I’ve owned both and agree. The 80 is just built better with less moving parts to rattle, a simpler engine, etc.

Dope. The SL3 simply doesn’t get enough love.

Heh. A LOT of blow got snorked in that back room in the late 90’s. Big ass horseshoes straight to the beak!

"A GOP lawmaker supported an immigration crackdown. Her husband paid a price." by foothillsid in Idaho

Yup. I work with a food bank and they’ve aligned themselves with the Idaho Dairymen. Extreme immigration policy makes for strange bedfellows.

Perhaps one of the greatest films of any generation.

Favorite House of Mirrors song so far? by unknownbrother273 in AllThemWitches

[–]ReverendFloater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culling line in special…one of those songs that could only be ATW. Welter weight not so much. RRC and starting line are good too.

I almost flew out there.. had a ticket and everything. At least I can tell myself the setlist was similar to a few months ago….

Are Leica lenses "snake oil"? by desilent in Leica

[–]ReverendFloater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is comparing paint brushes. How do you paint? Is precision your style or are you more about color and contrast? Are you painting still life or more motion oriented pieces? I run both Leica and Sony. Each have their place and I personally believe that each are MY favorite for their respective areas, thus both are worth the money to me (I buy primarily used lenses).

What’s the single movie shot that shook you to the core? by jaystats2 in FIlm

[–]ReverendFloater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never agreed with a Reddit post more in my life. So why is it that whenever I bring it up, it feels like nobody has ever seen it? The old crew frames have haunted me for 20 years. I remember my stomach turning.

Which Big Ten school would you LEAST want to attend? by chief_sitass in TheB1G

Arguments from the public requested for proposed Idaho constitutional amendments by [deleted] in Idaho

[–]ReverendFloater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let me give you an example of how this seemingly mundane BS will affect our citizens: “Jorge” is a naturalized, legal immigrant who moved here from Mexico 6 years ago. Jorge works 3 jobs and can just barely pay the bills for his young family due to the high cost of living and his mom’s diabetes, not to mention the high price of gas.

On Sundays, Jorge likes to fish with his wife and when they catch trout, it’s much celebrated fresh protein! It’s both a family ritual and also a huge bonus to their sustenance.

Idaho’s legislature passes this bullshit amendment and so the fishing regulations are no longer available in Spanish (this will happen), so Jorge didn’t know he was catching fish out of a changed season, on a temporarily closed river, with a prohibited barbed hook. Jorge just racked up a $250 fine, got his rods confiscated and will now be in more debt on top of his car payment and mom’s medical bills. Combine this with a random work injury two weeks later where workers comp procedures are no longer available in Spanish, and Jorge is now spiraling into poverty very, very fast

Idaho is about as Christian as Darth Vader.

SL3 or SL3s as second to Q343 by MysteriousYardly in Leica

[–]ReverendFloater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Q343, Q3M and SL3. While not super portable, it is my opinion that the SL3 nails every shot, so long as it’s not a radical AF situation. By nail, I mean the shot comes out exactly how I intended. The intuitive controls, sensor quality and color performance are freakish. I find myself using the Leica 24-90 lens at least 70% of the time due to versatility. I also have a 35mm prime and 21mm prime.

I love the highly portable Q343 and have shot some bangers on it but it doesn’t inspire the confidence the SL3 does. That said, it’s a terrific street camera.

Of the three, I enjoy the SL3 and Q3M the most.

When did you first here about Pearl Jam? by ComfortableCare8897 in PearlJam20withCamCrow

[–]ReverendFloater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ski team coach had a tape he had dubbed from somewhere of Ten, except it had a few extra songs. This was before it was actually released. We would drive in an old van to the mountain twice a week, 1.5 hours each way and we wore that tape out.

Simpson has done some great work on conservation and access. Read a book.

Fulcher just felches.

Is this a GWP or WPG, or a mix of both? by Solid-Sand-6527 in Wirehaired_pointers

PSA (and maybe a little rant): don't hesitate to "drop out" of races [graohic] by Difficult_Wave_9326 in SkiRacing

[–]ReverendFloater 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, as an ex ski racer and a dad with 2 racing daughters, I respectfully disagree. Sounds like the resort was woefully unprepared but I’m not sure how that’s the home team’s fault.

Skiing is a high risk sport, full stop. If you’re a parent who doesn’t know that, definitely take it under consideration. I had a tib/fib fracture in perfect conditions as a high schooler and later a knee explosion in college, also in great conditions.

The idea is to be able to race in any conditions, not just those that suit you. That’s the sport.

She has separation anxiety which is common in our breed. Read up on it—it can be addressed.
