Are 18% gray cards or color charts used much anymore outside of studio/product work? Do people use 18% gray for exposure anymore or are people just eyeballing it based on scene highlights? Same for color charts. submitted by /u/oopsiddiditagain2023

Third time mum got cancer. Uninsured. I don’t think I can do it anymore. For context, we are not American so any benefits or aid programs in the US are not applicable to us. She first got colon cancer during the pandemic. Then lung and brain cancer in late 2022. I had paid for both instances out of pocket since 2021. This had almost bankrupted me. I wiped out my life savings, accrued up to $10k in credit card debt a…

Pleeeease don’t tell me the Maybelline Hyper Easy Brush Tip Liner is discontinued. It’s not showing on all websites anymore…. (UK) This particular Maybelline eyeliner is wayyy better than a lot of higher end ones. I’ve tried Kat Von D, Charlotte Tilbury, Benefit, L’Oreal, Physicians Formula, NYX etc, and this one is the best. They do have a new Tattoo one. Are they the same…? submitted by /u/Potter_King

LPT: Huy Fong Sriracha (Rooster) doesn’t taste the same anymore because it isn’t the same. For the OG formula and taste try Underwood Ranch Sriracha Huy Fong Sriracha used Underwood Ranches California Red Peppers for over 10 years during its rise to fame. A few years ago Huy Fong ghosted Underwood Ranches and instead started sourcing their peppers from whatever Mexican grower will sell it to them the cheapest, thinking that it wouldn’t make a difference in taste. But any true fan of Sriracha…

I Tried a Vintage Mail Order Bodybuilding Course and There’s a Reason Nobody Does These Anymore “I CAN GIVE YOU MASSIVE ARMS, BROAD SHOULDERS, AND A GIANT SIZED CHEST IN JUST FOUR WEEKS,” the Body-Tone pamphlet promises. It is the “World’s Fastest Strength and Muscle Building System.” It cost $20 in the late 1950s, but I found the text of the program in the Stark Center Archives. I am ready to begin. Read more…

LPT: If you have been experiencing YouTube freezing the video player if you don’t turn off your Adblock, use Firefox. The warning wont show up anymore. I have found this tip elsewhere but I figured I’d share for anyone who hasn’t bothered looking up how to fix it. I have only tested it with Firefox but I imagine any non-Chromium browsers will work as well. Edit: useful information per u/MrFurebSS ⁠Open your browser and go to the Firefox Add-ons page. ⁠Search for the “Adblock Plus” add-on and…

Why are there no solos in pop songs (anymore)? I brought this up in another thread about how there are “zero bands” in the top of the charts. To clarify that quoted bit, many (though not all) of those songs will still be played by live musicians with instruments, but they are credited to just one person, the singer, and the other musicians may have no long-term association with that singer. …

People who like to rewatch series, do you ever worry about watching them too much to the point where you no longer enjoy it anymore? There are certain series (and movies as well) that I usually watch every other year. I enjoy watching them, and look forward to it, but always feel bad about watching them so often in fear of wearing them out. There’s a series that I watch every other November. It has a special memory to me, but am considering skipping it this year because I’ve …

Some Of Jeep’s Best Customers Simply Can’t Afford The Brand Anymore Jeep has been on a premium push the last few years.

I need to try new products mine are simply not working for me anymore I need foundation, setting powder and concealer that are sheer to medium coverage and ACTUALLY look like skin. I’m tired of influencers lying to me just to get their ad commission 😭. I would prefer drugstore brands that I could get at Walmart or target (preferably under 25 dollars 💸).

Does anyone swatch makeup for us anymore? I’m getting frustrated because I can’t find swatch videos of newer products. I remember back in the day, I could find swatches of anything compared to anything. It’s almost like swatch requests disappeared with the decay of Youtube. Now everyone’s on TikTok – but none of the TikTok girlies are swatching; maybe 3 shades if you’re lucky, even thou…

Is it me or are there not that many hits anymore? While driving and listening to the radio, I realized that I haven’t heard many hits in a minute. By this I mean, I haven’t heard a song that’s played like 4-5 times a day like back in the mid 2010s, and then you go to a mall and that songs played like 4-5 times and then you go to the grocery store and it’s played another 4-5 times. In addition t…
