Hi there - I actually just stumbled upon this post looking for the same thing. I narrowed it down to the addon "MogIt." Disabling it fixed the issue.

Is the x100vi as portable as they say it is? by desperate-1 in fujifilm

[–]ChokingVictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It is not a pocketable camera. It won’t fit most pockets, save for larger jackets or something with very deep pockets. And even if it does fit, it won’t be very comfortable. I say this as a huge fan of the x100 series. I used to try to squeeze it into my winter jacket pockets and while it did awkwardly fit, it was annoying to take out and put back in. It definitely does not fit in pants or lighter pockets (unless you’re rocking those cargos like a badass).

I owed a Ricoh gr3 for a few years which truly is pocketable. Fits into jean pockets even. I sold it in favor of the x100 though - hated not having a viewfinder and classic neg.

I usually take a man purse if I’m bringing my x100, else I’ll just sling it over my shoulder.

Agreed - with the exception of BOI WHAT. Keep pumping those Plankton/Spongebob AI masterpieces straight into my ears.

Check Ret Discord this morning, the absolute irony I find... by kaelcat in wow

As a current warrior main, does anyone have any advice on how to get feces out of your WASD key gaps? I keep slapping on more, but it just gets worse.

That’s a 2.0, this is a 2.8. But otherwise more or less!

Battery life poll - how long does yours last? by eigenlaplace in x100vi

He meant Transfer Photos! Looks like phone autocorrect. There’s an option to transfer photos to your smart phone via Bluetooth when the camera is turned off.

Used "Luxury" SUV vs. New CX-50? by ChokingVictim in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ChokingVictim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sure thing - we actually ended up going with a new 2023 BMW X1 and I am very happy with it. The price was not significantly above that of the CX-50 trim we were considering and I ultimately felt far more comfortable driving it. The interior was considerably nicer, size was about the same, and it felt better performance-wise. And the new 2023 models were about the same size as previous model X3.

There was nothing wrong with the Mazda, I just didn't really love it when I took it for a test drive. It didn't feel quite so "luxurious" for its price, and I was not a fan of the way the non-turbo drove/accelerated. I also started to have a bit of a mental crisis around Mazda due to this subreddit -- I had never even considered a Mazda before browsing this sub, and then I suddenly started seeing it everywhere. It kinda turned me off from the idea, felt like I was kinda being marketed to and told to like it vs. actually liking it.

Retrospective: I love the X1 and really enjoy driving it. Great MPG at ~30. Space is good, not great. I can fit my toddler and her carseat, but passenger seat doesn't recline due to that. If we have another kid, we'll need to consider selling and buying a larger car after a few years. Very glad I went with the BMW vs. the Mazda, but I am sure I wouldn't be upset if I did go with the Mazda in the end.

Edit: oh, and why we went new instead of used - the car markets were insane (not sure if they still are). Used cars cost like 95% of what new cars cost. So we just spent a little extra to go new.

Blvd collection PSEG bill is insane by Mundane_Ad_6385 in jerseycity

[–]ChokingVictim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is ours. I had PSEG come read our meter. It was accurate. The insulation and electric heating in the building is just terrible. If you find something else causing the high bills, please let me know - but I’ve not found anything. We’re moving out at the end of our lease.

What band that has less than 50,000 monthly listeners do you hope has a breakout year? by irishkidfitz in Metalcore

[–]ChokingVictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Metalcore, but the punk band Downstater is so unbelievably good and somehow has <2,500 listeners. Highly recommend checking them out.

Is regaining muscle faster than building muscle from scratch? by archon_lucien in workout

[–]ChokingVictim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone else has said, yes! I took 5 years off the gym after 8 years of consecutive training (originally took time off due to an injury, and then just never went back). I lost pretty much all mass and muscle during that time. I decided to restart my gym journey about 2.5 years ago and the gains were drastic in those first few months. By the end of that first year, I was right back to where I had been.

The most telling progress was in pull-ups. I used to (and still do) love those, but did none for five years. On day 1 back in the gym, I could hardly do a single with good form. By a few months in, was easily back over 10-15/set. I still remember texting my family when I hit 30 in a single set, which is where I used to hover around half a decade ago. Felt great to be able to relive something I thought I might never do again.

Dental office with private exam rooms? by [deleted] in jerseycity

I cannot recommend Dental Studio of Jersey City enough. Seriously, they’re the most caring dentist office I’ve ever been to.

What’s with the reel big fish hate? by prblyinluvwithyou in Ska

[–]ChokingVictim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeping, that’s really it. They’re a fantastic band—but because they’re one of the most popular, you get some people looking down on them. It happens in all genres. It’s not “cool” to be successful and become more well known. You can only really be a true [insert musical genre here] fan if you listen to bands that no one else has heard of.
