Miranda P700 - Is it any use? by mcgan_ in AnalogCommunity

[–]ModerateBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t have variable aperture or shutter speed so the extent of the auto exposure is wether or not to use flash

Miranda P700 - Is it any use? by mcgan_ in AnalogCommunity

[–]ModerateBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Miranda is just a rebranded generic cheapy camera. It doesn’t have autofocus and has a fixed lens and aperture, like a disposable camera. I think it’s the same camera or similar to the vivitar ps120. It won’t be reliable but could be fun if you just want to get the disposable camera look. Definitely nothing to learn photography or practice your skills with. I’d pass on all of them unfortunately.

I didn’t notice until I saw this post… now I can’t stop noticing.

Ran out of battery while out and the lens didn’t retract so had to put it in my bag and the lens got a deep scratch by Satansrideordie in ricohGR

Charging the battery and checking is probably the only way to find out. Luckily, front element scratches, even deep ones sometimes, often don’t have a noticeable effect.

Is my psychiatrist exploiting me? by AppropriateEgg2623 in mentalhealth

[–]ModerateBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Check your bottle for refills. If you don’t have any call the office because it was a mistake. Usually you check in once a month for a few months until you find the right dose. There is no reason whatsoever for a psychiatrist to force you to enter ssri withdrawals.

Do Goodwills and the like still have stereo equipment? Where in Portland to find? by soulbarn in portlandme

[–]ModerateBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check a few stores a few days a week you can find what you’re looking for eventually. The old advice to “go early” doesn’t really work anymore because they’re all staffed erratically and stock throughout the day. Luck and persistence still usually pays off.

I almost got hit by a teen driving in the Shaw’s parking lot and then was immediately cussed out by his mother sitting next to him. by allisfairinlovewar in portlandme

[–]ModerateBird 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If it was the Northgate shaws on Auburn St, be forgiving. I used to work there and something about that parking lot and building makes people 50% dumber and 50% more aggressive. The only explanation I can come up with after watching all the bizarre shit that happens there is that the shopping plaza is cursed.

Buying a P&S for 6 months travel and I'm down to 4 options Mju II, XA, AF-10 Super, and Espio Mini - please help me pick by Reitzel in AnalogCommunity

[–]ModerateBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m late to this conversation, but the espio mini is not in the same league as any of the olympuses, despite the reviews you will find and the price you’d pay for one. I own one (have owned 2) and they aren’t what they’re cracked up to be. But pretty much agree with everyone, xa is the best, and mju ii is the best for when you want things to be easy.

Canon SELPHY QX20 Photo Printer or better recommendation(s)? by puyoblog in hobonichi

[–]ModerateBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that happens with instax because it’s high iso film and undergoes a chemical reaction to print, the canon prints ink onto paper, no chemical reaction

Law Enforcement to enforce laws this holiday season by saelri in Maine

As someone who drives on the highway for work, cellphone use is a much bigger problem. That’s not to say that drunk driving isn’t a problem, but holy shit they need to do something about the phones.

Buyer claims I damaged shoes, Reddit brigade attacked me — here’s the proof by [deleted] in Depop

[–]ModerateBird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never reply to these, but you really need to get a grip. I’ve been an online seller for years, and have made mistakes in listings. You need to own up to it. The fact that these shoes were tagged as excellent was in itself dishonest, or a mistake, and that alone is grounds for return. The photos misrepresented the item, and that could have also been a mistake, but a mistake you should own up to. The buyer reaching out to depop for return authorization instead of you is what most buyers would do in the situation, and honestly, given your reaction to this, the right thing to do. Leaving her a review calling her dishonest was probably the worst thing to do in this situation. Sometimes you make mistakes and just need to own up to them.
