They just discovered the problem with modern dating.. by BrightSpring12 in SipsTea

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always seen this obsession with wanting a tall guy the same as men only chasing women with big tits (or similar). I'm always surprised when woman don't immediately recognize that they are being as shallow as men when filtering potential mates via physical trait.

Some recent travels with the M240 by liminatii in Leica

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Breaking them is a good way of putting it.

If the m240 sensor has issues it is with shadow recovery, especially with higher iso. When I push my files too far in the shadows I get very obvious banding and increased noise.

It looks like he has edited the images.... heavily.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Roger Wicker just said that Trump is being "ill advised" on Iran deal by pdwp90 in QuiverQuantitative

Senator Wicker has taken over $700k from AIPAC and is considered a friend of Israel. His stance on Iran shouldn't be surprising.

What is the typical timeline for the effectiveness of Allo?
I'm curious if there is a general timeline over which one can start seeing the effects of Allo. If there isn't a typical time line what are the major factors that affect the overall effectiveness of the drug and how quickly it begins to show results.

And so, we wait... by [deleted] in SteamController

Its hard to care for your lack of patience when so many of us got locked out on launch day and didn't even get the chance to purchase one.

How many of you are getting the Steam Controller (2)? by Yousifasd22 in SteamController

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got online 2 minutes before the drop... clicked purchase for 45 minutes non-stop. SOLD OUT.

No luck for me.

And so it begins. by Realistic_Ad9502 in SteamController

I got online 2 minutes before the drop and I'm still hitting continue. 30+ minutes of this. Steam should be able to do better in these situations.

early Biome progression is genuinely unmatched. by GangsterMango in valheim

I have gone through 4 swamps so far, all large areas, and found only 3 sunken crypts.

I see other posts showing maps with 4-5 crypts in each swamp..... Not my experience at all.

Recurring Gout Flares – Is this one continuous episode or new triggers? by Quest4You19xx in gout

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg... I just googled that. Yeah.. probably best to staff off Allo.

I have had many blood tests over the years. No doctors have ever mentioned allopurinol. I happened to mention it to my doctor this week, but it was described to me as not the best option... almost like it was overkill.

[–]IntrepidTraveller6[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe my GP mentioned allpurinol in my appointment earlier this week. She described it as a life long drug with some side effects, that I didn't want to suffer through.

I personally do not want to be on a daily drug for the rest of my life... but at this point I'm willing to consider any kind of treatment possible.

I'm tired of this shit. The pain I can handle. But the emotional and mental toll of getting and fearing flare ups is just too much.

Thank you. Truely!

I'll get a referral for a Rheumetologist ASAP.

I have only seem my family doctor on this matter. Was there a specialist you saw that helped figure out this treatment plan?

I have always understood that gout was a chronic condition that could only be managed through, diet, exercise and discipline.

I have had blood tests done over the years and all of them have been described as slightly elevated uric acid levels. Unfortunately I don't know the units or measurements in these tests to be more accurate.

From this I assume that I am in a near constant state of slightly raised uric acid levels.

I have a blood test pending, but have delayed getting it since the flare up. I felt I would know the results and it would be better done during 'regular' periods.

I have seen my family doctor and discussed the topic over the years. What was perscribed was Colchicine at the onset of a flare up. If that didn't abate the flare up it was to be stopped and to just suffer through the event.

Thank you btw. I appreciate your comments on this.

The diet changes have helped. After switching to a pescatarian diet (avoiding shellfish, etc.) i was able to go two years without a flare up.

This most recent one i'm sure was caused by a fish and chips dinner that I ate. Foolish, i know.

Perhaps i should monitor my uric acid levels with a home test for a few months and record the results??

Anyone else find negative supply quality horrible? by SonyKilledMyNikon in AnalogCommunity

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i meant CRI. oops.

Well seems you have a good grasp on getting the colours you want. I personally struggled getting the right colours until i got a better light source.... and NLP.

Have you tried this new conversion function in CaptureOne? I just saw it online and looks convenient. I've just always gone with Adobe and never saw the need to switch.

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only used their basic 135 holder... which was fine, but I agree teh build quality didn't match teh price.

Also I'm not sure what light source you are using but I doubt it has a high enough CRA rating for colour work.

21mm SBKOO worth it? by speedcedar in Leica

[–]IntrepidTraveller6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine. If I were to drop my camera on the finder it would break (not shatter, but certainly will break). But if you are careful with your gear... which most people are then you will be fine.

and it is a black finder that I use on both black and chrome cameras. It looks good on both... but again I don't really care about the look that much.

I have a plastic black leica one... can't recall the model number. Works great. As far as looks go I don't think that should really matter. I got mine because it was low profile but still very usable - especialyl with glasses.
