yesterday, two miles away from the car, it began raining while the dog and i were playing at the park. It didn't begin pouring on us until I was nearly to the parking lot and could see my car.
-
today, at the same park, my dog got to play with two deer in the middle of a field! they sniffed and looked at each other, all bouncing around timidly. It was great until they ran off and she chased after. 1/4 mile later, the smile on her face was worth it.
- I sometimes have baby deer hang out in my back yard in the summer. They play chase just like puppies. It's the sweetest thing you've ever seen.monNom
- backlit deer, steam from the dew on the grass rising in the light, i felt like a disney princess.imbecile
- Aww lolsea_sea
- I get deer in my garden most days around sunset. If you don't approach them they just hang.

- Great experience. Dogs don’t smile.monospaced
- might want to look into that, dogs have evolved muscles in their face that wolves do not have to communicate with humansimbecile
- bright eyes and upturned mouth corners do a smile make. So she smiles at me regardless of your understanding.imbecile

You're offered nearly $1B USD to pack up and go play your game on basically the other side of the planet for a crowd you do not know, aren't really familiar w/their culture and they're not exactly 'pals' w/the country / continents you're coming from... do you do it?
To make it more realistic... You're making $90K in NYC as an AD and that far off distant land offers you $1M+ a year... do you do it?
- I would.shapesalad
- I would need to know more information, but try it out for a year.bezoar
- Get a signing bonus to prove there's money. Don't give them your passport. Spend some of that 1M on a local fixer to watch out for your interests.monNom
- Don't expect that laws or attitudes towards employees are going to be the same as the US. For instance: Expats flee Dubai as they are essentially serfs there.monNom
- You were offered over a million dollars a year doing design?
What even... what?scarabin - short-term contract basis only. salary is seperate from expenses. job pays lodging and food... or is this about lebron james playing basketball in china?imbecile
- Lolz... I'm not being offered a thing... this is a real-life PGA scenario. I left out that you might be shamed / shunned by friends for taking the deal.PonyBoy

- Didn't mean to make it sound like there was some big AD job—I just dumbed down the scenario to something more realistic for an AD to understand...PonyBoy

- Woods' worth is $1B from beforedrgs
- You’re right, niko... one last caveat... you work for literal blood money!
A number of players are doing this... the PGA is banning them in response.PonyBoy - I will engage in whatever vile non-mortal or 3rd person suffering vice you want to engage in for $1Bn. I would literally suck the dick of a baby goat in Macau.Nairn

My two favourite co workers got laid off yesterday. The crypto bear market is real.

Here’s the ironic thing... working in London, I’ve never felt like my co workers have been interesting. Usually boring conversations about Netflix which I don’t watch or going out on sat night to binge drink to early liver failure.
Now I’m working 100% remote and co workers are super interesting, really good chats. Problem is... can’t meet them and go for a beer
/lunch as they are all over the planet...Ironic.

- funny you think you're above sharing societal pop culture. your coworkers never wanted to hang out with you regardless if you didn't want to hang out with themimbecile
- they only tell you to work 100% remote so you don't come to the office and make everyone miserable.face_melter

Our oldest cat (Pitxi, 7yo) is not back home in two days.
The last time, I saw her sunbathing in the garden.
Lately the stray cats bothered her more than necessary.
I'm going to close the cat flap and finally clean out the "fur-covered empire" that had become our garage.
Bye crazy-cat :(
- Give it a couple more days man. I have two friends who’s cats went missed for a week and then came home like nothing had even happened. Stay hopeful!Ianbolton
- I've also had cats disappear for more than 2 days that have returned... have faith!PonyBoy
- Ummm... She's not back, I'm going to agent-orange the placeOBBTKN
- a neighbour of mine's cat went missing for weeks, he finally came back as if nothing had happened. If a few lonely grannies in the area spoiling themfadein11

I got a lot of old Pentax lenses from a retiree. Does anyone of you have used an adapter from old lenses to DSLR?
I order one to test it. I guess the optics will be distorted and only manual mode will work...
- From what I've learned mounting FD lenses to a Canon R:
• Distortion can *usually* be mostly solved with using a lens profile from a more modern equivalentContinuity - For example, my FD 50 mm 1.4 SSC general corrects nicely if I use the EF 50 mm 1.4 lens profile in LR, with only a few minor subsequent tweaks.Continuity
- Otherwise, manual focussing is quite zen, after a while. Also, it forces you to learn zone focussing.Continuity
- As for adapters, I'm using one by Novoflex. Superb build quality, no play/wobble.
https://www.novoflex…Continuity - Awesome thanks!Salarrue
- I use a bunch of old Pentax lenses. Most sharp with very good contrast. Mild distortion that is easy to remove with camera-raw or lens-correction in photoshopmonNom
- For each lens, shoot a checkerboard or grid, then figure out the settings to remove lens distortion, and to fix chromatic aberration. Save your settings.monNom
- I've used the cheapest adapters and they worked fine. No need to spend a lot IMO.

Stop seeing this Ad > Inappropriate.
Every time I watch youtube. Will stop when advert is for something I'd part money for.
- Yup, I get the "Meet older woman" or "To little clothing" adds all the time. I select "Inappropriate" and then the same ads re appear every single time.utopian

I sold the neighbor's truck this weekend for 4x what he wanted in the first place. my take off this sale was as much as he thought he would sell it for in the first place. The look on his face when I handed him a fat envelope full of cash was awesome...
"I had no idea I could get this much."
-
Sidenote, sold some motorcycles for a friend this weekend, too. Ended up working on a friend's Jeep and neighbor's garage, but made money being a middle man for other people's sales.
In short, I got paid for not working the same weekend I worked without getting paid.

Do I want to be a car salesman now?
Doesn't run, might if you know what you're doing.
No lowballs, I know what I've got.I wonder if I could trade my way from a paperclip to a house.

I think I can finally put into words why the last decade feels different. I couldn't get a sense of what's in anymore. I thought it was because I was getting older, but then I realized: decentralization of trends -- in fashion, music, design, everything.
I will argue that after MTV's TRL died, there is no pop music anymore. Internet killed all trend-setting institutions. MTV's death is a sign in itself.
The trends of the past decades were absolute and all-sweeping, came from few sources and replaced each other rapidly. Current period is flowing very slowly and has no definition to it. I don't know if its good or bad...
Debate in groups of 3.
- I see an element of this for sure. There are trends but it seems that if they arise they are shorter lived and by fewer people. Maybe I’m saying the same thing.monospaced
- Maybe too many trends, but none of them are "in" -- in the old sense of the word, when everyone would do one thing, and then jump over to something newdrgs
- it just means you no longer have small group of people telling people what's trendy. or harder.pango
- you like what you like. stop following trends. unless it's your job to know whats trendy. then your job just got harder.pango
- Signs you’re all old farts threadnb
- I had more joy following trendsdrgs
- Shifting trends give a feeling of novelty and progress. The last 15 years have been completely frozen in timedrgs
- The long tail.palimpsest
- Since everything is on demand, can be personalized so much and the supply is greater, people care less about trends. That should be a good thing.CyBrainX
- but I'm not sure the results have been better. If you're willing to seek out what you like, you're way better off than decades ago.CyBrainX

- There are trends, but everything is incredibly fragmented these days. It's actually somewhat freeing, IMOjagara
- Trend rotation puts expiration on things, which is a good thing. Say, 1 decade of lilac hair is bearable. 3 decades? Nodrgs
