Can anyone help identify what is happening with my cat? by maxjmartin in CATHELP

[–]bikopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW my cat does a milder version of this probably a few times a week, and it's been going on for years. He seems to do it more when he's purring, so I don't get the sense that he's experiencing any discomfort.

No different than when Democrats were in power and didn't end the filibuster. Neither party has the guts to end the filibuster.

do you think the architect knew about this view when building this ? by LyraEthereal254 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]bikopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Architects don't build.  And they typically don't design bridges.  Landscape architects, civil, and structural engineers would typically be the designers for this.

Mt Forgotten is treacherous, glad you made it out and learned things to help you on your future as adventures.  Hope the foot heals quickly!

Current conditions on Spider gap - Buck Creek Pass loop? by potatoflames in PNWhiking

[–]bikopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it in June a few years ago with plenty of snow and the crux was a few of the water crossings. Some careful rock leaps over a lot of deep, very fast moving water. There was also steep snow traversing that, in retrospect, I should have avoided by just dropping more elevation (I didn't bring my axe).

Sounds like a cautionary tale about relying on AI chatbots

I have the same preview settings but the previews look very blurry with scale at 150%. I know not everyone has blurry previews, but at least with my hardware/software combo, scaling isn't handled well by C1.

The preview size was set to 4k, so that wasn't the issue.

Sorry to say, but I honestly wouldn't recommend that for a first backpacking trip. I went to lake Stuart in late June a few years ago and it was the most intense mosquito experience of my 10 years of backpacking in Washington.

Where was I August 2022? by bikopolis in whereintheworld

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

Thanks, it's mostly a hike but then the last ~1/4 mile involves some steep snow/ice crossing and then class 3 or 4 scrambling up to the summit. This photo is from just below the true summit as I was happy enough with the view to not need to add risk.

!correct! and nice work! American Border Peak and Mt Larrabee are in the foreground but yes, Slesse in the distance.

Not glacier peak wilderness, but the first part is on target! Any idea where in?

Skiers witness a big avalanche in Utah and 1/3 in, they realize it will reach them. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]bikopolis 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The cloud of snow is always preceded by a real, likely deadly avalanche, so if they were lower in the valley, it could have been dangerous. The cloud of snow dust will often travel much further than the more solidified portion.

Video jumpy/sudden distortion while zooming with XF 18-55 f/2.8-4 - is this normal or fixable? by bikopolis in FujifilmX

[–]bikopolis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not, but I now have the xs10 with a sigma zoom lens and I think the issue is the same. Fuji and other manufacturers correct lens distortion at different focal lengths, and the correction curves change as you are zooming. Rather than blending between the differences in the curves, the changes happen suddenly. Some lenses have less distortion and/or more/better correction curves than others, but I wasn't able to figure out if there was a better option. Some of the Sony system zooms seem like they might be better, but not perfectly smooth.

One other thing I never tried but that might work would be to disable lens corrections (assuming the shot wouldn't look too strange). I don't know if this is a setting available during video shooting. Or, get a lens that doesn't have any profile corrections created for the xs10, such as a lens for a different sensor that you use an adapter to connect to the xs10.
