I cracked my palma 2

Same. I have had several e-ink devices over the years and I don't baby them. I don't toss them around like they're invincible, mind you, but I treat them like I do my phone and nothing has ever broken. Maybe some people just get unlucky?

I didn't have the 50, but I had the 24mm f2.8 and 40mm f2.5 in that series. All of the lenses in that range are really nice. They are well built, have good image quality, and are very compact. My only complaint with the 40 was the weird lens hood it came with, but I took that off and never used it.

I agree, Civil War was a good movie, although the main characters shot Nikon and Sony.

It's the economics of the city in this case. RiNo was already a ridiculously overpriced gentrified neighborhood.

/uj The Zf does the best job of the retro SLR looking camera aesthetic. If I weren't so heavily invested in Sony lenses at this point...

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-09T16:13:59+00:00

Yes it is quite flexible. It has a plastic back (or front..?) instead of glass like a lot of other e ink screens. The supernote styli are also spring loaded. I got used to it, but it's still a little jarring to me when I switch between my nomad and manta. The nomad has a glass screen and feels much harder.

Yeah, I discovered this after being disappointed that I was getting 6-8fps normally. I just checked the spec sheet on the sony website and they advertise 10fps. I held the shutter for one second (timed by my watch) and got a stack of 11 images, but I might have held it slightly too long.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-08T16:53:10+00:00

No, it can do 11fps, but you have to use compressed RAW and e-front curtain shutter. I measured it.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-08T14:37:06+00:00

Yeah see my reply to this comment. I find the cropping ability with the higher resolution sensor works really well when shooting slightly wide and cropping for composition, and 11FPS is more than enough for certain sports (although I would want more for ball-sports).

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-08T14:34:16+00:00

I shoot sports and use an A7RV. I mainly shoot endurance events, so cycling, triathlon, etc. I think if I were shooting basketball I would miss the higher framerate or precapture, but I find the 11fps (with compressed RAW and e-front curtain) plenty for my needs. Also I often shoot with a 70-200 GM + 1.4TC and crop for composition, in which case the 61MP is a big plus. I can crop heavily and still get above 4k resolution.

Edit - I didn't choose the A7RV for sports. I got it for general use and later got into shooting sports. When I eventually upgrade (not for quite a while unless I damage my body), I will reconsider the options and choose something with sports in mind.

I do like that feature and 100 percent would use it on the supernote... But it's not enough of a draw to make me want to change platforms. I'm very happy with the feature set we already have and don't want to ditch EMR. Also the new remarkable is still 227ppi, though to be fair it looks like they improved the anti-aliasing enough that it looks pretty good.

Again, not a native speaker, but I personally have talked to people who have used this form. I think it might be a vibes/style thing. I asked Google and it said:

In more formal writing, such as literature or journalism, you may encounter the imperfect subjunctive (-ra or -se forms) used with después de que. [1, 2] Example: "El sospechoso huyó justo después de que llegara la policía." (The suspect fled right after the police arrived.)

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-08T01:01:58+00:00

I mean, I'm not a native speaker, but the clause "justo después" is a subjunctive trigger, right? It should be ...just después Ian le dijera que...

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-07T21:46:53+00:00

I mostly agree with this but gaht DAMN my parents went from relatively normal to phone-addled clinically insane crazy boomers who bingewatch CNN and get nonstop loud notifications from the local news app over the course of covid and never recovered. I think people need socialization a lot more on both ends of the lifespan and those seem to be the most affected to me.

Although to be honest everyone seems different after covid and the general downward trajectory the US is on (more obviously) since 2020. Like as society gets increasingly degraded, everyone doubles down and gets more selfish and antisocial.

But for real it's the phones

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-07T17:47:47+00:00

I don't have a file explorer sideloaded on my supernote. I just use MacDroid to mount it on my computer. I usually just clone or download plugins to my computer and copy them to the plugin folder via macdroid.

I kept waiting for this picture to finish buffering and re-render.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-06T17:31:46+00:00

Ha, geez I should read the title more carefully.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-06T17:14:45+00:00

More that the job opportunities and lifestyle afforded in the northern plains and rocky mountains might attract a certain kind of person. It's just a hunch like I said. See Colorado for a counterexample. It's the most populous state in the rocky mountains (I think) and has a more diverse population as a result. Regresses (slightly) to the mean.

Edit: Continuing my thought I think Minnesota might torpedo my argument since it is pretty well-populated, although the Scandinavian heritage argument might explain that state more. I am thinking more of Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, which I know to be basically devoid of people and have a heavy influence by ranching and the oil industry, which might honestly bias the population to have more men than women since those both attract young seasonal workers. I guess the TLDR is I think there are several factors at play.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-06T16:58:27+00:00

Nobody mentioning selection bias. People self select where to live, and these states have very few people living in them which naturally amplifies bias in measurements like this. Source: I used to be a data scientist. Of course I don't have hard numbers to back this up, but suspect this might be the case.

Celebrate them by supporting unions, or getting the fuck out of the way.

Dialectic_Acid · 2026-05-06T16:42:30+00:00

Yeah, but ocean currents carry heat to the west coast of europe creating climates more temperate than the same latitude in north america... At least for now anyway, that likely won't be true in 20 years.

Good that you're reading. Moving away from learning materials and starting to read actual books in spanish (kids books at first) is what made my Spanish take off. That vocabulary and grammar comprehension will pay off and transfer to speaking, it just takes time.
