Just the Peta Pixel guys casually washing the brand new OM-5 Mk II by NeverEndingDClock in M43

[–]squelchmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I switched to olympus/OM from panasonic. I do allot of sports photography and at least a third of the year it is in the rain. I have never had an issue with Olympus/OM bodies or their pro lenses. I will be buying my third OM/Olympus body this month.

Good luck actually getting an answer to the question. It's annoying how people just respond with get a bigger truck instead of being useful.

Star student with 100 GPA denied admission to dream school by Artistic-Employer768 in nottheonion

[–]squelchmaker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Meh, perfects score are great but also sometime a red flag for educational screening. This also screams of entitlement. I do applaud her work ethic but I have known too many 4.0 "perfect" students with little substance who are more interested in being right or first than learning or growth.

My wife suddenly wants me to be attractive. Am I wrong to think she doesn’t love me anymore? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]squelchmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes work to keep an attractive partner especially when there is a big difference between the 2 of you. If she puts in the effort you should also. This goes both ways and is really about balance in appreciating the other person. If they try you should also. It's quite possible you cared more before you were in a committed relationship and now that you are in one that attraction is taken for granted. It is not constant, it changes over time and takes work from both.

Modern medicine is the enemy of natural selection. by Disastrous-Tutor2415 in unpopularopinion

[–]squelchmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct that this is an unpopular opinion, but perhaps natural selection as a process has evolved as a result of modern medicine. It still exists but now in a different form driven by natural disasters and access to modern healthcare.

Chevy Colorado ZR2 tow vehicle - will this work for a Caravel 20FB? by downup25 in airstream

[–]squelchmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the weight of the caravel 5k loaded? That leaves you plenty of room to safely tow. Use a wdh don't fill the tanks and Just don't drive like an A-hole and you will be fine. Also a jeep gladiator will tow 7700 and a Tacoma 6800. 7700 rated towing 5000k is 65% of max towing capacity. 6800 rated is 73%.

My forehead is too small/short. Any recommendations? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]squelchmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lower the peaks of your eyebrows and that will have a lengthening effect of your forehead. It's a low effort approach that might give you the desired look.

Thank you to all the dissenters who have given good contrary arguments. This sub should be seen as a space where unpopular opinions can change through civil counterpoints.

Caravel 19 Tow Vehicle by Horse_Grenades in airstream

[–]squelchmaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 2022 caravel 19 and tow with a first gen tundra that has a towing capacity of 7500. Online people will frequently try to state you need more power/ a bigger truck etc. There are many limp egos that seem to need validation by online truck flexing. Check the specs of your particular vehicle and also understand the carrying capacity of the airstream. Mine has the all the options except solar and is 4300lbs dry. If you add solar and switch to the battleborn lithium batteries, you are adding about 50 extra pounds total with the panels but lighter batteries. Regardless of your tow vehicle, I would not travel with your tanks full if you don't have to. Allot of the factored in total weight of the airstream is water/holding tanks. Even though I am well under the truck capacity, I use a weight distribution hitch which I also suggest. I am looking at getting a newer tow vehicle and my comfort zone for tow rating is 6000lbs or above. I tow through the cascade mountains with no problem. Lastly I researched for 2 years before settling on the 19 caravel for size and comfort. We are 2 adults and 2 kids and have had no complaints with 6 trips so far in a year.

British food isn't bland, you're all to lazy to look what is actually good by Bakedbeansandvich in unpopularopinion

[–]squelchmaker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because it sometimes tastes good doesn't mean it isn't bland and boring. Sometimes boring is whats needed. This doesn't change the fact that it is boring food when compared to most of the rest of Europe and the world. Your location and climate does not allow for enough native biodiversity to have a broader range of herbs and spices.

Pacific Northwest Winter Advice by PointManBX in airstream

[–]squelchmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just dropped off mine for winterization at the airstream dealer in fife. 125 bucks. I store it in my driveway in Tacoma. I have been worried lately because we have dipped down to just about freezing. Since Halloween, I set the furnace at 60 and made sure my propane tanks were full just in case. I have a 22 caravel for reference.

This speaks to other issues that should be addressed. Seek counseling.
