    I'm not an expert but I used to work in a camera shop. People would tear their hair out trying to figure out which DSLR to buy. Here's my advice for buying a DSLR that would've gotten me fired:

    1. Make sure a smartphone camera can't do what you want your DSLR to do. Some smartphone cameras are very good. Under some conditions, the camera on many flagship phones is going to take better pictures than many DSLRs. This is especially true if you want to shoot 4k video. Why buy redundant equipment especially when a phone fits right in your pocket? If you still want a camera...

    2. Get the cheapest body you can find w/ a good sensor so you can spend more of your budget on lenses. If I were going to buy a DSLR today, I'd go on DxOMark's sensor rating site (https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Ratings) and scroll down until I found something cheap enough. Then I'd go on eBay and buy it used for even cheaper. I'd probably end up buying a Nikon D7200 (or a D610 if I could find it cheap enough).

    3. Try to get your hands on one if you live near a store. Some cameras might just feel uncomfortable to you. Make sure you don't hate the display.

    One thing you don't want to do is get attached to a particular model of camera unless you have a very good reason for it (i.e., it's in your price range and is pretty good at what you want it to do or it fits a lense you already have). Keep your mind open.

    This makes me frustrated hearing you say that and seeing your weekly earnings, because I've done the same thing this week and I'm only at like $60 for the week because of it :emoji_joy:

    Looks like something that would be best solved with Google Calendar's daily view, to me.

    Yeah, they did, but it probably would have been a way more interesting story if she didn't.

    Yeah, it's all real. You basically forfeit your right to sue the person and allow Judy to decide your fate. It's really favorable for small claims things because you still get paid for being on the show and all that jazz, so even if you lose you kinda win.

    2 years of building up a include list and having masters will allow you to do that. For the most part if I'm feeling lazy I just watch twitch or anime ect and do stuff that pops up on my include list (overwatch).

    @Randomacts BTW, I finally got around to ordering more of the wild strawberry tea (they also gave me 2 free samples of it in my box and a free sample of the Sagittarius tiny tin) and made a true tea-to-water ratio batch. It was delish. 10/10 will order more.

    Don't let him fool you too much. He's monitoring MTurk throughout the day, if he's not in front of the computer he's still listening to his TTS alerts on his phone.

    Most of us won't turk the way @Randomacts turks.
