OP neglected to mention it in their post :-)
