6d mark ii 4k timelapse astro timelapse9/23/2023 I use Magic Lantern on the 6D, and it works, but stability is still not 100%, and it’s usage is not the fastest and is a little daunting for some. What this means is that the 6D requires either an additional accessory for making time lapse sequences or you must install (through some initially daunting steps) a community developed custom firmware hack called Magic Lantern. It would require minimal development time and needs no extra hardware. Why camera manufacturers have not made a software intervalometer a feature on every camera is beyond me. It doesn’t have a built in intervalometer. This is a complaint I could make about most DSLRs.In the dark it’s really easy to mispress buttons on the 6D. All three of these buttons are placed for easy access to your thumb, but all of them are flush with the body and have no tactile feedback whatsoever. I’ve had this camera for a year and you would think that I’d have gotten used to where all the buttons are placed, but it’s surprisingly easy to accidentally press the “Q” button when you mean to press the “Magnify” button, or press the “Magnify” button when you meant to press the “Q” button. When shooting photos in the dark, it’s impossible to know what you’re pressing. The buttons are spongy. For normal operation, this is never a problem.Strangely, the cheaper APS-C offerings by Canon, the EOS 60D and EOS 70D both have tilt screens. With the 6D you’ll find yourself on your stomach trying to look at the LCD when it’s this low to the ground. Since astrophotography usually calls for photos with more than half of the frame featuring the sky, it’s very common to place the camera in a low position so that your foreground subjects are situated against the sky. But when it comes to astrophotography in particular, the lack of a tilt screen makes composition and focusing much harder when the camera is positioned low to the ground. It seems like a trivial point to make since tilt screens are usually associated with cheaper cameras and most professional level cameras aren’t expected to have a tilt screen. This is honestly the most annoying aspect of this camera. There are plenty of other articles that compare the 6D to its current generation rivals. This isn’t a comparison post or a pixel peeping post, it’s merely my opinions about the 6D. At the end of the article you’ll find some of my favorite photos from the 6D from the last year. I’ll start with what I don’t like and then I’ll move on to what I love. This review will be a quick overview of my thoughts on using the 6D as my primary camera for astrophotography. I would argue the 6D is one of the best full-frame cameras you can buy for astrophotography. It’s still Canon’s cheapest full-frame camera in production. I’ve had the pleasure of using the Canon EOS 6D for over a year. My review of the Canon EOS 6D: one of the best full-frame cameras for astrophotography Canon 6D with Rokinon 14mm/2.8 and 24mm/1.4, one of my favorite full-frame set ups for astrophotography

Valheim wolf cape9/23/2023 While it looks super warm and cozy, the Lox Cape shares similar paths to another cape on the list but takes the difficulty up a lot more, which wasn’t the case a few months ago. Troll set doesn’t give a movement speed penalty vs.Unlocks the sneak effect when the set is worn.Provides 1-4 armor depending on the upgrade.Just be sure to be well-prepared against the Troll, as its damage can easily send you back into hiding if you mess up. With that being said, the cape is also made of the same stuff as the armor, so you’ll likely be able to complete your desired camo cloak alongside the armor. With this on alongside the Troll Hide Armor, you’ll be able to get closer to mobs without startling them, perfect for the occasional melee Deer hunt. If you want the power of the Norse god, or at least, a portion of it, you may need to start looking for anyone with an unused code.Ī big step up in the capes department, the blue Troll Hide Cape rounds off the armor set it complements, making this blue cloth a must-have for a sneaky benefit.Īgain, capes are mostly cosmetic with a few giving meaningful differences towards your needs, and for this one, it’s the ability to better sneak using the stealth bonus this cape completes with the armor. In-game, it doesn’t offer anything too valuable, because it’s more of a cosmetic piece, but given that this was only given to those who joined Valheim’s Beta, it does fetch some real-life cash for those Viking die-hards who absolutely want it. With a cape as rare as this, the Cape of Odin is one of those mythical items that you can only get when you have played this game for far longer than the game has been up on early access, making for a very niche, but welcomed addition to Valheim. With that being the case, there have only ever been 6 capes in Valheim ever since its release, with likely add-ons to come once more content is added given its early access nature, but it’s still worthwhile to visit what these capes can give and assess its value to your quest to Viking supremacy.Īs with the previous lists, this was created using the latest version available at the time of writing (version 0.202.70 and is based on the progression of function throughout the game and even some style points. While this is mainly a cosmetic piece, some capes are part of something much bigger that can help your character out when it comes to stat bonuses or being part of an armor set that gives additional things for you, and in turn, helps the progression of your gameplay. While there are various things that you can customize on your Viking, none can be more important than the capes.

