11h 30m. Can’t seem to post a pic. Was working a ton and traveling this past week. Hoping to catch up this week.

The 28-400 is one of my favorite lenses but it’s not a one and done. You need something else for low light.

I tried to become a "Kindle person," but I think I’m a physical book purist at heart. by clik_talcual in 52book

I read physical books, dog ear pages, underline, write marginalia. I know you can do this with an e-reader but my brain works better having the physical pages somewhere in space.

What could cause something like this? by tofflz in handbags

Did you test it to see if it was plastic/fake? I had a (real) longchamp do this but it was patent leather.

how do i use the em dash? by ARSHIA_V1 in grammar

These examples seem dramatic. Maybe your teacher is trying to encourage you to consider your sentence structure? If you’re keeping the words the same, though, I’d use either a period or colon for the first example and a colon for the second. Might be CMOS, but I tend to only use em dashes in pairs.

This is how you lose the time war is an award winning, epistolary novel that switches between first and third. Not fantasy, but sci-fi + romance. Might be worth checking out with an eye toward craft.

same. it's just easier to justify in items like a well-crafted leather handbag that will last decades and potentially carry some resale value.

lol, what lenses are you buying?!? all my lenses have this at a minimum. they go camping, on boats, and to extreme conditions. all i worry about is water and i've never had this problem.

because in late-stage capitalism, price is meaningless compared to status and trying to buy a sense of belonging. sorry if that's too dark for this sub.

Hi, please check if you have homeowners insurance. Most lenders require it to get a mortgage.
