  • Google improved regarding Russian, it seems.

    Comparison:

    Just never again tell your soldiers before battle “You won’t change anything!” tell them what John Connor asked Kyle Reese to tell his mother - “There is no destiny but the one we make for ourselves.” As they say, let’s personally thank Jim Cameron for this fine movie, right in Hollywood. If I succeed in “making a difference” - cite me to the soldiers as an example.

    The samurai code “Bushido”, which was put down on paper at a time when samurai began to forget it, says, among other things:

    Revenge is often simply to break into an enemy’s house and die.

  • Cheers! I appreciate the small insight into the names that are common to people with some knowledge about these different types.

    So far, I might have a chance to name Dohle, Nebekrähe correctly and maybe have a good chance of picking Rabe, rather than Krähe due to its size, and being somewhat right about that.

    I’m always thankful if someone can tell me right away what things are called.


  • Haha Clichées sind dafür da erfüllt zu werden.

    Yeah as a kid i thought raven were much bigger and had orange beaks. Rather late I learned that ravens are usually just large crows. Personally, I don’t care much but at least try to learn and use the proper names of things. At least in German, using Krähe seems to be a safe bet in any case.






  • From what I’ve read, the general image quality of the ‘cheap’ EF/RF 50mm 1.8 is very similar to that of the much more expensive 1.4 or 1.2 versions. At least from F1.8 and up, that is.

    I’d prefer the better lenses, of course, simply for the faster and less noisy focus but I’d have to pay 12x what I’ve paid for the RF 50mm 1.8! It’s just insane.

    Same as with audio equipment, I’m still at a level where I can see, as a fact, that money is still a limiting factor and not just my skill level.
