Gawd, the players are being attacked by a zillion mosquitoes.

That could've worked into the cheezy '60s sci-fi movie I was just watching (and why, I couldn't say, other than it was so bad it was funny). Swarming insects could fit in fine with a futuristic movie set in - 2015!! - with two rivals to control the universe, United Democracies and Corporation Crazies or some such thing. By the end there was plenty of water with red food coloring in it rushing and splashing and fire and lasers zinging around yet somehow they got out and swam thru it to their fake toy spaceships and ended up at a tiki bar beside somebody's pool. The worst was the voice dubbing, but that added to the cheeziness.

Is it time for some lightbulb jokes for David, like how many Davids does it take to change 50 light bulbs?

From your question I have ascertained that David is not a programmer, since changing the bulb is clearly a hardware issue.

If David is a college professor, we can say that it would only take one, but there would be 50 technical papers (one for each) generated. LOL

I do believe I mentioned that these are 48" T8 bulbs. Insert and half twist. If they had them I suppose I could replace the bad ballasts as well.
As far from programming as one could get. It is somewhat amazing how many dark fixtures are now lit up again.
Almost gotta wear shades in the produce department. The other end of the store may be a bit harder with more dead ballasts.....

That press conference that was just on... as one of the CNN reporters who has young kids said, it was hard to watch; nm on the rest of what I was going to say other than what I've seen in photos would be the type thing that in past jobs as a mandated reporter, I would have been reporting as suspected neglect/abuse, even if it was just one child.

The retired general who was just on CNN apparently posted a photo on his Twitter showing a concentration camp in WWII and commenting that's where and when children were separated from families. He said the skies are darkening and he was sending up a flare.

Interesting too that the director of legislative whatever who was on trying to explain the policy, has quit and is leaving. That to me says it all right there.

Okay, now for some lightbulb jokes... how many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb? Depends on what dog.

How about a cat? one, it just climbs on up there...

I wish you all a good night and a better tomorrow. Soon I'll be lights out.

Should I buy a used X100T or a 23mm f2?

You should replace them with a T-8 LED retrofit kit. They will never need replacing for 25 years and you’ll save bunches of money paid out to the power company.

The T has a 16mp sensor. Other than that, Gary would say yeah, go for it. When you head out with the family the X100T is easily grabbed for the odd candid shot. And it is better looking than the XT2.

 

[Gary A.]

The 23mm f/2 is a sweet little lens.

 

[Gary A.]

Both.
