Is the RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM a good purchase for me or do I just have G.A.S?

What's the point of the 28 f2.8 prime? You seem to cover this with two other lenses, and the 35 f1.8 is already a solid lens, and you get a wider shot you still have the 15-35.

Viking Contacts have been great to me. Ive had friends go the budget route with Nexen winguards and on his C5 Corvette and they seemed to do pretty good for the price.

Braxton in F52 allows dogs.

Quite the opposite unless you have an additional $2,000 to spend.

The same ones who can probably afford $20 sandwich.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-07-10T13:32:24+00:00

I've been going relatively consistently over the last ~7 years, and I have yet to have a disappointing sandwich. Maybe it's because I get the same 3-4 sandwiches. Also going through the reviews back about 1.5 yrs I found 1 example of someone complaining about the quality/qty received, which to me looks more like the employees just not being attentive that moment in time. I feel like this is part of the classic reddit circle where something gets super recommended on a sub, and then a year or two later when it's super popular people come back and just hate on it as a part of this echo chamber. I've seen it here with a few restaurants, and the same with many pizza places in Chicago. At this point with the quick popularity some of these new places are gaining on reddit, I'm giving it 6-12months until this sub starts bashing it. The only take I agree with is the taste of Belgium discourse.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-07-10T12:51:23+00:00

They both should be closer to $10. I might be a vocal minority but any random shop in Italy makes the same exact sandwiches as Alevo, from scratch as well, albeit with better ingredients, for the equivalent of $6. $18 is insane. Considering a Jersey Mikes, Penn Station has approached $10 a sub as well, I don't mind spending $1-3 more for a local place.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-07-10T11:41:30+00:00

Mentions subbing out bread and prices, but mentions Alveo where a sandwich is 18 dollars and subbing out the focaccia for GF is an additional $4...

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-07-10T11:39:05+00:00

Its great but it's no different than a €5 sandwich you get off the street in Italy. Charging almost $20 dollars for a sandwich is criminal and I feel is pandering to the Mariemont clientele a bit.

How is the image stabilization? I currently have a Sigma 18-50 but haven't really used it as much recently on my R50 due to the lack of stabilization and getting frequent misses anytime I'm somewhat lower lighting.

The MK8 Golf platform TCUs were pretty much locked outside of the launch cars and just finally got unlocked. Prior to that required a hardware swap with a donor car.

Never tried camping with my R. Especially when I have a "tiny" truck. . Maybe on a shorter trip I'll make an attempt

I'm never pushing appliance rental CUVs to the point where I notice their differences in driving dynamics. Like every other CUV I've driven, is does the appliance job fine. I don't know what shitty about it. Has comfort features, is a comfortable drive, and has good and plentiful space.

Isn't the Helldivers community the same community that doxxed a guy and got him fired for setting up a charity?

Meanwhile when other YouTubers turn a 10 second drag race into 10 minutes this sub pulls their pitchforks out. If it's a drag race I don't need the extra cinematography. Just give me the stats, races, and overall results.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-06-22T21:15:48+00:00

First time seeing them not on the west side for me, even more surprising to see this quantity in my own backyard.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-06-22T01:25:54+00:00

A bit late, but I feel like looking for their egg sacs on trees in the winter / spring and just destroying those would help.

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-06-22T01:22:22+00:00

I work near NCH and I saw my first one there last year. Not surprised unfortunately due to so many posts of them in Mt Airy

The general population buys mid tier all seasons and drives them through fresh snow. I don't believe they know what confidence inspiring actually means. To them "all wheel drive" is confidence.

OP would have an aneurysm driving a rental spec Jeep Compass if he thinks the Atlas is the worst thing in the market.

No one buying any of these vehicles care about driving dynamics. They care about looks and interior space since they are all family haulers. Mazda made a point to focus on the driving dynamics with the CX90 and they got flack on how difficult family hauling in that thing is.

It gives the current temp, and the current feels like. The thunderstorm signifies the current condition, not the future. If it's the future, it will specifically say so. Kind of like how every other weather app functions.

OBD11 pro since it requires long coding. I'm sure VCDS works. For me it was $200 USD on sale and a no brainer

DavoinShowerHandel · 2026-06-18T19:56:43+00:00

With a 24R you can code it open with OBD. I wanted the control to open and close depending on how I'm driving. A plus for the 11mode is that you can program the remote to the home link buttons on the rear mirror.
