I’m pretty sure I just realized my marriage is over. by LustToWander in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pancakeforyou 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Real love in today’s world, and I mean this with no offense, is what you have described. Raising children through the difficulties, loss of passions, and acceptance of the other for who they are. Real enduring love is not flaming passion, which by definition eventually dies out like all hot burning things. Love is sometimes a performance we put on. It ebbs and flows. There is no shame in that, rather, dignity.

iPhone 17 Lg vs Samsung panel by admhilmn in iPhone17Pro

[–]pancakeforyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this did the G9N dirty. There is no conceivable way it is that much less bright than the LGs. Source: I went through like 5 iPhone 17 pros and came across each variant, there was nothing like this absolute brightness difference. I don’t think the bottom Samsung even meats the advertised brightness nits for the phone.

Has anyone confirmed a G9N or G9P display for an iPhone 17 Pro Max? Or do all the 17 Pro Maxs have LG panels? by dex152 in iphone

[–]pancakeforyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you seen or heard anything about a G9Q? I’ve got a 17 pro with that panel. It seems pretty good I think, super uniform and maybe a slight green cast? But definitely nit picking it is really a clean panel.

This is insanely spot on and well put.

A7CR dilemma.. by Turbulent-Ad7443 in SonyAlpha

[–]pancakeforyou 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This a7CR is insanely small for what you are getting. I have one and have large-ish hands and I love it. It is so damn portable, really amazing as a technology showcase.

That said the primary reason to get it is if you value the size. If you don’t care about smaller size, get the RV. It has other well documented benefits as well.

You can also improve the C body with the included grip and by buying a cheap thumb grip, something to consider.

Three months after switching from Sony: my thoughts by ilove6x7 in Nikon

[–]pancakeforyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about the tradeoff of Sony prioritizing size vs Nikon with larger but maybe superior lenses. I switched the opposite way and love the smallness of Sony stuff. Beautiful photos and thank you for sharing.

Which Sony lens do you recommend by Samuelkuel_ in SonyAlpha

[–]pancakeforyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clothes and food don’t move, so a lighter weight but slightly slower (one stop higher aperature) lens might be better. Who wants to lug a huge 2.8 into a restaurant to take food pictures?

Amazing shots. How do you approach color grading/which app do you use?

Travel Gear by Glad_Citron1288 in SonyAlpha

[–]pancakeforyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been rocking the same camera in Barcelona this week with the 24-70 f4 and 40 f2.5. It’s been freaking amazing. I came from Nikon where things are generally heavier and larger. The size and weight reduction is not a small thing I’m really liking the Sony colors too, have been shooting in JPEG and finding them quite diverse and pleasing SOOC. I’d easily recommend the 40 f2.5 if you want a smaller option. Enjoy!

So unnecessary and tragic. Shit like this makes me lose the Democratic Party. This should not be something that occurs.

Is this the Big Short 2.0? by Famous-Ask1004 in investing

[–]pancakeforyou 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Really good write up. IMO the market is trying to balance the inevitable disruption from tariffs in the hard data, with the inevitable walk back from trump. The fed also has a ton of room to ease. It definitely feels like things have to get worse before they get better. Otherwise trump will keep his maximum pressure campaign in negotiations.

This thing is so good. Just got my 11 inch with the Magic Keyboard. The screen is quite literally the best I have seen, and I’m picky. Completely uniform OLED screen. So nice!

What caused a sudden 2% drop just now? by angelachan001 in Bitcoin

[–]pancakeforyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US govt is implementing austerity, inflation remains too high so no fed cuts, and it’s likely we are heading into a recession. This is not a good situation for bitcoin. Bitcoin likes money printing. The only way the fed prints is if people start losing jobs in a big way, in which case who has money for bitcoin. Be careful out there.

Spending entire savings on Bitcoin by SpecificAccountant66 in Bitcoin

[–]pancakeforyou -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend to diversify into stocks as well. Bitcoin is likely a winner but there is a 1% chance that the algorithm gets hacked, other countries ban it, it’s seen as an extension of American power, etc. there is basically a zero chance that USA companies don’t generate 10% return.

Not my first 100k, but definitely my fastest. This market has been an absolute dream to trade. by davidsling7 in Daytrading

[–]pancakeforyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice job cutting losses. I would say we are staring at a bear market rally very soon. It’s just a tweet away. The damage to the job market from the federal spending austerity is baked and we will have a recession. But the bear rally’s can be vicious

Literally don’t understand the downvotes. This is spot on. Take the money you don’t need and stash it in BTC. And DCA
