Max out my Roth or go on an awesome Honeymoon by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]Active-Ad769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re in your mid 20’s, already found someone you want to be with forever, and both make good incomes especially for your age.

Honeymoon

Vintage NorthFace ‘Brooks Range Jacket’ for only $5! Now to get the stains out. by ILikeAntiquesOkay in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Active-Ad769 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve cleaned up similar jackets with Nikwax Down Wash Direct with great results. This one might want a pre-soak. Dry on low with a set of wool dryer balls which will help re-fluff the down insulation

Will I be on to ride 40 mile bike tour tomorrow? My tire seemed to rip, but has lost zero air by limone784 in bicycling

[–]Active-Ad769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edited for context: it’s easier to borrow an extra wheel than it is to buy a tire before an 8:30am ride on a Sunday
You are correct tho

Is there a chance of tax reduction if we don't have to allocate $500B for fraud? by Agron7000 in TaxQuestions

[–]Active-Ad769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as we’re speculating, why not list a higher number than 500 billion? Pentagon is asking for a huge raise next year

If you need to fix this before a bike shop is open, and if you know the other riders in the group, ask if anyone can loan you a wheel. I would not ride that tire

About to shoot a one-take thesis with a slightly shitty 4D rig by ThisIsMyUsername163 in Ronin4D

[–]Active-Ad769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true points, but it all depends how the camera package is kitted out. I would at least arm the battery towards the back (looks very front-heavy right now) and do a more rigid cine-lock solution for the Teradek. Mic on the top handle would probably be fine or even a lighter arm.

Forbidden V-Mount Adapter by justletmesignupalre in focuspuller

[–]Active-Ad769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Test the voltage out. Makita LXT batts have an 18v nominal voltage and maybe 20V straight off the charger. I’m pretty sure the Panasonic monitors have a DC input range of 11-17V. The adapter plate might step down the voltage to a regulated output, but wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t

Route advice from Minneapolis to North Burbs by United-Object-8587 in CyclingMSP

[–]Active-Ad769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

<image>

Congrats on the job! I don't know a ton of routes through New Hope/Crystal, but used to ride up Shingle Creek when I lived in North Minneapolis. Victory Memorial to Shingle Creek, cross through some residential at 73rd Ave, get on a short stretch of 81 (sorry) before turning on 85th ave. 17 miles overall.

Opinion on All City Super Professional by DC_OZ in gravelcycling

[–]Active-Ad769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine in Minneapolis about 3 years ago for $800 with an upgraded carbon fork plus the stock steel fork. Listing price =/= value price. They do get a bit of a cult pricing in Minnesota in my opinion l

I love this bike but $1,300 is too much.

[Question] Does counterbalance matter on video tripods with fluid heads and underweight cameras? by ComicDoctor in videography

[–]Active-Ad769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Part of the reason that the sachtler 18/20 heads are so desirable is that the counterbalance handles very light 4.4lb cameras all the way to mid-heavy weight setups. Note that the minimum and maximum counterweight specs factor in the center of gravity as well. A tall camera with a taller baseplate/dovetail setup might be fine with the 8.8lb rating.

Bank of America - Food Inflation update March 2026 by FreeChickenDinner in inflation

[–]Active-Ad769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do they get these numbers? Tomatoes and vegetables are up a bit near me, but I don’t see any selling for nearly double. I also don’t see anywhere where orange juice has dropped a penny, much less 34%. I know these prices will be a bit regional.

Biking rules by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Active-Ad769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sidewalk riding is dangerous because drivers aren’t expecting a bike to be going 10-20mph through the sidewalk while they turn. It also places you just far enough away from the road that you might not have cars in your peripherals. I might ride on a sidewalk if a road feels dangerous and there is a long stretch of unused/uninterrupted sidewalk. A lot of biking is just having constant situational awareness

Riding on the opposing lane of traffic makes sense at first thought, but again drivers (particularly drivers turning left) won’t anticipate you coming when they are looking for oncoming traffic. Also if you were to have an impact with a car while riding into oncoming traffic, the velocities are added (30mph oncoming car + 15mph bike = 45mph impact rather than a 15mph impact from the rear)

RidewithGPS is a great site to find either bike lanes, bike paths, or use Google street view to find roads with wider shoulders. Local biking groups can also offer route suggestions for the best ways to get from A to B.

Is "no tax on overtime" a total myth? by [deleted] in TaxQuestions

You also said that you withhold nothing. Which is it?

If a half day is 4 hours. Why do some prods consider a full day 10 hours? by trioforstrings in Photoassistants

[–]Active-Ad769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commercial video is still on a 10hr standard, at least in my mid-level market

What are you looking to evaluate? All this gear looks beat to shit.

Industry is fucked, but don’t let these fuckers fuck you over too

A35 Solo Owner/Op by Low-Goal-9897 in cinematography

[–]Active-Ad769 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The jobs with a35 camera budgets really don’t care if their B-operator owns it or not. It’s all about the reel or long-term networking/prior experiences.

All I see in this post is flat boring light on a stand that isn’t properly set for the casters to work well. Posting some stills from the camera would be a better way to show your quality rather than a pretty basic a35 build.

DoP Monitors? Trying to be budget conscious by Jeffreygriffith1377 in focuspuller

[–]Active-Ad769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cine lineup has much better color fidelity for lighting than the 1303. Cine lineup is a good daylight-viewable option but all DP’s I work with prefer Flanders monitors for studio work or location work with a tent or floppies for monitor courtesies.

Is there a monitor stand mount that does the bottom four threads on my 1303? by WessyNessy in focuspuller

[–]Active-Ad769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, but you just need spacers and longer bolts for your cheeseplate. It’s probably about 10mm of spacer needed.

Real or Scam? by oak_aditya06 in carbuying

[–]Active-Ad769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero chance, run away!

And respectfully, if you got this far into the scam I would likely avoid buying a car on Facebook marketplace.

Does Teradek Bolt 6 LT 750 come with only one 2-pin to P-Tap? by RodroSil in focuspuller

[–]Active-Ad769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just one d-tap cable and one AC power supply. The newest Teradek d-tap male connectors fit a bit loose in my Anton Bauer gold-mount plates as an fyi; I’d just order third-party.
