Oh man, it totally is. Unfortunately, I live in probably one of the worst places for night photography - between the humidity and the city lights, it’s very hard to get anything decent. (Check out Florida on one of the light pollution maps. Even the darkest places aren’t really all that dark - I’ve never seen the…

I’m no expert, but most of what my camera does (I have a Canon so not the same, unfortunately) is noise reduction and some color adjustments between the RAW and jpg version assuming I don’t use any of the special modes. Have you tried playing with the white balance? I would do that and perhaps playing with the colors…

Another thing you can do, assuming you have a phone that supports it, is to get a USB OTG adapter and get an app that can drive the camera from the phone. My favorite is DSL Controller. It can remotely trigger the shutter, and you can even do fancy stuff like time lapses much more easily.

Wow, I seriously had no idea this is a thing. I wonder if these folks are aware that highly alkaline things are just as harmful as highly acidic things. Think bleach or drain cleaner. By their logic, if you drink that you’ll have super powers and live to be 175!

What?? Where was that? it’s been in the 80's here almost every day for months. There was a day or two where it got chilly enough for a light jacket but it didn’t last long.

Um no, the cold weather is the only thing that makes living here bearable! Nice and cool but no snow - perfect. Don’t get me wrong... I like snow. But only to visit... I don’t ever want to live in it.

Part of me really misses that dynamic. Flipping through the channels on a lazy afternoon and finding a movie that wasn’t high art, but sure was fun and watching it just because. I’ve had a lot of days lately where the flood of choices on Netflix/Hulu largely just leaves me not really wanting to watch anything.

Yep, very true. The only time I knew for sure why I didn’t get a job was when I was a teenager applying for a call center gig. They were doing open interviews that day so I went with a friend of mine to apply together. They went out of their way to send someone out to me to tell me in broken Spanish that they weren’t…

Honestly, I think the real problem is supply, not demand. Yeah, there probably exists some discrimination, but to assume that ALL hiring managers are racist and sexist is a bit insane. Yeah, all things being equal a workforce in the tech sector should look like a cross section of the pool they’re hiring from (the pool…

I once got berated by a parent for showing a video of a CGI dancing purple hippo that was wearing a sumo style bottom... They claimed it was sexual and therefore inappropriate for children. How about, um, no. Kids don’t think sex when they see a purple, cartoon butt - they see “butts are funny!”. Kids absolutely…

Yeah, these look way too heavy for where I live - it’s currently 84 F outside but sometimes it gets as cold as 40! Even on the coldest day those look like they might trigger spontaneous combustion.

I think the point is that such a fee to an executive is the injustice - precisely because they can probably raid their couch cushions for the money. They’re probably going to get multiples of that for their bonus next year.

Yeah, but we also have a president-elect who likes to repeat and generate conspiracy theories himself... I’m hoping you’re right, though.

They’ll surely just move on to another version of snake oil. Or, more likely, tell their followers to disregard the labeling if it comes up at all.

Yeah, honestly the only time I feel it’s appropriate to brag about something is in a job interview - and then it should be as matter of fact and straightforward as possible. I.e. “I have 5 years experience with Java; I worked on Project A & Project B and earned Reward C at my previous job.”

“Man, I never have any free time anymore. All those dates I’m going on are just sucking up all my time.”

I’ve always chalked it up to a reaction to the feeling of having wasted one’s money so they have to justify it to themselves and defend the purchase. I imagine that console fanboy-ism comes down to that as well.

I haven’t watched anime in years and one of the biggest reasons is this. Although I’m a straight male, I don’t find anime nudity to be a turn on so when the fanservice hits, it’s annoying as hell. The last series I watched was mostly a martial arts anime wherein female characters weren’t even scantily clad in general…

I also detest gmails’ obsession with “archiving” email. It has gotten better recently but there was a time where it was a huge pain to get anything to actually delete. No, Google, I don’t need to keep that email about Amazon’s gold box deal of the day for the rest of time. Don’t get me started on feature disparity…

While that robot is awesome and all, in all fairness a three-legged mule can parkour better than me, so it’s kind of a silly comparison...
