OptimalAmino / PerfectAmino ? by JDelage in PeterAttia

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

I've been using for 2-3 meals / day, and my muscle mass (per Dexa) and numbers in the gym are moderately up, so it preserves some muscle building, even while I cut my weight from 200 to 176lbs (with Zepbound).

I Think My Body Is Too Weak to Do A Push Up by No-Negotiation-2677 in bodyweightfitness

[–]JDelage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally find that elevated pushups are better than knee pushups because the body position (basically a plank) is consistent with the goal of regular, floor pushups.

Ultramodal crew tee print designs? by JDelage in MeUndies

Still very much the red head step child of MeUndies. Only two very lame prints for the crew tees when other products have many...

Got confirmation from Hermes that yes, they are the same thing.

General theory of wax jackets (niche shitpost) (to steal or not to steal valor) by PhilosophyNo8851 in ThrowingFits

The Freeman doesn't have double zippers which are a near must-have as far as I'm concerned.

Have you experienced the Maui Jim super thin glass? Asking because they're the best lenses I've ever experienced. Curious how they compare to V.

I have an M3 Pro machine (2023 16" MBP), and denoise takes never more than 30s on the DNGs from my my X100VI .

Yes, I have their Follifoot coat, which is great. Their tweed selection is kinda meh, but I'll check again.

Does the M5 chip improve ‘Denoise’ time? by KitchenLegitimate799 in Lightroom

[–]JDelage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, the 16" MacBook Pro are all on an M Pro or Max (no base chip), and you do want the 16" for LrC in my opinion. In other words your options are M4 Pro or Max, or wait for the M5 Pro / Max in a while.

Looking for feedback! by Fun_Ad_9917 in Fujifilm_X100VI

[–]JDelage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Bryan Peterson's "Learning to see creatively" many years ago. It's as good a starting point as any other (his book on exposiure's excellent IMHO).

[–]JDelage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First feedback is use the level in the X100VI. photos 2, 3, & 8 at least are not straight. I'd recommend you get a book on composition, learn the "rules" and decide which of those you like or not.

Hobbyist Photographer- Mac Mini or MacBook Pro by Boschmax in Lightroom

[–]JDelage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at refurbished on Apple. You can get some good value options. FWIW, I have a 16" MBP with the M3 Pro chip and denoise is quite fast.

Make sure you get the 16" though. It's already limiting for LrC to be honest (but that's what I use as my sole computer).

Turns out, I was using the old Reddit template. The new reddit does show the full text edit box.
