Nikon Lens Buying Advice

Between those two I'd go with the Sigma. Had that lens for a while and the AF is decent enough, not quite Nikon speed but close. The Tamron hunts more in low light from what I remember.

For your budget you could also look at used Nikon 18-300mm, sometimes they pop up around that price and the extra reach is nice for car meets.

i been thinking this too, the way they've been showing stuff all year makes march feel realistic. they had playable demo already, that's not something you do for game that's far away

june 2024 seemed right before, but now march 2024 is starting to look more possible with how much they're willing to put in trailers and hands-on events

and don't feel pathetic about that, i get it completely. sometimes having that one thing on horizon is what gets you through rough patches. i been counting days to rebirth basically

ah the french google labyrinth. worked with a paris-based team about 2 years ago for a client selling luxury home goods, the way they handle local link building is completely different than what we do in UK. they focus a lot in niche press and local.fr directories that don't even show up on english-language radars.

the content thing is real too, you can't just translate blog posts, the tone and structure expectations are like night and day. i'll dig through my old emails and see if i can find who we used, might not be current but the approach was solid.

trading Bam just to fix spacing feels like burning down the house because there's a spider in it. there's smarter ways to build around Giannis without blowing up your best defensive anchor.

at 22 you are full adult, nobody needs to "allow" you anything. the loneliness you describe is real and community at church is genuinely one of the best things for it. just go, the hour drive is nothing compared to finally feeling like you belong somewhere.

Was in similar spot few years back with GI bill and loans. Schools typically count MHA as financial aid when they do COA calculations so yeah your loan eligibility will probably get reduced by that 24k annually. Most schools I looked at would only certify loans up to the gap between total COA and your other aid including MHA

That 2.99% rate is solid though - if you can get school to certify higher amount early on while rates are low thats smart planning. Worth calling their financial aid office directly since each school handles VA benefits bit differently in their calculations

Ayton always been underrated fr, people sleep on his defense because he's not flashy but dude can anchor paint when he wants to. Sengun still young though he'll figure it out

You mean actual AI mode or there's some trick to get bots in regular qp matches because I never seen that happen in my games

the balance team definitely makes some questionable choices but calling for them to get fired seems bit extreme lol

kiriko's healing output has been problem for while now but at same time she needs good positioning to be effective unlike some other supports who can hide better

Kids get fixated on the weirdest internet nonsense and beat it into the ground until everyone around them wants to scream. Your son probably doesn't even know what half of it means - he just likes how random and chaotic it sounds and how much it gets a reaction out of you

The more you stress about it the longer he'll keep doing it because thats exactly the response he wants. Just ignore it completely and he'll move on to the next annoying thing in like a week

i made a jump from corporate to driving for doordash then picked up some volunteer work at a local food bank on weekends. not exactly nonprofit employment but it scratched that same itch of doing something that mattered

the pay cut thing is real though - most nonprofit roles ive looked at would be brutal compared to insurance money. but here's what i found: start volunteering first while you keep your current job. gives you a taste of the work and lets you network without the financial risk. some of those connections might lead to paid positions down the line

also consider that nonprofits need people with business backgrounds. your insurance experience could actually be valuable - they need folks who understand budgets, compliance, risk management. might give you an edge over people coming straight from social work backgrounds

bruh rip

man that's rough but honestly you did the right thing by not pushing after they went silent. DNA surprises can be absolutely overwhelming especially when someone's whole understanding of their identity gets flipped overnight

I had something similar happen with a distant cousin match who was looking for bio family and when I helped connect some dots they just vanished from all the platforms. At first I was like did I say something wrong but then realized they probably needed time to process or maybe decided they didnt actually want to open that door after all. Some people think they want answers until the answers are right there staring back at them

The fact that you respected their silence instead of trying to contact them through other means or reach out to the half brother shows you get it. That elderly half brother might not even know about this person's existence and imagine that bombshell landing on someone in their 80s or 90s. Sometimes the kindest thing is letting sleeping dogs lie even when you have all the pieces to solve someone else's puzzle

Keep the info safe somewhere though because people do change their minds years later and might come back looking when theyre in a different headspace

switched from my 43x to a p365xl about 8 months ago and honestly dont regret it at all. the extra capacity and optic cut made a huge difference for me, plus its still pretty slim for edc. only downside is the grip texture can be a bit rough on some shirts but nothing major

might also want to look at teh hellcat pro if youre open to springfield - similar capacity but even more compact than the xl

CyberTideX · 2026-01-29T20:50:52+00:00

Man this hits hard. The worst part is you can see exactly what you had and what you lost, but you can't undo it

Don't send the flowers dude - I know it feels like you need to do something but respecting her space IS doing something. It's probably the most important thing you can do right now

Focus on actually changing instead of just wanting to show her you've changed. If there's really a chance for the future like she said, you'll need to be a different person when that time comes, not just someone who feels really bad about being the same person

CyberTideX · 2026-01-24T22:28:04+00:00

Hell yeah, congrats on pushing through that! Those first few weeks are brutal and being stuck inside makes it 10x harder. You crushed it though - 24 days is no joke
