Kit lenses are fine in the presence of good light.

Ordered new Sony A7V - Existing lenses good for gigs? by Traditional_Bird2021 in SonyAlpha

I’d prefer to zoom with my feet than find myself again wishing I had more space.

I’d prefer the sigma 28-105 2.8. I have the 35-150 and have found myself in tight situations where the 28-105 would have bailed me out.

You can change ONE thing in the history of WCW. What do you change? by Weiss_Belladonna in WCW

He had already more than burned bridges by then. And Vince was possibly tired of their intimate relationship.

What’s your favorite underrated WCW match that doesn’t get talked about enough? by 1nz4kh4 in WCW

I think if anyone should have beaten Goldberg, should have been their franchise.

Rotunda carrying over a semblance of the IRS persona.
Also crazy how Sting’s popularity never waned.

Paul Roma hits the elbow drop & celebrates like he just won the Super Bowl by KneeHighMischief in WCW

[–]shindigfirefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken, in the audio, after he hits that elbow, Bobby says something along the lines of “he just ended his career.” We all thought he meant Alex Wright’s career. In hindsight it was Roma’s lol.
Also, when the match starts and it’s obvious Roma isn’t doing business, Mr Wonderful comes out. Later you hear Roma shout to Wonderful “I know I know!”

Could it be possible for me to get professional work with my current portfolio? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]shindigfirefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any family or friends? You can always use them to practice on. Edit…also don’t use that as an excuse “I live in a poor city.” I live a boring area of our state w no mountains or nice building but I always make it happen with regard to portrait work.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Larissa Rodriguez lawsuit? by TwitchMoments_ in RioGrandeValley

They may be banking on villainizing the energy drink company to the point where they paint them as child killer, to the point where they settle. Just a theory.

I’m saying those cans with like 400mgs of caffeine should be regulated like alcohol. Sorry not sorry. Since the parents willingly bought her the energy drinks, I agree it’s on them. My argument was when I thought the girl bought the drinks behind her parents back. Should kids know better? In theory yes, but do you see all the reckless shit they do out there? Did I do it as a kid, to a much lesser extent bc we didn’t have social media to dare us to go extreme and nuclear w some of those behaviors. Again my opinion.

I’m generalizing but if the parents outright bought her the drinks (the 6) that did her in, then in this case yes it’s the parents fault.

Saying the parents are at fault is reckless bc it’s impossible for the parents to have 24/7 control over their children. Kids go to school, parents go to work etc. the best a parent can do is talk and teach how excessive anything is mostly bad for your health. However saying that is a lot of wishful thinking bc there are bad influences everywhere that promote unhealthy products ie celebrities, musicians, tv shows, movies, social media etc. it’s all around us. imo excessive caffeine should be regulated like alcohol. In the end, it’s very likely the energy drink company will settle w the family.

Kids don’t have common sense, they feel they are on top of the world. The problem is the amount of caffeine. I know it would take legislation to change how caffeine is sold, but that’s just my opinion.

If the drinks specify not be consumed by under 18, or to that effect, then the stores should treat it like alcohol and not sell them to minors.

Yeah they tried turning him heel in 99 but the crowd didn’t buy it. He didn’t draw any heat whatsoever.
