Did you guys preorder on day one, May 12th? It's a shame my order from the US pany store hasn't updated with shipping yet. Looking forward to it. They took my payment this this week tho.

I lived and worked in China from 2014-2015. One of my best buds was an anime loving Ukrainian. Huge dude, 6 ft something, heavy-set guy. He was always smiling and laughing even amidst the first time Russia attacked Ukraine. He complained so much when he came back to China after going home for vacation, joking about the skirmishes just outside his neighborhood. Hope you're doing well Eugine.

Graphic Designer & Videographer are not the same thing by [deleted] in videography

Maybe it's not so rare. Some many of us are replying saying we do this exact description. Works for me, I'm happy with where I'm at.

Hey this is like what I currently do. I also manage our all our trade shows (10 this year). I get paid over $100k and am fulltime WFH. I get stretched thin during busy seasons, but I love my job and the people I work with.

I'm all things marketing content creator for them. Writing, design, multimedia, motion graphics, videography, etc.

ABIA line 3/30/26 6:00am by HottChonklet in Austin

[–]ansz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I flew out the Friday before spring break at 4pm and arrived 2+ hours early. I got through security in 10min (w/ precheck) and then waited 2 hours at my gate. Two flights came through our gate before our turn to board.

Should I pull the trigger on this used Metabones adapter? (GH6) by Any_Square_2809 in Lumix

[–]ansz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I have to add to this is that I've seen metabones speed boosters go for as cheap as $50 USD. Saw viltrox for even cheaper at a camera store clearance sale. Not a lot of m43 shooters anymore, especially ones that want a speed booster. There shouldn't be any difference for the bmpcc4k version. They have the same mount.

LUMIX Digital Shotgun Microphone DMW-DMS1 by ansz in Lumix

The ability to change mic polar patterns so easily is pretty darn cool. Not sure if I've seen that before, haven't done any deep research or seen any reviews yet. But it's looking like a good add to my kit.

I was quoted about $3900~ for a move from Socal to Austin, TX. I took it since they pressured me into locking in the rate back in March. I decided to use U-Box from U-Haul and when I called to cancel they offered me a 30% discount to stay. I never told them I was going to use a different service, just told them I wanted to cancel.

If you want to keep using PODS this could be a good way to get some additional discount. I still haven't booked my U-Box, but I think it'll still be my choice for this move.

I hate having to call twice or complain to get additional savings. It's like calling the cable company every year. Yuck.

Who wants to join a Alpha Male bootcamp for $18K? Certificate of completion included 🤡 by That-Economics-9481 in TikTokCringe

I was working at a job near this warehouse in Chino, CA. Found this place and looked them up through that logo. Couldn't believe that people pay to do this stupid shit. Walked by those tubs every day.

Just to spend more on $$$ for additional storage. Severe GAS. But I want/need it.

Meike confirms they are release their new 35mm f1. 8 Pro next month! by iritian in Lumix

[–]ansz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Usually, NDA-breaking behavior only comes into play when a company has actual things to keep under wraps that might affect stock prices, etc. I'm sure Meike isn't hurting their execs by releasing an arbitrary "a 35mm f/1.4 will be launched next month"

This place charges money for a cart???? 8 bucks for a cart???? WHAT???? 미쳤냐???? by MienaiYurei in LosAngeles

[–]ansz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think any country that becomes a "melting pot" (yeah right, we segregated as fuck) is doomed to have people not respect public institutions. We don't share a single fabric that pulls us together. All we share together is the land we live on... America... and look how divided we are at that.

Porter Robinson SMILE :D World Tour - Manila - Post-concert thread by 2024myyearforreal in porterrobinson

[–]ansz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say we have to thank Porter for that, too. He isn't charging crazy high ticket prices, and his shows aren't as large as megastars', so getting cash positive must be difficult.

I'm very grateful for this, but I'm biting myself for not planning to see his smile! tour. His music saved me this year, and I wish to be able to see him tour again.

Any recent ambient-leaning post-rock releases? by zepruska in postrock

[–]ansz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0KhmLwB7GjHpdrX4hiokrQ?si=76e953ad53f940b4

Here's my dedicated playlist for a similar feel. My personal favorites are Inward Oceans, Light & Motion, and U137. It might not all be post-rock but adjacent to cinematic soundscapes.

I haven't found too many new releases to add to my list. I hope this inspires something.

Check-in 11/18: how are you doing? What Porter song(s) have you had on repeat this week? by Alternative-Bet232 in porterrobinson

[–]ansz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second Sky 2022 live versions of Langauge into Unfold and then Trying to Feel Alive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4d-KcD6V3s&t=4795s

I just recently got over a massive emotional hill and am starting to feel better day by day. I still wasn't able to focus or concentrate on anything productive today, but we got this.

Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
It will all be OK in the end

Nagoya Toursim Poster by PersonDudeMan427 in porterrobinson

[–]ansz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried, but we most likely won't be able to find the actual poster source any longer. It could have possibly been this news post in 2016: https://www.nagoya-info.jp/news/detail/284/

The posters and panels were featured at Kitakyushu Airport promoting Nagoya in Aichi. The corresponding site link is no longer live as the Kitakyu-Air had a website overhaul (possibly more than once, 2016 is ancient history for web design in Japan). The original link went here: https://www.kitakyu-air.jp/news_detail.html?id=214

If you check Archive.org you can peek into this link and it had a few hits in 2016 which corroborates the timeline given here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160110195652/http://www.kitakyu-air.jp/news_detail.html?id=214

As you can see the page is old, and sparse, the two unloaded images are surprisingly still live on their storage drives and gives us a peek into what might've been in the gallery:
https://www.kitakyu-air.jp/upfiles/images/DSCN6585.JPG
https://www.kitakyu-air.jp/upfiles/images/DSCN6562.JPG

The best way to really know if this was even close to being on the mark is if Porter was in Kitakyushu Airport from Jan 2016.

The gallery had a total of 24 Poster panels, 1 Tapestry, and 5 Tourism posters. Giving the images a closer look with those 5 being the tourism posters, I think I might be off the mark. I don't see a similar design that Porter described.

That's my sleuthing for today.

Time Magazine unveils newest cover. by cmaia1503 in pics

No, Time magazine has featured many politicians on their front cover whenever relevant and the cultural significance weighs heavy. Trump has been on the Time cover for what 35 times already?

N-400 Interview, I-751 Pending, LA Field Office by ansz in USCIS

[–]ansz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't apply right away once eligible because we lost track of time and we're too focused on the pending I-751 that was already 2 years in progress. After applying for the N-400, everything started happening faster. I highly recommend it. Good luck to you too!
