Finally got the whole manga

Finally got the whole manga

Got 1-14 in a big Right Stuf haul many years ago, didn’t get 15 before it shot up in value. Was in a Book Off in Japan looking for manga to practice my Japanese, and found volume 15 for like $2.5

Dispute help?

Has anyone done any disputes recently? I need to do some and i've tried almost every day for the past week and all have failed. I've emailed Gemini and nothing. I spend like $8k a month on this card but the customer service has been nonexistent recently. I've been very pro-Gemini in the past, telling people this is a great card and exchange, but if I don't get help soon I'll move my assets out and use my Robinhood card for everything.

The exchange and card are still good as long as you don't have any issues to fix, but when you do it completely throws away almost every positive about this exchange and card.

▲ 101 r/MSTR

I think I have the worst average on here.

it's actually not so bad. I got a bunch of shares around $1200 (pre split), then kept trading those to/from MSTU. My account did ~6x. I was eventually all in MSTU, then towards the top of MSTU i got rid of them and bought all MSTR which is these shares. been selling calls since ~$380 so even now my account is still ~2.5x what I started with, even though these shares are ~25% less than my original purchase. this is my play money so it doesn't matter if it goes to 0 for me, i'll hodl no matter what (until the next bull market). posting this so others know it probably isn't as bad as you think it is

Travel lens to replace kit lens?

Hey everyone,

Looking to upgrade my Canon R50 kit lens for a heavy travel trip. I walk 40k+ steps a day and shoot entirely handheld (street, travel, and inside restaurants). I carry the RF-S 10-18mm for wide shots, but need a fast everyday walkaround.

My kit lens is struggling at night; I'm frequently hitting ISO 8000+ just to keep a handheld shutter speed. Since the R50 has no IBIS, I'm torn between three low-light upgrades:

  1. Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8: Good weight (only 300g). It would be an easy carry for 40k step days. It has no image stabilization, so if I shoot at ~42mm in a dark restaurant, I'd have to push the shutter speed to around 1/30s or 1/60s to avoid hand shake, landing my iso around 2000.
  2. Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8: The built-in Vibration Compensation is tempting. It would let me shoot at 1/8s handheld, pulling in real light and dropping my restaurant iso down to ~500. It’s huge and heavy tho (530g), which scares me for all-day walking.
  3. Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8: The f/1.8 brightness is insane. Like the Tamron, it's a heavy beast (560g) to lug around all day.

How much will I regret the extra 230g+ of the Tamron or larger Sigma when walking all day? On the flip side, is losing image stabilization on the lightweight Sigma 18-50mm a nightmare for handheld night/indoor shooting on a non-IBIS body like the R50?

Would love to hear from anyone who has traveled with these setups!

Finally cooked a decent porterhouse

Have been practicing steaks for a few months hoping to make steaks better than steakhouses. I usually make ribeyes, but I finally got a decent porterhouse I think.

Does anyone know what kind of tea this is?

Hello everyone, I've drank tea my whole life, but got serious with it the past year. My friend was obsessed with tea, but died last year. Her dream was to open a tea shop, luckily she was able to have a tea popup a few months before. I started getting serious into tea, spending hundreds on tea throughout the world, getting the best Zojirushi, and trying different steep times, to see if I can understand what she saw in tea. At her funeral some samples were away, I got this jar with no label and another with a label showing the recommended way to brew. I haven't used this tea in the year since she died since I'm afraid of wasting it, but it was recently her birthday and I went to try a bit. I asked AI about it and it said to set my water heater to 212F, and steep for 2 min, but it didn't taste the best to me.

Can someone help me figure out what tea this is, and the best way to enjoy it? When i try to go grab it with my spoon it's very crunchy and unlike other teas I've had.
