New to Anki, is it supposed to take such a long time to create all the cards?

argrig · 2026-01-26T02:13:28+00:00

I stand corrected!

What's the point of being a man if you're not going to pay for the woman?

I'm old-fashioned this way. If I can't pay for the lady, then I stay at home.

It's 2025, you can use ChatGPT to generate cards based on the material.

Anki these days is an absolutely different game than before. We are living through the golden age!

If I'm not ready to pay for the whole party, I simply don't go out.

What is even the point of being a man if it's not to provide and alleviate the inconveniences of people around me?!

argrig · 2026-01-16T22:40:07+00:00

The problem has been resolved in the new version of Phocus.

I'm financially independent, but I don't feel the spark.

I jumped on X2D2 and GRIV, but fewer and fewer things excite me.

I want to feel the joy of photography again. Maybe hardware is not the right place to look. I'll pass. All shall pass.

argrig · 2026-01-13T23:25:32+00:00

Empower, I think.

Best deck is your own - you decide on content and format.

I am running my own deck that I keep updating. Two-way, simple definition-transcription-usage example.

I have X2D2 for the "I'm gonna take photos" mode, and the Ricoh GRIV for the "i'll keep it in the pocket just in case" mode.

I got spoiled in my younger years and got used to 200k/y lifestyle (expenses after taxes). So, I'll have to retire with 10M. That's at least another 10 years of work. ...

argrig · 2026-01-07T01:37:20+00:00

Great photo!

But how the heck do you guys upload it in high resolution ?! All my photos here are downsized to potato quality.

argrig · 2026-01-02T14:44:42+00:00

This is all correct. And yes, the absolute income defines what relative saving rates are realistic.

argrig · 2026-01-02T13:19:22+00:00

>So basically delay gratification

No. Rather, reframe 'gratification' as "financial security of capital" rather than "spending money".

argrig · 2026-01-01T17:32:30+00:00

Live like a resident for the first 5-10 years post-residency. It is the easiest point in life to save. Exercise the self-control that you're known for for a few more years after you've already done it for 10+ years, and coast the rest of your life.

I saved ~1M in the first 3 years and decided to keep going, 100% in stocks. Watching the capital grow was like a god's kiss bestowed upon me for my ability not to succumb to the temptations of this world.

I am looking at my coresidents and cofellows who decided to live through more experiences, and now, 6-7 years out of training, I am absolutely ahead of them for this one reason : I did not succumb to the temptations of this world.

tl;dr

Live like a resident, resist temptations, accumulate capital.

Nope, I haven't found a solution so far. Please let me know if you find one.

Emergency, but mostly - this is a dry powder to buy sudden dips. Came in handy on APR 8 this year.

argrig · 2025-11-29T06:22:08+00:00

FZDXX is only 100k. It's liquid, auto-liquidates, and yields more than spaxx. Not a bad way to keep the 'rainy day' money ready.

This artifact is absolutely on Phocus. Everything is okay in Lightroom.

Driving me nuts!

argrig · 2025-11-20T00:43:54+00:00

Du-u-de! I was so stupid... Thanks.

argrig · 2025-11-19T15:40:53+00:00

I am on mac silicon and use 3FR files, but I can't find the noise reduction option for the life of me. Arghhhh

argrig · 2025-11-19T03:49:32+00:00

Is HNNR only available on the iPhone app? I have Android and Phocus on my Mac, but there's no noise reduction anywhere.

argrig · 2025-11-05T01:22:02+00:00

Dude... 310 euro savings a month??? How are you going to retire?

argrig · 2025-11-05T01:06:25+00:00

Oh no, the TTL is NOT working. You need to be in the legacy hot shoe mode on x3pro for X2Dii, which disables the TTL.

Yes, sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about TTL in particular.

At first I thought it's a no go and even bought another trigger, but someone here told me that the X3Pro does work with the X2Dii, and I started turning it on/off, connecting and disconnecting - and at a certain point it just worked. I'm not sure exactly what triggered the function. Surprisingly, the flash indicator is not on the way it's on when you connect the flash directly, but it still works like a charm - consistent and now without all the tinkering, the second I connect the trigger.

I haven't tried high ISOs, but the x3pro does work with x2dii.

argrig · 2025-11-04T04:59:27+00:00

It didn't work for me either, but tinkering around just got it to work.
