    I'm having lunch with an old friend, and he kept sniffling while eating. I was starting to get grossed out, and asked if he needed to blow his nose at the bathroom but he said it must have been some allergies. Was I an ass to get grossed out?

    i was gifted some cultured butter made by amish folks. was excited for it to blow my mind or something but it tastes like how a cow smells.

    • nastydirtydesign
    • its fermented? how old is it? its made in the winter?yurimon
    • The best time for raw butter is late spring through to late summer, early fall. cows eat only grass n its nutrition value is higher. should be a bright yellowyurimon

    Today I'm really feeling the creative burnout.
    I woke up hating my job and I really don't give a shit about your logo or whatever creative "urgency" you think you have to tell random people about your shitty business or service.

    And I'm just ranting, I don't care about ways to get inspired and blah blah blah, save that shit for your interns.

    Can you be friends with a woman you're not attracted to?

    Like you meet, you have common interests and stuff and then get the feeling she's kind of into you off of a sudden, but you don't want to give that impression or lead her on, so you kind of stop being so nice and friendly, so then it gets weird?

    Anyone know much about camera lenses?
    I'm looking to change my lens from 50mm to either a 24mm or 40mm lens to work in a smaller confined area of 4'x4' for product photography shots. I need to get more background in my shots, but I'm worried about getting distortion with a 24mm lens. I wonder if a 40mm will make a difference to the 50mm lens. Any thoughts of whether a 24mm or 40mm lens might be better?

    • What size sensor is it? 24mm is much wider than 50mm and will change the appearance of the products a lot.nb
    • If you want to get it perfect, find someone with a cheap zoom you can borrow, and test the different focal lengths.nb
    • maybe rent the 40mm option from a shop to get a real test.capn_ron
    • How big is the background? What's the set up like?pango
    • Sensor size APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm)?
      ********
    • never thought about renting lenses before.
      ********
    • Background and table is both 2'x4' which gives me 4'x4' of space for my tripod.
      ********
    • renting can be pretty cheap for lenses that aren't too expensive.capn_ron
    • i estimate renting costs about 12% of the lens. i think using a return policy could be cheaper as long as there is no shipping or restocking costs.
      ********
    • judging from the description of your set up.... you might actually want something higher focal point. 70mm and up.pango
    • set the camera as far as you have can. Cuz lens with higher focal point actually magnifies the background relatively.pango
    • not sure if you need macro feature... depends on how big is the subject in relation to the background....?pango
    • Won't i need more space to shoot with a 70mm lens? I can barely move around with a 50mm
      ********
    • i do need closeups. I just got a used 'like new' 40mm lens for under $100, and saved $50. i just hope there's a useful difference between a 40mm and 50mm.
      ********
    • ...but now that you mentioned a 70mm lens and them being so pricey, i may have to think about renting!

    this equation is a math limerick:

    A dozen, a gross, and a score
    Plus three times the square root of four
    Divided by seven
    Plus five times eleven
    Is nine squared and not a bit more.

    I really don't want to leave the southwest :( No decisions have been made yet but I know my wife's not really digging it out here (she gave me a year)... she misses her family and the east terribly.

    I grew up back there too but I DO NOT want to move back there... I'd like to move more rural but not into a place that blasts you w/snow, sleet and other unholy plague-like weather such as 3 days of overcast skies in a row... ... no....no no no NOOOOO!

    • people are such PUSSIES about snow and weather..I lived in San Diego for 16 years and that shit got old.cbass99

    • sorry man, good luck with whatever you decide.cbass99
