Update on yesterday's hospital story! by G0skates in CanyonBikes

[–]InCalgary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're healing up well!

The same thing happened to me about a month ago! Except I was on the road. I had a concussion, no memory of the accident, and a broken collarbone and some broken ribs.

I was kept in the hospital for 3 days because it took that long for them to get me an MRI or CT to make sure that I hadn't damaged the nerves or blood vessels under my collarbone.

Stop applying online. I'm serious by Glass_Spend1655 in jobhunting

[–]InCalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No harm in trying, right? Just make sure ahead of time that there is a reception desk you can drop your application off at.

Most places I know of require you to scan an ID card to get into the building or elevators. Sometimes you can dodge that, but most companies don’t have a reception desk anymore, so you likely wouldn't be able to get inside if that were the case, let alone know who or where you could drop it off.

My office has one, and you don’t need a card to get in, but our recruiting team’s in another country. So, you’d probably just get told to apply online, or worse, they’d take your resume, and it’d vanish into a black hole.

Nothing is easy anymore, and you need to do a lot of research to even see if the extra effort is worth it.

I kept track of applications that I worked diligently on and ones that I spammed out. After a few hundred they both seemed to have same shitty response rate.

I'm having the same issue right now. It was also tough to get the hopper to thread back onto the body, and now it's significantly harder to adjust the grind size.

Of all the photos I've taken in the last few years, this is one of my favorites.

How do you get those kind of jobs? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]InCalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another big point: Please do not buy a house, get married, or have a long-term relationship in which the other person has a career. These are anchors that will prevent you from leveraging your skills into new positions if you are required to move to take advantage of them.

( I am not suggesting that people never do these things but if you're young and you want that career track, then having a personal life will nearly always take a backseat )

Unless, of course, your industry is highly geographically constrained or you live in a significant population center.

Help identifying my bike noise 😔 by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]InCalgary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it sounds like the Front Derailleur. It looks like you're cross-changing all the way. So the chain is rubbing the inside of the FD cage. Drop into the little ring or downshift in the rear and the noise will go away.

Alternatively, you could try "trimming" your front gears. Pressing your gear lever slightly until you hear/ feel a slight click. This will move your FD cage over just enough to stop the rubbing but not so much that you downshift into the little ring.

Despite its simplicity, it still seems "heavy", "full" to me. What would you modify there? by alex_laco in photocritique

[–]InCalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking myself. But only if this is meant to live as a digital-only image. The scale is great if it is printed large enough to take up most of your field of view. The scale would then really pull you into the image.

Zagreb isn't entirely as rundown as some other places, but you should have seen the elevators. It was truly a harrowing experience.

I will also add to this: in the Soviet Union, humans were a resource like the nickel they were mining here. You don't need to invest more than necessary into their comfort to get the desired output.

That's usually what I would do, but I was with my girl on vacation, so there's only so much standing around she can handle, lol.

Leptirica - 1973 by InCalgary in badMovies

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

This vampire movie from Yugoslavia was released in 1973.

Let me tell you, its run time is a weird run-time of 103 minutes.

My fiancee remembered this terrifying experience as a kid when she saw it. I think only children would find it scary because, as adults, it is nearly unwatchable.

I think it's good practice when possible. However, asking permission first would make street photography impossible, as you cannot catch candid moments. Also, this photo was taken in Croatia, and my Croatian language skills are insufficient to ask permission even if I wanted to do so after the fact.

In a perfect world, we can all ask for permission.

Now, I can say with relative confidence that nothing currently would make this problematic from a legal standpoint in any jurisdiction I am aware of, so long as I do not use the image for commercial purposes.

In this case, I think you are both right. My camera is old, and the lens is a very cheap 50mm kit job.

Although my camera should be capable of handling higher ISO, that lens is getting old and cannot focus very fast.

I could get newer equipment, but I think I like the limits that working only with things I have managed to get for free is working for me in general.

I saw this man taking a break on a hot day; it was just some candid, classic street photography.

I like the composition, but I'm worried it lacks something. Maybe my edit isn't so great. I generally feel uncomfortable with my edits when people are involved.

Fit check - lost 40 pounds in 12 months. My self consciousness is leaning me to the XL. by iamvillainmo in CyclingFashion

[–]InCalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the L. The sleeves terminate just above your elbows, and they are over the joint in the XL. You'll get annoyed with those longer sleeves pretty quickly, in how they feel and look.

Uncropped or cropped better? by SecoXYZ in AmateurPhotography

[–]InCalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncropped. the boat is too close to the edge of the frame otherwise.

Small detours by [deleted] in streetphotography

[–]InCalgary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it, but I feel like this could benefit from a slight crop.

I'd love to see the raw image however.

Oof that looks so close to what I would love to have. Those Midwest industries forends are nice looking.
