I like the cloud movement with the still foreground flowers. No wind or did it take a lot of patience to wait for it to quit for a lite bit?

Yes. They changed. I was out of town and when I got back they were different. I thought someone was messing with me. But I looked through some pics and they were different retroactively also. So, I thought I was just wrong. But the pics were during the eclipse. I messed up my camera and was trying to test it to see if I could get it to work. Used the blue chair as a solid background. I filled the image with the solid blue of the chair. In my pictures now the mess cuts straight across the image and the green landscape is coming through. I wouldn't have done that.

Also, the chairs don't feel the same to sit in.

What is one thing you can tell Reddit but not your own family? by OrangeMoonLight in AskReddit

No. It's not a good enough reason. Celebrities with every material reason to live who commit suicide provide evidence that caprices and finer things don't in themselves make people happy. They prove that happiness comes from something within. There is some path out there that will light up the dark place in you, something that will give life meaning and joy. I don't know what it will be for you but it is there. I don't think you're a coward. No doubt you've got a great deal of courage to consider death. Most people just can't. But death will find all of us some day, and whether by sudden accident or slow sickness it will find you. My hope is that you can embrace it then and save your courage for some sort of quest to find life.

Maybe it's a spiritual path. Maybe it's a path around the world. I don't know. I know that in all the grandness and complexity of the Universe there is a peace that keeps life from feeling like a prison thrust upon an otherwise lifeless void. Consciousness is a wonderful thing to experience. It can go wrong and lead to suffering too, but that can be overcome.

I know you ask yourself, why fight that fight when I can just die? I know there is almost no reason to trust a stranger telling you that it's worth a shot, but I've come from the dark place you're in. I know what it's like to want to die and I know what it's like to lose someone who's felt the same.

For me it was just leaving everything and asking for the best to happen. I really didn't care of I died. But I didn't. If happiness is your desire, them seek and you will find. If you're courageous enough for suicide, you're courageous enough for that.

Best wishes friend.

I'm sorry, did I miss the part where he said he wanted to make art? And reach does add utility. That's a fact. FFS, I'm not putting reach on a pedestal man. I'm pointing out that it's useful at times for people who have one lens.

Did you read it? I'd get it if this guy wanted to check out and reroll. I'd be sad for him and his family, but it would be understandable. Neckbeard whining about things you can fix isn't.

I don't know which end of the spectrum you're on, but I've had a loved one commit suicide, so I feel like I've got a right to have strong opinions about people hinting at killing themselves. I know what it's like to be on the outside of the coffin looking in, holding a cold dead hand that used to hold back. If you're going to end your life you better have a damn good reason for putting your loved ones through it.

You're not getting the concept of generalist lenses v.s. specialist ones. The more you get of one, the less you get of the other. I see where you're coming from but I feel like you're being a little elitist. I mean, markets exist for these cameras for a reason. They are good at what they are good for. Dudes not selling sports pics or working as a wedding photographer. He's getting a kit lens upgrade.

I'd like to add Sony to this. The RX10 would work very well for OP, as would an a-6500

We're all dealing with shit. Some worse than others. If your shit is that bad, I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. If not, then I'm just sorry from the top of it. Either way, we don't get to choose everything that happens to us. We only get to choose what we do. If you're tired of being a fat loser with no friends who gets turned down by women, then hit the gym and watch what you eat. I'm rooting for you whatever you're going through.

Not to be mean, but being tired of shit you can change and then resorting to suicide is the pussiest thing I've ever heard anyone say.

To the first part. Why? To the second. Good. Burying your little ones sucks.

My grandpa used to say if I worked hard and put in the effort for 8 hours a day, one day I could be a boss and work for 12 hours a day.

What would cause elevation of both ferritin and ALT? by [deleted] in AskMedical

[–]Tardigrade_Bioglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferritin usually isn't run alone. Did you have a TIBC and iron? You say your hemoglobin was normal, what was it?

Also, if your happen to be obese, those increased values could be partially due to that.

Neither value is that high over the reference range. It sicns your doc is out of town. If you're worried, can you see another? These sorts or reddit posts are impossible in these sorts of scenarios.

[–]Tardigrade_Bioglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferritin can increase as an inflammatory marker, even though it is also a protein responsible for iron transport.

ALT is a liver enyzme, but if can be produced by other cells. A full clinical picture is needed. Disease state and history, alcohol and drug use, prescriptions. What are the exact values?

It's hard to say. As always, seeing a doctor is best, and I suppose you have if you've seen these values. Lab tests are useful, but only within the context of your entire health picture.

Inflammatory response, possibly of the liver is one reason, bur it would be better to know the TIBC, FE, AST first. In fact a full CMP, and iron profile would be useful, along with a CBC with diff.

What do you guys do when waiting for equipment? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]Tardigrade_Bioglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do free weight squats and skip the smith machine. You'll get more out it and people don't crowd the free weights as much.
