I guess you can deseibe many experiences with ‘exhausting but fun’

That’s one interesting concept of future wars. I like it. Walking down the streets and bam sleeping gas!
Wake up in some waiting room with thousands of others, massive headache, getting water and pain meds handed by enemy military personnel. Watch the latest statistics on which nation got most people in possession. Get sent home, learn new language, get used to new religion. War is exhausting but also fun.

Thanks for this list. Wowsa

Great composition!

What about that parasitic thingy that wobbles your eyes and makes you do things? You’d just need to ward of these pesky birds and refrain from climbing too high, but I bet everything looks funky!

Not sure of the brand name but something that helps you to see pretty things where you are and something that helps you to actively look for pretty things would be my recommendation.

That coat itself looks painted. The simple color, the way it still clings to the body in places while flowing freely and the shadows make it a bit surreal, especially combined with that painting.

Google improved regarding Russian, it seems.

Comparison:

Just never again tell your soldiers before battle “You won’t change anything!” tell them what John Connor asked Kyle Reese to tell his mother - “There is no destiny but the one we make for ourselves.” As they say, let’s personally thank Jim Cameron for this fine movie, right in Hollywood. If I succeed in “making a difference” - cite me to the soldiers as an example.

The samurai code “Bushido”, which was put down on paper at a time when samurai began to forget it, says, among other things:

Revenge is often simply to break into an enemy’s house and die.

You’re right! Guess they got the concrete texture quite right.

Cheers! I appreciate the small insight into the names that are common to people with some knowledge about these different types.

So far, I might have a chance to name Dohle, Nebekrähe correctly and maybe have a good chance of picking Rabe, rather than Krähe due to its size, and being somewhat right about that.

I’m always thankful if someone can tell me right away what things are called.

Haha Clichées sind dafür da erfüllt zu werden.

Yeah as a kid i thought raven were much bigger and had orange beaks. Rather late I learned that ravens are usually just large crows. Personally, I don’t care much but at least try to learn and use the proper names of things. At least in German, using Krähe seems to be a safe bet in any case.

Nah it’s alright, the RF series is rather niche still and when it’s much more reasonable (price per quality) I might as well use an EF with the adapter. As my always-on lens is the RF 24-240mm (very useful for travel when you don’t know what you’ll do that day), the size&weight of EF 1.4 + adapter would still be quite a bit less.
Apparently, I can rent it via a service for 20 or so bucks a month. That’s fair.

Yeah I can imagine how quickly that got old when tens of comments are just that very same spiel. But still I wonder how I’ve missed that since I’ve spent quite a bit of time on reddit and really enjoyed reading up on these major events of reddit-history.

grab my […] for its size and weight and wish I had brought my […] instead.

Story of my (photo-) life haha. It’s so hard not to feel sad when you find a situation where a certain piece of equipment you left at home would’ve been sooo much better suited for the task. But you just can’t carry all lenses, a tri-pod and a flash with you everytime you leave the house. Even taking the camera is hard enough sometimes…
Thanks for the suggestion of renting it. Might give that a shot. There might even be a service for it I’ve used before. I wouldn’t like to pretend-buy something just to test it, though I’d probably keep it after what you’ve told me.
Sadly, there’s not 1.4 RF lens so I would have to use the EF-adapter as well. But considering the weight and size that should still be quite acceptable. Not sure if there’s a trade-off regarding image quality when using the adapter but probably not enough for me to notice anyway.

Haha thanks for preventing history from repeating itself on Lemmy. I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s already drama behind stating that jackdaws are, essentially, crows…

Done! It’s !birding@lemmy.world apparently

Alright, but who said that?

From what I’ve read, the general image quality of the ‘cheap’ EF/RF 50mm 1.8 is very similar to that of the much more expensive 1.4 or 1.2 versions. At least from F1.8 and up, that is.

I’d prefer the better lenses, of course, simply for the faster and less noisy focus but I’d have to pay 12x what I’ve paid for the RF 50mm 1.8! It’s just insane.

Same as with audio equipment, I’m still at a level where I can see, as a fact, that money is still a limiting factor and not just my skill level.
