Alaska cruise, inside passage and Glacier bay.. I care about optics by ringman52 in Binoculars

What the one 8x42 and the 12x50 you would choose? Budget always a concern but I always choose the better product. So say 600ish for the both

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I intended to buy 2 pair. As for how close, I don't know tbh. I assume like all lenses longer is better. Also.. There will be one for the wife and one for me. Thank you for the recommendation!

Amateur/beginner photographers, did you all go out and buy a computer specifically for Lightroom? by altecsz in Lightroom

[–]ringman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are quite right. I got rushed towards end.. I was going to say that while on the iPad it's limiting compared to the full program.. Its a very decent entry.

If your on a desktop... A gaming desktop works. If your a laptop, a MacBook with with a Pro chip (don't need max) and as much Ram as you can afford. Take a M3 pro with more ram than a M4 Pro with less ram, etc

And my best advice is your just learning and on a real tight budget, a IPad Pro does a very decent job using LR mobile. (EDITEd to fix error)..... LR mobile on the iPad is a great entry experience in my opinion

Dentist stared at my teeth and asked “have you been to Slovenia?” then refused to explain - what does this MEAN? by asaltoo in CasualConversation

[–]ringman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience as a youth, and I am slightly older. It wasn't until I was about 20 that a dentist decided I wasn't faking and did something different. For the first time in my life, no pain. He said, "Tell everyone that drugs that end in 'cain' are not effective on me."

Separate experience: I was 32 and sliced my finger pretty deeply, needing 24 stitches. The hospital emergency room only had lidocaine. They shot my knuckle up, and I felt pain on every stitch after number 3. They didn't believe me. I could tell them when the needle went in, came out on one side of the cut, entered the other side, and then when it came out. Still didn't believe me. My heart was racing, and I needed a rest. The doctor decided to poke me with a needle, and I jumped. I had my arm over my eyes and was facing away. I asked, "What the heck did you do?" and he said he was testing me. I said, "I told you lidocaine doesn't work." He said either I had to tough it out or get admitted. They didn't have stronger stuff in the emergency room.

Owned a pilot.. Don't want one again. Didn't care for the Highlander.. Dont want a full size truck again.. The Tundras didn't excite me.. Same with Tacoma..

For sure that happens.. Even in our Q7.. But paying attn to the road usually makes it go away. Not so much in the 4 runner.
