  1. Is it just me, or does it feel like bash got paid to write that? :lol: /jk
  2. I do recall this being discussed here earlier... or if not discussed, @Vitalius dropping a fun fact about how USA manufactures chocolate. The only things I remember, are that they focus on quantity over quality, and that chocolate contains a similar substance that's in puke, and chocolate from US has more of it due to their quicker process. @Vitalius do you remember this stuff? I don't.
  3. interesting , they kinda do Still don't move quite as much as trees in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 do; individual trees look like they are breathing, they swing back-and-forth that much, in a repeating manner, and don't look like it would be a wind causing it. It's like the devs made a one second long animation for a tree, that loops.
  4. Planning on a 2 week stay. 2 weeks could feel like quite a short time. Depending where you are gonna be, 2 weeks can fly by really fast, and traveling ends before you even know it. If you are mostly sticking to one area, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I might sound like a sociopathic douche for saying this, but... The top comment provoked a more emotional response from me than the comic itself... Perhaps I am just that... A sociopathic douche. i cried 0/0 times ! i win bitches Got no feels when watching Clannad either, joining @TheGingerKid's club of soulless monsters. (DISCLAIMER: neither of us are gingers, but blondes) As far as I know, it doesn't need to be a parent in particular, but an 18 year-old legal guardian. For most purposes not any adult can do, but for traveling any legal adult should be enough. So if anyone is willing to fund a ticket for me as well, then I'll be reporting for duty of being your legal guardian for the duration of travels. :lol: The prices though... So expensive. For others this might not sound expensive, though... That's one reason why I almost never get to travel anywhere outside of this little rut I live in, and have never been abroad: lack of funds. You probably noticed it earlier, considering how you have changed your member title already...
  5. I managed to think of something else about "exposure gets grayed out", and I even mentioned about that earlier... Silly me Guess that resolves that.

    ugh... Everything I have ordered recently takes…

    Unless living somewhere for maybe 1,5 - 2 years on social support and then moving again to live for at least 5 years on social support would be enough reason to move now, I would.

    Not really. With population of 3000 and decreasing at rate of about 200 inhabitants per year, it would be safe to say that the town will die in about 20 years or so. I'm kinda stuck until I serve conscription: I'm on the last half a year of high school, then half a year after graduation conscription hits. I could move now, but I would have to move again for further studying soon after conscription.
  8. I've never experienced anything that could be described as you said, or then I'm understanding something wrong... I have ran out of possible advice to give. @ShadowCaptain do you, or anyone else of the Photo/Video subforum's regulars know what could it be?

    ugh... Everything I have ordered recently takes…

    All we have in my hometown are whopping 2 grocery stores, of which one is tied to the sole local gas station (also houses a burger joint, a pizzeria and subway, plus it's the only place here that's open 24/7), 3 second-hand stores, and that's pretty much it. There used to be more variety (like a hardware store), but they all either moved away due to lack of business, or went bankrupt. So to get anything apart from necessities like food, have to go buy elsewhere.
  10. ugh... Everything I have ordered recently takes so long to deliver... 5.25" to 3.5" adapter? 5 - 7 days estimate. Earbuds (old ones broke yesterday)? 12 - 14 days estimate. M42 to EF/EF-S adapter? One more week from now, and order was made in the end of December 2015... Such fun when everything you need is out of stock temporarily.

  11. Of course I'm joking and I think the project is dead anyways. Still funny none the less. Still better than Windows ⑨... probably... Probably because such thing doesn't exist, since Microsoft can't count... Microsoft can't count to 9, Valve can't count to 3, 3x3=9... Are Microsoft and Valve related? lol) Nords are probably the most racist people in Skyrim. And you thought them yelling that makes you want to go on a killing spree? What about that one mod that was linked here earlier, presumably by you (?)... You mean, it's a "feature" of the mod, that makes Skyrim more like Australia? That is: everything wants you dead.
  12. What? For me it's the other way around: on M-mode, Auto ISO is unavailable, but the whole ISO range can be set manually from 125 (or 80 if boosted) to 6400. Though exposure compensation is unavailable (understandable, as it would be useless on full manual). I have no clue what could be the cause of this. Manually adjusting ISO works on every other mode, though?
  13. Shouldn't M-mode be full manual? If you are asking more manual beyond that, there's not much more to be controlled manually apart from focus, which you can enable from the menu, and then setting either of the 2 dials to act as focusing ring, though by default on M-mode the dial around the lens is bound as focus (at least that's how Sony RX100 Mark 1 works, I own and use one) If M-mode isn't what you desire, would you explain more details?

