Google is your friend. I recently did this foe an E-M1 II, it is like cracking a safe. But better than having to download software on my computer... are you listening Canon? Why is this not just a menu item listed in the same area as firmware on all cameras? What's the big secret? Seriously, I want to know!

My mustache started darkening up some 40 hears ago, it's salt and pepper now... Well mostly salt. Never been shaved. I have had beards sometimes for years. Now I just grow it out for the winter months.

Subaru. My stepson drives one that has over 300,000 miles on it. The one he had before that had 450,000 miles on it. They run forever with normal maintenance. We just traded our 2012 outback with 78,000 on it and got 3,000 over book balue on the trade. I would not even flinch at buying one with 200,000 miles as long as it had service records.

Don't buy mac. Twice the price for half the power. Stick with windows.

You can get an ASUS Zenbook 14 for half that. Comes with 16 gb memory, 512 gb ssd and 1 tb hdd. That leaves some money towards your back up system.

Sigma 17-50 ex dg os hsm. It's as good as the canon 17-55 and right now you can get a refurbished one from sigma for $279. I used this lens for years and loved it. It has a fast aperture, Optical stabilization and fast accurate silent auto focus. It really is an unsung bargain.

Actually, in this case, is there anybody better positioned to know than the government? Who else could even coordinate all the information through departments of health? Who else could synchronize the assets where they belong? Who else could keep us alive while we are quarantined? Fat cats? They are able to live on their portfolios (such as they are--but only the government could hold up the stock market now). Our government is certainly one of the best organized, equipped, and staffed, in the world. We should be proud of it.

our government has been decimated by the current POTUS. All of the "best" staff have been fired or chased off and replaced with "acting" officials, most with no experience or qualifications for the post they hold other than they have supported the president either in action or donation. If you rely on the current federal government to make sound decisions you will likely end up in one of the refridgerator trucks parked at hospitals around the country.

This is supposed to be a photography forum not a socialist steering forum. Where is the panic about the annual flu deaths that outnumber this by many thousands? I apologize. I get carried away with the "liberal" nonsense.


once again, the MORTALITY RATE for C****-** is currently at least 20 times higher than influenza. Influenza might k**l 50,000 people in 12 months. C****-** has k**led twice that in a month! So by that particular standard c****-** is 12 times worse than infuenza. Do the math. Oh, and stop watching fox news.

I used wasabi batteries in my 60d the entire time I owned it. I never experienced any issues. I purchased 3 batteries and a dual charger when I bought the caamera new. The one oem battery that came with the camera died and would no longer charge about a year and a half before I sold it. All 3 wasabi batteries were still worki g fine.

...noticed some questions about how serious the common flu is relative to Covid-19. This link at the CDC may be helpful -- it provides flu statics for the previous 10 years -- and might surprise you.

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

You'll note that in 2017-2018 flu season October-March the CDS estimated...
45,000,000 US residents had the flu
21,000,000 visited a doctor
810,000 were hospitalized
61,000 died
Appears to have been much worse than Covid-19, so far --- AND there were immunizations and proven therapeutics available for this common flu. Don't remember any business shutdowns or shelter in place orders -- in fact, I don't recall the news media even mentioning it.

Last year, 20-18-2019, the numbers are...
35,520,883 US residents had the flu
16,520,350 visited a doctor
490,561 were hospitalized
34,157 died

Not sure what it is going to take to get people to understand. IT IS THE MORTALITY RATE!!! According to your numbers for 2017-2018 listed above the mortality rate was .1% that's 1/10th of a percent. Todays global numbers show COVID-19 to have a mortality rate of 6.8%... 68 times higher. And the rate for the US is 5.4%... 54 times higher. If you do the math and use the global rate of 6.8%, over 3,000,000 people would have died!

I have been socially distant my whole life. I prefer to be alone with the exception of family (and even they are overbearing at times). It is no great change for me to stay away from others. I now have an excuse to ignore anyone who sees me in public an thinks I want to chat. I just get in my truck and drive away.

The real problem becomes those that listen to the predator and go out mobbing around then cause a whole new outbreak overwhelming the medical communtity.

On another touchier note I say let the predators' fans go out and mob about, it will certainly help the idea of getting the predator out of the way.

Will the 'beer belly' become a thing of the past?

A visible casualty of a relentless attack on the US society?


we make our own wine. In the absence of fresh grapes we have been able to use 100% fruit juice with no preservatives successfully. But we have a fair selection homeade in the cellar. We usually have an inventory of the required ingredients.

The flu is simply not news. They weren't routinely reporting flu statistics before Covid-19 came along and made the news, since it is very contagious and can be spread by asymptotic people, and threatened to overwhelm our health systems, leading to shutting everything down. Now efforts to find a vaccine or treatment and plans to reopen the country are also news. If you want flu statistics, or statistics on other cause of large numbers of deaths, they can easily be found.


The difference is the mortality rate. COVID-19 cases in the United States estimated at a mortality rate of 10% to 27% for those ages 85 and over, 3% to 11% for those ages 65 to 84, 1% to 3% for those ages 55 to 64 and less than 1% for those ages 20 to 54.
For comparison the mortality rate of influenza is .01%. Yes that is 1/100 of a perceent. That makes COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 100 times more deadly at best and as much as 2700 times more deadly at worst depending on age and health. And they can't treat it, nothing works. And there are now reports that it may lie dormant in those that are asymtomatic only to rear up after weeks or months or maybe not at all. In South Korea there are reports that even those tbought to have recovered are falling ill once again weeks later.

I know some of you will scream conspiracy. So in my defence I will state that I live with a research journalist who has been covering this outbreak since late January. We started staying home in isolation by mid February voluntarily. This will not magically dissappear just because the money mongers of the world want to have wall street raging again. It may in fact be like AIDS and take 40 years to find a truly effective treatment.
