Deep Funk

I leaned a great lesson a couple of weeks ago. If you are cooking for a large group do your prep work way ahead. 18 people is a lot more cooking and coordination than I thought. And it was only Julia Child grilled burgers! Those minced shallots are so good.

40mm dude, I love that focal length.

@Zed Bopp The D600 had a particular issue - I forget what it was but instead of fixing it they created the D610 and replaced D600's with it for free.

I love the 16mm (24mm) focal length. I think I'm getting the 50-140 next, prolly with the 2x tele extension.

I’ll see them next sunday at Hellfest in France. Last time was 2001 in Provinssi, Finland. Can’t wait either.

It might be the last concert of them I can actually visit. I am taking this chance to enjoy the moment.

I'm surprised he even made it into HTWFAIP. It's an insult to the memory of Big D!

YMO, are you sure you want to bring Thor into this?

I didn't know Banhammer was the Thor Hammer. Banhammer looks like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1-EiYgCubmM/maxresdefault.jpg

Many congratulations on your new job!!
Hope you find it interesting and that your co-workers are helpful and reasonable people.

I am going to enjoy every moment. The last few months at my previous job were a burden.

Thank you, you exploding star of sonic waves.

They might be pure cheese, but they’re also extremely talented and clearly don’t take themselves seriously. Listening to Gloryhammer can’t help but bring a smile to my face

Ah. I see her point.

;)

Do not let your soul be trained out bro. It is hypocritical to say that all the mess that follows is absolutely necessary. Later when you hit bottom the hypocrites say you are weak! Keep it real and do not lean into bs (negative outcomes).

Girls can be thoughtless. I don't think they realize how difficult it is for someone to summon up the courage to ask them out.
Don't let a rejection bring you down, keep cheerfully asking other girls. There are several lovely ones just waiting for your paths to cross and to meet you.

Went for more expensive Galbani ricotta this time. Pleasantly surprised.

BTW, i use the Jim Lahey ricotta recipe. I have it typed up so send a PM if anyone is interested

Wow, I see from your post that pasta trainee is for real! great.

Just now going to tip some the ordinary stuff out of a packet, I'm afraid.

Haven't heard her in decades. Which was on purpose, after the first time... but I guess she may be different now: I know I am!

You must be a weather god. Thank you.

The XT100 isn't sealed. However, lots of Fuji owners go out in the rain and dusty areas with non-sealed models. The X100 series comes to mind. I've gone out with my X100F, gotten it all rained on, no problems. Just wipe off with a dry cloth, and of course don't submerge it.

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of chocolate croissants.

Rossetta Stoned > Vicarious. Don't mean to go total fanboy here but I have always enjoyed the direction that band has been evolving... and yet Ænima has always been my favorite.

^Whoops brain fairt. Meant Faaip De Oiad, the ridiculous alien abduction one.

I'm excited to hear it, but even 10,000 Days took long to come out. And they pretty much did Lateralus all over again with crappier pacing. Haven't heard the new tracks, but it would've been cool for them to do a complete left turn like Kid A, after all these years. But yeah, a good prog rock record is quite enough at this point.
