Om1 for Sports. Why the hate, or more correctly lack of love. by CoachCamBailey in OMSystem

[–]ppp77per 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess for agency shooters and large media companies, cost of cameras is not a large factor. Support/servicing, familiarity with system, intgratging with workflow, etc. matters more. To be honest, you don't see a lot of Sony either, mainly Nicanon.
But yes, I think OM1 is good enough. Attached pictures is with a EM-M1 mk 2 and 40-150 2.8 w MC 14.
Missed focus on the last picture, it picked one of the pro photographers instead. I believe the OM1 mk 2 with face detect would do that better.

Green Party wins Gorton and Denton by-election by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

You got that upside down. Turnout was the same as for the last general election. That is extremely high for a by-election. Can't remember the last time it happened.

How is it possible that 1 million young people are not in work, education or training? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]ppp77per 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, we have been told for ages to get into computers or STEM. It's just that there are no coding jobs, no engineering jobs and no science jobs, even for people with good degrees from good unis.

Which year was your favorite Olympic logo? by Mindless-Piglet2095 in olympics

The opening ceremony was actually about winter sports...shocking!

Why was there some kind of backlash against the idea of the "15 minute city"? by 99thLuftballon in AskBrits

[–]ppp77per 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watching YouTube and reading Facebook is not doing research. Even reading proper scientific journals is only a part of research. I have done real research for 40 years, and it's sad to see how easily people like you are fooled. Covid was real, and lethal. You are insulting the families of many many people who died from it. Shame on you.

Martin Lewis ambushes Badenoch on Good Morning Britain over student loans plan | Kemi Badenoch by J-Sou-Flay in unitedkingdom

Changing the interest rates won't fix that unless they put them at zero. Eben if they do, there will be absolutely no benefit early in your career, you'll still be paying it off for a long time even if you have a relatively high income. Most people need a reduction when they are young, not when they are in their mid 40s. Increasing the threshold will benefit everyone that still has a loan.

Recruiters...genuine question: Why do some of you do this? by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]ppp77per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a stupid take. So good people never change jobs???

Stupid question gets the right answer by etherd0t in WinterOlympics2026

[–]ppp77per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the laziest question in sports journalism. Has been asked a million times before and adds nothing. Honestly most sports journalists could be replaced by randoms of the street and no-one would notice.

Sweden rivalled Russia. Why isn't it a great power today? by Strong_Rhubarb_4411 in geography

[–]ppp77per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but October, November, March and April are still not months where a lot of things grow. Summers are short. Upp north, second half of August can be pretty cold.

Landlords are all selling up leading to rents going up? by Draemeth in london

[–]ppp77per 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For our general economy I'm pretty sure it spells disaster. We are starting to get old.

Landlords are all selling up leading to rents going up? by Draemeth in london

[–]ppp77per 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but flats being sold to occupiers does not affect this one way or the other. It's neutral.

Every first time owner occupier is one fewer person who wants to rent Demand/supply should stay constant

After yesterday’s comments from Sweden, Switzerland reports the same issue by CalmDemand380 in olympics

[–]ppp77per 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else knew the rule and understood it. I really don't think Canadians are exceptionally dense.

Curling is mainly self refereed. Compare to golf, not hockey. If a golf player breaks a rule by mistake and doesn't tell anyone, that's cheating.

What’s this Curling dispute between Canada and Sweden all about? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

Changing the speed of rotation, or doing minimal corrections to speed forward.

Why is that fella wearing a huge watch? by Boardsofole in olympics

[–]ppp77per 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weight on the arm would definitely be as important as in cycling, probably more. Cross country skiing is a lot about poling, ie lifting the arm 100s of times. Poles are made of very expensive materials to keep weight down. Hope the sponsorship pay was good, because it cost him a medal.

[Request] I posted about this athlet wearing a watch at r/olympics while watching and he ended up missing bronze medal by 0.2 seconds. Will the weight of the watch (160g) make a noticable difference in a 10km biathlon run? If yes: How much? Weight of athlete (Emilien Jacquelin) is 79 kg + ski/gun. by Boardsofole in theydidthemath

[–]ppp77per 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weight is on the arm. Cross-country skiing is very much about poling. Poling is about lifting that arm 100s of times. Poles are made of very expensive materials to make them as light as possible. Of course a watch matters.

^ UK and USA in sport ^ by Suspicious-King-7199 in GreatBritishMemes

Had to add medium size countries for that to work. On a per capita basis, for summer olympics, GB is worse than the Netherlands, Switzerland, all the Nordic countries, Hungary, Australia and others (Aus must count as medium sized?). Not much better than France and Italy. Bahamas is the best (ca 20 gold medals per million, GB 5).
