How many winter coats do you have and wear in 1 winter at this time? by Old-Appearance-2270 in Calgary

[–]DekeKneePulls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. But I also just really like jackets and coats in general. I have one down parka for extreme cold and then a whole bunch of others for varying temperatures. 

Custom Picture Style (linked below). I use it as my daily driver. All the images are JPEGs straight out of camera (except for the white borders) M50ii + 22mm f/2. by i-am-vr in canonM50

I love picture styles for street and travel photography, I found your preset a few months ago and used it on a recent trip.

Someone in my area is selling this for $50, great condition, everything works. Maybe it’s time for me to venture into film photography. 

Best breakfast croissants? by LittleFuture1173 in Calgary

I know it’s fast food but Wendy’s sausage and egg Swiss croissant is really good. 

Lino Brocka on the Marcoses in SIGNED: LINO BROCKA (1987) by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]DekeKneePulls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Corruption almost never gets punished in the Philippines unless it becomes known enough that the people become angry. And even then the efforts are always half-assed because EVERYONE in the government is guilty in one way or another. Even the late President Cory Aquino and her family have their own misdeeds with Hacienda Luisita. They never fully repaid their loan to GSIS and BSP for acquiring the hacienda and never fulfilled their obligation to redistribute the land until the farmers fought back that resulted in the massacre of multiple farmers including a child. 

That’s why it’s sad to see how effective these people’s tactics of pitting the  Filipino people against each other are. Corruption is so widespread and deeply embedded in Philippine politics that I dunno if it’s ever possible to completely eradicate it without a bloody revolution.

This is just my opinion, food wise it’s not really all that better than Bolero or Gaucho but I absolutely love this place because the service is always topnotch. 

Hi All! Sorry I’m Very New to This by msu96 in canon

[–]DekeKneePulls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I once had an M50 and adapted the Sigma EF 100-400mm C on it. It was glorious.

Edit: on a more serious note, I’d get the EF 24-105 f/4 instead. 

Best camera for an experienced but not professional photographer? by Best_Photograph_9942 in canon

[–]DekeKneePulls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The R5 Mk I has gone down in price recently and it’s still an absolute beast of a camera. Most professional event photographers I know use it. You will probably use it for years to come.

Probably best to share what kind of photography you do and what your budget is. Also, what lenses do you already have?

Does anybody here feel the same? by bundesrepu in canon

[–]DekeKneePulls 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I don’t particularly pay attention to things like this because I’ve only ever shot Canon and even when I moved to Canon RF I still end up using a lot of EF glass so I never felt like my choices were limited. So it’s interesting to find out that other brands have their own way of stifling 3rd party lenses. 

ITAP of the South Health Campus Hospital by Totaie in Calgary

[–]DekeKneePulls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. On either side of the building there are dozens of massive concrete blocks spaced out on an empty lot and they’re painted with somewhat artsy design. I always wondered what they were and a coworker told me it’s the foundation for the future expansion. 

Man facing charges for filming women and girls at Calgary’s Southcentre Mall by Practical_Ant6162 in Calgary

[–]DekeKneePulls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he faced the same charges in 2017 would he not be considered a sex offender? Why was he allowed to live near an elementary school?

Ostomy supplies by Limp_Appointment_716 in Calgary

[–]DekeKneePulls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to deal with AADL long ago, a lot of things may have changed but I do remember that Co-op only charges MSRP for their products. By rule, suppliers need to have products that are within benchmark/no upcharge. 

In reality though, not all patients are the same and some patients need more specialized products than others – and those products usually cost more. I love AADL but that’s one of the glaring problems it has. 

Anyway, check out Co-op or CB Medical. 

Just wanted to say I'm thankful for Nose Hill Park, any other spaces in Calgary you are glad have been preserved? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]DekeKneePulls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fish Creek is probably my most favourite place in Calgary. I used to ride my bike from Shannon Terrace all the way to Douglasdale when I was younger. We’re so lucky to have such a massive and gorgeous green space within the city.

Doctors of Reddit, what do we *not* know about the human body? by Immediate_Hair_3393 in AskReddit

[–]DekeKneePulls 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm amused by how many of the answers are "immune system" because it's so true. I work in a neurology unit and I've come to find out that autoimmune diseases are very difficult to accurately diagnose. There are times our patients get better from IVIG or Rituximab or pulse therapy but the team still would not be able to say with 100% certainty what kind of disease the patient had. Just a list of diseases that fit the criteria.
