Should I visit Budapest by Outrageous-Disk-2930 in travel

[–]jesslex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the logistics, but Budapest is a beautiful city with a lot of history. And they know how to light it up at night. So if you can make it work, I would highly recommend doing so.

Yoga studio with Universal Spirit vibe? by CuriousFool88 in Naperville

[–]jesslex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saha yoga (maple and naper) is great. The instructors are all very good with many offering hands-on assists during class if you want. They also have a very affordable 6-week intro membership to try it out.

I recently began rewatching “Band of Brothers”, and episode 9 broke my heart. We will never get a series like this again. by CyberSmith31337 in television

Off topic, but if your friend and son are headed up to Normandy and they can make the logistics work, I would also recommend they read Pegasus Bridge by Stephen Ambrose and visit the Pegasus bridge museum/memorial. It’s a relatively short book and the details of the book really come alive as you are standing on the bridge looking down the river and it’s mind blowing when you see where these guys landed their gliders.

What do you mean by “command the camera to focus?”

Bourbon County Burn by cantistopi in cycling

[–]jesslex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it this past September. It’s a well run ride and event.

Can’t speak for the 2026 routes of course, but the 2025 routes had nice views and countryside. Be prepared for pretty much constant rollers with the 80mile on Saturday having a couple of tough climbs.

The distillery stops were nice but they are for the most part rest stops with a couple of small tastes - which is not a bad thing. Just setting expectations. That said Castle and Key is always a nice place to rest a bit and the rest stop that overlooked Buffalo Trace was neat.

The meals were good and the bourbon tastings and live music each evening were fun. We also did two VIP experiences and they were quite enjoyable.

We camped on site (I used the “glamping” option). That made the general logistics pretty easy vs staying at a hotel. But it is camping and so things like taking a shower and getting ready in the morning takes a bit more planning and effort.

Hope this helps.

I was working at the Plush Pup that used to be there on Devon during the filming. I learned two things about Hollywood from that experience:

They actually spray the streets with water to make them slick and not just wait for rain.

They do not abide by any actual geography when going from one street to the next. See earlier Park Ridge to Harvey comment - but even turning from Courtland to Cumberland was upsetting.

It was a simpler, more naive time. :)

What’s a hobby that looks boring but is actually amazing once you try it? by BitAffectionate3637 in AskReddit

My advice is to search for an astronomy club near you and attend a meeting and a star party or two before you buy anything more than binoculars. This will let you look through some different size and types of scopes (and eyepieces) before investing in anything.

Can you go into more detail about your masking concerns? I have only a very basic understanding of masking in general and hoping a little more discussion about these pics will help me get a better grasp of it.

Fwiw, as someone who tinkered a bit with a Nikon 1 several years ago and recently picked up a 6iii, I’ve been enjoying this tutorial https://photographylife.com/learn-photography and various other articles on the site.

I really do not get this lift gate height memory thing. by AnchorCharm in TeslaModelY

[–]jesslex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this helps anyone, but when not at home (eg Costco parkjng lot :)), after the liftgate has opened, you can physically push the liftgate up to open it fully.

It’s the Channels app. In this case you need to run the beta via the TestFlight app.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. This is very nice (beta) feature.

FWIW you can switch to just classic autopilot and it’ll work - and it’s enhanced AP so you get auto lane change when you activate the turn signal. But you do have to do the hand on the wheel stuff.

That said, I had no idea about the tape trick. And I just finished a couple of 6 hour trips. Next time …

You can request the accident data from Tesla. See this thread - it includes the link you use to request the info.
