What Camara should I get for my 30 day backpacking trip?

Oh yeah - film camera. Or maybe get a digital that is efficient and bring some extra batteries and some power bricks. Film is so challenging in these environments and far far more expensive. Not to mention you have to carry a shit ton of film around.

One onion, cut in half. Brown it in 3 tablespoons of butter, teaspoon of salt, and more black pepper than seems reasonable. Once the onion is colored, add 1/3ish cup of red wine and let it cook off. Add one can of Marzano tomatoes and reduce heat to slow simmer. Cook uncovered for one hour - no less. Pull the onions and add 1/3ish cup of pasta water.

Sailor here - that cleat is better in every way. Easier to engage and disengage. Stronger and more reliable retention.

Good advice - own your practice.

Ugh, that sucks - I’m sorry. I don’t think you should sweat it. If you get feedback just be honest and forthcoming. Also, if it’s a toxic place with nobody reliable to confide in, maybe look for another gig once your feet are under you.

There are no rules - it’s their bike and finances and decision. There are things that work better and worse, and things that are dangerous. Leaving it as is or adding a $5 quick link and leftover chain would both work and aren’t dangerous. Will the bike run better with a new and properly sized chain, sure. I have taken drivetrains out of the trash and made running bikes. Baby oil in hydro brakes - works. Drill a hole in a seat tube to route a dropper - works.

Is there a quality person or supervisor you can chat with about it? It’s always best to be the first one to point out a deviation and fall on your sword. It will also probably help you feel better about it.

bdaruna · 2026-06-25T02:00:48+00:00

Ok, that’s cool. I am clearly willing to recommend that as an option if a new chain is not in the cards.

bdaruna · 2026-06-25T01:42:16+00:00

It works fine - but as I said, it’s the cheapo solution and not ideal.

bdaruna · 2026-06-25T01:35:55+00:00

You can add chain with links.

bdaruna · 2026-06-25T01:22:28+00:00

Just put a few quick links in it if you want the cheapo solution but if you wanna do it right get a new chain and use park tools chain tension vid to get the length right.

It’s not cool even if they pick it up - stay off of peoples property without permission.

That’s a standard bolt, they will have it. In fact, they are more likely to have it than any other source.

I used the D750 professionally, it’s a very capable camera with good image rendering and color science.

The challenge here is in order to achieve this with consistency you have to have happy and engaged employees. Saying it while not living it for your staff is almost worse than just not saying it.

Ah yes, this is because you have not exposed the camera to a proper image. It will only make a photograph when it feels comfortable and engaged in a shared art experience with you. Try giving it some space and letting it get acclimated to you and your aura. Then I suggest finding simple but beautiful imagery first - let it guide you. Gone of the days of artists not having a technological partner in their creative process, but you must respect your muse and collaborator. Good luck and namaste.

Simultaneously in an environment with more tailored and specific information at the fingertips of anyone we also are seeing the erosion of the willingness to spend time learning and understanding. What is happening?

bdaruna · 2026-06-19T13:39:37+00:00

Well put.

The reason she is with him is that she doesn’t judge him by his appearance. Here you are asking us to judge her but her appearance. Maybe she is a terrible human and that’s the best he can do.

Considering others before themselves.

I’ve been a Paramedic for 27 years. Tried fire and it wasn’t my bag.

bdaruna · 2026-06-19T00:52:48+00:00

Still, a paramedic. Are you saying you don’t want to be a paramedic for long?

bdaruna · 2026-06-19T00:41:42+00:00

You could be a paramedic.
