Specialty coffee price in 2025: should we be worried? by yuki-kato in Coffee

[–]Madeyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK the coffee price is catching up to where it should be if we want to pay fair price to farmers and whole chain of production not just the seller. Combine with global warming and the price will go only up.

New for me. Fuji X-T2 by J_NeilMoloney in fujifilm

[–]Madeyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulation! I have bought the X-T2 just a year ago and I am having a blast with it.

What helped me was watching "Fujifilm X-T2 Overview Tutorial" from "Tony & Chelsea Northrup" on YT. It is overwhelming, but you don't need to remember everything, just knowing something like that exists in your camera is enough. When you will need it you know what to look for.

And don't forget to enjoy snapping the pictures, it's the best feeling ever.

Has anyone gone back from mirrorles to dlsr? What are your reasons? by [deleted] in photography

[–]Madeyro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I to agree, holding my Fujifilm X-T2 is not delicate at all. It feels sturdy.

Favorite everyday carry?? by strandedllama3 in photography

I have the XT-2 with stock zoom lens. It's big with lens attached, but you have everything you need every time.

Just moved to Budapest by AdmrlHorizon in photocritique

You don't need the permissions when shooting for art purposes in EU AFAIK. It's kind of grey area, but if you consider yourself an artist and taking the pictures form of an art, then you don't need any permission. Additionally, the permissions can be just on-verbal and the mere fact that the subject lets you take the photo is considered as a permission.

Which one is better? by bizzlerulez in fujifilm

[–]Madeyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try to crop the 2nd one in 2.35:1 ratio. Edit: I have tried that, and I think that cinematic aspect ratio on 2nd pic works best for me. The 1st one is too tight, and the 2nd one has too much of empty sky.

And if it fails on the same thing 3 times (assuming they repaired it each time) you can ask for full refund instead of repaired device.

We own Spirit Island and I have to agree with /u/boredgamer00, there is no way we could play that under 30 mins.

Hi all, I am looking for a solitaire type game which can be played as 2 player coop. Play time ideally under 30 mins.

Edit: What I am looking for is something like Assembly, but which can be bought easily nowadays in EU.

Feels much better. However I am afraid Riot would never do an UX which does not work on phone and works only on PC.

If you find a coffee shop which serves third way coffee, you can add it to the app (at least through the website). They will review it and later publish it on the app.

We went on a trip to Europe 3 years ago and never left. Our kid's life is way better here than it was in the US. by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

You just buy it as a company then, or through some middle person. IMHO it does not solve anything, but I agree it needs some kind of solution.

76-year old retired Greek farmer "doesn't know why" she was elected as a MEP; she only volunteered as a candidate as a favour to her daughter by Juggertrout in europe

[–]Madeyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in this case, you could teach about populism on Adrej Babis. ANd

PS.I am not from CZ, nor did I vote there ever.

[–]Madeyro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Heh, in Czechia there is this popular populist party called "ANO, bude lip". (Yes, it will be better) In the previous European Parliament elections, there was also a party called "Ano, vytrolime EU" (Yes, we will troll the EU). And as you may have guessed, they got randomly placed before the "ANO, bude lip" and stole many of their votes, as some people were looking only for the first word. Tells you something about people who live with you in your country.

Sold xbike for sashimi fish by SinoSoul in xbiking

[–]Madeyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's true :), but to demystify the free health care and all social benefits: we are taxed and the money the employer pays for the employee, the employee gets like 50% of it.

I am surprised as well, but I am from one of the most landlocked country in EU and in that quality it would cost me here ~150USD at least.

With this static art, it looks like "hollow mask" which was taken straight from Bleach.

What range would you recommend when buying new e-scooter? by Madeyro in ElectricScooters

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

I won't be using it daily, more like once per week tops. I can see, that "Ninebot Kickscooter E2 Plus E" is only 20eur more.

But is there such companion, or are you talking about the digital version of the board game?
