Oh the t3i is just what I got years ago. I guess it was probably the newest rebel camera at the time and was typically $500 but would drop occasionally to half off. I'm sure the newer ones are probably better.

Can another determined to hacker please figure out how to put it on the onboard computer of a 2013 Prius? Asking for a friend.

It's you want the DSLR experience for cheap, I recommend waiting for a Canon rebel t3i to go on sale. I got mine for $250 and eventually got a 50mm prime lens for it for relatively cheap as well. I don't make money from photography so the image quality is good enough for what I usually end up doing with my photos (Instagram or desktop backgrounds). It has all the satisfying clicks of a DSLR and I also find that making due with fewer bells and whistles causes me to focus more on techniques of composition rather than getting hung up on the technical aspects.

As a server, "can I get anything else for you right now?" "A suitcase full of cash please."

My girlfriend (who is new to the US) when to a planned Parenthood to get an IUD inserted. She called me laughing about the "crazy white people" telling her they would adopt her baby. They continued even after she told them she wasn't pregnant.

The statistics are much more grim when you think about people other than yourself though. If you get Covid and spread it (I think the average infected person spreads it to 2 other people for the regular variant and more for the delta) the chances that the wave of of Covid which propagates from you leads to the death of someone else is quite high and almost certain.

People where I live drive pretty well and are fairly nice about letting me in when I'm turning onto a street with traffic. A state above me though where my girlfriend lives, at any moment you will see at least two cars weaving through traffic at 20+ over the speed limit. It's infuriating when they cut me off in the far right lane just to get one car length forward in traffic. I stay in the right lane specifically to avoid having to deal with people like that.

To be fair, if this was recent, a lot of us guys seem to be growing out our hair and beards during the pandemic. I feel like anyone who knew me 2 years ago wouldn't recognize me at the moment.

While I would never want to work for or support a place like that, legally, I suppose they should. The same way they discriminate against those with history of drug use or crime or those with visible tattoos (I do not endorse this practice either). Businesses can decide who to allow and disallow based on anything which was a choice. People can also choose to not support or not work for companies which make choices such as these which they do not agree with.

Statistically it is unlikely but I wouldn't say it's impossible or "NEVER going to happen". Better to be safe than sorry, and remember that even if you are not in an at-risk group, you may come into contact with someone who is. Try to be a decent human being and don't act as a vector to infect those people. Whether that means distancing, wearing a mask, and/or getting vaccinated, just please do what you can so we can get past this.

It's not a law telling you to get vaccinated though, it's a business. I don't think a legal vaccine mandate is fair for this reason. But a business has the right to discriminate here. Antivax is not a protected class, nor should it be.

I am not an expert in this field but I have to say that that is an interesting idea. If a quantum particle has mass then it should have some effect on spacetime. From my understanding, the collapse of the quantum wave occurs when a quantum particle is "observed" or in other words when it has an effect on an outside system. Should the wave then collapse instantaneously from any perspective which could be affected by the gravity of the quantum particle? Maybe such a small gravity doesn't propagate far enough to have a meaningful(?) effect on any outside system?

That's not what she said in the link you posted. She said that she would take it under the recommendation of doctors, not under the recommendation of Trump.

I didn't because I figured I'd just get banned from there anyways. But that's a good call.

The main pointer that I would give for developing good habits and a good "eye" for photography would be to look at the whole composition of the photo and try to make it interesting to look at each part. I usually try to find interesting shapes and lines in my environment. For a good composition, if I blur my eyes, the photo should still have a structure that I find interesting to look at. Also, a tip I learned from a class I took is to avoid intersecting lines which are away from the subject as they tend to bring your eye away from the subject.

The battery prices for Prius batteries (especially used) have come way down in the last few years.

But what about a secondhand EV or Hybrid? I recently bought a 2013 Prius and couldn't be happier.

I have a feeling that the JC will be packed due to tons of people having online classes before in-person ones. I think that there will be some major logistics issues this semester...

As someone who is gearing up to start a PhD I feel this hard. Going to spend the first 5-8 years of my career making 30k.
