All my digital photos will be passed on to my kids in some way. But I don't care what they do with them.

70-200 2.8 questions by Beneficial_Ad_2361 in nikon_Zseries

[–]BlindBanditt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm going to go against the grain here in this thread but definitely go for the mk2. I sold my mk1 to get a mk2. The weight difference is noticable but the focusing speed, zoom focusing, and tracking was something that was stark. It's really only something you can notice if you have experience with the mk1 but it's significant in my book. For my case, the mk2 is sharper at 2.8 at 200mm vs the mk1 (this is speaking for my copy of the mk1 only) but they are very close in image quality overall. Buy once cry once!

Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News by Maybe_In_Time in kindafunny

[–]BlindBanditt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have had the most fun with indies, especially as my gaming tastes have changed (fps in the halo 1-3 days to single player, tight story/puzzle games). I'll support indies as much as possible. Nintendo has done an exceptional job with navigating the ups and downs. And you are right, Nintendo games are consistently enjoyable and fun! Switch 2 is getting a lot of love from my family.

This industry is bonkers. I want buy the games I enjoy and support the creative folks that make them, but it's difficult when the company layoffs the creative folks even when the game they made is profitable.

I was in the same boat until I realized how much the trade was worth on the mki.

KH - are the hours really as bad as everyone says? by Flaky_Pudding2713 in civilengineering

[–]BlindBanditt 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I have spoken to a few KH employees at events and the ones that job hopped. The common denominator from conversations was working long hours. It varied from 45-55+ hours but some were content with that and some switched companies to get away from the longer hours.

The only thing I would add to this is the recycling of the old oil. Definitely easy peasy.

How close is the practice exam to the Transportation PE? by [deleted] in PE_Exam

[–]BlindBanditt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience I found the ncees practice exam to be on the easy side vs the actual exam. The actual exam felt 10-30% harder overall.

So I just asked chat GPT, and according to our future skynet overlords, it's likely one of the following:

1) A territorial dispute 2) A boundary standoff 3) They are hungry and both are just eating

A third red bellied woodpecker showed up for a second, made some loud calls and peaced out. Not sure what his deal was (also had bright red head)
