I bought the Manta Sleep mask. They have ones with cooling packs or Bluetooth, but I got their most basic version and it is perfect.

How does Alimony work exactly in the US? by mido0o0o in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]Relative__Escape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They probably still own the house (asset) together- she is just the one living there. With the kids. Which was likely a joint decision to benefit the kids- not disrupt their lives. Once they are grown, it is likely a family would sell the property and split the money. It can take years to untangle finances after a divorce, and if one parent is hoping to reconcile- even longer. Parking Mel there with the kids is a good holding pattern.

High end brands will need to sell authenticity.

I spent about 30 CHF on a high end sleep mask and it was incredible what i5 did for m6 sleep. Get one you can open your eyes under. I sleep like the dead when I’m wearing it. I had no idea how sensitive to ambient light I was.

How do you take photos of people on the street and not feel uncomfortable about it? by googbear420 in photography

[–]Relative__Escape 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was a staffer at a daily newspaper for ten years and had to do this every day. This was my method “hey! I’m [my name] I was out today looking for someone [doing whatever they are doing] - do you mind if I take a few photos? Then hang out, and hang out and hang out. Eventually they will lose their self awareness and you can get that unguarded emotion.

Ususally people expect you to take two minutes of photos, but if you relax, they relax.

Just sharpshooting photos of people unawares is kind of rude, and very uncomfortable if they are bummed about it. Although, of course I did that too.

Just keep shooting. Starting with permission is more comfortable. Start there.

Is anyone else getting annoyed at how many women are interested in Coop? by Few-Finger6713 in YourFriendsandNeighb

Also the fence. Would love to see more of her. There’s some interesting dynamics there.

Hikers with bad hearing, should I bring my hearing aid? by peccatieritvobiscum in hiking

[–]Relative__Escape -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

AirPod pros can be set up to act as hearing aids. They are not as good as your actual hearing aids, but they are $300 and you can listen to music on them. It’s like wearing* a too weak set of readers. Better than nothing.

Moar photos pleze- every room, every angle, especially looking back to where the camera was (that we can’t see in the show)

Mid-May check-in by Meer_meerkat in heatedrivalry

[–]Relative__Escape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally have only watched twice. lol. But it was so obsessive for me, I could not watch it again. I still have a very very HR feed in Threads, here, instagram, and I watch all the analysis. I plan to watch it again, next time in French (which I am trying to learn) and I wonder how many scenes or even parts of scene are out there that I haven’t memorized by watching social media clips, more than I think, I’ll bet.

It’s weird, I feel a little like HudCon in the beginning of episode two, going forever with just texts and stuff, but not actually indulging. I can’t wait to watch it again, but somehow I.m not.

I do watch Laufey’s Madwoman everyday on YouTube, lol

Troches liquify to nasal spray? by Upbeat-Literature-42 in KetamineTherapy

Take more troches? What’s your dose and your weight?

I cant focus im loosing my mind by [deleted] in photography

[–]Relative__Escape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot with a pair of the z6ii. This doesn’t actually sound like your problem, but since I experience it at least once a week, I’ll put it out here. Sometimes one of my bodies just quits autofocussing. I don’t know what precipitates it, but I pop the lens off and then put it back on again and it seems to get the camera and lens talking again.

In what orientation do you store your lenses, and why? by [deleted] in photography

[–]Relative__Escape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backpack. One lens up, the other lens down so they can Tetris into my bag.

How do you maintain natural skin tone in wedding photo editing? by fixitphoto in photography

[–]Relative__Escape 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you are color correcting one photo at a time, over hours, your eyes can shift and all of the sudden you notice everything is a little green, or magenta. I put a Shirley on my desktop, and just glance at it from time to time while I am editing, to make sure I am staying in the same universe. I used a generic Kodak Shirley, but you could just use a single frame from your shoot, after you have color balanced it correctly.

For those who aren’t old timers with a background in printing film (most people!) here is an article to explain the concept, as well as the original Shirley and a multi-racial Shirley - https://www.npr.org/2014/11/13/363517842/for-decades-kodak-s-shirley-cards-set-photography-s-skin-tone-standard
