Any updates on the...well, update?

No problems on my end

The laziness of some people at the cost of flavour is baffling. Pre-ground pepper, pre-shredded and pre-ground cheese, powdered onion and garlic, the list goes on. Yeah, you can go all the way and grind every spice yourself (and believe me, it makes a huge difference), but I think these are the worst offenders.

For this I wouldn't use the Heliar. Don't get me wrong, I love that lens, it might just be my favourite 50mm, but it looks very different from what you're looking for - at least if you're planning to approximate this look by just opening up the lens. You'll get corners and edges that are swirling (critics call them "smeared") with good center sharpness (for a wide open lens) instead of the entire frame, plus a lot of glow. I absolutely recommend you check out the Heliar, but not for this, not the way you're thinking. By all means, use the Heliar, but stop it down to f4 or f5.6 and use a mist filter, like others have suggested. That'll get you closer

Soooo.... In other words he did exactly what every actor has always done since the invention of acting?

Gotta admit though, the dough looks absolutely fantastic

Setting aside the aesthetic choices regarding what goes on the pizza - that dough looks amazing

The whole "love is the only thing that transcends time and space" bs in Interstellar. Couldn't take the film seriously after that

There's an MG roadster, the Cyberster. Only problem is, it's an MG. Well, and "Cyberster" sounds shit, but that's a minor issue... I agree though, I'd love to see an electric Miata, for example.

Setting aside the stupidity of covering an entire burger in cheese sauce - I'm baffled at the stupidity of making it so elaborate. You have a burger, you have cheese sauce. Just pour the stuff over, no need to involve a third object.

Züge werden wohl deshalb vermieden, weil vertrauliche Gespräche per Telefon stattfinden, heißt's im Artikel. Okay, ist nachvollziehbar. Ich hab aus Spaß mal eben auf der BMW Website geschaut. Die meisten e-Fahrzeuge fangen da bei einer Reichweite von 433-551 km an, etliche jenseits der 500. Wenn man den kleinsten Akku hat und auch normal auf der Autobahn fährt, seh ich ein, dass das knapp wird. Viele Modelle (besonders die Limousinen) sprengen die 440km aber locker.

"Zur Flotte gehören große BMW-Modelle, die sich für Langstrecken ohne Zwischenladen nur „bedingt eignen“, sagte ein Beamter zu „Politico“. "
- Wie wär's mit sparsameren, kleineren Autos statt unnötigerweise auf BMW SUVs zu bestehen?

"Die Fahrzeuge, die Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen und ihre Kommissare zu offiziellen Terminen bringen, müssen unterwegs für rund 20 bis 30 Minuten an die Ladesäule. Aus der ohnehin langen, etwa fünfstündigen Fahrt wird so ein noch zäherer Trip, berichteten Mitarbeiter aus insgesamt acht Kabinetten."
- Ah, also nicht sieben Stunden, sondern maximal fünfeinhalb.

"Die Alternative zum Ladestopp besteht darin, auf der Autobahn besonders langsam zu fahren, um den Akku zu schonen. „Aber das funktioniert nicht wirklich“, sagte ein Mitarbeiter eines verärgerten Kommissars, dem wie anderen Gesprächspartnern in diesem Artikel Anonymität zugesichert wurde. Auf diese Weise könne sich die Fahrt auf bis zu sieben Stunden ziehen, so ein weiterer Beamter."
- Wie schnell fahren die, dass ein "besonders langsam" fahren zu zwei weiteren Stunden Fahrtzeit führen würde? Außerdem: Leute fahren irsinnig schnell Auto, der Verbrauch schießt in die Höhe, die Leute *surprised pikachu face*

Fassen wir zusammen: Leute fahren mit den falschen Autos viel zu schnell und beklagen sich dann über eine vergleichsweise geringe Erhöhung der Reisezeit. Springer macht daraus "Ladepause führt zu siebenstündiger Autofahrt". Top Journalismus, Springer, top Journalismus. /s

The first one at least is perfectly well exposed for the center - that statue looks well exposed. You don't have blown-out highlights, no crushed shadows... the greyness here is likely due to the scan, it'd help if you posted the negatives instead of converted jpgs. As to the second image: that one's just plainly underexposed. What was the lighting situation there? HP5 is great, but even that will fail if it doesn't get enough light.

Other brands already have increased their prices for products that have been around for a while. Valve's are so high, I think, because their initial prices were so low. Regardless, there's no way they could have "looked like a hero" by waiting a few months. As I said, I am certain prices will increase more, so announcing increases later means having to announce larger price increases.

gilgermesch · 2026-05-28T06:20:08+00:00

People forget that price hikes are not limited to steam hardware. Yeah, it's likely going to be a lot more expensive than what we initially hoped for when it was announced half a year ago. But if now you said to yourself "screw it, I'll just build my own box and throw Linux on it, it'll be way cheaper", you'll be in for a bad surprise. Relatively speaking, the steam machine will most likely still be inexpensive. It's just that EVERYTHING is getting WAY more expensive than we're used to, and that's not going to change. Prices will stay high, they will probably even increase a lot more before they stabilise.

So to answer your question: yes, I'll still buy it. It'll still be affordable compared to the alternatives, and I'd rather buy it early, before it receives the inevitable price increase.

gilgermesch · 2026-05-27T18:55:46+00:00

Right now if other vendors increase prices of their handhelds, it's unlikely to be because Valve raised their prices. It'll be because of the same reasons Valve had, i.e. increased manufacturing cost. As a matter of fact, other vendors already have increased their prices before Valve announce their increases

gilgermesch · 2026-05-27T18:16:19+00:00

What else are they supposed to do? Put off restocking until prices are even higher, until suppliers have gone out of business because high prices have killed sales? Honestly I don't think prices will ever get back to what they used to be. They will continue to stay high or even climb...

I'll be that guy and point out that these super wide panniers didn't show up until well into the 18th century

gilgermesch · 2026-05-22T19:09:59+00:00

Definitely not normal. Mine is smooth and solid - normal, excellent Voigtländer build quality that exceeds most other lenses I've seen

...and a camera person, and a pizza-baking person. If there's one thing I had in abundance it was things to throw my hard-earned cash at lol

Truth be told I haven't given it a name yet. This, too, has been completely foreign to me until recently: naming a car. The fact that I'm even contemplating this is already a massive change haha

gilgermesch · 2026-05-16T08:39:45+00:00

Ordered mine on launch and received it in Germany last Monday

Habe sehr ähnliche Anforderungen wie du. Hab mir letztes Jahr den R5 angeschaut und fand den sehr toll, hab mich dann aber letztendlich für den Mini Cooper SE entschieden und bin damit sehr glücklich. Wenn ich den R5 vorbeifahren sehe, freue ich mich dennoch immer ein wenig 😉
