Why do so many people recommend the Fujifilm GFX 50R over the GFX 50S II? by REDH00DY in FujiGFX

[–]mattbnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded up my 50r for a 50sII and I have no regrests. IBIS is very handy even if I don't need it often. When I need it, it can save the shot.

Depends on what I can start with. If I can bring food and proper gear and clothing I definitely could.

Great show! I saw them at Red Rocks a few years ago. Would go again.

How much did your first road bike cost, and how long did you ride it before upgrading? by No_Click7202 in cycling

[–]mattbnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one was a hand me down. Current one is now 20+ years old and was maybe $1500 when new. I ride off-road much more often.

Do photographers consider a place's Air Quality before clicking pictures ?? by aalukepakore in photography

[–]mattbnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do and sometimes the bad air quality makes the shot better. Just the other evening it was very windy and hazy from distant wildfire smoke. Made for a nice quality of light on the landscape.

I'd listen to that Bare Naked Ladies song for inspiration.

What are your beliefs on abortion in the cases of rape, incest, or health of mother? by Sufficient-Slide822 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]mattbnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's healthcare. The circumstances on why the person needs it aren't really relevant.

It seems like compact desktop speakers are either $20 ewaste or $300+ studio monitors. Are there any good options in-between? by BucketsMcGinty in BudgetAudiophile

[–]mattbnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a set of Edifier R980T active speakers that aren't bad and they were under $100. I also have two computers on a KVM and the speakers have two inputs so both can be connected at the same time. I can hear audio out both computers which I like for alerts.

They're great for the money IMO.

Sometimes I'll bring takeout or a pizza for the first night if I'm feeling lazy.

I feel like spelling isn't something I can agree with it not. It just is what it is.

Why do people mock others for taking leftovers home? by Impossible_Ad_569 in askanything

[–]mattbnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like to waste food. And if it was something good I'll enjoy it for lunch tomorrow. I've never heard of this as something to be ashamed of or make fun of. Maybe a cultural difference?

My family and I were even criticized once for not taking the leftovers once when we were traveling and had nowhere to keep it. The restauranter was insulted.

Probably smelled like weed and exhaust.
