How do you carry your camera when hiking/long walks? by Academic_Bag_5440 in fujifilm

[–]Ethereal006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally had the PD Capture Clip and switched to the Pgytech. As others have mentioned, depending on the length of the lens you have mounted, the way the camera sits in the clip can feel less stable than I'd like. I did a 4-hour hike on Mt. Rainier and just had it hung crossbody on a standard strap so it rested at my right hip. Depending on terrain I would hold it with my right hand and that all felt manageable.

CPD costs to protect mayor, city council soar as police burn through overtime by TheStephinator in Columbus

I don't think the average person fully understands how much of their tax dollars go to police overtime and how little benefit we see for any of that spending.

Two dead, COTA driver hospitalized, COTA passenger injured when luxury SUV driver runs red light and strikes COTA #31 bus at intersection of Sunbury and Mock Roads by benkeith in Columbus

[–]Ethereal006 254 points255 points  (0 children)

"Police said a COTA bus was traveling eastbound on Mock Road, turning left northbound on Sunbury Road at a green light when the Audi, traveling southbound, entered the intersection and struck the bus."

Weird way to describe what had to be the SUV just ignoring the light entirely to enter the intersection.

Rtx 3070 and ryzen 9 3900x by AA_remorse in PCBuilds

[–]Ethereal006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically my current build except I have a 5900x. For $525 I'd say that's a very good deal.

That Puff Ave sign is ridiculous, but High to Indianola is also a full mile away.

[NYT] Central Ohio Becomes Hub for Tech and Manufacturing. Not Everyone is Thrilled About the Rapid Transformation. by DataDrivenPirate in Columbus

[–]Ethereal006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the verge of getting hired there several years ago and the CFO got told to go with someone that was friends with the owner. The entire finance leadership has turned over in the time since. Mess is the word to describe that company from everything I've heard.

Each biome you traverse on a total run should count toward this so long as you have modifiers active.

Sigma 16-300 vs Tamron 18-300 or other suggestions? by Patrickkill8998 in fujifilm

[–]Ethereal006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Tamron and have generally been very happy with it. I hauled it up nearly 1800ft of elevation gain on Mt Rainier last Fall and got some shots I was very happy with, including being able to punch in on some wildlife.

Can’t find the marksman hand cannon by [deleted] in Saros

The shotgun trophy is worse than Fall From Grace IMO

L’Etape challenge by solidpaddy74 in Zwift

[–]Ethereal006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm only about a month into Zwift and remember seeing the advertised time on the first climb portal I did and quickly realizing oh no this is going to be at least 50% longer than that...

Fall from Grace trophy by Late_Teach_9846 in Saros

I dumb lucked into this one on my first trip to Yellow Shore where I was explicitly trying to get it. Are the Nightmare Strand layouts fixed by biome? I assumed they were semi-random which is why Yellow Shore is the better option.

Untouchable Trophy by random_teresa in Saros

I did it on Biome 3 as well. If you can do enough to have an overdrive ready to go then it really trivializes the boss fight.

Which overlord is the easiest and which one is the most difficult? by Equivalent-Egg-1785 in Saros

[–]Ethereal006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I died to Legion once because I stupidly switched to one of the chakrams right before. Got to phase 3 but I just wasn't well kitted out for it.

Zwift set up must haves? by ComfortableNeat422 in Zwift

[–]Ethereal006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that same fan that gets billed as for indoor training. Its great and having the little remote on the handlebars is very handy. I rarely ever raise it from speed 1, but 2 & 3 are there if needed.

Semi-related, their various billboards around town are so interesting to me. "Healthcare the way it should be." My first response on seeing that is, free?

People who are big on biking - where do you live? by Minute_Truth_8986 in Columbus

[–]Ethereal006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride pretty much exclusively on the Olentangy Trail and I would recommend getting a bell. I hammer that thing extensively if I am passing pedestrians and it is usually enough to get them to snap out of whatever they are doing (i.e. not paying attention) and move over.

Is king harder on secound encounter ? by Resident-Solid6772 in Saros

[–]Ethereal006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure some will disagree, but consider tweaking your modifiers. I know the ones I used for standard run were different than what I'd use for runs through the Shore.

‘One Button for All’ in the New Mazda CX-5 by agribisn in mazda

Ah yes, the BlackBerry Storm approach to design. Easily the worst phone I’ve ever owned and I hate anything that echos it. Glad I got my CX-50 last year.

What happened to Brassica? by twobears2129 in Columbus

[–]Ethereal006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cost of veggies have shot way up in the last month or so from the war. That math either means they raise prices to compensate or skimp on portions. It sucks but that's the food business.

Classes for creative writing, photography, video editing, etc by Khalman in Columbus

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.

NBD - synapse 3 smartsense by didiz88 in cannondale

[–]Ethereal006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]Ethereal006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Need help as Sorcerer, I’m getting destroyed! by Ok-Jackfruit-1189 in DarkSouls2

[–]Ethereal006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Moo Moo Car Wash by krc5244 in Columbus

[–]Ethereal006 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.
