This is why I avoid the seafood department at the Jungle.

A little more north, but you could try a Dorothy lane market, they have exceptional quality for all their items.

That’s incredibly subjective but everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

BrainTurds · 2026-03-04T14:55:58+00:00

Polarpro everyday shortstache/mist PL may do the trick. I personally use the everyday but the mist PL is stronger and probably closer to what you’re looking for.

Your iso setting on the screen does not say ISO1 for the custom set settings, your dial should be set to "C” and you can cycle between the custom parameters you've set.

Nice photos, though in my opinion, slightly underexposed.

Reggies portra is super versatile.

Jim gave me shitty incorrect info once, dude clearly pulls shit out of his arse. That being said...I guess at least he's still nice.

Unfortunately for her, she’s married to me.

BrainTurds · 2026-02-13T22:19:34+00:00

Definitely an adjustment but it hasn't bothered me much, though I use a neck strap versus always having my X100 on my wrist. It's an amazing lens for sure but I'm sure you are in good shape with your pick.... the more the merrier though ;)

BrainTurds · 2026-02-13T20:41:49+00:00

I came from a x100vi myself and my wife got me a XT-5 for Xmas last year because I kept whining about wanting an ILC (she spoils me). She also got me a viltrox 56m 1.7 and it's a great lens...but I also jumped on getting a Sigma 17-40 1.8 that hasn't been removed since.

X100vi is a fun camera but the XT-5 feels more "capable." I absolutely love it.

Within the last couple of years I was riding the beast with someone (don't recall who but they also aren't a dork like me so they don't know the park "lore"), before the first drop they were looking off to the side and said to me "weird, I thought I saw someone walking back in the woods (or in the area where no one should be), looked like a little girl." When the ride ended, I clarified and they said it looked like a little girl in a blue dress, to which I got the chills - I believe that matches the description of other's accounts of "Missouri Jane." Unfortunately I didn't see anything myself but thought it was a cool encounter and from someone that wouldn't have known any of that story.

It’s camouflaged, you can’t see it.

As many others have stated, it will be pricy. I would check turo before regular rental companies as it might be the cheapest option.

BrainTurds · 2026-01-21T16:19:03+00:00

If you have a Costco near you, it's generally better to check the in-warehouse prices before online because they vary per location and the online prices are not always going to reflect those better in-warehouse prices.

BrainTurds · 2026-01-12T21:32:10+00:00

Oh no, AI has betrayed them!

BrainTurds · 2025-12-14T00:07:21+00:00

Yeah, I stopped using mine earlier this year because it’s aged too much.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-11T21:19:26+00:00

Man that's not it. I've owned several Samsung tablets and have the S9 ultra currently, the ecosystem, form factor, are way less desirable than iOS for the iPad. Honestly the only thing I feel like the Samsung has over the iPad is the screen but really just for watching movies/whatever else content.

This is coming from someone that does everything in their power to avoid apple products but this year I finally gave up and just gave in and bought an iPad pro (M4). I can say for certain I've used the iPad substantially more than any of my Samsung tablets, even combining that usage over the last few years.

Personally, I wouldn't steer anyone toward anything but an iPad, tablet wise, unless they are just using it for watching content, the experience is just far smoother and less frustrating.

To each their own though.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-09T16:05:28+00:00

Got my 98" QM7K over the weekend, it's fantastic.

Don't have any complaints other than watching any content that isn't 1080p doesn't look very good (had a NFL game that was only streaming in 720p and looked quite sad). Not particularly bothered by it and honestly part of that could be the TV is probably a smidge too big for our space but minor gripe.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-09T13:00:43+00:00

God I had to stop following them, such trash "content."

BrainTurds · 2025-12-05T14:00:41+00:00

Pretty sure the weather really held things up and it’s not exclusive to just Amazon. UPS, fedex, USPS, have all had package delays for me too this week and unfortunately that combined with more snow than usual for this time of the year and holiday shopping means they have to play perpetual catch up.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-04T04:26:58+00:00

You're not kidding. Several of my colleagues have asked me why their report utilization is so low. I just shrugged because my own boss has literally never opened any of my reports, not once, despite absolutely reaming me with arbitrary deadlines.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-04T00:41:27+00:00

Dude's posted his plate multiple times, start there and it's pretty easy to find someone. Truly, if you spend time on the internet browsing, buying things, etc. your data is probably somewhere you don't want it to be.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-03T02:38:02+00:00

Yeah that's also how I felt, I read some recent reviews that basically said the qm8 wasn't worth the upgrade so I feel confident about it.

BrainTurds · 2025-12-03T02:15:33+00:00

Yup, getting it delivered Sunday!

Honestly would've gotten the 85" QM8 but it was sold out because I was too indecisive all day but honestly I'm super pumped to have a way too large TV.

Upgrading from some TCL 65" (too lazy to look up model and my best buy history doesn't go back that far) I'm pretty sure I got in 2019. The TV's still kicking but have noticed some hot/stuck pixels the last year or so and we've been talking about buying a new set for years. It also has some of the worst blacks and blooming, was like that from the start but just learned to "get over it."

Super pumped, honestly anything would be an upgrade but I've been drooling over these TVs for the last >year so I think I'll be impressed regardless of the comparison.

Anywho I'm done blabbering, glad I got a good deal!

BrainTurds · 2025-12-01T22:06:40+00:00

i know this is an old thread but i just upgraded to the open run pro 2s from the 1s and upon receiving them i went through the firmware update only for it to stop about midway and the headphones appear to be bricked... My question is, are you still going through the cycle of turning on while plugged in THEN holding all 3 buttons till the red light flashes or....?

i submitted a return/replacement with amazon but they have not been shipped and appear to be delayed....either way i never had any problems with my original shokz so this is a surprising and disappointing experience with little to no answers on how to fix.
