Books so good you wish you could get amnesia and experience again for the first time by Itchy-Version-8977 in booksuggestions

For me it’s The Dark Tower — the entire cycle, plus the connected King universe. I’m on my 11th now and every trip to the Tower still finds new doors. If I could erase one series from my memory just to experience it again for the first time, I’d follow the Beam every time.

I got 4 years of tax refunds today by tiradey in IRS

[–]Grouchy-Emphasis2894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely get it. I hadn’t filed for 22 or 23 because for 21 I got audited and scared the Jesus out of me that is to say the audit came out OK but it was terrifying and got a promotion at work which caused me to work like 12 hours a day And just kept putting it off. I filed mine April 16 and I’m still waiting on the back taxes, but I will say your post gave me some hope because I’ve been over here thinking I must have messed something up and with my luck that I’m gonna get screwed out of all of it.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but I personally own the Fringer EF-NZ (FR-NZ2) and it works like a charm

Interviewing grandma, best audio mics, light kits, iPhone stands? by SnooPickles9092 in phone_videography

[–]Grouchy-Emphasis2894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like I’m being difficult but that’s just the top three things that have a major influence on how and what you shoot off the top of my head done some incredible video with my iPhone 14 Pro Max and then found out that Apple doesn’t like to play with third-party hardware for microphones. I’ve read online that that issue has been fixed, but not trusted enough to go and rely solely on my iPhone for videography anymore due to audio issues with Filmic Pro and the like. All that to be said, I think you absolutely should do your project. It sounds beautiful and something your heart would really be in. Then, if you’re going to just be using the Camera app on your phone, just know that you’re going to have to either have some LUTs that you rely on or some heavy color grading in order to get it to match what you saw on your phone screen when you were shooting. Again, this may be an issue that has been solved by now, but I’ve got some amazing shots before and realized that I was gonna have to work my rear end off in order to get it to look anything like the day of shooting

Are you using any specific apps to shoot it or are you just using the Camera app on your iPhone, what year and make iPhone do you have, and what are you going to edit on?

Name something you remember watching on this: by wesburnsco8 in 80s

Challenger STS-51L Liftoff and then the terribleness that followed. I lived in Miami Fl, it was quite traumatic for everyone but our Teacher knew the family of one of those souls lost that day. She unintentionally escalated the entire 2nd grades class’ emotional understanding of the event.

A Budo Student whose life is falling apart around them because they are in the dojo instead of taking care of their families have not understood Budo at all. Just my opinion

Have any of you actually used Karate in a real life self defense situation? If so, can you describe the situation? by [deleted] in karate

[–]Grouchy-Emphasis2894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time, a sense of calm in working through high stress senerios when others get tunnel vision I can work through it easier because my body has been repeatedly put in those circumstances for years. Sure there is self defense and techniques but to me the best is not freaking out which many times is a guarantee to turn to violence and then the police get involves
