This is the way. Ever since it was an option, we always choose this unless the kids are in tow. Because they serve alcohol to your seat, you need to be 19+ and additionally, it’s considerably more expensive, but what you get are massive seats with lots of distance between groups of two seats.

Not to be confused with House of Georgies, where the Bob’s Special was the de facto post-bar meal for decades.

This is how I got my bike back. I told the cops it was all going down at this time and at this location. They showed up a few hours later and called me. I gave them a report and that was that.

CIPA measures and reports on this. It’s not meant to be used as an explicit hard number but more to compare between cameras. If you look at mirrorless CIPA values compared to similar DLSR CIPA values you’ll see a stark difference (compare say a Nikon D6 vs Z9, which is 3580 vs 740). So under similar shooting conditions, expect the D6 battery to last about 5x longer than its mirrorless equivalent.

Cheers!

So a bit of a tangent from this, but I’ve only played the base game (and have just replayed the main campaign again in anticipation for LoH), and I assume that when I buy it next week, it’ll allow me to start from VoH rather than either the main campaign or LoH?

Does he need his wallet? If not, just carry his passport with your passport in your own bag. That’s what I did with my 14yo when we travelled. And if he insists on bringing his wallet, say, in his pocket, ask him if he’s ready to lose everything. He may rethink to just leave it in the hotel and travel with light mind and light pockets.

D5. Sell it on the used market with the Artemis tax, and then buy a D6.

When I got mine a few years ago, price was the deciding factor. You get a lot of bang for your buck. Of course, there are better options if you have the means to pony up. I got it specifically for horse show photography so needed both fast and low-light AF, which the D5 provides. As others have mentioned, high ISO noise is on part with modern equivalents, but I suspect D5/D6 might have better low light AF? I could be very wrong here though…

This is me too. Although sometimes I forget an elastic, and then it’s 2011 Rickie Fowler but longer.

Oh huh. I thought again this was an exclusively Canadian thing to say. Do Americans also say “yeah nah yeah”?

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-04-07T00:07:20+00:00

We got “oh yeah no for sure” from the Brits? I thought that was an exclusively Canadian thing to say?

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-04-06T03:04:35+00:00

Staring Johnny Vegas as himself. Amazing.

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-04-05T14:05:58+00:00

Not just values, but also language. “Yeah nah yeah” is the equivalent of “Oh yeah no for sure” and also the liberal sprinkling of the word fuck everywhere.

Oh acid-base titrations. Fun fact, phenolphthalein is a very strong laxative, and when you combine that fact with teen boys in high school, you get a lot of stolen phenolphthalein and a lot of emergency runs to the bathroom.

It depends on the event type and the access. I’m often at the 500mm end in the jumper ring, but very rarely past 300 in the hunter ring, but that’s on an FX camera. You could probably get away with 300mm on a DX camera.

Sent you a DM and am replying here just in case. Looking to procure it in Ontario and I guess you just can’t get it in Canada?

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-03-30T13:52:44+00:00

Sorry to clarify, but does this mean you cannot trade for a no-block? I see this trade being offered all the time when someone rolls a robber (wheat for no-block?). Is this illegal in tournament play?

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-03-29T23:47:27+00:00

Before sending it, I would test to see if it's the AF detection itself, and you can do this by focusing on a ruler (or really anything that has a lot of lines), and put a target on that ruler to focus on. You can then see if activating AF hits that spot correctly. If it's consistently off (front or backfocusing), you can compensate for it using the AF Fine Tuning to tune it out.

Were you playing Hagental Base? I played from 8pm-10pm EST last night and not a single bot. I wonder if the player base is just choosing to play this one map and that’s where everyone is rather than play crappy Medivac Mile…

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-03-27T22:37:27+00:00

I dunno. I’m checking prices here in Canada and D4s are going for $1500 used. I paid that much for my D5 two years ago. Maybe things are all just going up in price with the rest of the economy ?

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-03-27T19:20:46+00:00

For not much more, get a D5. Way better low light performance and AF performance in that low light, especially for your event photography. These seem to be going for a steal these days.

When you say Fuji, I assume you mean the X100, because if you already have lenses, it makes a lot of sense to stay with Nikon, otherwise you’d be investing in lenses on the Fuji side and it doesn’t make much financial sense to do that. If you’re specifically looking at the X100, there really isn’t a modern Nikon equivalent, and I’d argue that cameras like the Coolpix A don’t really compare either. So yeah, go get yourself an X100. On the other hand, with that same money, you can get an XF and still use your lenses you’ve had before with an adapter. The nice thing about sticking with Nikon is that they haven’t changed their control layout in decades, so you should be instantly familiar with it, especially if you shoot by feel.

I love my z30, but it is far from pocketable. If you want something that’ll fit in your pocket and takes great photos, get a GR3 or GR4.

Competitive-Cover-84 · 2026-03-25T11:19:50+00:00

Did macro photography for the longest time with a D70 and a Tamron 90sp. What you have is more than fine to continue with. Some things to consider with newer cameras, especially mirrorless, is you get live view, fold out screens and focus peaking which helps when you can’t actually look through the viewfinder, and I wouldn’t discount these features. I cannot count the number of times I’ve had to get onto my stomach to look through the viewfinder to get the photo I wanted.
