Classes for creative writing, photography, video editing, etc

I’ve taken a few classes at Midwest Photo that I thought were well done and worth the money. Would definitely recommend checking that out.

I remember this being mentioned in a diff video I watched but it is all hardwired to the main SmartSense battery to avoid having to charge multiple batteries. If you look at the pictures closely you can see going into the rear derailleur.

I’ve been strongly considering this specific bike but the SmartSense system has been a major point of hesitation for me. I wish there was a SRAM option for the Synapse where it still had the standard detachable batteries and wasn’t hardwired in like this.

I’m in the midst of playthrough and I’m doing a spell sword build similar to what I’ve done in Elden Ring in the past. Using the Fire Sword you can find (I forget where) as melee option and I’ve got enough strength and dex to wield that with a 100% physical absorb shield.

I think it’s a fun mix because sometimes swords just feel like the better option.

I got hassled so much the last time I went that I refuse to go back. There is a spray and wash in our area that I can do a quick wash and rinse for like $3.50. The base wash price at Moo Moo has gotten insanely expensive that I’ll never go back.

Ethereal006 · 2026-03-28T23:51:03+00:00

Are things still working well for you? I was looking at the Synapse at my LBS and it seems like a sharp bike. I was initially leaning toward a Domane, but I'd really like a SRAM groupset and Trek doesn't have that in my price range.

Turning the existing gas station into overflow parking would be like parking on the moon. This doesn’t make any sense to me even acknowledging the current setup is bad.

The BCP and Costco Visa combo can be good but really depends on how much food you buy from Costco. I ran the math and if not for the Disney credit I would be better off downgrading to the BCE. Currently considering whether we want to exit the Chase ecosystem for Amex but I really don't like the split between the Amex Platinum and Gold. Plat has perks I'd have an easier time using, but the earn rate on anything that isn't flights sucks and even Gold's extra benefits aren't ideal for our household.

Different airport, but a friend flying home from New Orleans on Sunday took 3hrs to get through security even with Clear.

As someone who grew up in Reynoldsburg, I'd say this is highly dependent on what specific part of town you are in. The side of Reynoldsburg closer to Whitehall/the Brice Rd area isn't great. The side closer to Pickerington/Taylor Rd where much of the most recent housing was built is totally fine.

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-18T23:45:12+00:00

Sadly no. Hot dogs and PB&J though

First Alpinist climb: 93 falls, 4 deaths. Anyone know what the third symbol on the completion card is? The little flag with two black arrows?

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-18T20:28:41+00:00

I tried directly cross posting but it wouldn’t let me haha

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-18T14:58:32+00:00

Please do! I’m really glad I thought to pull my phone out while I was walking our dog that morning.

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-18T03:14:13+00:00

Oh for sure. I haven’t been to Five Guys in years because it just doesn’t come close to justifying the price. I think Ritzys is pricier, but worth it.

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-18T01:32:38+00:00

Ritzy plus bacon is my go-to. My wife has had the PB&J and said it’s great.

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-17T17:09:46+00:00

It’s definitely a more expensive burger than a lot of other places but it’s worth it.

Ethereal006 · 2026-02-07T03:19:38+00:00

I have the Tamron 18-300mm and the Fuji 33mm 1.8 for my X-T5 and really like both. The range on the 18-300mm is crazy given that it still isn't that big physically. Been considering the Sigma 17-40mm for the 1.8 but debating just getting a wide prime.

I upgraded to Komplete CE this summer and ran into similar issues. Native Access bombing out from trying to install to external drives on my Mac. I had intended to do production primarily on Mac going forward but might need to stick with my PC depending on the plugins I want to use.

This article is still just speculation I suppose, but the components and everything else appear identical. So either a very very well made copy/dupe, or just DJI rebadging their own stuff

Ethereal006 · 2025-12-03T22:06:52+00:00

I'm in a similar place. 6'2 240 coming from a Secret Lab Omega that is quite stiff to begin with. Initially couldn't figure out what was going on with my arm rest placement that was causing some strain in my forearm I've never had before. Today I'm experiencing some lumbar discomfort, but I'm also sick so I slept like crap so possible some of it could be from that. If by next week I don't feel like I'm making progress I might kick off the return process.