Playon recording failed9/23/2023 We need jail, not bail for repeat violent offenders and serious time behind bars for those committing the most serious crimes. There may be a new Justice Minister, but the Liberal’s catch-and-release justice system is still letting repeat violent offenders back on the streets-sometimes within mere hours of being arrested. The Liberals remain focused on their backwards efforts to take hunting rifles from farmers while implementing soft-on-crime policies for dangerous violent offenders. In Public Safety, there may be a new name on the door-the PM having finally fired the scandal-plagued Marco Mendicino-but Paul Bernardo still isn’t back in maximum security prison, China continues to operate on our soil, and crime is still on the rise-up 39 percent under Trudeau. Radical Green Peace activist Steven Guilbeault will continue to make life less affordable for Canadians (especially rural Canadians) as minster of ever-increasing carbon taxes in the Environment and Climate Change portfolio. Leaving the increasingly out of touch Freeland in the finance role is the clearest indication this Prime Minister has no intention of changing course, offering no solutions to the debt and cost-of-living crisis he and Freeland have created. However, rather than signal a change in policy that might bring some relief to Canadians, Justin Trudeau has doubled down on the same approach, the same failed policies, and the same incompetent crew who got us into this mess in the first place.įirst Mate Chrystia Freeland will continue her reign as Queen of inflation at Finance. Like the Titanic tragedy, Justin Trudeau has exemplified arrogance, ignored common sense, and refused to heed the warnings of the dangers posed by his chosen course.Īs a result of his own ego, Justin Trudeau’s record is one of scandal and failure, and he is shuffling nearly his entire cabinet in a desperate attempt to distract from all that he has broken. Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle last week was akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic to continuing to play music like nothing was wrong, to distract from the reality that the magnificent ship was sinking. As the Titanic slowly sank beneath the icy waters of the north Atlantic, the band continued to play on deck.

Sunset sound plugin9/23/2023 If anyone here knows any pros or cons of VSTs from the following developers, I'd be grateful for their input: They don't engage in outright user-hostile behavour, but they are definitely annoying. That lines up with what I've heard: I keep an eye out for VST developers who are recommended on this subreddit, and add them to a list, and Waves and IK Multimedia get a muted recommendation. It literally takes up a ton of space just so you forget you don't own something and it can pop up saying BUY THIS NOW The entire Manual literally is just pages and pages on how to authorize the product, not a SINGLE comment on how the files and folders should be structured for the plugin to recognize the files properly! What the f***ĮDIT: Not to mention that if you install something from T-Racks like Stealth Limiter, they install about a hundred other t racks plugs into your Pro Tools folder, thus cluttering the hell out of your menus and workflow. Just wanted to vent after trying and failing to install SampleTank instruments for like the 5th time in a year. Literally, if you downloaded your sound packs and your have a HDD failure, you have to pay them to be allowed to download shit you already paid for. Their installation processes are needlessly incredibly complicated, I've needed to contact support every time I have to install one of their sound libraries because it never works right, and your downloads for sound libraries THAT YOU PURCHASED literally self destruct after a few months or so.

