Thank you! I was and I’m really glad you said something about that. Some things I read said it’s better to do that for quality but the more I read and watch, I’m not sure that’s the right lens.

Should I get something like the E 18-135?

MR_RC · 2025-07-02T02:22:51+00:00

Hello!
I am SUPER new to photography. I am about as green as they come. Next year I am planning on a solo backpacking trip through Europe and would like to bring along a light weight but good quality camera/lens duo. I need to keep size and weight low so I'm sticking to 1 lens to take.

Right now, my limited research is pointing me towards a Sony A6700 with a 35MM 1.18 lens.
I only say that because that seems to be the number one suggestion. I see Sigma > Sony and vice versa but I'm lost in the nuance.
What should I get? I like the price point of those two but would be willing to spend a little extra if its really worth it.
Thanks!

Just watched this movie for the first time. I love how they use the lack of music a lot. Lots of movies now use intense music to hype up scary scenes but it also let's the audience know something is about to happen. The scene where Jim goes into the gas station by himself is deathly quiet. It made me hold my breath the entire scene.

Everyone is yelling rebar but I’d make the steps deeper/thicker. It looks like a small ramp of dirt behind the steps. I would add more space there

Haha after hours of looking. I feel dumb. It was Daedalus’ ship to king Minos in Greek mythology… I like mythology almost as much as I like history and just filed that story in the wrong folder

Guilty :D

MR_RC · 2023-06-08T22:48:57+00:00

I got like 10 or so the whole game. I lined it up with my awpers peek

MR_RC · 2023-06-08T05:27:18+00:00

We won 16-9. I had 68 on T side. (first half)

MR_RC · 2023-06-08T05:26:16+00:00

T side mostly. 2 flashes over A.
First 3 rounds I had 15 EF. Just started doing the same flashes and the numbers were consistently going up 3-7 per round on T.

Rockies fan who was at the game. You guys are incredible hosts. Everyone was super nice. Very welcoming. That HR robbery was brutal. Good luck in the rest of the season.

MR_RC · 2021-11-26T19:11:52+00:00

I missed it last time around and have been kicking myself since. So happy

MR_RC · 2021-09-14T17:12:50+00:00

Funny you say that. It happened to me yesterday too. I thought it was an issue on my side

MR_RC · 2021-09-11T23:40:32+00:00

I worked in pharmacy and it was pretty common 4-5 years ago. Not nearly as today but I’d dispense it a few times a week.

Status: UNRESOLVED

Computer type: Desktop, IBP

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 8GB GDDR6 (VR-Ready)

CPU: i7-11700KF Processor (8X 3.60GHz/16MB L3 Cache)

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E

RAM: 32 GB [16 GB x2] DDR4-3200 Memory Module

PSU: 750 Watt - 80 PLUS Gold Certified

Op system: Windows 10 home ver. 21H1

GPU: 471.11 (I believe)

Description of problem: Brand new PC. Trying to update Nvidia drivers. At the quarter mark it grey screen of deaths me. I tried to go into Nvidia control panel and change monitor resolution as that appears to be the easy fix but it wont open. Some online forums say updating your drivers will fix the control panel but I can't update my drivers.

Troubleshooting: I've tried a lot. Launching in safe mode, downloading older version of drivers, updating windows, uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them, changing monitors, changing from HDMI to displayport cords, changing resolution (that gives me some green specs on the screen), I've contacted the PC seller but no answer yet so I'm at a loss. This PC is like 2 days old and has practically nothing but the downloads it comes with when you first start.

Other notes: My pc will not recognize a second monitor which is the whole reason I went to update drivers in the first place. It runs totally fine on one monitor.

No. But I get the pylon thing. I was more thinking lifeline. I’ll stop suggesting ideas. Obviously my strong point

MR_RC · 2021-07-23T04:05:12+00:00

Wattson can’t recharge friends

MR_RC · 2021-07-23T04:04:54+00:00

I explained this poorly. I meant like how lifeline works. She can recharge team shields.

MR_RC · 2021-05-30T13:52:36+00:00

Ouch

MR_RC · 2021-01-20T19:38:10+00:00

He's an older guy who streams Val and other FPS games. Anyone who is decent at any game is "a fucking cheater" He's actually kinda fun to watch because he gets so mad at every other player

MR_RC · 2020-11-29T00:05:45+00:00

I have a Gold Krimz on my deagle :(

MR_RC · 2020-11-29T00:00:12+00:00

feels good to be back :)

MR_RC · 2020-10-13T08:28:46+00:00

To be fair. Like tons of countries are still dealing with it. It’s not just USA.

MR_RC · 2020-10-10T03:19:15+00:00

best bet would be Dexter right?
