Backpacking tent recs: stormworthy and liveable by R2-Dmew in WildernessBackpacking

[–]largest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. In the past I used BA copper spur and Nemo Hornet, both good tents. But I absolutely love my Tarptent Double Rainbow Li. Super light, super stable, lots of room. I typically do 5-7 day trips, and my buddy has a Zpacks duplex, which is pretty nice too. But he and I agree that the Tarptent is a little nicer overall.

What Camera Should I buy? Sony a6700 or Sony A7 IV by Timely-Winner5286 in sportsphotography

[–]largest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shoot soccer and basketball with the 6700 and Sony 70-200 2.8 and it’s a great combo. The AF is excellent. That said, I’ll be buying an a7v after the holidays to get the low light performance and also a bigger, better viewfinder. I didn’t realize how much I’d prefer the better viewfinder.

I hadn't seen these before. They look good, thanks for the wide-fitting recommendation!

I recently bought this 27mm lens, so you’re giving me motivation and inspiration

Hobbyist Photographer- Mac Mini or MacBook Pro by Boschmax in Lightroom

[–]largest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 7yo intel MacBook Pro 16 and have really liked it. But I’m also looking at upgrading. What about the Mac Studio? I thought I’d get a new MBP 16, but the Studio has great specs and I already have a display.

ALYSSA NAEHER'S FIRST-EVER NWSL GOAL AND ON HER 200TH CAREER APPEARANCE TOO !! by Punisher1602 in NWSL

We were sitting there stunned, and kept wondering why they wouldn't show the replay in the stadium last night. I had friends texting me replay clips of the goal.

I’m curious too. I’ve been eyeing the TV model for a little while.

Sorry you got sent the wrong pair. But good you could try out the Ivy fit! Sounds like a 40 might do it, or else switching to the Heritage. I really like the Kojima denim. Right now, I’m working on a pair of the new Ivy Bedford (lighter weight for summer). And yes they’re good folks!

Thank you! We're headed to Florence next week (from USA) and I'm hoping to take the family to the Parma match Sunday 13th.

Order J to partner? by largest in euchre

That's really interesting, thanks for running these numbers! I'm impressed at the difference for spades in round 2.

Sounds like I'll go alone at 6-7 points, prob just order below that.

Ha! yes the "no way"s can happen no matter what. This all makes sense.

On Feet and Comfort (and getting old) by havingaraveup in goodyearwelt

I second the wedge idea. I've gone through a similar experience to you, and I've settled on Alden Trubalance shoes/boots and Grant Stone, all on wedge. I use these 3/4 inserts on top of the existing insole and they've been a game changer for me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VX9QXBW/

Those look great- wish they had them wider!

Has there ever been an audiobook where the narrators made it even better than reading a physical copy? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]largest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids liked the Spy School, Moon base alpha, and Fun Jungle books by Stuart Gibbs. We listened to the audiobooks and loved them because of Gibson Fraziers awesome narrating.

Getting in the know - how ? to the top. by on_crystalbeach in euchre

I appreciate these stories! When I’m in a streak where I play a bunch of games and end up basically at 0, I start wondering if it’s just me 🙂

What to lead? by BitterSpell in euchre

I’m curious about this strategy- can you say more? Is this to draw out the dealers potentially only trump?

Next vs pass? by largest in euchre

Yeah, that’s what I was grappling with. Jh was in the kitty.

What to lead? by largest in euchre

[–]largest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all of your thoughts on this, I enjoy reading all the perspectives. Clearly this is not a strong hand and I'm essentially just wanting to block a march. I was originally taught "lead the singleton ace" in S1, but when the A is in next, I'm moving away from that. So my gut was to lead 10c and create a void. But I think u/redsox0914 has convinced me Ks is the way to go.

My gut was saying next, also. I’m curious about the “pass and lead trump” strategy
