What's the difference between a point and shoot cam to a DSLR? they are just the same for me but DSLR prints are really more detailed than the point and shoot camera. I would like to have a DSLR but It's more expensive than the...

point and shoot cam vs dslr

Avetre DSLR shots are not inherently better than a shot taken by a point and shoot of similar quality. What makes them better is the skill of the photographer; DSLRs are meant to be used by professionals and skilled hobbyists who know how to adjust all of the various...

Hi myLotters! I checked if there were any discussions about this but they were all quite old, so I though I'd start a new topic :) My hands and feet are almost always really cold, especially in winter (of course). I've heard...

Avetre Coldness in the extremities has lots- and lots and lots- of potential causes, including diabetes, food allergies, being overweight, and anemia. Exercise encourages your body to send more blood to your extremities, and try cut down on caffeine if you consume it...

Yesterday, while I was busy cleaning in our place. I can hear our neighbor scolding his 14 year old kid. Of course, anyone who gets scolded by their parents in front of many people is a little embarrassing, too. Then this...

Avetre Oh, my. Call Child Protective Services on him, if you haven't already! There is a fine line between "bad parent" and "abusive", and he has clearly long since crossed it. This kid's father is setting her up for either repeatedly taking abusive partners or...

Atheism is suppose to be the non belief in deities, so all deities would be included. So why do Atheist always seem, at lest to me to be trying to debunk Christianity? If you go onto YouTube you can find countless videos of...

Avetre First off, atheist/atheism is not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence. It is not a religion, but a philosophy based on the idea that there are no Gods. Just as the vast majority of theists (people who believe in God(s)) are nice, respectful...

Hello lotters, I am not even sure if atheism can be considered a religion though, i hope atheist people can give us a proper explanation of this. this is the religion that doesn't believe in GOD at all and they think...

Avetre Actually, China proves your hypothesis wrong. China is almost universally atheistic and their crime rates are quite similar to crime rates in the United States. An atheist won't simply ignore their conscience just because they do not believe in a God; after...

I met my husband on the internet, and was recently married. I am now seeing that he has many internet friends that are women. He also has some that he is friends with that call him. He got upset with me when I told him I gave up...

Avetre The way you phrased that makes it seem as though every man is just waiting for an opportunity to cheat on his wife, and that every woman is out to jump into bed with the men they've chatted with online. That's the exact opposite of trust. If she's going...

Hey all. This world of warcraft is one of the most popular game in the world if its not THE most. In my opinion I think its crazy to pay 20$ per month to play a game and I think that too many person get away from the real life...

Avetre Oh, dear. Don't bother with free servers. Since they are totally unauthorized, not to mention borderline illegal, they have to reverse-engineer the code every time a new patch or expansion comes out. To make matters worse, they don't have access to any of...

Avetre Actually, the game is $15 a month. This may seem steep to some people, but it's cheaper than lunch and a matinée where I live. Lunch and a movie takes two to three hours. I play WoW for an hour or two a day on average, and I have more fun playing it than...

Avetre For clarity's sake: I am female, I am married, and my husband's friends are about 50-50 in terms of gender.

Avetre Obvious? I think not. Ladylily is potentially being just as inconsiderate; these women are his friends. It is never okay to demand that one's spouse or significant other give up their friends just because those friends happen to be of the opposite gender.

Hello fellow mylotters. I have a bit of a drama going on. I have a steam boiler, and had someone take it apart in the summer to re-pipe it because it was done wrong. The guy did finally remove the pipes, but never did finish the...

Avetre Assuming that you had a contract written out for the job you can easily take the contractor to small claims court, and he can be forced to finish the job or pay for someone else to. Technically you can still bring a verbal contract to court, but the burden is...

Avetre You should not be worried unless he starts hiding things from you. He may simply get along better with women then men in general. No one should have to give up any friends when they get married- male or female- unless the friendship is not healthy to begin...

We have a wifi router at home. It is open most of the time because a lot of household members use computers almost all at the same time. We have installed a password on it. Though, there are times when I think our wifi connection...

Avetre If you have a sufficiently strong password, the slowdown is unlikely to be the fault of unauthorized connections. First, check what your other household members are doing. Streaming music and shows or playing online video games can lag other users on the same...

Avetre Did you ask her if she needed help first, or did you just touch her with no warning? If she had a cane she probably really didn't need the help, and I know I react poorly when someone touches me unexpectedly.
