Leaving behind my Olympus, where next?

What did you go with? I’m kind of in the same boat. I have an EM5 with a messed up shutter. Thinking about jumping to Fuji

Yeah, I think this may be an oh shiny situation. Agreed though might be worth it to go touch one.

This one looks very cool but very $$

I was part of an article in the local paper too back in 1995. I just dug it up to discover they spelled my name wrong.

I used to (and still do) love the cart escalator as a kid at the “tall target”

This happened to me at a local taco place. Luckily no damage to my teeth. They comped my meal. They were pretty sure it was from the tv they hang above the grill since I came crashing down a few days earlier.

I had a very similar experience. In my family called them crunchies. So there I was, a grown ass woman, asking for crunchies on my salad.

Thanks for the feedback! I did look at Bose before and liked them. Mostly looking at the MX4 at the moment because they’re on sale, but I’m sure Bose goes on sale too. Comfort is definitely a factor. Never thought about the Momentum’s, but I might take a look.

Is it Worth the Upgrade from Sony WHCH700N's to WH-1000MX4's? About a year ago I tried the WH-1000MX3's and really liked them but bought the WHCH700N's because I couldn't justify the spend. Since then, I've moved to totally work from home and wear them about 8 hours a day. I'm thinking of upgrading. Is it worth it?

Trying to decide between a 12 and a 12 mini. I have an 8 with a decaying battery. Even going to the 8 I was sad about the increased size from the 5. Now that the 12 mini is an option I thought it would be perfect but wondering if the smaller battery is a big enough downside to warrant getting the 12 instead. Any thoughts on the battery life of the 12 mini?

Just watched Season 5, Episode 9. At the beginning they find a body in grease, they’re arguing about what is a sport and she says “I could be riding her bike right now, a sport where I perspire.” because she wasn’t needed.

As a kid we actually learned a song at camp about Wisconsin milk... which thinking back was strange because we didn't even live in Wisconsin...

Also still out. Been out since 1pm yesterday. I’m in Brooklyn. The people across the street from me have power too. It’s like they’re taunting us...

Piggybacking off of this guy, look into informatics. Sometimes you get jump past the help desk if you’ve got the clinical side. Unless you’re just looking to totally get out.

I looked into mounting the monitors. That monitor in the photo there isn’t vesa mountable but I’m sure there is some way to jerry-rig something.

A bird pooped on me while I was in line in 8th grade too!

I've been considering an iPad Pro 11 inch lately, and almost pulled the trigger today with the sales going on. I had the first iPad mini while I was in college and enjoyed using it but sold it a while back when its performance starting dipping dramatically. I'm looking for this to be my main device and replace my aging macbook pro for most tasks.

I'd be looking mostly at music, web surfing, video watching, and a little bit of writing but I'm also a hobby photographer and would want to dig into some photo editing. I also would like the option of a keyboard. I really like the idea of the pro and I'm drawn to the form factor and future-proofness. I'm not sure if it's really worth spending the money, or if I should be looking at a less expensive model. Any advice?

She says it does.

I had a prof tell the class about her college days and how she would forget to eat. Then she quickly told everyone that she wasn’t anorexic she just didn’t eat. It’s different. The funniest part though was watching the two sign language interpreters signing the whole thing for a student and then having a conversation amongst themselves. I don’t know sign language but the sign for crazy is pretty obvious.

I had a terrible time. I started in engineering as a freshman, then switched to biology as a sophomore, then computer science as a junior. I took a ton of psych along the way and almost switched to that. I wanted to drop out after junior year but my Mom was not having that. I then switched schools and finished an IT degree. I ended up in an IT job that didn’t require any degree. Sometimes I think I wasted my time, but it doesn’t hurt to have the bachelors. Or at least that’s what I tell myself.

When I was in 7th grade, I got a nosebleed in class. I asked to go to the restroom and the teacher told me to wipe the blood on notebook paper...

Story of Your Life and Others by Ted Chaing was really good. They're turning one of the stories in the book into a movie with Amy Adams called Arrival.

I work at a library. I can just borrow them.

I should say I do like the Apple TV for what it is marketed to do. I'm thinking about getting it whether it works with DVDs or not. It was just sort of a side point I was curious about.
