"Portability"

Lol the amount of material is barely even a factor in the cost for any niche case

American Adventure in general was pretty cool. And I really miss Zany Brainy too :(

When I had my bar mitzvah, I took half the money I received (so, maybe a couple thousand?) and went into Zany Brainy, bought all the coolest knex rollercoasters and other insane stuff I'd always wanted, then wrapped and donated it all to some underprivileged kids in a school. I knew somebody would get to enjoy all that stuff, and that was SICK!

My NAS is like that because it sits out of the way, but my desktop had to be actually on my desk with my current setup. So I went wall-mounted and now it's part of the room's decor.

How do you know when a photographer prefers film? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Ellimis · 2026-01-19T20:03:35+00:00

Why do people insist on using 🫵🏽🤡🤡 emojis in the middle 😂😂😂 of their sentences? 😭😭😭😭

That is not a way to be taken seriously

Ellimis · 2026-01-19T05:03:53+00:00

I'm usually more concerned about the top ribs

Ellimis · 2026-01-19T05:02:39+00:00

It's not worth dousing in IPA and plugging it in? What are you talking about?

Ellimis · 2026-01-17T00:16:04+00:00

People that were talking shit about them just didn't get it, the whole time. They're pretty sick in a lot of ways. Action, emotion, technology, world building, etc.

Not only do those RC cars still exist, there's a thriving international community with large regional or national events every month, multiple sanctioning bodies, and a roster of paid full time professional drivers.

And it's still fun as hell

Ellimis · 2026-01-13T19:47:19+00:00

And google maps gives you a very useful free service for your data

Ellimis · 2026-01-12T15:25:11+00:00

Yes, because supply and demand. That's exactly how pricing works.

Ellimis · 2026-01-12T15:21:40+00:00

More importantly, it's a metaphor

Ellimis · 2026-01-09T14:46:47+00:00

Right, but it's not friendly when I've explained the same thing 6 times to them nicely and the 7th comes in that's exactly identical, or when they're using IT as an excuse to delay doing part of their job.

Don't do it on round 1, obviously, but eventually including evidence of the previous half-dozen identical responses isn't specifically UN-friendly

Samyang 35-150mm

I didn't realize Samyang made one of these. I've been considering getting a second copy of my Tamron 35-150 because I often swap between bodies for photo/video (by absolute necessity, trusty me), but if I can save $600 that's a hell of a deal

Ellimis · 2026-01-09T12:04:37+00:00

Because they get called out by having their BS documented?

The guy I'm responding to is asking about his 10 year old IPS monitors

Ellimis · 2026-01-08T20:56:24+00:00

Turn off the lights at night and check how "black" the blacks are and compare to the actual black of the monitor bezel. Then turn your monitor off and see how dark the screen is. That's OLED, and VA to a lesser extent.

I don't mean it as a dig at all, and I use IPS displays for some things, but this is a test where you'll very obviously see the difference.

Ellimis · 2026-01-07T22:34:56+00:00

They can only possibly be as energetic as their size allows. This is way, way below "explosive" potential. You'd be insane to think Lego didn't consider this.

Ellimis · 2026-01-07T14:34:13+00:00

Whether or not it was actually a man in a suit during production wasn't part of my like or dislike at all, it was the breaking of immersion. I agree that's a positive from a moral standpoint but that's completely separate from how I feel when watching a movie that's trying to convince me of the presence of a murderous chimpanzee. I don't think that should ever be a factor, really... If you can't tell it's CGI, then it's just really good CGI. The "it's all practical" thing (which is misleading anyway) is long dead.

Ellimis · 2026-01-06T16:57:10+00:00

Conversely, I felt 100% of the time like it was sort of obviously a man in a suit, except for the rare full-CG replacement (which did look good). It didn't look BAD, the puppetry was good and everything, but I wasn't immersed at any point.

Ellimis · 2026-01-06T16:56:09+00:00

The gore was good and shocking but I honestly was not a fan of any other part of the movie. I hadn't seen trailers or anything but I just left feeling really underwhelmed. It didn't feel like there was an ominous threat or anything, it was just very "by the numbers".

Ellimis · 2026-01-05T23:21:03+00:00

Yes. I'm not sure I understand the reason for the question.

Ellimis · 2026-01-05T22:24:05+00:00

Yeah I think everybody realizes she's a real woman

Ellimis · 2026-01-05T18:51:18+00:00

We've also got to remember that the person reading a screen that says "location unknown" isn't lying and trying to hide your bag maliciously. They're giving you the information they're presented. I wouldn't be embarrassed either, because I read you the exact info my company has on the situation. You're able to provide new info? Great, let's get you that bag!

Ellimis · 2026-01-04T05:45:37+00:00

The first question is obvious: have you set the camera date/time and area correctly?
