Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
2) Not impressed by the Galaxy A80. Their flip camera implementation here makes the phone bigger than needed.
3) Impressed by the 9 Pureview...@$499, not $699. It feels zipper than the last time I demoed it, and thats good to see. Makes a great case, bettered only by...
4) Note 9 in white for the $599 price. Even though these are sales prices, I'd pick the Note here all day.
5) My surprise was the Mi 9T/K20. Love the screen, in hand feel. Has a 3.5mm, pop up cam is nicely hidden (I'd never use it so it's all screen for me. Sits nicely in hand like the wider V35 style phones. SD730 and 4000mah battery should be good endurance. Niggles are no microSD and Qi, but I'd love to grab the K20 Pro with US bands and 128GB. I could certainly use it as the dual phone daily driver with the business line. (Wanted to see a Zenfone 6, but it wasn't here sadly). View attachment 141119

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It's a good time to be a consumer in anything other than the high end market.
I actually liked the Nokia offerings I saw at B&H. I can see why people bought a 7.1, especially in that silver and copper trim. There's good value to be had if you don't need the kitchen sink.
I saw the V40 and G8 and was unmoved. Guess I just thought that the G7 and V35 design wise were in a nice place last year and both the V40 and G8 have made smart changes but have aged the design in a stale sort of way.
I think for me, I can get away with the lack of a 3.5mm on a phone as these wireless buds from a music standpoint are adequate enough. For calls, I don't like them though.

Mate 20 pro shots of the new lighting. Living room light is off, main tank lighting is off, and it's dusk here. Just auto mode, nothing fancy. Will post V35 shots too.

These fish sound like they are very well maintained by y'all.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I was waiting for Baskin Robbins vegan ice cream flavors ever since I heard about it. I tried a flavor with a single scoop and I really liked it actually. I'll probably do it again.
I have wanted to try the non-dairy ice creams in the grocery stores but getting a bucket or pint(?) was something I couldn't be bothered with. I like ice cream but it's not something I would really miss if I don't have it for a while.

This looks really nice. I feel like the color of the red (or is it pink?) fish really pops here. More so than the other cameras.

Thanks for sharing this, it's really interesting to see the slight differences.

...but that's exactly what has happened...
I'm not going to say that she wanted the fish initially and now I do most of the work...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I say tough conditions as the living room lighting, and the lighting in general, has always been garbage in this apartment.
I think that if you account for photographer errors, it shows that in tough conditions like these, the differences between the cameras are slight...and in some ways boil down rk personal preference.

If you ever decide to be a wife or in a long term relationship, you'll be pulling rank like this with regularly, so...

Valid point. I believe this to be true, but I hope for a teamwork situation.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Teamwork like groupwork in school is a messy affair.
This isn't a referendum on her in this case. Nor am I throwing her under the bus. What happened was she wanted fish. It wasn't a discussion - she wanted them. She bought the initial setup and all. She tried to pull me into taking care of them afterwards and I resisted initially. I knew she was going to find it to be more labor intensive than she thought and shortly into the process, she admitted that. Then I just decided to do most of it to ensure the fish got the maintenance they need. So they're really her fish that I maintain. Lol.
The reason why I didn't own pets myself of any kind before is thinking about who takes care of them when I'm not around based on how my life is currently constructed.
I'll let the more seasoned people here comment on this one. All I'll say is everyone pulls rank on something all the time. Some people are aware and try to be considerate. Some are aware and pull rank on purpose. And some are unaware of both pulling rank and its effects.
