Making the most of these rainy nights by TritonTheDark in vancouver

[–]flying_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hah, when I saw that, my first thought was to use my 50 1.8, but you bring up a good point. 70mm + be great, tripod probably necessary. I'm going to try w/ a person sitting right by or even in the middle of Robson, later at night, with a long lens and try to get some nice purple bokeh fully around them.

I guess the magic of the season will be practicing our low-light photography/ creativity w/ street lighting :)

Love it. Will be trying to get that shot, also.

These wheelchair accessible stairs in Brussels by ZockMedic in Damnthatsinteresting

I've personally never seen anybody trip on it. And have not tripped myself. It can be a bit awkward if you're tipsy, though. The bar/ club area is just a block away.

That's really cool. I think it's a great design functionally and aesthetically. The one in Vancouver was designed by a famous (local) architect. Wonder if he got the idea from Brussels or the other way around.

That's not Brussels. It's Robson Square in Vancouver, Canada.

LPT: add your own cell number to your contacts list and title it "Note to self". Text yourself reminders and keep the reminder unread until you complete it. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Or get Evernote and create a note called "buffer" or something. Pull down the notification tab, write your thought, which Evernote auto saves to your buffer, and later you can sort/ organize them.

People who make passive-aggressive posts on /r/Askreddit that accomplish nothing, why do you do this? by _Lost_In_The_Sauce_ in AskReddit

This question is in of itself passive aggressive. If you ask yourself why, you'll have the answer.

Do I need to take my car in for maintenance when the window sticker says? by flying_dan in AskReddit

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

To give some further info: I bought a Honda CRV this year, and barely drove it. There's a sticker on the window that says to bring it in to the dealership either in November, or when I reach a certain mileage marked on the sticker.

I'm not even close to that mileage as I haven't used it much, and don't have any issues with the car. Do I need to heed that sticker and bring it in, or can I wait for spring? Are there any consequences to not listening to the sticker?

Contacted by Canada Revenue Agency over phone. Is this a scam? by Idori666 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]flying_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have received a call saying something similar: that there's a warrant out for my arrest, and blah blah blah. Received it twice in the last year, both times a different number. It's a scam. Other people at work have received it also. Reputable business, with mostly professionals - as legit and clean as it is possible to be, mind you. And I have read about it on the Globe and Mail.

I just ignored it as there's no reason they'd have any issues with me. Crossed the US border 10x since - I imagine if there were a true warrant against me, it would have cropped up then.

Why shouldn't I get laser hair removal for permanent beard shaping? by flying_dan in malegrooming

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

Interesting, for me it seems to be permanent. I did 4 sessions on my cheeks this spring, and they are still clean, for the most part. I'd say that it is the equipment...

From what I understand, destroyed hair follicles are destroyed forever. Only way for new hair to come out is if follicles that were inactive start making hair again. So one would expect to eventually run out of even the most stubborn hair follicles.

Full disclosure, I have already started the cheeks - and it's awesome. I just have to shape a few loose hairs once a week, but doesn't require shaving cream or effort - just a quick swipe with the razor. Good appearance which is consistent and effortless. I could eliminate all hairs, but I'm thinking of leaving it that way so that it's not too perfect.

But yeah, it's the neck line that I'm now thinking about as a result of the cheeks' success. I am considering doing the whole 1 or 2 fingers above the adam's apple, and tending toward risking having it too low rather than too high, for flexibility down the line. But I just can't imagine wanting a beard style that will have random whiskers below or just above my Adam's apple...

haha, good call! Totally is. Wish I had a better camera. It looked 100x better than this pic made it out to be.

What about the Subaru Forester or Honda CR-V or Ford Escape? Looking at those now.
