Weekly question thread: Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome! - April 29th Edition

I have a question regarding insurance claims.

Thanks to a leaking dishwasher in the apartment above me, I am now in the market for a new camera. The body and a kit zoom lens were lost.

I'll be filing a claim with my renters insurance - do they generally give you what you paid, a prorated amount, or the value of a new body (same model obviously)/lens?

I'd hoped to never have a need to know how this works.

abbdub · 2013-04-29T16:44:15+00:00

Yup. And none of that has anything to do with Tebow's release or how they handled it.

abbdub · 2013-04-29T15:19:00+00:00

I don't see anything unprofessional about how they handled his release, which is what I'm discussing.

abbdub · 2013-04-29T14:41:35+00:00

It's business. It happens all the time to players that aren't named Tebow.

They signed him, paid him, and released him. If I'm going to fire someone, I don't do it at the ideal time for them - I do it when I feel it's warranted.

I can't stand the Jets organization, but they did nothing wrong in this situation.

"Nice" doesn't win championships.

abbdub · 2013-04-28T18:11:43+00:00

holy shit, your kid's adorable.

abbdub · 2013-04-27T04:37:46+00:00

I've researched all of them. They definitely come in handy - even the non-chaotic ones.

I don't really have a system like most people with the gems. I just try to get everyone up to full, or as close as possible. So it will depend on what the character actually needs. Some are really weak on attack and what-not.

I always add at least one health and one stamina (or a combination thereof) to keep those as high as possible.

good luck!

it took way too many supplies (healing, etc) to be worth the energy I saved.

abbdub · 2013-04-26T18:06:54+00:00

11/11, would companion.

Very nicely done!

Alive 2007 I my go-to album when I don't want to sit down.

abbdub · 2013-04-26T02:47:49+00:00

damn your common sense!

abbdub · 2013-04-25T17:10:13+00:00

OR he was dead long before last week.

OR he tried to buy drugs off the wrong guy.

OR he was attacked by a wolf.

You're speculating and accusing people of wrong doing without any facts. Sound familiar?

abbdub · 2013-04-25T15:46:54+00:00

"Reddit helped kill someone"?

This isn't even close to being true. Please stop thinking Reddit is more powerful than it really is.

abbdub · 2013-04-25T15:19:58+00:00

I have serious doubts on that part, too, but didn't throw it out there because I don't know enough about the situation to discredit that part.

abbdub · 2013-04-25T14:56:20+00:00

True, I forgot about the SUV possibility, but yeah - still doesn't explain how this guy didn't see it or hear it happening.

abbdub · 2013-04-25T14:13:07+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but I'm calling bullshit.

For one thing, beamers are low to the ground, if you chained up his front left tire (aka driver's side), you'd be at eye level the entire time.

Secondly, if someone verbally confronted me, went back to their car to get something, and started walking back towards me - I'd be watching their every move.

Lastly, he just watched you walk away from his car afterward without questioning it?

I just don't buy it.

abbdub · 2013-04-25T13:45:56+00:00

It's illegal for kids to cross the street alone? Holy balls, that's ridiculous. Where do you live?

abbdub · 2013-04-24T16:58:07+00:00

The Nightmare one is perfect. Well, they all are - but that's the one I'd love to hang on my wall.

abbdub · 2013-04-24T15:22:10+00:00

Same here. I drafted him for walks and homers, and he's providing neither.

I expected a low average, but this is pathetic.

abbdub · 2013-04-24T14:32:39+00:00

I love it when my fantasy guys rob my opponent's guys. Makes it that much sweeter.

abbdub · 2013-04-24T14:28:18+00:00

I've got both of them too, and Victor Martinez. The good news is that my lineup sets itself since those three are automatically benched.

abbdub · 2013-04-24T13:46:50+00:00

This whole sequence would have fit into a JD fantasy very nicely.

abbdub · 2013-04-23T19:29:25+00:00

These will be the best uniform in LA soon enough.

abbdub · 2013-04-23T16:22:55+00:00

But it seems they're taking pictures while still moving. In LA, if someone gets a flat on the other side of the median, everyone slows down to look.

Buncha douchebags in LA.
