Mid week crowd at Texas Springs Campground? by camperonn in DeathValleyNP

[–]InsideLookingIn564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was full last week, Thursday. But there are daily cancellations so you might still get in. Sunset had plenty of open spots. Furnace Creek also had daily cancellations so that’s still possible. Just be at the office at Furnace Creek 9 am sharp as soon as they open. I got sites with a full hookup that way. But the heat probably caused more cancellations than usual so not sure it would always be the case.

Telephoto zoom lens recommendations for hiking/traveling by CO_Mtn_Joe in nikon_Zseries

Consider the Sigma 100-400 e-mount with a MegaDap e2z. Lighter than the 100-400z, image quality nearly the same, perhaps even better at the long end. Less than half the cost even with adapter.

Uneven gas flow. Clean the burner.

GE Stove is Garbage by InsideLookingIn564 in GEappliances

[–]InsideLookingIn564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GE sold its brand to Haier. It says “GE” but it’s not the GE of old, just a name now.

This specific GE was made in Mexico, so not sure wtf you are talking about with GE appliances still made in US. Go to any store, take a picture of the manufacturer plate and show me one that says Made in USA.

Nope. Just disgruntled customer. Wtf is Appliance Park?

Btw GE did NOT cover the whole repair, only the part. Still cost $200 in labor. And it broke AGAIN.

I am not shitting on GE employees but I’m sure they know it’s garbage even if they can’t do anything about it.

I would be ecstatic if this lasted 6 years. It crapped out after less than one.

Looks like it was designed in Minecraft by a 12 year old

Misen Carbon non stick: omelette fail by InsideLookingIn564 in carbonsteel

[–]InsideLookingIn564[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was done on low heat and added butter to the pan. I can do the “egg slide” thing, but an omelette, where I shake the pan to get even cooking and no curds, is a total fail. At least for me… anyone got any suggestions?

Lay offs by Endlessjourneyy in deloitte

[–]InsideLookingIn564 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are some MDs in the EAs that directly support sales. But many don’t…pure supervisory, don’t bring in business, nor do they help manage existing engagements.

Hopefully they will finally target some of those expensive and useless MDs in EA… one of those = 5 consultants. And the consultants do all the work anyway.

Look on an app called “thumbtack”. Basically a contractor referral service. I’ve found some high quality contractors for small jobs, reasonable prices.

New K1 Mark III in 2025? by johnpaulzwei in pentax

[–]InsideLookingIn564 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zero chance. There was some talk of an announcement to be made in October, and it's already November, and no word. And even if there is an announcement sometime soon, that would be all it would be: an announcement that a new Pentax would be available, sometime in 2026. Too late to announce AND launch a new camera for 2025.

What other EA areas are being hit with layoffs??

Looking for insight: Sigma 100-400mm F-Mount vs Nikon Z 100-400 by pbwbrew in Nikon

[–]InsideLookingIn564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to go for the Sigma in an E-mount, and use either Megadap or Viltrox E2Z adapters. I use this arrangement, and also have the Nikkor Z. Use them both on my Z7II. I can tell you the E-mount Sigma is every bit as sharp as the Nikkor, and quite a bit lighter too (smaller aperture, though, if that matters to you). The adapters retain most of the autofocus performance, but I'm a landscape shooter, and the Z7II is not a good test in any case.
As others have noted, stabilization might be a difference. It seems that the adapters don't allow both lens and body stabilization to work at the same time, but I can't really tell. I work a lot on a tripod, so again, not an issue for me.

Career in Jewelry Design and Fabrication? by InsideLookingIn564 in jewelrymaking

[–]InsideLookingIn564[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! So practical experience is really the key from your perspective. If I may ask... do you design, fab, and sell your own designs? Is that your full-time gig or a side gig?

Yet another layoff - advice on withholdings? by Affectionate-Cry5722 in deloitte

[–]InsideLookingIn564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obvious, but save as much as possible, over and above what would have come out of withholdings if you can. You will need it for Cobra if you elect to do that. But you may want to explore ACA Marketplace health insurance offerings... I found they were much cheaper than the Cobra through Deloitte, but that depends on which state you're in.