Crock pot butter chicken9/23/2023 Slow Cooker: Love this slow cooker and how programmable it is, it has been a workhorse for me… until… My New Slow Cooker: This recipe was made in this slow cooker. Coconut Milk: I stick to the full fat for the thickness and creaminess in the dish, if you want to stick to a lower fat alternative you may want to cook this on the stovetop as it may break the sauce in the slow cooker. Starting with low sodium allows you to alter to your tastes if necessary. Tools Used in the making of this Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken: Low Sodium Soy Sauce – I find regular soy sauce much too salty, remember you can always add salt but you can’t subtract it. Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes.Looking for more slow cooker Chicken Recipes? Add the ingredients to a dutch oven and cook in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or on your stovetop (covered) on medium heat for 20-25 minutes. You can easily make this dish on your stovetop or in your oven as well.There are some pre-made garlic and ginger pastes on the market that you can keep on hand if you find that you don’t want to have to keep fresh ginger and garlic in your kitchen.I recommend boneless skinless thighs for this since the skin would add a lot of rendered fat to the sauce. Using chicken thighs can keep the chicken moister and allow for you to cook it longer (7-8 hours on low) if you will be away all day.If you are making this fresh in the morning you can brown the chicken before cutting it up and it will add a deeper flavor.You can cut up the chicken and add the ingredients into a large ziploc bag/bowl the night before if you’d like then you can just put it in the slow cooker in the morning.Some tips and tricks for this This Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken: Anytime meal prep can be this passive is a win, there won’t be anything cooking on your stovetop for you to watch. You start the chicken in the slow cooker and when you are about a half an hour away from dinner you put your carrots in the oven and make the rice in your favorite rice cooker. The best part of this is also that it is almost completely hands off. Served with some roasted Garlic and Ginger Carrots this is a meal your family will enjoy for a long time to come. What we do is cook our rice as you would any regular rice, but replace some of the water with the rest of the coconut milk and usually whatever lime juice is left in the lime we are using in the recipe. This Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken intentionally calls for only a half a can of coconut milk because every time we make this we use the leftovers in our rice.

I replied saying it was already scheduled for today and you guys were so excited. In the less than ten days since it was posted I got more than a dozen emails asking for a slow cooker version of the recipe. This recipe is the slow cooker equivalent of the Sheet Pan Peanut Chicken and Vegetables I posted last week. It happens more than I would care to admit, but on nights when I make something everyone will happily eat I feel a lot more at peace. I find that any time I can add peanut butter to dinner that doesn’t include a sandwich we tend to be happier as a whole family unit because a huge pet peeve of mine is making multiple meals. Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken is one of our favorite meals because the kids love it so much. Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken is an easy weeknight meal made with coconut milk, lime juice, peanut butter, ginger and garlic.

Turbotax review 20089/23/2023 Taxpayers with investments, cryptocurrency, rental income, business income, or business expenses $409 + $64 per state for Full-Service Premium Taxpayers with deductions, including the student loan interest deduction $269 + $64 per state for Full-Service Deluxe Taxpayers with simple tax situations who want a tax expert to review their return $99 + 54 per state for Live Basic $219 + $54 per state for Full-Service Basic Taxpayers with very simple returns only who want to file federal taxes and state taxes for free (not all taxpayers qualify) The table below shows the price of your options so you can see how much you'd have to pay based on the type of return you need to file and the level of support you'll require. You have the option to request tax advice and ask questions throughout the year, not just at tax time, and you'll be able to do a one-on-one consultation with your tax expert before they file your returns. You simply upload your tax forms, and an expert will prepare your returns. If you'd prefer to have a tax expert file taxes for you, TurboTax also offers this option with its full-service product. While this is a great feature for those who are nervous about getting everything done right, the cost is about double, depending on which product you've chosen. You can ask as many questions as you want as you're filing taxes, including having the expert do a line-by-line review of your return. You'll get on-demand access to an expert who you can talk to right from your computer screen. If you find taxes confusing and want a tax expert to review your return, you can opt to pay an additional premium for live support. TurboTax also charges a fee per state return (unless you're using the free edition), so the program gets even more expensive if you live or work in one or more states that impose a personal income tax. If you hope to claim any other deductions - including a deduction for student loan interest or contributions to retirement accounts or health savings accounts - you'll need to upgrade to the Deluxe product, which is costlier.įor those whose returns are even more complicated because of business expenses, rental properties, or investment income, the price climbs very quickly. TurboTax offers qualifying taxpayers the chance to use its software and file for free, but only for simple tax returns and if you're claiming the standard deduction. How much does TurboTax cost: Products and prices If another tax prep method gets you more money back, it'll refund what you paid for the software or give you $30 if you used the TurboTax free edition. It not only guarantees its calculations are 100% accurate so you can avoid some common tax mistakes, but it also promises to maximize your refund. Tax filers trust it because of its long history but also because it provides multiple guarantees. TurboTax has become a well-established brand over the three decades it's helped people do taxes and is now the best-selling tax software provider in America. According to the company, which was founded all the way back in 1983, its mission is "powering prosperity around the world."
