A shot of 18yo whiskey goes well after a tough couple of days

  May future days only allow for a good drink to enhance fun moments, not for it to blunt shitty ones. Whiskey that old should be savoured, hah.

  I also find alcohol works best after moments of heightened dread

  Apart from Orthodox Jews at a kiddush, I have never seen a fellow drink only "a shot." Once, my host at a pre-wedding dinner party poured me (the best man) and also his brother-in-law, sitting next to me, *half* a shot. I just said, "Would you mind passing the bottle down to this end of the table? Thanks!" So it worked out fine.

  don’t look at the cinematography side of the fence! Man, I was lusting for the Zeiss primes shortly after Vincent Laforet did Reverie on 5DMk2 back in 2009.

  Even Sony has bargain-price 50s (APS-C and FF). It isn't all GM!
  
  I love my FE85/1.8 (on an APC-C camera). And I have a Samyang 135 that is something like 1/3rd of the price of the fancy Sony.
  
  Tamron and Sigma (to name but two) also make lenses for Sony E-mount.
  
  Film? Thanks, but no, my once-loved OM1n is staying in its museum cupboard corner

  If you can find a good deal on a Nikon D700 with some old Nikkor/Nikon manual focus lenses, jump on that. Otherwise Pentax tends to slip through the radar because Pentax was never good at marketing...

  Funny thing though - experimenting with a switch to decaf was what got me seriously into specialty coffee around 20 years ago, had a hard time finding really good decaf so I started roasting beans myself in a quest to find better on a budget (wife was in med school).

Was on decaf for a long while. Now back to the regular stuff. The veil is lifted.

  So then:
  
  Decaf = Unmodded HD650 + ok amp
  Regular = JAR650 + DNA Stellaris?

  I love the taste of coffee but I can't go back. Decaf is the gateway drug to the dark roasted black hole. Nothing like falling off the wagon now and again though, as long as you get immediately back on.
