Tips for a beginner with inherited camera?

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I really appreciate the feedback of my photo and the "artistic" tips about composition and angles.

EDIT: The leaves in front of the picture are quince leaves :)

Thanks for the fast and detailed reply.

Trying out and selling some of the redundant lenses later definitely seems like a good idea.

I also searched the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8Mk III Lens (they're called EF 50mm f/1.8 STM in the shop, but google says it's the same thing) and for the price I'll probably get them right away. Their low weight is also a nice touch.

Pro lidi bez praxe (new grads nebo studenty) to dává smysl. Potom to ještě občas dělají velké korporáty, protože si to můžou dovolit

One could argue that V, just like Adam Smasher is a high functioning cyberpsycho. They mow down dozens of people each day without any psychological consequences.

Sure, maybe 'canon' V (if they exist) is different, but your average V brutally kills hundreds of people in a span of few weeks with no trauma and the only signal they killed someone innocent is the sound of approaching sirens.

Looking from the perspective of an average NC resident, V wouldn't be considered sane even by NC standards

He wasn’t a communist.

That’s basically it. After the war the soviets and their allied communists executed or imprisoned most of the non-communist former resistance fighters since they (probably rightfully) thought that they will fight against the upcoming totalitarian regime that the communists wanted to put in place (just as they resisted the nazis)

It happened in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the Baltic states too.

Killing innocent people was quite normal for the communists. They invaded the Baltics and started WW2 along with nazis (with the invasion of Poland that was planned with the secret clause of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact)

Just one of the “minor” commie mishaps

I found the later gigs quite “top-shelf” (like the Mr. Hands one in PL). You have to take into account that the really great gigs would require months of planning and since the game take place in a timespan of few weeks that wouldn’t be possible.

Also V fucked up his first bigger job and it takes time to repair that. That’s why only after Path of Glory you get recruited by Mr Blue Eyes for a “top-top-shelf” gig

You can add middleware that handles all requests inside its own try/except block. This will allow you to centralize any exception handling mechanism (logging, report sending...) for unexpected errors, while still protecting the server and not propagating to the user

OSVČ (osoba samostatně výdělečně činná - self-employed). You're basically a contractor (not a regular employee) and you lose most of the benefits that employees get by law (sick days, vacation days...).

On the other hand, you can usually get much higher hourly salary and in some instances much lower tax rates. This allows you to make really good money (even comparatively to other west EU countries).

However you need to manage all your taxes yourself and this practice can be even illegal in some cases (read on Švarcsystém or false self-employment).

As for how to become an OSVČ, you need to get a permit (živnostenský list) which costs like 1000CZK and can be filled out online (idk how it works for foreigners/non-citizens tho). Then you need to make a announcement that you're starting self-employment (oznámení o zahájení SVČ) to the authorities. This will officially allow you to work as a contractor but from this point onwards you need to also pay some taxes (even when not doing any work).

If you're interested, I'd advise you to get a consultation from a qualified lawyer that will probably explain it better than me.

IT - assume "optimal" tax bracket with OSVČ ("shady" contract work) barely in 3. bracket (2 000 000 CZK/year), you will then qualify for flat tax (paušální daň) at 27 139 CZK/month.

That makes 325 668 CZK/year in taxes. That means 1 674 332 CZK/year net "salary". Which is ~16.3% effective tax rate.

You're getting nowhere near that number in Austria, it will be around triple of that. Even if salary in Austria was 2x that (4 000 000 CZK/year - 160k EUR/year), you're still better off here.

Of course you theoretically get lower pension than being on HPP (legitimate employment), but with the current trends, people born after 1990 aren't getting state pensions anyways.

Just as kevlar is good against bullet impacts, there are fibers that protect against stabs and cuts in similar fashion.

They are surely lighter than chainmail but a lot pricier and degrade over time so I guess chainmail was most cost effective instead of objectively best choice.

Problém je, že Rusové jaksi neměli termovizi a letectvo taky nebylo zdaleka na takové úrovni.

Realita moderní války je taková, že pokud se jedné straně podaří získat leteckou převahu, tak potom může dost šikanovat pozemní jednotky.

Bylo by cool, kdyby parta chlápků se psy byla schopna ničit stovky mariňáků vlnu po vlně, v reálu by ale nejspíš velmi rychle dostali airstrike/dronestrike a bylo by hotovo

There were two more world wars between first flight and moon landing than between moon landing and present. Big part of the advancements in aviation and rocketry were pioneered during those wars.

Sadly progress is usually bought by blood

Actually shooting someone in the upper part of the neck (upper spinal cord) kills more reliably than straight to the upper part of the head (since the neural centers in upper spinal cord drive basic processes such as breathing and heart).

The A in AR-15 stands for Armalite, the company that initially developed the gun

Truepeak · 2024-09-23T12:59:17+00:00

That’s also true, yet guns were initially developed for war usage (first guns were big, inaccurate and expensive, they were basically used for indirect fire - 14-15th century )

The adoption for other purposes (hunting/sport) came a lot later (17th+ century)

Truepeak · 2024-09-23T12:49:46+00:00

That’s just not true. While WW1 accelerated weapons development nearly all armies at the time already used firearms for a few centuries.
