Expressing crop percentage correctly? I’m having trouble understanding how to express crop percentage. If I have a 16mp original image and I crop away 3/4 of the frame, do I describe that as a “”25% crop”? Directly from the image I’m thinking of: 16 mp original (Fujifilm x-e2, apsc) and the final cropped version is 3.28mb. What crop is that? Thanks! submitted by /u/Embarrasse…

LPT: Use the ‘how many hours worked will this cost me’ mental shortcut correctly We often think, “that $60 game is only 3 hours of work at $20/hr.” But try this instead: After setting aside all budgeted expenses, let’s say you have $200 left each month. Divide that by your work hours, like 160 hours/month: $200 / 160 hours = $1.25/hour (your true earnings per hour). Now, check the real cost: $60 item / $1.25/hour = 48 ho…

do I understand capital gain tax correctly? So say I have 100K in my stock portfolio and after a year it grows to 150k. If I sell 50k worth of my portfolio it will be taxed but as a long term capital gain tax rate.

Am I understanding this correctly that my employer is offering a 4% match, 100% invested, as well as profit sharing? If so, is this a good plan? Edit: Title should say “100% vested” not “100% invested” lol I’m 29 and only make about 50k a year at a commission based job tat pays an 8$/hour base pay. I’m expecting to make more as I get better at the job. Apparently I can put a percentage towards both pre-tax and post-tax. I’m planning on contributing a total of 8%, I think. Should all of t…

Misheard lyrics you refuse to sing correctly? My favorite is “Give me a Laser” not “Kyrie Eleison”. “Give me a Laser” down the road that I must travel “Give me a Laser” through the darkness of the night “Give me a Laser” where I’m going, will you follow? “Give me a Laser” on a highway in the night. These fake lyrics made sense because the laser was giving direction down the road, through …

Did I buy correctly? So I dabbled in photography for most of my late adolescence, owning a Nikon D300 but traded it in when I lost interest. I’m now looking to pick back up but it seems like there is just a gargantuan amount of choice within the market. I ended up choosing a Fujifilm X-T2 and a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8. I’m looking to get a prime when the budget allows …

A Gentleman in Moscow is one of the only series to do flashbacks correctly One of my issues with flashbacks as they’re usually done is that you see it from a third person perspective. Since it’s a memory told by a particular person, it should be done from a first person perspective. Which will from time to time take me out of the story. Yet during A Gentleman in Moscow, the flashbacks were shown through the first perso…

LPT: Practice active listening by summarizing what someone has said before responding. It shows you value their perspective and ensures you understand them correctly. Just had a lightbulb moment while chatting with a friend. You know how sometimes we get so caught up in our own thoughts that we forget to really listen to what the other person is saying? Well, I’ve got a little trick that’s been helping me out: summarize what they’ve said before responding. It’s not only a sign of respect for their perspective…

Am I calculating this correctly?? Seems too good to be true …. EDIT: I did in-fact have a glaring math error in my original post. I corrected it; but even with the correction it still seems like this would be a great deal… PenFed has an online savings account that currently yields a meh 3% APY. However, they’re offering a $150 bonus for each $10k deposited by the end of this year, and held in the account …

I’m having a lot of trouble getting the sky exposed correctly in my photos. Would an ND filter help? I absolutely adore my hoya starburst filter and the effect it has on the light, but shooting directly at a light source can make the rest of the shot a little funky. Any advice on this? submitted by /u/anthropocene_machine

Am I understanding capital gains tax correctly? If I retire to WA state on $1M and receive 40k in long term investments of QUALIFIED dividend stocks and I quit working altogether, I receive this 40k tax free am I right?
