  1. You should look at sample images online, prefably with semi-consistent subjects. Some people don't like Sony's JPEGs, for example.
  2. This is something you have to find out for yourself; eg I cannot stand using Canon cameras in general, Sonys have their annoyances. Love Nikon, Fujifilm and Panasonics. If there's a store or a rental service I suggest you use those to spend some time with the camera.
  3. Despite what some might say, all cameras can do decent in low-light. The ones with bigger sensors just do better than decent. You're off to a good start with your choice of lens too, picking a versatile bright zoom.
  4. Cameras can last a long-time if they're not abused (too much). There are still plastic fantastics from the film era that are still working (which have more moving parts and thus more places that can fail).

Yea, one thing I feel is that vegans really are letting perfect be the enemy of good. While I do empathise and am eating less meat myself, I feel like screeching on people being omnis is missing the forest for the trees; if most people did like what you mentioned, eating meat once a week, that's 6/7th less animals slaughtered. Along with the reductions in emissions and whatever environmental impact too, of rearing so many animals for their meat.

Odd behaviour: Blocking a domain also makes a thread disappear. Can't seem to find a common link, ( kbin.social )

As some of you may know, szmer.info is a domain that's basically full of spammers, so I blocked it. However upon doing so a thread (https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/344185/I-m-worried-that-in-the-future-we-will-be-forced) I was reading basically disappeared from my feed, and on reloading it all the comments...

Because of the power consumed, don't expect any decent photo printer to last long on battery. They'll be AC-powered most of the time.

I was sleeping. Because you know, timezones and it was pretty much in the night for me.

I think Kbin isn't, because of bandwidth/CPU concerns.

We're early adopters. Early adopters have a higher tolerance for (and ability to deal with) things like bugs, confusing UI, uncertainty, and probably continual change for the short term.

Not to mention, a lack of content. While it's populating nicely it's still not like Reddit, especially for niche subjects. You definitely have to endure a lot of shouting in the wind situations while this builds up.

Did this site live and die in 4 days?

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...

The irony of being a Trekkie but fearing strange new worlds.
