i was driven by an uber driver yesterday who seriously thought cycling should be illegal.
his rationale was that bicycles are "unregistered vehicles and so if they cause accident who is going to pay?!" when i pointed out that probably they should pay just as anyone else he just dismissed it like this: "that is not possible. if a cyclist crashes into me and kills me who is gonna pay me?!" i was speechless after that.
only one way to find out
actually i realised later i might have been using promaster spectrum 28mm f2.8 for this particular shot.
i also like the pentax kit lens but it appears to have quite bad coma when it's open to low stops... considering trying something different.
maybe you are right... if developing your skills is what you consiously do then you can do it faster with digital. that's of course, not what most people taking pictures want.
i would still argue that the lessons stick better if you need to put more effort in and slowing down is a benefit in its own right.
i agree with you. once you got the basics down you will always be more productive with digital. that is if the pictures are what you are after rather than the process of making them - because search for beauty and relax are worthy goals on their own.
one problem is that it is actually harder to learn if pushing the button is all you do... but that's not necessarily the issue of digital vs. analog...
nice metaphore to how people use the social media nowdays... they spill their mind into a public discussion forum and then they are pissed at the "reply guy problem" and try to come up with ways to stop people from talking instead of adjusting their expectations... i get it - everyone wants to be treated nicely but come on!
you are technically right... but, i mean... comments like this are the reason why this is not a place for any serious discussion. you just have to find any crack or disambiguity to attack and destroy anyone you disagree with, don't you?
Do you think them having kids would change that perspective?
yes, i do. i don't doubt there are some actual abusive parents out there but many more of the conflicts between kids and their parents is caused by the kids having their child perspective. and sadly, mentally developing to the point where the understand what their parents are going through typically takes longer than it takes for the relationship to be destroyed. therefore it is mostly up to the parents to keep it together but they are just people. and their kids talking shit with other kids about them surely does not help...
those people clearly don't have kids of their own.
the mom is not "having beef" with you kid, she's lost her life and her mind and cracked.
and the dad was on his third mental breakdown that day looking for anything to rationalize why he's hyperventilating.
it was not the kids fault and any parent taking it out on their own kid is fucked, but they are not irrational monsters either.
i mean each of the individual programs that can load your keepass keyring is a password manager.
the keyring itself isn't a password manager and the main reason why i use it is because each of the individual programs that i actually use to open it (keepassxc on windows, keepassdroid on my phone, keeweb hosted on my vps on other devices...) can use the same file with the same specification that is shared everywhere.
i'm not bound to any particular program with a particular set of features. just use anything that can open that file format from a place where i choose to host it.
keepass
it's technically no password manager but an encrypted file format.
there are dozens of apps that will work on any platform, including soft keyboard with "password" button for smartphone that will just work everywhere and browser extensions, static website, apps that allow you to use your yubikey to unlock and anything else. you can host your vault anywhere including a google drive or your own webdav or ftp server and keep local copies on your devices synchronized...
the only way you get money is by randomly scattered gigs in between... you got a tip on your uber eats delivery! treat yourself to a breakfast.
