wow 1500 bucks for a lens? man i am in the wrong business

You're into cameras?

We design installs for security cameras but no, not on the level you use them...not even close.

[Tasty]

Ah.

Yeah, I mean it's all relative. The RED Epic is like $20k or whatever. For the price, DSLRs can produce some damn good looking videos. The 5D Mk. II was used for some shots of The Avengers, which is crazy to me.

[Tasty]

Holy shit I just realized that the 50mm lens I just rented isn't compatible with the T2i.

GUESS I'M RENTING THAT 5D AFTER ALL

Edit- How much of a fucking dumbass can I be, it totally is compatible. Now I need a refund on that 5D rental.

Edit 2- I fucking hate my life ugh

I have been dealing with my mom's computers all week. She has an ancient iMac that she wants to give to somebody else, so I used her initial install disks to restore it to factory settings. She has a brand-new iMac that I have set up with all kinds of shortcuts for her now.

My stepdad, deceased, had an older Windows XP machine, which I had planned to either overwrite with Linux, or physically disable the hard disk drive for privacy and identity theft concerns.

I have been using his new-ish Win8 machine all week. It has been a constant struggle, because  it does so many things differently than any previous version of Windows. But I wanted to get rid of my Steam and XBL account on it so that none of my information remained on this computer that I'd never see again. But for some reason it had conflated my account with the local account of my stepfather, so when I deleted my stuff, it deleted his stuff too.

Is there anyway to recover an account in Windows 8?

system restore.

Bout to turn down 6 figures to make less than half of that

system restore.

Thanks. That's actually the first thing I looked at, and it appeared to reset things to factory defaults, and the other thing named similarly appeared to be a bit of proprietary HP software, which wanted me to make a journal from which I would have a starting place. A little bit too late for that, HP.

What kind of system restore are you talking about?

Working with my relatively new offshore counter part on a project proposal and he saw my bill rate for the first time and was like

 

Poor guy. It'd better not cause drama.

Should have just been a bit condescending about purchasing power in 3rd world countries and how in reality he is living better than you are.

Ate Chipotle twice yesterday. My ass wondering what it did to offend me brehs

I think I might suck at DE shaving.  Every time I get a spot of razor burn.  An alum block helps, but once that and moisturizer wear off, the burn comes back (usually at night or the next morning)

Do you have a patch of hair that grows in all directions? That's usually what causes me irritation.

I have two cats. Sly is 15 and a half and was my dad's cat before he died in 2007. Pico was my cat and is about 14. I have taken care of them since he passed away. They are extremely important to me.

Two weeks ago Pico had some bad rot on his front fang and got the tooth removed. The blood test before the oral surgery uncovered that he was diabetic. So I started giving him insulin and also antibiotics for the giant, deep hole in his gum.

After about 5 days he became extremely lethargic with labored breathing. Some complication had caused a large amount of fluid to be produced in his chest cavity and he was operating at something like 20% lung capacity. The vet said he would have died overnight had I not called in for an emergency visit. He was on IV for a day or two, got his chest tapped, they thought it was cancer. They gave more antibiotics and a diuretic.

For another week he kind of limped along, not in great shape but getting a little bit better each day. The vet assumed he had died since I didn't call with another emergency. Yesterday I took him in for a follow-up and they found that the fluid had almost completely vanished and he was no longer on daily death watch. They called it a miracle and said he is completely out of the woods. Last night I felt at peace for the first time in two weeks.

Today I woke up and Sly was panting and had lost use of her rear legs. She had a blood clot in the rear part of her body. Her rear feet were ice cold and had no pulse. I rushed her to the vet where they administered an IV and gave an extremely negative outlook, even more negative than Pico.

Still waiting to hear how that is going. Her recovery will be long, if at all, otherwise I may have to put her to sleep.

$1549 according to Amazon. I mean, I could almost definitely find it a little cheaper if I looked, and f1.4 and f1.8 are exponentially cheaper (the latter is like $125 to buy lol), but I need dat hipster bokeh. Plus low light is much much better with the higher* f-stop.

*Flubbed this, 1.2 is actually higher than 1.8 since it's f/1.2, as in the aperture divided by 1.2. Always get that confused.

Have you actually tried the 1,8? Because it's quite capable of bokeh effects and in general offers a lot of bang for the buck.

It's on my wishlist, will probably buy it soon cause yeah, it is cheeeaaaap.

Low light is really where the 1.2 shines and that's basically what you're paying for.

I'm really sorry, AV.  I hope she pulls through.

nah, i think I'm just bad at angling it against the grain and occasionally I press a bit.

My wife's grandmother just had a massive stroke and it looks like she won't make it through the weekend.  She's the one who helped get my business off the ground and always supported the both of us in whatever we did.   :'(

[Steve Contra]

There really isn't a best except for she goes quickly without pain.  She has a pretty strict no life support in place.  I just hope my wife can see her one last time.

[Brehvolution]

My condolences to you and your wife, Steve.

[Human Snorenado]

Ouch. Condolences to you and Mrs. Contra, man. Sorry.

OMG you poor thing. Looks so painful.  :'(

[Steve Contra]

So fucking painful.  Plus the added humiliation of my wife laughing at me while I was trying to wash my eye out.

[TakingBackSunday]

when I handled those ghost peppers last year, I took a shit and wiped.  Fingers touched my asshole

 

[Madrun Badrun]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to prevent finger to butthole contact with the liberal use of toilet paper while wiping, spicy fingers or not.   Let alone fingers. 

[nudemacusers]

sorry to hear about the grandmother, steve.

in brandnew's defense, wiping his asshole and fingers touching his asshole could be two entirely separate events. might not even be his fingers

Ouch... really sorry to hear that, Steve.  :'(

[I'm a Puppy!]

I swear this is the conversation I just had.

Singapore: "So Puppy, we have so many metrics to use. Like Total Available and On Hand. Which do we use when?"
Me: "Well, whichever one is appropriate."
Singapore: "So Available?"
Me: "Well, if that's what you're looking for then yes. But there are going to be times where you want to know what you have and how much room you're taking up in which case 'On Hand' is more appropriate. It's rather simple. Available means that it's available to sell, On hand is everything you have"
S: "I don't think you understand how retail works. We sell what we have."
Me: "Not everything. For example, floor models."
S: "We sell those too."
Me: "Ok bad example, Let's say I just received 20 beds in the back."
S: "OK"
Me: "I have 20 beds to sell, and 20 on hand because that's what I have. OK?"
S: "Ok"
Me: "Let's say that someone then comes in and buys 5 but they haven't picked them up and wont for a week. OK?"
S: "OK"
Me: "So your Available to sell is 15 because you can't sell those 5 again. But your on hand is 20 because those 5 you sold are still taking up space in the back."
S:".......I don't think you understand how retail works."
 

[nudemacusers]

I just found out I left my USB drive on campus. Got home, wasn't in my backpack . All my schoolwork's on there, which isn't a big deal atm because I only have one paper left this semester (that I was putting in gradual effort over the past month in order to ease the workload: "Fuck were you thinking? " -YHWH) but this is a total pain in the ass and the shit cherry on a shit past two days.

go from zero physical activity to walking daily to longer walks to jogging to running/couch-to-5k, oh my god i'm doing great and getting in the best shape of my life!!! AAAaaaaaaaaannnnddd shin splints  :'(

just spent a couple hours reading about the millions of possible causes and cures, gotta try em all I guess

[Mupepe]

the most common way shin splints go away are by running/walking more and building up your supporting leg muscles.

[TakingBackSunday]

yeah I had them real bad for around a year. they've gone away lately though
