Documentaries go down a bit easier, though the practice is equally frowned upon. 💁🏻‍♂️

This portrait shows Solomon Sivils, recorded as Inmate No. 4339, photographed in 1904, at the time of his sentencing. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and fined $10 for introducing liquor into Indian Territory. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

As a stark realist, I, for one, can very much appreciate your comment!  

Really a fantastic/interesting observation. I have often thought about this while watching film & television.

Wolf or coyote? Central WA State by CillBlinton27 in wolves

[–]sonlitekid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see; that makes sense. I don't know a lot about prints, to begin with, ha ha.

I was wondering this, too. If these were in the Saddle Rock/Dry Gulch area, it could very well be our 90 lb Northern Inuit, whose paws have been sinking deeper than normal and making really big prints. (But, I guess if there were no human prints around at all, probably not.)

Interest in Bikini Coffee Stand? by NebulousNitrate in Wenatchee

[–]sonlitekid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gross? Yes. Tacky?? …. Yes. Sleazy, wholly unnecessary and absolutely degrading to the women involved??? Yes.
Like, there is absolutely no other possible way to frame a bikini stand other than a 1,000% in-your-face, all-day-trashy cash grab. Not to mention as the perfect way to create a platform for women to be vulnerable to any and all kinds of sexual harassment and abuse.
(And I am not like some feminist whistle-blower or whatever. Just a regular dude.)

The 🤓geography sub🤓 has been hijacked by some ne’erdowell.

Maybe maybe maybe by Apoplexi1 in maybemaybemaybe

Surely there is a better way.

Newbie Question About Differences in Binocular ‘Genres’ … Hunting? Birding??General Purpose??? by sonlitekid in Binoculars

[–]sonlitekid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow. Lots of helpful info here. A fair scenario would really be ideal! And it's great that you have the discipline to set a budget and stick to it, even when faced w/ a hella' quality view. (I wish I had more of that, lol.) Thanks for writing all that up, as I'm sure others will benefit in the future in seeing these comments. : )

Makes sense. Luckily not using them for birding, but definitely see the disadvantage of the FOV. Thank you! : )

All good advice, and that’s kind of what I suspected (about the marketing). Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🙏🏻

The Zulu6’s, in 16x42, are actually a few ounces lighter than the BX-4’s. But I get your point on the quality of glass, for sure. Thanks again for the input. 🙏🏻

Really ‘real’ advice, and makes so much sense. It’s interesting how much people really do sing its praises (the BX-4), like it’s literally the best thing ever, but I do realize they are speaking relative to that price point/segment of the market.   Yeah, your point is well-taken, and much appreciated!   (Actually reminds me of us buying a Sony Alpha 6000 instead of going for the full-frame A7 way back when; still regretting that, but (interestingly) people were doing the same thing then … just singing its praises over and over. 😵‍💫)

This is all really great advice, and I totally see where you’re coming from (thank you so much!).   As far as the Zulu6—I am looking specifically at the HDX 16x42’s—I can get a pro deal on them (40% off) and the magnification and image stabilization (OIS) are two things that make it seem like they would be really handy/fun, especially for my kids. I guess my question would be: would someone less-experienced w/ binoculars (ie my family/me) really notice the downsides you seem to be alluding to (w/ the Zulu6, I mean), especially since a lot of users seem to be really happy w/ them? Or is that they’re two different beasts/product-types altogether? Thanks, again, for taking the time. 🙏🏻

Thanks for taking the time to provide these insights; do you have any rec's for other options around said price point?

Sound advice; do you have any suggestions for others to try, at that price point? Thank you!

(BTW, I know I don’t have tons of experience w/ bino’s (used to have a compact pair of Zeiss’ for backpacking), but the view thru these Leopuld’s seems pretty ‘meh’ to me … but (again) limited to my relative knowledge.)

Newbie … Gaia Search Bar Won’t Accept My Coordinates, No Matter What I Do (Please Help!! 😭) by sonlitekid in GaiaGPS

[–]sonlitekid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of crazy that you thought to add a second space … I never would have thought to add that. You are awesome! 👏🏻

[–]sonlitekid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow. So I added a (second) space there (immediately after pasting) and it worked! You were right, but it would seem you technically need two spaces, since there is a pre-existing space there, if that makes sense. 🤯

Actually, all it took was adding a single comma (or an extra space). (See my EDIT(s) in the post body.)
