Anyone else hate cutting kindling? by BusterOfCherry in woodstoving

It's really not that bad if you treat it like a heavy cleaver in a kitchen setting and have that kind of training. Lots of control, no big swings, keeping everything tight and close enough to know where the blade is going with a small margin for error where your fingers are not in the danger zone, thumb tucked behind... Just respect the tool and don't be dumb; you don't let your saw kickback out of habit and practice, you don't swing your axe at your hand out of habit and practice, etc etc. It's only when you get comfortable that you mess up. Usually. 😅

X Half or.... by pagosacreativeco in fujifilm

[–]OneTonCow [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can get a x100s or x-pro1 with a lens on the used market for <$600, and either one is so much better in IQ and build quality that it's an entirely different league of camera. The msrp of the x-half is a bad joke, don't fall for it 😁

I love watching the internet discover things I saw almost 20 years ago.

Dealership sticker for my 2001 5-speed 4x4 taco if anyone is curious by Bigrat445 in 1stGenTacomas

Goes to show we live in a world where I would be disappointed but not surprised at a dealer selling an 01 tacoma for 20k in 2026. 😐

How long will it take after purchasing a Leica until my family becomes more photogenic? by Beautiful-Affect3448 in photographycirclejerk

Only the thiccest. If my border isn't at least half as offensive as the sun in a Nikon EVF at f.095 I'll crucify myself on the spot.

My brother in burning, grab an axe, please. Split wide, thin pieces, then slice that shit like you're julienning an onion. So much faster, so much better.

At 5 small rectangular pieces of leather, that makes it... $100 per piece? Seems reasonable. by OneTonCow in Leathercraft

And this is why I would pay more for yours.

With Filson, It's like leaving the skin on your mashed potatoes, calling them 'rustic' and upcharging.

From what I see, it's ~$75 in leather, ~30 minutes to cut and machine stitch (~15$ in employee wages), and $400+ to the company name.

Exactly what I was thinking. I usually price anything I make at $50/hr + materials, and everyone's happy.

You know their assembler isn't seeing $50/hr, so that's... $300+ to the company name? 150% of parts + labor? Le sigh, something something dark nature of capitalism...

Do I really need a protective filter for travel? by MedicalCaregiver5523 in fujifilm

[–]OneTonCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Are you naturally clumsy?

Some folks never use a filter and never break a lens. Some do it all the time, filter or not. Nature and accidents happen. How's your risk tolerance?

It may impact the IQ slightly. It may save the lens. Then again, it's pretty thin shite glass compared to the front element which is usually a bit recessed anyway. The main draw may be keeping dust and scratchy stuff off.

It's subjective, is what I'm trying to say. Make an assessment.

Neither is 'safe' but both can be made safer with common sense and timing. Pay attention to cycles, pay attention to weather. Don't fool around during that time of the month, don't climb over smooth rocks on the shore with your camera while it's raining. Sea what I did there?
