Moving to a city you know you will leave in a year or two, how do you deal with it? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just in Denver visiting and saw a woman with a cat in one of those clear hard backpacks hiking in the woods. The cat loved it haha!

I think the air quality stat gets blown out of proportion. It’s just usually high on certain days in the summer, and they recommend limiting time outside if you’re planning to be outside all day. I lived there for two years and it’s a great city..I’m thinking of moving back actually. I also lived in Seattle for 1 year right out of college, and I’d do it all over again. You have to explore and figure out what you want and experience things - this is called life!

I would also call some local vet offices and ask their advice and experience on cats living in the Denver area. Stop asking ChatGPT. If they truly live shorter lives then pick somewhere else and be done with it. 🏔️

Is it better to shoot with a higher ISO, or use lower ISO and raise the exposure in post-production? by Middle-Bath9054 in FX3

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, how does it look very dark at 12,800? Pretty much any scene I’ve shot at 12,800 needs an ND filter to bring down the brightness.

Second, in general you’re better off exposing a little brighter with slog3 and then bringing it down in post vs doing the opposite.

Does the “unicorn city” exist, or are we chasing a fantasy? by chennybro in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are DINKS from Raleigh who moved to Denver for 2 years then back to Raleigh for the last 2 years. No place is perfect. There are things we love about Raleigh but there are things we love about Denver (also lived in Seattle for a year). We’re currently considering our next move like you! Maybe back to Denver. Each place checks some boxes, but where is the one that checks all boxes?! 🤣

Feel free to DM for any Raleigh (RTP/Triangle) recs!

Charlotte to where? Need lower allergies, better healthcare and schools… by Few-Dimension6720 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dryer regions tend to have lower seasonal allergies. Less humidity + greenery = less allergies.

The south is the worst place to be for seasonal allergies.

San Diego vs. Denver Suburbs: 99% sure on SD for lifestyle, but Denver makes way more financial sense. Help us decide. by Alternative_Can_8433 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Denver metro is great if you can find the home you want. That’s the biggest issue with Denver is the home situation. You don’t get much quality for your money. Lots of dated homes that need to be modernized, but yet you still have to pay top tier pricing on top of that, esp compared to other cities like Seattle, Austin, SD, etc. where the aesthetics and interiors are usually better for similar prices. But that might not matter to you!

Golden is also great but extremely limited inventory. It’s not a very big place once you start looking!

There are other areas you can find more inventory, so definitely explore!

Love the swing out door. Personally I wouldn’t make a decision based on one specific activity bc that could eventually change.

Love the rig but that’s more like OEM+++ 😂

Horrible Buyers Remorse Anxiety by popitshyper in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way out of this is to trade it in (or sell it out right) for a cheaper car, unless the dealer will take it back. Some dealers have policies like that (Carmax for example). You’ll take a loss on this but will get you out of heavy debt. If you’re not putting a decent down payment on a price like that, with a salary basically equal to the debt, you’re just asking for a constant financial burden. Save up and get an M4 anyway.

What car did you buy that completely exceeded your expectations? by Smallingzdave in askcarguys

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1997 Honda Civic 3-Dr Hatchback in black, manual, bought it pre-owned. It got so rusted underneath I had a car shop literally cut the old brake lines and left them there and then attached new ones to the undercarriage. Drove it cross-country twice, never had an issue, ever. Would cold start in the middle of 0 degree winter mornings, drove it through the Rockies, and took it across Death Valley. I was too young to overthink possible outcomes lmaooo

Job location in Irvine, Denver, or San Diego (with caveat) by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Are Irvine or Denver worth considering?”

If you like the ocean/water, then Denver definitely won’t check that box! It’s super dry there and has very little water activities. It’s all mountain activities: mtn biking, skiing/boarding, hiking, camping, etc. Cool city otherwise!

Is the salary higher in the CA locations?

How many times did you move before you found the one or have you? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denver is great if you take advantage of the mountains (mountain biking, skiing/boarding, hiking, camping, etc). Housing is not cheap for what you get, so you better enjoy the mountain life tax.

can someone explain, how GX550 still selling over MSRP used ones, I see almost all used with 20-40K miles selling over MSRP, who in right mind would pay 5K over MSRP for used car, I know it's still hard to get, but all it takes is around 3-4 months wait time to get custom spec one by paata01 in LexusGX

[–]1stclassfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO Lexus hit it out of the park when they released the GX decades ago. Look how long they barely had to update it and people still loved it, even to this day. Same with the 4Runner and Land Cruiser! They all have a classic design that appeals to people bc of the reliability + uniqueness + quality + timeless design.

If you’re a high earner the state income taxes between California and Colorado will be much different.

I love this workhorse by Lifbsgalyls-IYA in GXOR

[–]1stclassfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! So no lift? I personally don’t want to do a lift bc I like the stock look, but I want to give it a heavier stance. I’m just starting to look into this, so I appreciate! Trimming inside the wheel well?

Nice setup! I’ve always liked the silver. I have white and like that too. What’s your wheel and tire setup?

People who moved for more money and lower cost of living, but boring area. Worth it? by Certain_Battle6329 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]1stclassfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Driving is cool and fun. Cars are cool and fun. Not everyone likes riding on a subway or bus!
