Nikon RAW files store a full resolution jpg version of the photo inside of the RAW file (this may be true of other RAW formats too). I had a similar problem to what's described in the article a few years ago, and for photos that were d

These are really good points, I'd forgotten about the shinnies and the stats. I was always less concerned with stats because I would usually get one that was good enough. However, I knew people that had to get the latest shiny when it

A couple of years ago, when I was playing Pokemon Go daily, I showed up to a raid with my son. I started chatting with some of the other people there and one guy mentioned that his monthly budget for the game was $100. Another guy chimed in

It's possible, but if I am, it means protein and fat are better at keeping me satiated. The standard American diet is high in carbs, and it could be that processed carbs aren't very good at keeping someone full.

I picked up a pair of Shaq shoes when I was in middle school for that reason. Weirdly it did help. I remember a kid that would pick on me stopped because he thought my shoes were cool. Everyone thought they had to have been really expensive

Those were the must have shoes when I was growing up in the early 90's. For some reason we thought they would help us play basketball better. I still remember showing up to school with a pair on and all of my friends being impressed.

This assumes we can live in space indefinitely without any problems or that settling other planets won't be a problem. Both of those could be great filters.

I'm glad Neil didn't erase the recordings. Sometimes bands have gems that stay in the vault for a long time. I remember reading about Nirvana's "You know you're right" years before it was released. I still reme

One of my older brothers was a heavy drinker. He died recently at the age of 50. He had an enlarged heart and liver, which they believe were the cause of his death. It's not really clear to me if he saw it coming. He was fine one day,

"(2010)" should probably be added to this post's title. It's a shame SEO optimization has led to publishers removing dates from blog posts. It's a real detriment to readers.

My Nikkor 50mm 1.8G is one of my favorite lenses. When I had a cropped sensor DSLR I used it as my portrait lens, and when I upgraded to a full frame I started using it as a general purpose lens. It creates beautiful images. I've alway

I've read stories of 90 year olds riding bikes and enjoying the small things in life. I'd certainly prefer that over being dead.

People are addicted and enjoy it too much. I have family members who spend all day posting memes, pictures, comments, etc. The only way I see FB failing is if something better comes along that can replace it.
