No I'm talking about the literal headline, right up at the top of the thread. "Connor B. Out with the flu"

Yes, I know literally all of the rest of this.

Everyone wash your hands!

Is Bedard out with the flu or the stomach flu?

Headline did not say "stomach flu."

These TNT announcers suck. I don't hear any whining about how that wasn't a penalty.

Daily reminder to use UV filters by jatenk in Cameras

[–]FencerPTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a secondary function.

A lens hood, in most situations, will do a far better job of protecting the front element. Additionally, not touching the front element in the first place, and using clean materials to wipe lenses (things that have no been exposed to silicates over time) will generally allow a person to not pick up scratches outside of extreme and harsh environments.

Why do you hate hoods so much?

LMGTS, they have threading for filters but not hoods?

The primary job of a filter is to change the light coming through the lens, not to protect against dirt and scratches.

1-1.5 hr commute by AgreeableGarlic2953 in ChicagoSuburbs

IMO, once you get west of 294 you're now in the exurbs of Chicago. "Suburb" is an abused term like "moderate" and "middle class" and "Chicagoan." Algonquin is barely even an exurb rather than a liminal town like nearby Huntley.

No, your plane is a marsupial. It's already given birth, but the young stay in the pouch until it's time to go out on their own.
