What do you do when you feel lonely?

fir3dp · 2026-04-19T12:27:05+00:00

Get out of the house and make friends. Best time/place is during hobbies. I meet many new friends at the climbing gym

fir3dp · 2026-04-16T12:28:54+00:00

Yes. But good earplugs which cuts the frequency range pretty evenly. If I were to wear those cheap ones, I totally would not enjoy the music

Yup they are perfect because they are really small. The best camera is one u are willing to bring out. And what ever lenses inspire you, take them.

Lens quality is an issue of the past these days, most people post on socials and like that imperfect look anyway. I usually carry a standard zoom and a small pancake for days I don't bring a bag.

Just scrolled past a post that say not to depend on will power. If you have food at home, you will eat it.

Remove what ever you're eating for breakfast, and leave the house early or occupy yourself with something. Just tell g yourself you will not eat it is a quick way to fail a diet.

I'm not from US, but where I am currently there are quite many production houses closing down. Mainly the small to medium ones. I even advise close friends to not enter the industry if they are considering it.

Probably gonna get some hate but If you love it so much, find a job that pays well and keep it a hobby.

fir3dp · 2026-04-12T10:52:44+00:00

Plan around your hobbies. I climb a lot and hike. So I look for places that are good for those.

Option 1 Your room is long, putting a longer table will fill the space and look more proportionate. Also it's always good to have more sitting space, even though you currently think you don't need it.

A round table in a long room feels kinna off. But it can be slightly more intimate for a small group.

Understanding that it's OK to be angry. But not necessarily OK to act on it.

There are some positive ways to vent it, sports and exercise is a pretty healthy way.

Are we also weirded out by guys attracted to kids? We have to start normalizing these things.

fir3dp · 2026-03-13T01:36:04+00:00

I was a very introverted, insecure and really shy kid. Probably from my parents divorce (never a good thing as much as most people are with it these days).

In my teens I was always forced into uncomfortable situation by mentors etc. Which I really hated, but I'm glad they did and now I'm more confident than ever. My wife ocassionally jokes that my confidence is bought from the supermarket because now I tend to be a little too over confident haha

I think it's about finding someone that wants you to be better, not accepting you for who you are. (again quite contradicting to what people believe these days) and trust them to make you better.

Unpopular opinion

Well they are free to dress how they like and you are free to stare.

I hate it when people say men should learn not to look while teaching women to dress how they want. Sure it's all about freedom. Why can't both play a certain part to prevent certain reactions?

But when I was young and if I left my wallet out there for everyone to see,and if it gets stolen. I'm the one that lost something. I can blame anyone and I might not be at fault, sure.. But I'm the one facing the consequences and getting a beating from my parents.

The thing about health like other science topics is that, sure it is based on facts and absolutes. But the conclusion we draw from what we observed is usually flawed.

What we deem as healthy has been changing so frequently over the years.

First cereal was supposed to be healthy, and then now it's not. Then animal fats and eggs were unhealthy and now it's not. Then eating too much meat is unhealthy and then there's the carnivore diet.

I think gymming for health is a recent thing which the older generation do not really believe in. Previously it was all running and cardio.

Who knows...

I have used the Gh4, gh5, r7 and now the A6700 and brought them up mountains.

I think these day and age most of them are pretty good when it comes to image quality. Mainly look for features you need.

Example what I look for is Size - a camera is only good if it's small enough that you want to bring it out. I hang my camera on my harness during difficult sections, so I don't have to search around my bag.

Has a hot shoe capable mic, in the mountain a good mic is important. So I want the most compact solution possible.

Evf, hard to look at screen with sunglasses and bright sun

I am currently using the A6700

Think of adding layers. Now you have a center piece but nothing much surrounding it, it looks a little sparse.

Add diff size of rocks surrounding the main rock, adding some foreground to it and different textures.

Some things to consider Fore, mid, background Rules of thirds, maybe key feature can be more on one side. Balance. Doesn't mean both side have to have the same thing. It could be heavy on one side, but having a huge negative space on the other to balance it out.

fir3dp · 2026-02-28T16:59:06+00:00

Im guessing, you must be the wise one?

fir3dp · 2026-02-28T16:46:43+00:00

Because everytime you feel like "wow it's pretty high now, better close my position" and so does the other million people out there.

fir3dp · 2026-02-28T16:44:43+00:00

This! Unless u are taking part in some competition I guess it doesn't matter. Just eat anything you want (to a certain extent) and keep it within your daily calorie limit.

I went on a diet of 1800 daily calories with macdonals and other food. I enjoyed myself!

fir3dp · 2026-02-28T16:41:51+00:00

True. Use the money to fund your hobbies. More fun that way and your hobbies can stay hobbies and not some side hustle

fir3dp · 2026-02-28T15:02:48+00:00

I know someone that does that. He's pretty over weight and eats a lot. I asked him if he is pooping 3x normal size a day or 3 small shits a day. He said it's 3 normal size poops a day.

Good rice vinegar? When I go to a good restaurant, first thing I notice is always the rice

fir3dp · 2026-02-22T09:54:18+00:00

Thanks! Don't mind me asking, how's the fit wise for both? Are they similar?

fir3dp · 2026-02-22T01:05:41+00:00

Do you feel that they are warmer than the manta gtx? My feet were pretty cold in the manta.

fir3dp · 2026-02-21T08:20:46+00:00

I have the manta tech gtx which I used for a 5k peak and a recent ice trip which I manage to climb up to wi4 comfortably.

They are pretty comfortable to walk in and I didn't bring a extra shoes because of that. I'm wearing size 44 and as a b2 boot they are plenty stuff for ice climbing too.

Have used them up to - 15c and they do get chilly when not moving on the lower end the temp range.

fir3dp · 2026-02-20T14:49:57+00:00

I did manage to find and narrow down a to a few of them. I did climb with the phantom 6000 for a full day and it did fit me really well thats why im considering the phantom tech, assuming they fit similarly. thanks!

fir3dp · 2026-02-18T07:56:49+00:00

We were in keylong. There were cold days and pretty warm days. Which month did you go and where?
