I’m pretty frugal, over analyze every damn purchase into decision paralysis and never actually click order. As a result I have a healthy savings account… Which I should be investing, but yeah, decision paralysis.

It helps that I like vintage junk like Soviet camera lenses and watches that cost 1/10th of the new stuff so it doesn’t really hurt my wallet when I do get impulsive. Still agonize over those purchases though.

I did not expect to be living in the Zoids universe, but here we are.

You’re kinda wrong man. There’s a bunch of counties where dollars are essentially the main currency. I go to Lebanon often and yeah, USD is the main currency, esp after the financial crisis a few years ago. There’s also Ecuador where USD is the actual official currency.

Not sure what camera you’re shooting on, but if blurry photos are an issue I would suggest to increase the shutter speed as fast as possible. You might need to increase iso to compensate. If your camera has a shutter priority mode, try that and set the speed to something like 1/500 or faster.

Also keep the camera close to your body, tuck in your elbows. You can also use your environment, like leaning on a tree or wall. I’m often bracing against things if I need a bit more steadyness, esp in low light.

I’m a recruiter, this is 100% their default rejection template. It’s pretty standard, but at least they let you know! I’ve been looking for a new role lately and you’re lucky to get that DQ email and not just ghosted.

I’m convinced the whole Dutch directness thing is just a marketing ploy to put a positive spin on their poor communication and apathy.
