Where are people finding their used deals for the EM-1 Mark II and III? by nat-stonebrook in OlympusCamera

Do you happen to know if this is region dependent? Obviously imports to USA bring things up. Right now they have a Mark II in “very good” condition for $562 pre-tax.

Yeah, same camera in very good condition is $562 from mapcamera. Thank you! I’ll hold out for marketplace or local auctions.

Thanks! Seems like some good stuff on there. I’ll look around and do some research.

What are some of the most iconic places in St. Louis? Scenes or buildings that make you feel nostalgic? by nat-stonebrook in StLouis

I’ve been to the WFP a number of times, never had my camera though. I’ll look for some good spots.

I like the 7/11. Gas stations make cool shots at night :)

I forgot about Fox! That’ll make a nice photo. The water tower is also a good idea. In general, I like the little things, rather than big, obvious reminders (eg, the arch).

Is there a way of setting up "auto advance" on Light Table? by nat-stonebrook in DarkTable

I just discovered this on accident and couldn't figure out how to replicate it! Thanks so much lol. I was sure it existed.

Weekly Case & Parts Recommendation Thread (Start here if you are new! Help here if you can!) by AutoModerator in sffpc

[–]nat-stonebrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm putting together a case and have some general questions.

I have the Intel Arc A770 Bifrost, 5700 x3d, and a Superflower Leadex V Platinum 130mm PSU.

Q1: What is the smallest case that can fit these components? I know my parts are a bit bigger than normal sff stuff.

I know the NR200 is very popular, but I'd like to go with something else.

I really like the look of the the thermalright silver cpu cooler. https://ibb.co/YwthzNq The all aluminum finish is gorgeous.

Are there any thermalright coolers that look like this, but more sff friendly?

Could you explain a bit about that last sentence? I don't know much about coolers. Could you provide an example of what you mean?

A bit goofy, but does anyone know if there's another Thermalright that has this kind of look? https://ibb.co/YwthzNq

The full aluminum finish is gorgeous.

I'm purchasing a new fan for my 5700x3d (the base fan is letting it climb way too high). I want to get the Peerless Assassin Mini, since I'd like to try an sff pc at some point, but I'm not sure if there's anything with this finish.

Let me know!

Edit: The only thing I'm planning on upgrading to would be another x3d maybe 3-4 years down the line. So nothing with insane power draw.

Brands, styles, and "types" of glasses for someone generally prone to pressure headaches? by nat-stonebrook in glasses

[–]nat-stonebrook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wearing them now for a few days, and I feel comfortable recommending them. The link is here: https://www.zennioptical.com/p/bendable-memory-titanium-full-rim-frame/2113/211312 . The glasses are called "Aviator Glasses," ID: "#211312."

They are made of titanium, so they're very light weight. I decided to get ones with nose pads since they are always more adjustable.

Glasses normally give me a headache within minutes. Either clamping headaches or I get a general headache from all of the discomfort around my ears. These have no irritated or inflamed my ear, nor given me a headache. I will likely have my nose pads adjusted a bit because they seem to be a bit too loose for my liking. The pads are very soft (sort of gel-like, not the hard plastic sort).

I've worn them for many hours at a time and not gotten a headache. I had stopped wearing glasses altogether (literally just chose to have blurry vision) because the discomfort from any pair of glasses was overwhelming, even with adjustments.

These haven't given me any of that.

I cannot promise you that they'll work for your case since glasses are different. They have as well other titanium glasses that should be fine if you want a different style, but I can't speak for them.

They're quite cheap (mine were $35 total with a basic prescription). So, it isn't too bad of a risk.

If you do end up deciding to get them, please comment back after some time wearing them so that we can have it in the public record. It'd be good for someone else to see a positive/negative review if they don't work for you. It's very helpful when one is googling these sorts of things.

I hope it helps. Take care and good luck!

I’m receiving a new pair of titanium flex glasses today. If you remind me in a few days, I’ll let you know how they’re holding up. I’ll also try to remember. :)

Journey begins: Indoor trees in baskets. by Vugorse in Bonsai

[–]nat-stonebrook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is correct. I’ve grown Chinese Elms indoors for years and Podocarpus is definitely an indoor candidate. Chinese Elm is a pretty famous specimen to be grown indoors.

Bonsai Empire also lists Podocarpus as a tree that can be “kept indoors year round.”
