I feel bad for this (possibly unpaid?) actor becoming a meme. She was duped the same as all the children and parents that bought tickets to that shitshow.

Thanks, Jeans Balls!

I think he may be the only person on earth that has more of a unibrow when he doesn’t even have eyebrows.

It happens to me more and more these days as well.

I think your memory might be failing on this, because we’re about the same age and autosave wasn’t really a common feature in the 90s. MacOS didn’t introduce autosave until OSX Lion in 2010, and Microsoft’s auto-recover (which was their only feature even close to autosave until office365) wasn’t introduced until the 2000s and didn’t work properly until 2007.

What are temperate winds?

I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.

Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.

Oh damn, all this time I thought we were talking EF. My bad. The 1.4 is still really light but just sticks out quite a bit more than the 1.8 RF. With the adapter, it will obviously stick out even more so it will feel a bit heavier in hand because the center of gravity will be more forward on the camera. Still tolerable and worth a try though.

I totally get what you mean about the pretend-buy, but just do it on Amazon rather than B&H or Adorama so you don’t have to feel bad borrowing from the big corp. I did that with quite a few gimbals when I was trying to find one, and it was the only affordable way to find the right one.

The 1.4 is only about 2-2.5x the price of the 1.8, and while it might not seem like the specs justify that price increase, I recommend renting it for a week (or “retail renting” buy/return) to better understand what it has to offer. It’s hard to understand the difference until you play with it a bit, and if you are digging the DOF of the 1.8, you might love that extra stop of the 1.4 double that amount. It all depends on your tastes as a photographer and the style that you’re going for, but you should really give it a spin to find out for yourself.

As for the 1.2, I have a friend that swears by the 1.2, but it’s because the speed and extra shallow depth of field is worth 12x the price of the 1.8 for him. It isn’t for me, though. There are very few situations where the 1.4 leaves me wanting the 1.2 (which is why I don’t own it), but there are soooo many times that I grab my 1.8 for its size and weight and wish I had brought my 1.4 instead. If you find yourself loving the 1.4 more than the 1.8, then you should at least try the 1.2 as well, because you won’t understand why it costs so much more until you have it on your camera.

Ohh yeah, I remember the first time I got my hands on that lens. I recommend everyone at least rent the F1.4 and F1.2 after they’ve tried the F1.8, because they will really helped me to understand why there’s so much cost difference between those 3 lenses.

You can say that again. I’ve never sympathized with a snail before, but Miguel got me right in the feels.

Interesting. Everyone I know that is aware of Meow Wold is outside of New Mexico, and we all know of its Santa Fe roots.

I disagree with that assumption.

The comment I was originally replying to was talking about the two most debated formats while ignoring ISO for “non-technical” people. Those two formats are that way because of the way people most commonly speak it in the region where they originated. I agree that the best written format is ISO, but it’s not commonly used outside of technical circles because it requires that you say it in a different order than you read it, which proves difficult for a lot of people.

It’s about the correct standard, which if exists, should be the same whether spoken or written. I’m saying that no such standard exists, and there are different correct ways depending on the situation/region.

Not trolling. I just think all three formats are correct and I can’t understand why everyone must demand their way is the only correct way.

So then we agree there is more than one correct date format.

When was the last time you spoke dates to anyone in ISO? If you don’t ever say the year before the month and day, then you intrinsically know ISO is not always the best format for the situation.

When was the last time you spoke a date in ISO format? Do you say “2023 February 29th?” If not, you intrinsically know ISO is not always the best format for the situation.

I’m not implying you can’t say “of” in English, but it’s common (and shorter) to say “Feb 29th.” It is not however correct to say “Feb 29th” in many other languages, which is why Europe made day first dates the regional standard. And just like with the imperial vs metric systems, England has shifted to more often use Europe’s standard rather than the one they came up with themselves.

1776/07/04, which is commonly written July 4th 1776 as well as 4th of July 1776. All three ways are correct. What’s your point?
