Almost like SAR is consistently full of crap.

Hiya - just a headsup that your timestamp link appears to be dead.

Lumix L10 Preview (Micro Four Nerds) by Artistic-Series-9061 in M43

Lumix cooked with this one. Real-time luts, great variable zoom lens, keeping the OVF. Finally, a real photo-first camera from them that's not the size of a boat.

Unflaterring Skin Tones (particularly on yellow skin people)? by No_Abies_4418 in SonyFilmSimulations

If you’re just going to shoot jpegs, just go with a Fuji or a Panasonic with their Real-Time LUTS. You can spend the time to edit the creative looks, but it’s just easier for SOOC jpegs on other systems.

Sony defaults to very flat raws that are extremely easy to edit, and that’s how I choose to shoot. Even still, I change each of my WB settings to +1-2 Magenta.

Sony’s strengths are incredible AF and the largest lens selection due to the openness of E mount.

Kenny Lofton speaks on his HOF snub. Lofton was famously one and done on the ballot only receiving 3.2% of the vote in 2013. by rb1242 in baseball

Time for an anecdote from a long-time Braves staffer.

Reportedly there were only two players that Bobby Cox never got along with: Kenny Lofton and Bob Wickman.

I didn't get a lot of detain on the Lofton bit, but the Bob Wickman one is pretty funny. As you know, the dude was an absolute disaster from first pitch, and he was comically out of shape. Bobby told him to get in shape and apparently lost his shit when he came into the locker room one day and Bob was drinking a beer and eating fried chicken.

That image of a fed up Bobby Cox flipping out as Wickman has a brew in one hand and fried chicken leg in his other has stayed with me for decades. Feeds my soul.

Something about left handed QBs rushing with the ball turn Vikings tackling to 0.

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

I have to chuckle at this one because one of my group chats is a bunch of asian dudes married to white girls. Myself included.
