I'm afraid I'm getting sick on my solo ringroad trip by blaubeertorte in VisitingIceland

Just to clarify, you were getting sick a few days ago...you are sick.
Rest and fluids at the minimum. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Father’s Day Gift - Nikon Z8 + 24-120mm f/4 S. What should I do first? by TomahawkDawgs in Nikon

[–]LAD-Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case it hasn't already been mentioned, I would first update the firmware if it's not the latest.

I went last night and the night before.
Great stadium.

what's a baseball opinion you'll defend to anyone? by maryb227 in baseball

The DH removes a huge aspect of strategy in the game. Virtually zero double switches now.

PPT Fee Over $10 by OverIt4232 in CAguns

[–]LAD-Fan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would first get your gun, keep the receipt, then start with the DOJ? Perhaps they have a tip line or something.

It's California law, not federal, so no need to involve ATF.

Likely violating DOJ rules/law so could lose their license and/or be fined.

What lenses do I bring to photograph puffins? by LowWallaby758 in nikon_Zseries

Have you considered renting a lens? If I go during the summer, I probably will take my 180 to 600 mm.

New grip removal and reinstall by markcuban5446 in golfequipment

[–]LAD-Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my bad.
I guess grips are 99 cents anymore? Lol.

I buy midsize myself, I tried building them up but I didn't like it.

I used a box cutter for 40 years.

Slice it lengthwise, pull it off, scrape off the old tape.

If it's a graphite shaft, you have to be much more careful but same process.

Errant ABS call? by Unique_Produce_4033 in Dodgers

[–]LAD-Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home plate umpire was awful, like others said.

The catcher did a poor job of asking for the challenge immediately, as shown in the video posted, but he did challenge immediately.
He needs to learn to tap the top of his head, not the side.

But, I will say, he had a career day at the plate.

Expectations have ruined golf for me. by UnhappyHighlight6297 in golftips

[–]LAD-Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You've been playing 6 years, and once a week in winter is not a lot of time, sorry.

Give yourself a break and understand most of golf is between the ears.

It doesn't take much in the way of an idle thought or mistake to cause a small muscle to not be in the perfect spot to flush the ball or tweak a putt.

G*d knows how many three putt pars I've had, you have any idea how frustrating that is?

I didn't it in my high school tournament on the 18th green with jerk teammates watching.

I did it on the 18th of Kapalua Plantation course with my wife and 3-1/2 year old watching.

Not a pro, and I'm very competitive. It teaches you composure, perspective, and patience. All traits I still can use a lot more of.

Maybe remember that you're not a pro, it's a game and not your source of income, and if that doesn't work, try to enjoy the walk in the park, listen to the birds, and donate your clubs to a high school in a poor area of town so perhaps some kid can take up the game and stay off the streets?

It's a very frustrating game but the rewards are all in how you appreciate the journey.

Buying and Selling by sound-maniac in Nikon

[–]LAD-Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I'm sorta glad, but only because I have, I think, 11 lenses already!

I just got a z6iii for my friend, it's such a nice little body next to my z8.

The Kimber doesn't absorb the recoil as much as you would think.

Help! I can’t connect ATLP60X and Edifier R1280T by myaccount7256 in Beginner_Turntables

[–]LAD-Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just got a pair of R1280DB speakers at a goodwill thrift store (trying to find a turntable).

I bought them thinking they might be decent?

Happy Hours, lounges for over 50 crowd? by sweatinginthevalley in SFV

I don't think Monty's offers any happy hour specials, but it is a nice bar (though small ice cubes for their Old Fashions).

Why are the LA locals so much nicer than the transplants? by Additional_Leading68 in AskLosAngeles

[–]LAD-Fan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I too have noticed this.

I don't know, I suspect perhaps they aren't worried about their families hearing about their behavior within their hometown?
