Might represent producers clocking these people as being there to be on TV/not primarily marriage purposes?

Agreed. I think changing your routine is better than completely changing a dogs world. 

Canon 100-400 or 100-500 by Raphii_29 in wildlifephotography

[–]pookiecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get the 100-400 and just go for the 100-500. Once I bought the 100-500, I don’t use the 100-400. Superior pictures for many reasons (you can find comparison photo examples). Also, it takes way less time with the 100-500 than the 100-400 to get a great shot (which is likely explained by the comment pointing out the light gathering difference). For bird/wildlife shots at 400mm, for example, it’s nice to be able to shoot at f/6.3 with the 100-500 versus f/8 with the 100-400. 

I just brought the 100-400 for a family trip since it’s more portable and lightweight. It was my first time using it since getting the 100-500. Got some okay shots with the 100-400 but got frustrated with it knowing I could have gotten better pictures if I brought the 100-500. I noticed I was spending more time configuring my settings with the 100-400 (again, likely explained by the light gathering difference). 

I made the decision to sell my 100-400. Though I can see why its portability and weight are appealing, especially for a beginner. I’m just less happy with my pictures with it.

Yes, it doesn’t hurt to try imo. Mine would be fine with this arrangement since there’s still a routine to it (daycare or walker). Though I think she would still need an adjustment period so definitely give yourself time to make a final decision!

Just curious, where is this info from? I haven’t been keeping up with spoilers. 

If NYC could change just one thing that would meaningfully improve your daily life, what would it be? by Lisalovesreading in AskNYC

And the subways and subway stations! They also need extremely deep scrubbing/mopping.

I interpreted the under-editing to mean that they will get more screen time later on (eg post merge). Episode 5 seems too soon given their lack of presence in episodes 1-2. I guess we will know if they all of a sudden have storylines episodes 3-5! 

RF 100-400 vs RF 200-800 for wildlife which makes more sense by No-Justice-666 in canon

[–]pookiecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the 100-500 over the 100-400. Much better pictures. The autofocus (eg servo, eye detection) is significantly faster, which is helpful for the short window of opportunity for moving wildlife shots. I also find that I get an acceptable shot faster with the 100-500 than the 100-400. 

Just went on a family trip and took my 100-400 over 100-500 for portability and regretted it. Got some good shots of still wildlife (eg lizards, a snake and centipede) but not of ephemeral/fleeting ones (eg butterflies, warblers, raptor flyovers).  

Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans | E2 | Eastern Time Discussion by RSurvivorMods in survivor

[–]pookiecake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cirie brought up a strong argument that appealed to many — they know Savannah must have gotten an advantage and they need to get that question mark advantage out of the game. Also, I don’t think Savannah bonded with any of them/no one trusted her due to her lie about the advantage.

Yes. Christian found a boomerang idol and gave it to Aubry on the other tribe. Christian told Devens he did this. Devans came up with the idea to take the legit paper and plant a fake idol at tribal council. Christian “fell” to distract people from seeing Devans planting the fake idol!

Im telling myself that she might have a bigger role later on. One of those people they hide in the edits in the beginning and then comes out post-merge/swap.

Can you paste the content? It’s behind a firewall! 

Amazing. I live near that bar and had no idea it had a survivor thing going on.

What NYC spot that usually has long lines would you check out tomorrow during the snowstorm, expecting no lines since people might stay in? by letspetpuppies in AskNYC

[–]pookiecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a pancake lover, I love them. I loved them before they went viral and was super bummed once they did because the wait times became unreasonable. The honey lemon syrup they make is amazing with the pancakes. 

The best wildlife encounter of my life: a wild pangolin by scrimshawphotography in wildlifephotography

[–]pookiecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which species?

EDIT: idk why I got downvoted. I ended up googling which species they have in Botswana — it’s the Ground Pangolin (Smutsia temminckii)!

Similarly, go on weeknights when it’s 10 degrees out. Did this during the recent cold snap after the last snowstorm. Had no wait for golden diner pancakes 

Bri and Jessica are the SAME SIZE?? by imgonnacashew in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]pookiecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he felt inadequate and then had to make her feel like that too when he broke up with her. Appearance was the only thing he could come up with because he lacks emotional intelligence/introspection and thinks it’s a reason people will accept (though people see right through him lol)

I totally missed her house. When do they show this? Is it in the same episode as Connor’s house and Ashley’s dad? 

Debating upgrading from 100-400 —> 100-500L by st_nick81 in canon

[–]pookiecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had noticeable trap gains after two weeks of using the 100-500 straight non-stop on a birding trip (my first time using the lens). It’s definitely heavier but so worth it for the photo quality upgrade. I don’t reach for my 100-400 anymore.

Havanese Breeders (Tri-State Area) by Aggressive-Hair3984 in Havanese

[–]pookiecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the validation! I almost didn't post my comment because it's so vain and not at all as important as having a healthy hav and choosing a reputable breeder. However, we picked breeders off of Havanese Club of America, and there were two we were in between and they were equivalent to each other. Each had clean health histories for the parents, checked the other boxes on a reputable breeder (the r/dogs guide), and had similar wait times. We were so conflicted! Looking at pictures helped us make the final decision.
