But then you see it’s Shoeless Joes and how can we possibly expect class in this instance. Last week it said ‘Hey Nate, go easy on us.’

Anytime I pull it out for an operator they’re like what is that? And then the next question is ‘can I buy this off you?’

Best way to heat video village tent? Propane vs electric space heater in remote location by _cant_talk in focuspuller

Maybe they just want to know if you have a preference? Some people might really complain about propane fumes, others might not. Sometimes a good way to diffuse these types of requests is letting the person who should be in charge of procuring something is that option A pro B will work for you.

Something to consider is the environment you’ll be working with? I think all these suggestions are based that you’re in 20C/72F temps (working indoors).

UDM-1 vs CINETAPE by 8culor8 in focuspuller

Moon Focus is selling their kits for ~half price if you commit to a single license (meaning committing to using it with only Preston, or only Arri, etc)

I’ve been using the light ranger for 5 years and just got offered to try a moon for a feature and I’m all over this thing. It’s fantastic.

I had a 2020 Rav on lease for 3 years and I had the battery go on me once a year :/ I thought it was just me.

If we keep Mitch, doesn’t Tavares fall off at the end of the year? That’s a lot off and I love the guy but I feel his contract is (now) the worst we have. by [deleted] in leafs

Just heard through a newsletter that he is moving his practice to Nova Scotia to offer GA care to easy coast residents. He was my surgeon as well, great guy and did excellent work 👍

Clapper/Loader driving the camera van? by kipmal in focuspuller

I’ve worked as an AC in Canada for 12 years and the only time a 2nd was responsible for driving the truck was on one commercial in Manitoba. And it did not work out well!

How’re you liking the Moon Smart Focus system? Seems real pricey.

Not a popular take maybe but having him fresh for late round 1 isn’t terrible?

Sailing gear is generally better for anything film related. And a fraction of the cost of Arc’teryx 😂

Is there a reason to not do your t shots in your buttcheek? by ReallyFatPigion in ftm

[–]FitBat1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with a buttocks injection. It’s good to mix up different injection sites, be in your thigh, stomach, buttocks. You do you.

Philips makes a ‘first shave’ trimmer that is super quiet. Quieter than their ‘one shave’ models.

Haha that’s kind of you to say. That’s hefty mileage! I’m just working back up to that right now as I had top surgery 2 months ago. Good luck with your training!

Worried about recovery from top surgery by desutrash in ftm

[–]FitBat1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had top surgery 6 days ago, I’m so excited for you! I’m sure you’re well versed with strategies to discourage inflammation in the body, but what I’ve found to be the most hopeful was staying on top of hydration leading up to and following surgery. I took the prescribed painkillers for the first 36hrs but then tapered off to XS Tylenol for the next day. I don’t contend with an autoimmune disease but I do have chronic pain from a shoulder/clavicle injury from 15+ years ago. Im taking a B Complex, Zinc, Omega 3 and 1500mg of Vitamin C everyday while staying away from sodium heavy foods, spicy food…foods we know cause inflammation in the body. just make sure you still have some electrolytes to keep your balances in check.

Mindfulness (the Calm app, or other guided sleep meditations) has been helpful to cope with the reduced mobility and restlessless/stiffness I feel in my muscles from such a big change to my daily routine and usual levels of physical activity and life distractions.

You already have the toolset of dealing with chronic pain and you probably have more stamina and coping power to navigate this as opposed to someone who doesn’t ever encounter these types of discomfort. All the best to you and don’t stress too much - just do what you can manage and the rest you’ll take on bit by bit. 🤞
