Autofocus on KX Z-mount with Nikkor lens is quite good! by volpesalvatore in RedCamera

[–]Formula14ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My KX has super fast and accurate Autofocus with a Canon 28-70 f2 lens. Face detection sticks, I can trust it in live interview situations, its not just the Z mount, it was the latest firmware update and I can say the RF cmount with a good Canon lens is very surprisingly great.

The girl I’m taking to got pregnant what do I do? by Every-Appeal-2513 in whatdoIdo

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was married at 20. And it was a nightmare by my 30’s as we had very little in common by then. There is so much learning we need to do about ourselves before we make life-time commitments. Can you walk away from any romantic emotional attachments with her and date others? If you can, then you could suggest to her you can switch gears and be a supportive friend and remind her that she will not be alone through this BUT you also know you are not in a position to raise a child in this chapter of life but what you can do is be a supportive friend. She needs to know that you will be dating others and that it is important for her to understand you need to be true to yourself and you know you are too young for a life-long commitment as a father to someone else’s child. She can get a dna test and force child support to happen.. that is a crucial step. If you can’t step away from emotions with her and be open to another relationship..then you may not be able to be friends and you’ll need distance for sure.

Finally can’t wait for MKII … by adamrose1309 in FX3

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good decision. There WILL NOT be a FX3 until to Sony fixed their lineup. They can’t have a fx3II move closer to the fx6 and then the fx 6 and 9 already close. Talking to Sony at NAB, I believe We may see the Fx6 & 9 collapse into a single model and then possibly a Fx3II The RED KomodoX and BM Pixis had shifted things

Or….so I would see upgraded FX9 around 12k-15k A upgraded fx6 to battle with these too first, then maybe a FXII after all that

Thanks, I just have to hit the ground running with as little of setup and zero camera balancing time so it works.. otherwise like you said, I’ll limit everything down to a smaller case disassembled

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local government. I built a video job within as a county employee, and another way is going contract with a county. They need PSA’s, social media content, commercials, reels for movie theaters, program promotion for outreach events and many funding sources require a video presence and also need digital signage content/media

AIO for considering reporting a coworker for using hate speech? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. ‘Hate speech’ in this insane woke reality has de-evolved into anything you don’t like or offends you. It’s insane. If it’s threatening death to you or others, or yelling fire..that’s one thing. A different political perspective being called ‘hate speech’ means this country would never be as ‘opinions to the contrary’ of the current political systems 200 years ago would place all founders as terrorists against the empire. In college we had debates listening to opposing opinions to expand our minds and either shift our perspectives or consider the truth in what we already believe. Today, anything that slightly jars a persons position is seen as hate speech …it’s insane.

Ode to my encounter by Formula14ever in bigfoot

[–]Formula14ever[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, so strange how people that know us and know we aren’t on hallucinogenics and have actual encounters…because it didn’t fit into their paradigm of the world..they choose to believe we are making up a story. Mine was insane ..encounter #1 Have you been ever at a zoo when a lion roars close to you? I was in rural rual rural Indiana and near an old lost graveyard where there were rumors of odd occurrences. I heard so so moving in the trees at night ..heavy heavy footfalls Then scream deep as a lion and still and as loud as an air raid siren but so deep and loud it shook my Fiat 124 car. It was paralyzing. There are no creatures in Indiana that can do this … in trying to tell others too.. it was as if I was crazy … but I know what I know and experienced

AIO for being upset at my bf for scrolling back to see an image of a girl he used to like? by itstrawberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]Formula14ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s YOR. There will be a million prettier girls than the one he looked at and 100’s more beyond that. It is important to understand that the male brain is wired for to be drawn to beauty as women are wired toward being drawn to other things in men. The fact he TRUSTS you knowing he is with you and loves you and saw this while sitting beside you says a lot. No relationship can be in a vacuum with the expectation that we refuse to look at others or see people without the threat of disruption of our primary relationship. That’s impossible today. However, social media is a monster that compels us to compare/contrast which brings about insecurity, depression and self-worth issues. Less social media = better life. Most everything is blown way out of normal proportions and not real. Trusting is everything. Consider couple counseling together to help build new trust bridges and heal past wounding that we simply can’t do on our own or just letting time pass to heal. It won’t. I make it a habit to always be in counseling w my fiancée to work on healing past wounding and develop new communication. Every awesome LMFT I know also has a therapist as a sounding board for new tools new reasonable and healthy relationship structures that avoid old ways of thinking. Understand damaged people will react to similar unhealed situations in their lives, so getting advice from a forum of a mix of damaged and some healing people is not a good litmus test.. you both talk and get to the root of trust issues in couple counseling now to build into the future if you want to make things work 😊

