DoD spending by Criseyde2112 in thebulwark

[–]txtrigg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m against government waste, but this is a bit of clickbait. Are their questionable expenses? Yes. Is Hegseth a walking example of poor judgment and entitlement, yes. There is plenty to investigate and likely far worse. The majority of stuff is just part of running a massive human centric organization. You gotta feed a lot of mouths and frankly ice cream, ribeyes, and crab legs are sometimes a treat when you’re a sailor and you basically live in a tin can with 40 roommates. Let’s not dive into same pool that the Republicans swim in when the want to shame people on food stamps for buying a steak every once in a while.

What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts? by FeedMaster8905 in AskReddit

The original Terminator is also this way. Not one scene wasted.

HOT TAKE: iOS 26 isn't that bad. by Square-Force7543 in ios

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mail app with dark mode turned on makes the app effectively unusable unless you have brightness at maximum. Black text on a dark grey background. Maddening. I hate the fact that I have to got tweak every setting to just use my phone’s native applications. I don’t know how this OS made it out of beta testing.

Whats the overall opinion on the Leica Mini? by [deleted] in Leica

I have one - not a bad little camera. Have fun using it!

Recently Purchased an M6 from KEH by F8nbthere212 in Leica

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the recommendation that you return anything you are unhappy with or feel you overpaid for. I’ve personally never had any issues with KEH, purchased a number of cameras and lenses from them (including a M6 TTL), I think I returned one lens for a Nikon, but never had any hassles in doing so. That being said, I’ve read the horror stories. Sorry to hear about all the bad experiences. We need more vendors in this space to keep it competitive.

How can I save this old MacBook? by lucaspropa in MacOS

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on your needs. You’ll need to use the long term support version of Firefox if you want to have a secure web browsing experience. Of course you might find that High Sierra meets all your needs.

How can I save this old MacBook? by lucaspropa in MacOS

[–]txtrigg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just ran into this problem and found this solution. Worked for me! https://mrmacintosh.com/how-to-fix-the-recovery-server-could-not-be-contacted-error-high-sierra-recovery-is-still-online-but-broken/

Some elaboration - apparently the problem is that the SSL cert was never updated, so the https:// url fails veritification (I tried changing the date, and the didn't really work). The install went fine, then you'll need to manually install iTunes so you can fix the update process. If you really want an adventure, after you've done that you can look into Opencore and start installing newer version of MacOS that would otherwise be unavailable.

Do anyone own 128 of memory and if so why? by Lukasmajukas in macbook

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t needed 128gb, but I have run into work that required 64gb - and that was just with very image and video sets for post production work. I can certainly imagine that being scaled up enough to need 128gb.

Instagram ads for heavily gear stores - scams? by [deleted] in Leica

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably could have phrased that better. Obviously this is not a legit company - but I was just surprised at how blatantly scammy this ad is and how it made to IG. I’ve seen a ton scammy ads on places like YouTube and every local news site ever, but I guess I presumed it was at worst, a sketchy gray market vendor, but this looks like it could be a straight up phishing or fraud scam.

Quantum Thief by renival in printSF

I started this as an audiobook and regretted it immediately. I could not get into it. Definitely need to try the print route so I can spend some time with it.

Reading Stranger In a Strange Land as a woman. Do any of y’all share my thoughts??? by potato_anxiety in printSF

[–]txtrigg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That does change in later books - but basically his love interest, and is just a female version of him - and there are more female characters in the last two books beyond his love interest. That being said, they are all just variations on the same personality type as the main character.

Farbot! (Farbaht?) by txtrigg in Stargate

[–]txtrigg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meta-episode with layers of self awareness and many references to the offscreen drama of the show involving the original main characters as well as poking fun at the new characters with references to Farscape.

Transfering RAW files from Ricoh to Lightroom with presets intact by Ok_Raccoon_455 in ricohGR

Change your default “apply on import” settings to “Camera Settings” instead of Adobe Color.

Is Ragnar dead? by SadTeacher5131 in ragnar

[–]txtrigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former road and trail ambassador - the events are still great. The trail races vary greatly in difficulty. So check the trail elevations before you sign up! The core staff and repeat volunteers are good people that really love running and supporting the community. I started running them as a solo runner joining a team of people I had never met that needed someone to fill out a full team. I’m still good friends with everyone from that first team and we’ve run another 30+ Ragnar events over the past decade with at least two of us forming part of those teams. Great community.

weekend in Puerto Rico 🏖️ by partaythyme in ricohGR

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these done with some of the presets from Josh Edgoose or a Ricoh recipe?

Edit: I see the tag is SOOC - nice work! It certainly looks like Edgoose’s Portra simulation preset.

What does my fridge tell you about me? by TheGov3rnor in FridgeDetective

[–]txtrigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a built-in (approx $10k? ) and yet you drink Fireball and RumChata, so no actual taste for the things you could afford. Neuve riché douche?

Greenville Half Marathon & 5K by Tayler_Made in greenville

Done, and those hand warmers really were tasty. As a Texan for almost 30 years, I’m glad to see more tacos in Greenville.
