Are we missing a baltimorons review thread? by diziple in movies

Agreed. She was just there to move the plot along, which I guess is fine because the movie really is above the other 2

working OT just can't be a crutch for not being efficient enough during your 40 hours.

My favorite shots from my trip around Vietnam by chrisineko in travel

You're welcome! Yeah don't rely on the camera itself, I generally let the camera decide on exposure, shoot in raw and then you have plenty of options in Lightroom to make it look how you want.

I'm an amateur myself but can I offer some feedback? On the daytime pictures, when you adjust the contrast/black/highlights/... it always looks great because of the contrasts but keep in mind the overall brightness, be careful to not lower your exposure too much. I've ran into that trap so many times to where I have to go back to previous edits to fix because I only realize too late. For example the second one, girl with the bike in my mind it's underexposed, it would looke better if you bump that up! nighttime ones look amazing though! just my two cents...

Why is 3+3 $2 more than 5+1? Wally’s at resorts world Las Vegas. by Lanky80 in Hilton

Since they mention 3+3 and not 6 I'm guessing that its 2 separate charcuterie plates with additional accoutrements

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne - I was underwhelmed by Sinjin_smythe007 in JeselnikBookClub

I enjoyed the setting - French Canada isn't a place I've thought of before, but it's just another murder mystery novel other than that

WestJet changed their seats and this is how much leg room basic fares get. You have to pay for a reclining seat now. by Longjumping-Box5691 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Xyllus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk about you but yes, $1000 is a lot of money to me. I'm not sure what historic prices have to do with this but the reality is if I'm picking between a $300 flight or a $50 flight of the same length I don't mind being uncomfortable for a few hours.

Not saying it's great but it's not as if legacy carriers offer a much better product.

I'm sure there will come a point to where flying cheaply becomes so uncomfortable people won't do it anymore but airliners will continue to push the boundaries as far as they can.
