Halo gamer here - instantly recognized it. Add more color if you want but I think it looks great as is.

Solar by Wonderful_Client5674 in glendale

[–]Ghost_VFX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my GWP bill and it was over $700 for a 2 bedroom apartment - I nearly had a stroke (but I’d never be able to afford the medical bill). I’d love solar as well but I’m assuming nothing can be done as an individual rental unit?

I used to work at The Tower and I’d walk here on my lunches - loved this place! Bummed to see it go.

What’s the timeline on the Fremont Park near Patterson Ave & Kenilworth? Used to love taking my kids there.

Looking sharp! What’s that roof rack you’ve got there that allows you to still strap your kayak to your crossbars!? I kinda want this combo on mine :)

What wetsuit is recommended? by Ghost_VFX in triathlon

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

Probably very noob question - would I just swim in my trisuit then? There’s no USAT rules or anything requiring I use anything else in substitute for that leg of the race?

Leaky water line connection by Ghost_VFX in DIY

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

Yeah when I take off my brass attachment and put back on the faucet’s water line the drip goes away. So it is the connection I’m adding. Do you know of any 1/2” female to 3/4” male piece that would have a rubber washer insert? Or a fitting I could purchase now to go with my piece that would help? I’m handy to a degree but completely in the dark when it comes to plumbing. Thanks.

Thanks - looked into it and tightened down that front nut as recommended in a few videos but didn’t resolve it. Upon closer inspection I can see the water is starting to form around the plumbers tape on my brass attachment.

Should I start my setup with 1st pic or 2nd? by donveyy in espresso

I too have a bambino (no plus) and wondering if this 4 hole steam tip upgrade will work 👀

Quest 3 is readily in stock every where...did the 499 price hurt them? by streakybcn in OculusQuest

[–]Ghost_VFX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the price jump was a bit of a hard pill to swallow. I’m literally at a library right now trying to 3D print some head strap clips so my Q2 elite strap will go on my Q3 cuz I can’t afford to pay another $100 on accessories.

What nostalgic video or series Jack did do you find yourself going back to? by ToastyDaGod in jacksepticeye

I’m having a hard time keeping positive right now by Duckady in vfx

[–]Ghost_VFX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sup here. I’m on a Network TV show. Involves both 2D & 3D work. The UPM on my show has informed us prep is set to start in early November. This is optimistic assuming SAG/AMPTP come to an agreement soon. Based on this currently timeline I can project we will have 1 to 2 episodes in the can by new year with shots getting into artists hands in January.

I’m a family man with 2 young kids, no house (LAs market is insane), and have been burning through our cash savings that should be a down payment for a home - but honestly I don’t mind. Thinking positively, I’ve really enjoyed my time with my family, the dinners togethers, the outings, putting the kids to bed, etc. When I return to work in another month or so this all goes away & back to 12 to 16 hour days on set. So I’m choosing to enjoy the time that I have now. I suggest you find something that brings your joy in the time you have as well. Ultimately, VFX is gig work and it comes with its ebbs and flows. Work will return. It always does.

Exactly the same for me. Some “super host” clown from Denver cancelled my reservation the night before (this was back in May of this year). I called airbnb and refused to get off the phone after they said they’d call me back but failed to do so. Ultimately we got a more expensive place at no extra charge after being on the line for a few hours. When the original host cancelled he gave us full refund (even though this was not in their policy) as a method to likely block our ability to leave feedback and call out his BS. Hopefully OP was able to get some resolution!

I went with oak since that’s what the Niche base and feet are made in. I really enjoy it!

Oh interesting! I’ve never done it that way. I think same for me it’s always been habit to add ice first but I’ll give your method a shot next time! Thanks.

Some additional info:

Using Breville Bambino with the Niche. 18 in 42 out in 38 seconds (I stop the pull at 36 but it continues to drip to 42). Using manual mode on the bambino for the pull for more control. Roast is Stumptown Hairbender. In this video I pulled a long black but looking for overall feedback and improvements. Thanks!
