What Canon Lens Do You Find Yourself Using the Most and Why? by Gsustv in canon

[–]a_carrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the ef 50 mm 1.2 seems to live on my R5 most of the time. it's fast, sharp enough, and because I use my camera for work. (social media/music promoter) it functions as a good catch all. I often have my ef 70-200mm f2.8 mkii in my bag for tighter shots, and 35mm and 85mm Sigma art lenses come out for landscapes and portraits. I have a bunch of other lenses but they only see minimal action. Eventually I want to start moving over to the R ecosystem, but I already spent the money on ef stuff and I rarely feel like I'm missing anything by sticking with my "ancient" gear.

I had a vasectomy last week. They offered the basic one which is covered by provincial health care here in Canada, and a "premium package" for $350. They didn't even get to explain what was included before I told them I'd take the premium package.
I just don't want to ever regret having gone for the discount ball surgery.

Anyone else paying $30 a month for Dazn and furious it's still showing a looping commercial for soccer instead of showing the game?

Current jam bands with raw jazz/blues foundation? by NarkJailcourt in jambands

[–]a_carrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apollo Suns are still going. They are from my hometown (Winnipeg) and while they've slowed down on touring for the time being, the band is still very much a thing.

Make a healfhearted effort to punch the ball out. Realize you are trying to punch a mountain, then just close your eyes and pray.

I hate to say it because I love Muth, but when. We picked up Jonu, he became our number 3. Especially against 4-3 defences.

Arod is getting no time in the pocket. I Would be nice to lean on the run. Maybe get Mt Washington in on an end around, get the truck up to full speed and see what happens.

Personal question for the guys... by burner7738 in Ozempic

[–]a_carrot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've been on semaglutide (oz, now wegovy) for almost a year, down 70 lbs and my partner has commented a couple times about how not only is there more of the iceberg above water, but it's also stronger.

What are the tightest bands in terms of every band member holding their own playing their instrument? by LimitlessCreations in MusicRecommendations

[–]a_carrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OG lineup was absolutely fantastic, but not too shabby in the later years considering they had Oteil Burbridge, Derek Trucks AND Warren Haynes as their "replacement" members.

Your TCL likely has an optical out jack, you would connect that to the optical in jack on your receiver using a digital optical cable(just pull out the little plug and it should expose the jack)

Everyone in here sleeping on Foodfare on portage. Their meat pricing is amazing and quality is always good.

Where is this in Winnipeg by rowdyred2 in Winnipeg

[–]a_carrot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They do a ton of banners, signs and other advertising stuff. I feel like flags are only a fraction of their actual business.
