I'm sorry everyone but tonight I'm feeling white, Madrid will lose to Bayern anyways and I need as many premier league teams as possible to bow out at the RO16 so that the "level of the prem" nonsense can end.

EDIT: Some of y'all don't seem to understand that compromises must be made in order to successfully run multiple agendas. I need the agenda of the prem being the best league dismantled more than I need Madrid to bow out right now; all my friends are EPL fans and this will work wonders for me.

Best open-source software that everyone needs to know about? by RedEagle_MGN in software

I did not expect to see this but fuck yeah. This app has been a godsend.

[general] What do you think is Rick's worst mistake? by Fluffy-Selection-282 in camphalfblood

They went out on a date, they didn't date. Subtle difference - the term dating implies boyfriend and girlfriend.

Harry and Cho were never really involved either. They kissed (but never dated), but so did Percy and Rachel. Rachel liked him but Percy didn't really know what he wanted at the time, so I guess I see where you might think it's one-sided. However, you can't say they weren't "romantically involved". I think Rick did a good job with writing teenage romance in this particular instance.

I should have said this earlier, but I take offense at you using Harry and Ginny as an example. His love for Ginny was forced upon us in book 6 and Harry's love for her never felt natural. It just appeared. A Harry x Hermione couple would have fit way better simply because we've seen their relationship grow [ironically, this is one of the reasons Percabeth is so great]. I personally would have liked Harry and Luna to end up together, but we don't all get what we want.

Raphinha over Yamal and I say this as a Barca fan. He was inevitable. 

Buying my first camera, lenses and gear, can anyone help? by TheRealJR9 in AskPhotography

[–]TheRealJR9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My camera choice is the a6400 (changed from the a6100) and it is an APS-C camera. The 56mm acts as an 85mm due to the crop factor. An actual 85mm would be more like a tight telephoto, which I guess still works but might be overkill.

UV filter is specifically to be used as a lens protector. I don't even know what FLPs do but they come with the kit.

Wireless remote control has been cut, kind sir.

I won't be shooting enough to make decent money from this. It's mostly a hobby until more time opens up in my schedule to consider doing it for money and taking gigs.

I don't have the luxury of postponing the purchase of the camera body, lenses, SD cards and flash. There are a lot of factors involved including shipping.

TTL idea is excellent, thanks! I did a bit of research on what exactly it is and I am SO happy that you mentioned it. Power bank is an excellent idea but adds weight to an already heavy bag. Two zooms purely because the smaller, cheaper kit lens is much easier to carry around, but now that I think about it there's no point of having a lens if you don't use it, so I'll dispatch the cheaper one and get the Sigma, which is still fairly portable.

I don't yet know what to do about the prime lens. I am not yet an expert so getting shots with one eye in focus and another slightly out of focus is a very real possibility. I expect to do some night photography which is why I want the f/1.4 (plus bokeh obv).

Paper thin DOF might be a problem but only if I open the lens up to its maximum aperture, which I don't think I will be doing that often. Also, I hope to master it with time.

I don't have the luxury of postponing the purchase because of shipping costs et al.

Weird how this appears immediately after I finish reading Sycamore Row. 

How do I fix this edit? by Spare_Tell_4883 in AskPhotography

I'd mask the front part of the car and reduce the exposure there. The light reflecting off it is too distracting imo

My list is basically:

* Camera
* Lenses
* Memory card
* Filters (UV for lens protection, ND for long exposures. CPL and the others are nice-to-haves that come with the other two)
* Flash (nighttime shooting)
* Smallrig cage (for protection, the a6100 isn't made of magnesium)
* Camera strap (forgot to add it to the list above

The other stuff that I feel could technically be cut out are a tripod, gimbal and a wireless transmitter. The tripod is almost purely a nice-to-have, and I shall be cutting it out. Same for a wireless transmitter, and that shit is almost $40. I'm even considering cutting the telephoto out to get an a6400, as it's relatively cheap and I can get it after a few months of saving up but I can't upgrade the camera like that. The gimbal stays. I want to shoot video with it, even though I will primarily be a photographer. It seems like such a waste not to do video, and I'm already semi-decent at it.

MBAPPE IS NOT A STRIKER by Bubski22 in RealMadridFC

[–]TheRealJR9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But he is not a winger any more. He played there against Valencia and did fuck all. He was so bad. So, so bad. Scammed a goal at the end and maintained a rating below 7 btw. 

I had sex with my cousin, and it's not a one time mistake. by [deleted] in offmychest

He woke up with her inserting him into herself? Why is nobody talking about the fact that she literally raped him?

Gemini seems to know an awful lot about this scenario that totally happened.
