  1. Same. I do like rick and morty, but the art style, Hollywoo and pop culture puns/references, and more down to earth and relatable story lines of Bojack make it my favorite of the two.
  2. Defiantly the most underrated Netflix original, and better than Rick and Morty IMO
  3. be sure to get one with a built in wifi hotspot so you have reliable internet
  4. I don't see there being enough of a market for this. There are tons of reusable water bottles out there, and sites that offer custom etched names or pictures on a wide variety of those bottles.
  5. A piece of equipment to help focus would be to use a follow focus which can help you maintain a smooth rack focus, and you can mark it with start and stop points so you dont go past your focal point. They can be costly, and totally overkill for your current needs, so instead try something the jar opener technique shown in the video below. Great way to practice pulling focus without grabbing the lens and can help smooth things out.
  6. Recently I have been shooting stills on an Olympus (model escapes me, will update when I get back) I picked up from my local flee market in decent condition at first glance. Haven't developed any rolls ye because $$$, so fingers crossed they turn out okay when I get around to it. Beyond that I borrow equipment from friends till I buy my own. Plus phone photography, gotta shoot on something.
  7. Router or wireless access point/router? If you need wifi without any special configuration needs then I can agree with this guy on the C9: It is an easy setup and provides good speed and reliability, especially for the price. However, it does lack some advanced configuration features that most people won't know how to use anyway, but it was an issue for me. It also has a pretty bad parental control implementation if that is relevant to you.
  8. I first got a 2.5 SATA drive enclosure that I still have today, but now I just use the cable as a SATA to usb adapter and have ditched the housing. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817366014
  9. Looking for a tablet, preferably with Windows 10, to use for note taking in class. I like the Surface Pro for having a stylus that goes with it, but it is out of the price range. Any other options, maybe around the $500 price range that are any good?
  10. Anyone here experienced with professional lighting in realm of events, concerts, theater, etc who wants to talk shop? I've always been interested and have had some experience, but haven't met anyone who shares my interest.

    Hi

    lol welcome to the struggle As you will lean through your research, you can build a decent rig on a budget but the temptation to save for the shiny toys is real

    Hi

    As VerticalDiscussions said, there are plenty of tutorials to cover every aspect of building, and of course access to the LTT community for any questions you have. Do you have plans to build a new rig or upgrade an existing PC? Also, welcome to the forum!
  13. None, silly me left my headphones at home today have had House of the Rising Sun stuck in my head.

    So, this is the college life my parents told me…

    I haven't had any lecture classes thankfully, I dont think I would survive
  15. I was surprised how well he did. I want him back in office
  16. 737MAX engine mug. My new best purchase ever

    Same. I've been too lame to party hard or whatever. Not at all what I expected. tldr: being an adult sucks
  18. spare USB drive will always come in handy
  19. The United Arab Emirates got your back https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/02/finally-someone-has-a-realistic-timeline-for-mars-colonization-the-uae/
  20. Original ArsTechnica article The summary of it is that Republicans want to overturn a privacy rule that requires "home and mobile ISPs to get opt-in consent from consumers before sharing Web browsing data and other private information with advertisers and other third parties." The argument behind the push to overturn is that it will confuse consumers and make it harder for them to receive customized services. Overturning this could let ISP share your information by default and make opt-out a challenging task. It us unknown what would happen if the rule were to be overturned. The full article is definitely worth a read.
  21. While it is very different from the hyperloop, Amtrak has plans for working on high speed trains on the East coast. There is a good video in with the page linked below http://blog.amtrak.com/2016/08/amtraks-next-generation-high-speed-trains/
  22. Rocking the $30 CM Storm keyboard/Mouse combo. The keyboard is surprisingly satisfying for the price point, but the mouse was a POS and broke a couple months back. It has since been replaced by a SteelSeries Rival 600. Current headset is a set of LSTN headphones I picked up off of eBay. They look fantastic with the real Zebra wood design, but sound only alright with a good amount of static through the line and are very uncomfortable for long listening periods.
  23. It looks great! Ive been waiting for a portable projector that doesn't suck. The only issue I can imagine it having would be the on board speakers so having Bluetooth capability should make this the perfect go to for game protection and especially movies with built in Netflix streaming. My only wish would be to find something with these capabilities that can run off of a battery to bring hiking to watch a movie or have a LAN party with friends under the stars somewhere. Guess I would have to bring a generator.
