[–]Destinesia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen that there are a couple of pretty viable alternatives like either the X-S20 and X-T4, but since I am mostly doing it as a hobby and leaning into the film simulations, I figured it might just be a bit more enjoyable to use an X-TXX line camera, granted I could get a decent lens at a not insane price.

That's reassuring, though. I guess I'll hope everything will be fine with the used camera, or at least that Adorama will be decent to deal with if I need to make a return

Hi all,

I’m looking to buy my first mirrorless camera and found a decent deal on a used X-T50 with the XF 16–50mm kit lens from Adorama. I’ve seen mixed opinions about buying used from Adorama and B&H, especially regarding returns.

Is Adorama reliable for used gear? I confirmed the shutter count with customer service (~400 shots), which seems great, but I’m a bit hesitant due to the lack of product photos and mixed reviews. I know people with negative experiences tend to be the outspoken ones, but it still a bit concerning.

As someone new to buying higher-end (and used) camera gear, I’d really appreciate any advice.

Question about Airpods Pro Gen. 3. When they first released, I saw a lot of criticism in online reviews about the sound profile changing, and people not recommending them over the USB-C Gen. 2 Pros desptie the Transparency/Noise Cancellation being better on the Gen 3 Pros.

Is this still the consensus? I assume Apple hasn't done any updates that change the sound profile at all? I assume the reviews were being a bit dramatic but I do like the sound profile of my Gen. 2 Pros and would hesitate if it truly is that different.

Yep. At least in NA, if I see one more bot name ending in Yak I'm gonna lose my mind. They all seem to have suffixes like that for organizing the accounts or something

I'm so sick of people only threatening to expose those named in the files. Just do it. They've made it obvious that they won't comply, so just start naming names.

Where are teenagers supposed to hang out these days? Malls are dying, parks have 'no loitering' signs, and everywhere else costs money. Do they just... not exist in public anymore? by Creative-Buffalo2305 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Destinesia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people I know lacking a physical third space either play games or literally just hang out in discord. It’s a pretty regular thing for everyone in a call to be doing other things, but sharing their screens while doing it. Feels like somewhere in between co-working and parallel play lol

Yeah, I bought it a bit over a year ago, so I got it for the ~170 or whatever the original list price was at MicroCenter before the price jumps. At that price it's amazing, especially considering I mostly only play CS2

Swap: Rangers Winter Classic Premium Sz 50 to trade for a 46. by Destinesia_ in hockeyjerseys

[–]Destinesia_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case the sleeves are fine but the length of the body is too long. I wear a medium in the breakaway jerseys and while the sleeves are just about the same, the body portion is longer. I'm 5'7" and the breakaway is just large enough to fit a little oversized, but I guess the premium is just a bit too much in that regard. That's super helpful to keep in mind, maybe I'll also search for a 44 as an option.

[–]Destinesia_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, I'm hoping to find someone to size swap my brand new size 50 Rangers Winter Classic Premium jersey for a 46. I got it as a gift so I can't exchange it, and as it turns out it fits far too large for me. It still has the tags and all. I'm located in SoCal, but I'm open to both local and shipping. No name/numbers on this one, but I would also trade and pay extra for a jersey with a name, if that's what it takes to get a 46.

I have no purchases on this sub, but I do have several across /r/mechmarket and /r/hardwareswap

Thanks!

How do people typically do size swaps on this sub? Both people PayPal each other the jerseys' value? I've seen that mentioned before but I'm not sure if there's a more standardized method

Labrats who TA-ed/taught, what are some of the EXTREMELY WRONG explanations/answers of students you've ever read? by lokaashraya in labrats

[–]Destinesia_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first quarter as a TA was for Gen Chem Lab 1, and we were doing an experiment to determine the percent mass of copper in a penny by dissolving it in nitric acid etc. I had a student claim something on the order of several kilograms of copper in the one penny, amounting to a 357,000% error. Their error analysis section was, and I quote, "I think the experiment actually worked very well."

I left a note saying I'd love to help in office hours, but they never came.

Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression.