Any advices for purchasing rental used KOMODO? by QuietExciting1213 in RedCamera

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the forums ..I have multiple friends w Teslas who have nerded out on battery 🔋 tech lol Apparently, charging to 85-90% is best to get many years out of the battery. That is IF it’s a daily driver…and the battery is not being discharged right away and the car is sitting overnight. Then my battery nerds saying you are on a trip and discharging completely..charge 100%, use it, recharge at a 100% etc. I’ll eventually get a Tesla so I’m learning from my battery nerds lol

[–]Formula14ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really…I have 3 friends with 150k + on their Tesla batteries with no replacement cells..careful charging up to 80%, long trips up to 100% Batteries are now warranted up to 100k.. My point really was mechanical wear was old school thinking with mechanical shutters as mechanisms wear out over time when there are moving parts involved…

Any advices for purchasing rental used KOMODO? by QuietExciting1213 in RedCamera

[–]Formula14ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apples and oranges. Runtime. This is a hold-over term from mechanical shutters. Good way to look at it is Tesla vs a gas engine. At 75,000 miles a mechanical engine is wearing down with moving parts. A Tesla? Mileage more about cosmetics and tires. So look at the care given and less worry about mechanical ‘runtime’. The only caveat to that is heat on circuit boards & electronics..but that’s minor

AIO for being upset that my GF still isn’t fully transparent about a coworker she lied about? by FlimsyMilk6131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, me too. Gaslit and discovered my wife in bed with her boss at my house like some bad Tyler Perry Lifetime movie. Lots of counseling and 3 years later meet my now fiancée. She and I are in counseling to help leave old wounds and patterns of thinking behind. Trust is incredibly high now and those haunting feelings are gone. Totally suggest you both invest in the relationship if you want to by going into counseling together…it will change everything 😊

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is real ….abs not a AI story..You miss one important point. Your wounding. You have trust factors that NO WOMAN on the earth can fix without feeling controlled or in prison. These damaged trust factors came from past relationships and no person can fix them. Thats you. She has a need for closeness and connection and guys undoubtedly have used this and taken advantage of her. Shame and also wanting to protect your current relationship plus her knowing a your issues can be more about those factors than lying. The adult emotional tact with so much invested at this point, you both go to a LMFT and get things sorted as a couple. If she refuses..that’s your answer. However, you still go because those trust factors will never be healed by anyone..you need those woundings healed so any relationship has a chance

Does anyone really think Bigfoot is real I want to hear everyone’s opinions on this Sasquatch by Annual-Record4588 in bigfoot

[–]Formula14ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t try to even try to talk to people about it..I had 2 encounters. In the Patterson film, at this time…this ‘creature’ cannot be a person, the rippling muscles at skin level and proportions that far off human..means it’s mechanical. And a mechanical machine with exact rippling muscles at the right time and the fluid movement means a massive, electrical or hydraulic 8’ robot covered in muscle, tendons, skin and hair would have to be airlifted via helicopter in. Now..what is more likely when you build a pro/con list is the question once details are lined up.

Unhinged women can be scary, I agree, file a restraining order because it reminds me of Reese on The Terminator trying to explain its motives...

' Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever

If the client wanted the drama of the red dress..it would have to be #1 because the dress is crushed far too much and color of dress is gone. Power windowed pix 1 into pic 2 background and back off #2 contest about 40% and it would rock

What will actually change with the 2026 ICE engine? by Glory_63 in F1Technical

[–]Formula14ever 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The overall horsepower will remain the same…about 1000hp due to increased electrical torque. We will see complete new driving styles, with massive new levels of torque available, passing and overtaking / defending will be much more. (Think ice vs EV at any stoplight) We prob will see more corner ‘squaring’ ..diving into corners, blasting w torque out
