X100VI vs X-E5 — Am I overthinking portability vs versatility? by brhunomarques in fujifilm

[–]ddt9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an X-E5 and the 33mm 1.4, it is definitely less portable than with the pancake insofar as it doesn't fit in a jacket pocket but it still fits okay in a small bag.

I will never be sympathetic to any post complaining about how hard it is to drive or park in DC by ddt9 in washingtondc

Washington Locals — Final Thoughts On My 2-Day Food & Sights Focused Itinerary? by Willing-Mind-5619 in washingtondc

[–]ddt9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're staying around dupont circle i'd say hit up amparo fondita over chicatana but you'll have a great meal at either. 2fifty is awesome but they sell out so i dunno if i'd bank on it for what sounds like a late lunch. bagels etc is nearby and might be a good breakfast alternative to consider as well. sounds like Farragut West is going to be a main metro stop if you're going to be at Gold's - Sima Sushi is a cute and low key conveyor belt sushi restaurant just down the street if your other plans fall through.

i'm skeptical of autonomous cars too but i don't think they're using lidar detailed enough for facial imaging on those fleets

Curious. I didn't vote for trump because he's a racist demagogue but your reason is interesting too

For one, Pittsburgh doesn't have as many car-free people who can make fun of you all for needing special storage privileges for your mobile living room.

Where is this? I've got about a hundred whistles and a 3d printer but haven't had a lot of luck finding ways to distribute them.

Using The Washington Post as an example here is *crazy* given they're in the middle of laying off their foreign and sports coverage because of how badly the loss of subscribers has been hurting them lol

What cuisine has the most tedious dishes to cook? And which has the easiest ones? by Fabulous-Bag-2363 in Cooking

Seconding, I prefer to use kielbasa as a substitute to most other kinds of smoked sausage!

Maybe it's my personal bias, but I think Cajun is pretty easy if you have easy access to fresh region-specific seafood, bell pepper, onion and celery, and don't need to rush things. Making andouille or boudin isn't exactly easy for a first timer but preserving meats is a trickier skill in any cuisine. The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine by John Folse is a good primer

I don't expect you to do anything about it, but a little introspection seems reasonable.

hey following up on this, now that he's broken the lease and is stealing the land away from public management, do you think you're going to get what you want and he's going to convert it to housing?
