to be fair, our universities are also real estate scams :)

thank you very much!

 

my partner is looking to purchase a digital camera for mostly nature and wildlife photography and some candid urban shoots. however, she has a neurological condition that greatly limits her grip strength so she's looking for something on the smaller side. in the past, she used a nikon fm2, so she's looking for something with that feel but digital.

we've heard a good bit about the fujifilm x100 series, but if anyone here has experience, i'd welcome some input. thanks.

Also, pre- and post-hivemind, the show has been deliberate in highlighting Carol's flaws, isolation, and poor decision making, specifically her being a functional alcoholic. In some regards, the hivemind is correct; Carol does need fixing. So I would think the Stalin namedrop right before she accidentally kills millions of people fits into the "bumbling empire" trope of a typical lib in the imperial core.

Plus, the anti-communist message is blunted slightly by Carol's attempts to build solidarity (on the surface) with the other individuals but being completely ill equipped to do so, specifically because she's an American chauvinist. So she orients her position out of her own personal gripes rather than providing a benefit for the others to rally around. She even begins by asking the hivemind, "how many of them speak English?" lol. I mean, c'mon! If you really think the world is at stake, put in a little effort!

it very much is, but most southerners mean pork when they say barbecue. i assume texas is different because of its ranching industry.

with regard to barbecue? no. that's brisket territory.
