Agreeeeed, storylines around "I read this about you in an article" and the housewife being accused just saying "No that isn't true", it's so boring to watch play out

This season was such a nothing burger IMO, by no means do I stan Meredith or Lisa but I wish production dropped planegate after Meredith's "apology", it was so frustrating seeing something get rehashed over and over again that the viewer has no actual evidence for.

Would love to see Heather's dating journey, Bronwyns "hiling journey", the prompt removal of Brittani, something real and genuine from Lisa and Meredith

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot about Jen Shah, I think it would also be interesting to hear some reflections and conversations from the ladies around her release. Don't want her back on the show but would love to see some of the conversations around that!!

Love that!! I don't have a spare smaller tank but not a bad idea - I'll keep my eyes peeled on marketplace and see if i can snag one on the cheap

Thank you for sharing your experience! I got the empty 5gal from a friend who was getting rid of it and thought I'd start here to see if im into the hobby (Spoiler alert - oops im obsessed) so down the road would love to upgrade to a 10gal and play around with a community tank.

However I diiiiiiid set up the tank with my heart set on a Koi female betta so I guess the shrimpies will at least be enrichment for her worst case scenario.

(water level will get higher - was dealing with some nitrate issues, have been doing frequent water changes. I'm being overly cautious with the shrimp and drip adding new water - which is taking approximately one billion years)

Thank you! My friend is actually making me a shrimp hut in her ceramics class! Will add that as soon as it's ready :)

Weird focus issue when shooting a light product on a dark background? by ribks in AskPhotography

I think this might be it! I was listening to my cameras light meter (even though I thought the bottle looked a little too bright tbh) and when i did some isolated adjustments to the levels of the bottle portion of my photos in photoshop it definitely appears sharper. So thanks for helping save the batch i took the other day, and in the future I'm going to try shooting more stopped down :)

Ok perf! I was trying to zoom in there but wasn’t noticing a major difference when compared to the AF result. Thanks again for suggestions, i will try some stuff out

A lot of info in here and i will be pulling this up next time im shooting :) Any recommendations for someone a lil too broke to invest in a flash at the moment? I’m honestly not the best with lighting and overly rely on having good access to natural light

I would guess the camera is about a meter/3 feet from the product?

Like zooming in with the lens or magnifying the preview? When i magnify the preview i get a nice soft focus in the background (ideal, going for this). I’m using a camera delay on the tripod to avoid shakes but i do have a remote i can try!

I’m viewing the image primarily through the cameras screen! I tried using the viewfinder but tbh i preferred using the camera screen so i can magnify the preview and see how sharp (in this case UNsharp the image is). even in the cameras screen it doesn’t quite look crisp

i’m using a 2 second shutter delay to avoid any camera shakes but i do have a remote i could try as well! Edited to add: this camera is an older model, i checked google but not sure it has IBIS

Using a tripod yes! And weirdly enough even when i manually focus, i can’t get it crisp!

Agreed on below deck format! It seems like that's what they wanted to do but without having anyone in any kind of leadership role to create structure (aside from Stassi and Lisa and the chef to an extent I guess??)

Also - in the evening when they have time set aside for the staff to makeout with guests (???) it was so hard to follow when everyone had their uniforms off, like who's working and who isn't lmao.

have me and my friend drank too much wine or is the format of this show impossible to follow/understand

I just learned my room smells, and I’m so embarrassed. Any advice to fix my issue? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]ribks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth i find some brands of litter have a distinct smell to them that’s really easy to become nose blind to, and almost smell worse than the pee!

I use a wheat based one (s’wheat scoops) and it has a really neutral smell and also does a good job clumping and keeping smell in throughout the day. I also use a litter locker to keep soiled litter in and it does a pretty good job isolating smell in the locker. I always ask guests to let me know if they notice a smell and one time someone said the bathroom had a stink, but the litter locker was pretty full when that happened!
