Looking for a good macro flash for the OM Systems OM-1. I’ve been shooting on the OM-1 doing mostly macro shots with the 60mm macro lens, and it’s been an absolute blast. Currently, I’m not using a flash at all and am looking to pick one up. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good macro flash for this camera? submitted by /u/RawCS

I need a good replacement for my holy grail: Mac Studio Fix Powder This is the only foundation I have used for 7+ years, but I’m getting tired of driving 45 minutes to buy it. I’m heading to Ulta right now, what’s a good similar powder?? What I love about this powder: Amazing coverage, but not cakey looking like a lot of powders I’ve tried.. It just seems seamless to my skin. submitted by /u/CapCandid95…

What research do you perform to ensure you stay in a good neighborhood? Ended up staying in the Tenderloin area of SF last year, unbeknownst to its incredibly down trodden situation. My GF and I had to traverse multiple blocks covered in human fences in all directions. So how do you avoid this? How do you look up an area? How do you filter hotel search engines to ensure you end up in safe, clean areas friendly to t…

I Cannot Overstate The Importance Of A Good Motorcycle Helmet Two weeks ago, I embarked on my first offroad ride with my BMW F800GS: 100 miles of mixed dirt, gravel, pavement, and mud, stretching from Massachusetts’s southern border to the town of Greenfield. I came back from that trip a better rider — one with experience riding in mud, gravel, and with limited traction. I also… Read more…

Rays Wheels Are Expensive, But It Turns Out There’s A Good Reason Why People spend a lot of time talking about forged wheels vs cast wheels. What does that mean, and why are forged wheels typically so much more expensive than cast ones? Is it because the traditionally unionized dwarf clans of the undermountain charge high hourly rates for their skills? Maybe, but actually, it’s because… Read more…

Considering M 4/3; seems like a good all around system Started with Nikon and currently using Fujifilm (T2, a bit dated). I am an artist (painter) and I get a lot of reference material from my photography, so I shoot everything, wildlife, still life, landscape, some portraits. I know I can get all of that with any camera system. I saw the Panasonic G9 on Amazon under 900 and clicked through, seems l…

In my Opinion the One Piece Live Action isn’t as Good as Most People are Saying it is I just watched the first episode of the One Piece live action and I can say with confidence that it isn’t that good. It’s definitely good for an anime adaptation, but I think that’s just because the bar is set so low. I want to say that I have nothing against the actors or the producers as people. I just feel as if the acting was mediocre compar…

Would renting a room in our home be a good way to save/pay off some debt? How common is this? My wife and I have been thinking about renting our master bedroom in order to be able to save some money and try to pay off some debt. It has been unoccupied since we purchased the home 3 years ago. We have a 3 year old and really can’t figure out if this would be a good idea or not. You know just bringing a stranger into our home. But we have …

What is a minor detail that kept you from finishing an otherwise good show? For me it was how often they say eachother’s names in Twin Peaks, I found it super distracting, I can’t explain why. Another was all the sex scenes in Banshee which were not only boring but also seemed to make up a quarter of each episode. I really enjoyed both of these shows but couldn’t lose myself in watching them because of these details and…

I know borrowing from your 401k isn’t really a good idea but… What if you borrow to pay off all the debt you have? It’s a much lower interest rate than going to a bank and getting a loan.. sounds like it’ll be much better borrowing from the 401k submitted by /u/trying_dobetter5

Is investing in US Treasury I bonds with a 6.89% interest rate a good move for saving money? I recently came across the US Treasury offering I bonds with a 6.89% interest rate, and it seems like a great opportunity to park some dollars and earn some returns. However, I can’t help but wonder if there are any drawbacks or hidden risks associated with this investment option. I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights from the commun…

It’s the Year of the Big Game, and that’s a good thing Image: Bethesda Game Studios2023 has been packed with some of the biggest games in recent memory, and I’m totally fine with that. For the past little while, it feels like the gaming industry has been more interested in time-sucking live service behemoths, games that never end, rather than satisfying single-player titles. But this year, I’m inste…

What is a good provider for travel insurance to the USA for a UK citizen? Also, should I get one that just focuses on the medical stuff, or one for “everything”?
