That doesn't make sense though. How'd you get to 302? 302 times farther should only be about 302 light days away. It should be 365x4.25=1,551.25 light days farther from us.

How dare you disparage the amazing Fiero!

My sources aren't strong enough so I refuse to share them.

FTFY

My fridge because once a year it seems the coils freeze over.

Given that most cities have areas with varying proportions of people of different ethnicities, yeah it can be discriminatory. They just target certain neighborhoods and know that those are far more likely to be people of a certain background. Not saying they did or didn't do it here, but that's how they can do things like that.

Exactly. And then we are back to the original issue of where the scene is already at. If you insist on charging money people have an excuse to not go. If it's free people can just come to try it out. There's a reason this problem has not been solved yet.

I would point out that I mentioned I ran a club before. The venue is the issue. It's very hard to find somewhere we can use for free. I'm working on getting my garage set up to be able to host, but I don't really want to open up my house to the public and it's small anyway. I'm very aware of how to do it, it's just not practical.

I feel this hard. I swing dance and my local scene sucks. There's no college club for the scene to be based around so everyone who organizes and teaches is out to make money from it. I ran my college club (which was open to community members) and I've had them ask me how to increase involvement and they really don't like it when I tell them it's far too expensive to dance around here.

Regime, not administration.

Gonna need some sauce on that chief.

 

Can anyone help me solve this? I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch (I believe it's the original, I got it in 2019) and ever since my phone (S23 Ultra) last updated it doesn't save my notification settings. I like to have it set so that my watch still notifies me while I am on my phone and that when my watch is connected to my phone it silences notifications on my phone. I can still set that, but when I turn it off at night it resets the settings so every morning I have to open the wearable app and redo my settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

I'm looking at getting into photography and I'm trying to decide on what camera would be best for me. One of the primary things I'm interested in is nature photography when I'm out on hikes.

I spoke with someone I know into photography and he seemed to be pushing me towards full frame cameras. Given the prices for these cameras (I'm fine with used) it seems like I have to make a bit of a choice between older full frame and newer aps-c.

After doing some research here are the cameras I am currently considering:

Sony a7

Sony a7R II

Sony a6400 (or maybe a6500)

Nikon D800

Canon EOS 5D Mk III

Canon M50 Mk II

These are sort of organized by how interested in them I am. The pricing varies a bit for them, but with the cheaper ones I'd be able to get more lenses sooner and/or feel less bad about upgrading it in 2 years if I get really into it. So would the a7 or a7r be a good way to go to get a good balance of things or is something like a D800 still worth it today? Or is it just that worth it to have something like the a6400/6500 today to have newer features?
