xzez··on Eddie Bauer declares bankruptcy
I'm the same size. They still have tall variant tops but tall bottoms/pants seem to have been gone for a while now.
xzez··on How to free up and automatically manage disk space for WSL
I used to use the `npiperelay` method but have since switched to this and it works nicely.
xzez··on Internet drama in Canada
To add to this. I believe the copper and coax infrastructure was subsidized by the gov't and so regulations were created to require granting independent ISPs wholesale access to the (last-mile) infra. AFAIK there are no similar regulations for the fibre networks as those were not subsidized.

The telecoms which own this infra have been lobbying hard to erode those regulations, and, they've been rather sucessful because the CRTC - the telecom regulatory body - has been composed largely of ex-executives of said telecoms.

Oh and if you think the internet situation is bad up here in Canada, then wait 'till you hear about our mobile phone rates.

xzez··on Fujifilm X-T2 review: for the love of photography
The raw specs are objective can be clearly stated as superior. Handling and ergo is a subjective and largely personal preference. I'll agree that the Fuji X-T* has some better ergo, but to me the difference over the A7 is marginal and not at all vastly superior.
xzez··on Fujifilm X-T2 review: for the love of photography
My sentiments exactly.

I used a fuji X-E1 before I picked up my A7. I really enjoy the Fuji X series, but the prices are so close to the Sony A7 series that the extra expense is more than worth it for the clearly superior Sony FE system. I mean, the X-T2 is pretty much the same price as an A7ii.

I do love the build and feel of the Fuji XF lenses though, particularly the lenses that have the aperture ring.
