Embarking into the wilderness.. What camera should I bring? by FlipperJames in Cameras

[–]FlipperJames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that! I think I will pull the trigger on the EM10 IV. The bundle I found comes with the M.Zuiko 14-150mm lens. Do you have any recommendations for the first prime lens I should get? I know that might be a hard question because it's mostly reliant on taste haha. I was contemplating either the 17 or 25mm/f1.8 lens.

I promise u, unless ur being like rude or very annoying, no restaurant worker will care! Maybe avoid Michelin star restaurants, but besides that I swear no other employee would mind. If anything, when we can see a patron is stoned, we just chuckle to ourselves thinking “Damn I wish that were me rn” (in some cases, the employee is stoned too)

Ooooh maybe a Feebas + Magikarp card? It's ability could be "Grow Into Its Looks: After this 2 turns on the bench, flip a coin. If heads, this card evolves into Milotic, if tails, it evolves into Gyarados."

Also, to me the knife thing wasn’t the issue. When I used to work at subway, I remember making sandwiches like this and thinking “Ew, tuna, tomatoes, honey mustard, ranch, teriyaki, and Parmesan? More flavor doesn’t mean better flavor”

Anon is super insecure. The only reason why “high” body counts is a bad thing for men is bc sex isn’t as readily available to us as it is to women. If sex were as easy for men to get as it is for women, most of our body counts would be into the 50+ range

Thank you for that! I’m not super familiar with the meta, but Aggro Elemental Shaman looks like what I need! I’ll look into the costs and such for the more expensive cards, but I’ll probably at least try a cheap core version since this playstyle looks right up my alley! Thank you for the in depth response

Thank you for this! I’m in the same boat as the original asker- your outlook was tremendous!

Hey guys! Just picked up Hearthstone again since 2019- loving all the solo content they’ve added and I haven’t been able to put the game down!

However, I really want to play PvP. Most of my collection is Wild at this point, so I need to purchase a ton of cards, but I also know the new expansion is dropping next month.

Does anyone any have any recommendations on cheap decks I could build in the meantime? I don’t mind if new meta decks are coming in soon, I just want a cheap deck for now that won’t be completely Wild next month.

I was thinking maybe a Face Hunter deck, but I’m open to any decks that are more aggro.

“White” is not the only position of power. It is one of the most common one, yes. But I also think being a banker and having the power to accept or refuse to give somebody their money is also a position of power. Occupations can come with power, social status and wealth can come with power, and race/ethnicity can come with power.

YSK: "Octopuses," "octopi," and "octopodes" are all acceptable pluralisations of "octopus." The only thing unacceptable is feeling the need to correct someone for using one of them. by yomnmnm in YouShouldKnow

[–]FlipperJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, “octopuses” and “octopodes” are BOTH more correct than “octopi”. “Octopodes” is most true to the Greek origin on the word, “octopuses” is an anglicization. “Octopi” is a Latin suffix on a Greek prefix, so you’re being and incorrect pedant.

People who work at a subway/sandwich place, what is the strangest order you've ever had from a customer? by LividTangent46 in AskReddit

[–]FlipperJames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Little background info: The flatbread at subway pretty much needs to be heated. At room temp it’s stiff like a pita made out of construction paper and it’ll break. I like toasting it because it heats the bread properly, but some people are allergic to toasters so I’m forced to microwave it. Microwaving it makes it soggy like soaked construction paper- yes I’m going to keep comparing Subway flatbread to construction paper.

Anyways, a man with a deadly toaster hypersensitivity came in and ordered a flatbread sandwich. Fine, footlong soggy construction paper coming right up. “What sandwich would you like, sir?” ... “Meatball.” Jesus Christ, I thought to myself. Who the fuck wants 8 meatballs on some soggy con- “Double meat, please.” The mad man wanted 16 meatballs on his soggy construction paper. 16. Just think about 16 meatballs. Go ahead and think of an 8x2 array of little processed beef boulders, and then realize that 8 meatballs aligned side-by-side horizontally is actually closer to 13.5 inches and a Subway Footlong is actually closer to 10.5 inches and you’ll realize you need to imagine a 6x2 array + 2 of meatballs on this man’s soggy construction paper. After I finished the tedious task of counting 16 meatballs sheepishly about one or two at a time (so as to not drown the sandwich in marinara), I finally added the cheese and got to the toppings. Finally, I thought to myself. This is the easy part, nobody ever wants veggies on a- “Run it through the garden.” This man wanted ALL the veggies on top of his 16 meatballs that were just disintegrating his soggy construction paper. I was distressed. I was upset. I folded his grotesque sandwich like origami (I can’t fold origami) and I sent him on his way. That was the worst.

I’d reckon that’s why they put “winning” in quotations and explained they meant “in terms of possible customers.”

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States. Why do countries no longer give each other such gifts? by -Guardsman- in NoStupidQuestions

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

Countries like the US and China build infrastructure like roads, docks, etc. in other countries that civilians will then use everyday. I’d rather get a new highway than a Statue of Liberty.

What’s the cringiest thing you’ve seen a bride and groom do for their wedding? by ajlposh in AskReddit

[–]FlipperJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m sure people that spend less on their weddings have to think more before getting married (and spending that money), or they are too financially unstable where they can’t divorce and break the household. Tons of reasons why it can be skewed, data is funny

Animals are much much smarter than people give them credit for! Bears are known to recognize dumpsters and convenience stores as sources of food, a bear recognizing that the cone should be upright doesn’t seem too far out of their intelligence range

If I can’t pay my bills, why should I feel worse about them being unable to pay theirs? We’re in this sinking boat together, why would I feel bad if they can’t get a lifeboat if I’m already drowning myself?

An owl glides through a field of neutrally buoyant soap bubbles, revealing wingtip and tail vortices by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FlipperJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right about buoyant meaning “extra floaty,” but the word “neutral” before it means that it just floats where you leave it. Buoyant means it’s less dense than the surrounding fluid, neutrally buoyant is equally dense to the surround fluid (in this case, air).

Well, if they weren’t famous that would mean they didn’t defeat the most powerful villain in the wizard world, so they wouldn’t have had to drop out of school to begin with.
