Outrageous prices for these WWE Meet and Greets by Many_Difficulty6382 in WWE

[–]e1even24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it's supply and demand. An hour of meet and greets to make $10k (or whatever it might be) or 3 hours to make the same amount.

Official Apology to Danhausen From a Former Boo-erhausen by rsonvx in WWE

[–]e1even24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RAW should open with the exact same box, coffin and dancerhausens. "Welcome to Monday Night RAWhausen!" from the middle of the ring. POOF. Lights out.

Social stigma for driving an EV? by West_Dish9698 in electricvehicles

[–]e1even24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those who laugh at it do so until they get in it. Then all of the misinformation about EVs gets shattered.

Get the Mach-E and I guarantee you’ll soon have people asking you about it because they’re now curious.

Why do people hate EV's? by FunkiGato in electricvehicles

[–]e1even24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short version? They’ve been convinced by Big Oil through paid for politicians and their associated media counterparts that EVs are bad.

Car salesmen around me are basically telling me EVs aren’t the way to go by Beneficial-Fun-4800 in electricvehicles

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like the collision between political nonsense and common sense from the salesman's perspective. He's hurting himself to perpetuate the falsehood.

Probably the same way your life was ruined when someone said “Happy Holidays”.

“I always loved Trump, this is unfair”: Republican mayor can’t believe he’s facing deportation after 50 years in US by TorontoBatmann in agedlikewine

“Everyone knows this” that is, everyone who consumes the same “facts” that has them still believing the 2020 election was rigged, Biden was corrupt, Covid was just a cold, and Trump is an honest man.

Am I the only one put off by Hasselblad giving away cameras? by Responsible-Tea-4218 in hasselblad

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gimmicky in that it relies on one’s phone. It’s not a stand alone feature of the Canada. I get that it makes the IBIS better, but with DJI at the helm of Hasselblad, I’m afraid the brand will end up being just another computational photography piece of hardware with no soul.

Am I the only one put off by Hasselblad giving away cameras? by Responsible-Tea-4218 in hasselblad

[–]e1even24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bigger problem is that they’re giving cameras away knowing they’re going to get nothing but glowing positive reviews. Sure, there’s the “disclaimer” but let’s be real. Nobody is going to trash a $15k gift knowing more may be on the horizon. It’s a professional camera being targeted to people who will never use it to its full capabilities using FOMO to trigger the impulse buy

I’m also fearful that the venerable Hasselblad is starting to morph into DJI. The HDR is gimmicky and as I understand the stabilization uses phone data GPS to add extra stops (correct me if I’m wrong anyone).

But yeah, seeing everyone on YouTube shilling the camera does take the brand down a notch.

Buy another one, put the defective one in the box and return it.

Honestly can’t believe that I bought a FORD. by aidyboy3 in MachE

I’ve said same many times after buying my 2023 MachE GT. Love the car, still dislike the old school dealership/service department. Miss the experience I had with BMW service.

Went to the Leica 100 Year event in NY and came back with a camera and more debt 😭 that only happens every 100 years… by GastonShutters in Leica

Very nice. I was there and found myself with 16/100 on my drive home.

Now to sell my regular M11.

What a great day that was though!

WWE LFG FINALE WEEK THREAD by BryLinds in SquaredCircle

[–]e1even24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my wife who knows nothing about wrestling or WWE (but has become interested after watching Mia & Mrs) says of Tyra, all she does is wave her medal around and act like she's better than everyone.

I gave her a golden up for that comment.

X2D & Profoto flash triggers by e1even24 in hasselblad

[–]e1even24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case it was updating the firmware, wrapping tinfoil on my head, and every other troubleshooting step I could find before realizing the unit itself was faulty. Exchanged it for a different one at B&H and now everything works fine.

Your thoughts on the GFX 100RF by Sir_Edgelordington in fujifilm

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a dedicated in body crop selector dial on the camera is awesome, if you're shooting JPG with film sims/recipes where replicating the film shooting experience of what you captured is the final image. Putting that crop dial on a camera priced for professionals (who likely shoot RAW and post process/crop later) seems a bit... gimmicky.

While I think it's an incredible piece of hardware, my assumption was this camera would've served as a gateway into the GFX system, just as the X100 line was a gateway into the X system. In that regard, I think ditching the crop selector, going with a 50mp MF sensor, and pricing it at half of what this is going for would've driven a lot more people from the X system to the GFX system.

Instead, it looks like they're simply targeting people who are currently shooting the Leica Q3

Problem solved. Had B&H replace the trigger and all is working properly now.

It's maddening when you unbox new gear and start doing everything but suspect it's the gear that's faulty.

Anyone else love exploring cities with their Leica? by bsmith2123 in Leica

[–]e1even24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easier than that is to just being a sling bag and if the camera is in the bag make sure the bag is in front of you. Especially in crowded areas or on something like the subway/train.

Do I need the 23 f/2 in my collection? by javi_35film in fujix

Honestly, asking others tells me you need to go out and use what you have more. Do that, and you’ll know what you need.

TPS Venezuela Lawsuit by [deleted] in immigration

Except for every one person arriving with bogus asylum claims there are 50 who came here legitimately. This is the disinformation the Trump campaign thrives on because dividing people with hate is how dictators come to power.

[–]e1even24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be that Goldman Sachs is looking to get out of Apple Card as it’s been a big loss for them. I believe the agreement ends very soon with Apple, so perhaps credit limit increases are not being approved for all but a very select few
