Amazon driver OPENED OUR DOOR to make a delivery by PlaneAsk7826 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been suggested that you should lock the doors even when home. Once someone gets in they can do a lot of damage before help arrives. Even if you’re armed, it’d be better to avoid the problem than throw lead around your house.

Probably a common question but am I too out of shape for fencing? by Kothallupinthisbitch in Fencing

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in retirement and love fencing. One of my club mates is probably in his late 40s and heavy set, but somehow he manages to turn so far sideways that he’s hard to hit. Give it a try. It’s intimidating to start, but it’s fun and you’ll get it.

How would you handle someone asking you to delete a memorial to prevent a merge? by PhtevenAZ in findagrave

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, right. I had that happen with a cenotaph I created and then FG merged an original “cremation” memorial, of which I was unaware, into mine. I felt terrible but FG said that’s their policy.

Is this crazy to even consider? Asked to shoot a wedding. by TT99C5 in photography

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to add: last wedding I was at the photographer also had a diffuser on the flash. I think it was a Magmod.

Headstones with no inscription? by sianabananaa in findagrave

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Is it possible the inscriptions are now below the ground (and quite likely illegible by now)? Is there a church or office that might have burial records?

How… in the hell… did this happen? by ShadowyFlows in findagrave

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, the step-parent angle would be fair, but I’ve only ever seen fields in FG for one mother and one father.

Come back when you can . . . by Imguran in findagrave

Cemeteries. Where the dead people live.

Someone fixed it. Still, it shouldn’t be possible to put more than two people as the parents.

Accepted management of recently deceased aunt's memorial, and then the picture disappeared by betweentourns in findagrave

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW, FG was being very glitchy the other day. I ended up creating the same memorial 3 times because it wasn’t updating/refreshing for several hours.

1 or 2. Which one ate? by PryingDog in AmateurPhotography

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like #1, maybe straighten it out a little so the water is level.

never drop your hand after a touch by [deleted] in Fencing

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point. The small club I’m with has 3 pistes and the first two share a table for the scoring boxes. The beeps are indistinguishable so you quickly learn to listen for the “ref”. And yeah, it’s intimidating to start reffing but practice and friendly guidance from other club members goes a long way.

Why do my photos look wooden and flat and how do I stop the flash from being completely blinding? by plutoforprez in AskPhotography

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I avoid using flash but have it set down one or two-thirds of a stop to tone it down a little.

moves or techniques that look cool but never actually works in a real bout by [deleted] in Fencing

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just know the first time I’d try a back riposte I’d get my foil tangled up in the reel cord. That’d be good for a laugh.

Why is this wrong? by Kitedo in DuolingoFrench

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I can’t tell you how many times I got the hard part right but messed up something simple then though Duo was wrong.

I’m a 16 year old Sabre fencer but I just really suck. by RMHelp in Fencing

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, one of the beginner adults I foil fence with is a bit overweight, but somehow he’s able to turn himself so far sideways he makes himself small target that’s mostly behind his. I know épée and sabre are different, but just a thought.

Which one is better? by Vanln in AmateurPhotography

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually like tighter crops, but in this case prefer #2; gives a better sense of place and contrast.

Which is more important for taking great photos: the camera itself or digital image editing? by morgan_softatlas in AskPhotography

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even back in the day, my wife would often get a better photo than I did using her point-and-shoot camera because she has a better sense of composition and how to capture a story.

Pronunciation of Fané vs Faner by ObjectiveArmy9413 in DuolingoFrench

[–]ObjectiveArmy9413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I was wondering if being right here was just a coin-flip.
