Since I didn't put enough detail in my last question, I'll just reask it with added info.

I have a Asahi Pentax 50mm 1.4 and Canon 50mm 1.8

I have a Canon T3i, but I'm considering buying a Pentax to Canon lens adapter.

Would the Pentax be a better choice

Aside from the aperture difference, and material used to make it, which is the better lens? I have both, but can only shoot with the Canon, so my judgement on the Asahi Pentax 50mm 1.4 is very very limited.

Have you guys ever bought shoes/games/etc (Stuff that's normally not returnable after being opened/used, but can be exchanged), and exchanged them for something else. Then returned that item to get your money back?

I bought Vans, stupid enough to wear them right out of the store, tried returning them because of a better deal, so the store clerk gave me an exchange. I'd rather take the better offer, and save money.

Just a stupid question. How come they're made out of wood? Why not metal? Is it due to cost, or making it is a lot easier?

So I'm REALLY hoping I can get my two packages tomorrow (Saturday), but I'm not sure on the status of the whole Saturday mail. Googled it, and there's only articles saying Saturday mail still runs, but that was in April/March. What's the current status on Saturday mail? Still going, or is it done?

From my understanding, Goofy is your dominate foot in the front, and Regular is weak foot in the front. Does it really matter? Is there any advantages riding regular over goofy?

So, I just bought my first complete longboard. I ordered Abec 3s with them, but replacing them with Bone Reds. What exactly should I do with them in terms of storage/proper care? Just take them off, and put them in the box, or degrease them with citrus cleaner, then put them in the box?

Just curious. I want to have them in good condition just in case I need spare bearings.

I'm completely new to longboarding, so I want to get a good board, while getting it for a good price. I was looking at the Pintail 43. I'm 5'8 I think now, haven't checked, 175ish pounds. I want a good reliable board that will last long. Is the 43 a good option, or is there better ones?

So I've tried two gunnar computer glasses, both of the frames were very uncomfortable (My head's just big, going to go for their largest frame). The results I got were amazing, but I'm still wary whether or not I should get another pair. Not exactly sure if it really works, or it's just that since it's a different color, I THINK it works, when it doesn't (Forgot the word for that).

I spend about 10 hours a day during school days, and 14 hours or so during breaks (Depending on how tired I am, what I need to do, etc). My optometrist said wearing my prescribed glasses alone can help protect my eyes (The lens isn't gunnars, but the lens get darker when I'm in sunlight [forgot the word for it, translucent I believe?]).

So should I go with them (They're $60 used), or just use my glasses?

Is there really any bonus to buying separate ram sticks compared to just using the ones that came in a premade computer? The Corsair Vengeance series has vents (plastic shell), and higher Mhz, but I always wonder, "what's the point of buying these ram sticks." Can anyone explain the bonus in investing in better ram (if any).

Is the 50mm best for portraits on a crop sensor? If not, what is?

So I'm trying to eat healthier, but I have a huge addiction to popcorn. Is a bowl of lightly salt popcorn good (Cooked it myself with a little olive oil to keep it from burning)? I don't eat a lot, but I eat it once a day.

What ever happened to the view count YouTube had a few years ago? I remember having an extremely high "videos watched," around the five digit range. It disappeared, anyone know the reason for it? I always like analytics like those

Please critique my photos. I'd like to know what I can improve on. The street/black and white photos are from my second semester of photography, and the park + shoe photo is from my first semester. Just for comparison reasons, so you can see the difference within a few months.

Please note that the shoe one is not the original. I was testing around in PS, so I did a really quick lomo edit.

I liked this girl for about 3 years now, on and off. Recently, my friends were joking around with me, by doing some pranks that involved me getting closer to her (They don't know I like her). The jokes would be them texting her that I liked her, telling me that she has my shoes (They jacked em, gave em back though), and other stuff. I had to text her back, pretending that I was the victim, and we start our convos from there. I mean it's not a HUGE deal if I got with her or not, it would be nice if I had a summer thing with her. Ever since I saw her at this one place, I can't stop thinking about her

The main problem is that her high school status is like reallyyyy up there. Smart, pretty, popular. My status is pretty much the opposite. I just don't have enough motivation to go after her. She's pretty much out of me league. My friend told me she liked someone, but I'm not sure if he was joking or not.