    Germany does have a quite a significant number of immigrants by now, and noticeable dislike by native German citizens towards refugees. Other than that, Germany's not bad. At least better than this rut.
  16. "But what would we gain if we helped third-world countries on-site rather than let their most educated people migrate into our own country?" -Most, if not every wealthy country ever It was a good video. The ever-so-lovely CO2 in solid form (or "dry ice"). Wouldn't breath the gas, though... Was caught speeding on camera, and karma hit for breaking the law (of which I personally wouldn't have given two sh'ts about in this case), but not enough to get sent to bottom. lol I guess that's what he gets for speeding with an SUV (I don't know. Car guys here can feel free to laugh at my lack of proper terminology used here). Those don't exactly handle well at high speeds... @ Audiophiles in here Current earbuds broke, ordered Sennheiser OMX 185 earbuds. Did I done goofed or was it not a mistake?

    Canada seems to have their own share of problems, but compared to living in Philippines, it looks like heaven on-earth in-comparison. My recommendations would be Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands and Norway. The rest of North America is not so good, and the rest of Europe is a little iffy (especially Eastern and Southern Europe)
  18. I know, right? I haven't watched anything either ever since summer 2015. So many choices, so little time, and now that Christmas holiday ended, I have even less time. And the friction is real... Might just f*ck it and start watching some older than 2000's stuff (like JoJo's) and screw recent stuff, should I find time to do so. Guess @BashZeStampeedo's advice to start with older series to develop better resistance for modern garbage sounds very reasonable. Not saying all modern series are bad, or that all old series are good. Easier to find quality from old garbage than new garbage, though (both figuratively with entertainment media like anime, and literally when dumpster diving).

    Ever considered moving out of Philippines, or to an area with more job availability and/or better quality of living?

    15Mb/s bandwidth is considered "business-class" internet? Sounds about right... /sarcasm Though I'd say that if there was a choice between 15Mb/s capped (<500GB /month) internet and even as slow as 2Mb/s unlimited, I'd pick no caps, even though I don't download a whole lot.
  21. IMO I look fugly in photos, in mirror and IRL. People who say otherwise just try to make me feel better, they are not fooling anyone, though. I don't get photographed by other people much. I'm a camera shy person in-front of other peoples' cameras and CCTV cameras, but behind a camera it's another story... When it comes to selfies, I never use phone cameras anymore. Now it's just set up camera on a tripod -> set self-timer (got no remote) -> walk in the front -> get a mugshot -> repeat if necessary (try out different focal length, exposure is off, image is out of focus, stupid face pose...), -> done.

    If internet and income are no bueno, I'd say nope to Netflix. It's not like it would be much anyway, I don't know how much it costs here, but I'd guess it's about 8€ (8€ = 382,55PhP). Still wouldn't burn even that small amount of money, though. I don't know how much bandwidth would Netflix require, but if it's similar to YouTube, then I could watch 720p content just fine on mobile (2/1, unlimited data, solid connection but high-ish ping a lá 3G)

    The few movies I remember watching include as much as 2 movies: "Forrest Gump", and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly".

    I dunno... Netflix outside of US seems to lack a lot of stuff everywhere in the world. I've never used Netflix though, so I wouldn't know. I don't watch many movies nor TV-shows either... to a point where people might say that I'm an uncultured little f*ck for not watching certain must-watch-at-least-once titles, like Bond movies or Star Wars...
  25. Have seen quite a bit of that too, mostly on the internet, though. IRL people I have seen don't really want to share their sexual orientation (have only known one bi man and one asexual man for certain), but everyone except elderly people, immature kids and pre-teens seem to be accepting to homosexuals of both kinds. The rest of the LGBT spectrum is what they don't discuss, though.
