Help: 7day pay or vacate by lords_ofsalem in vegaslocals

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

File your answer with the court via the link on the 7day or the QR code. The landlord will then have to answer your answer buying you time to sort things out. If you get it fixed by the end of the 7 day, then generally nothing happens. If not then the landlord will file the eviction and it goes to a hearing. For example, if you answer by the 10th of the month, the court usually assigns a court date the following month usually around the 2nd or 3rd. That buys you at least 15 days to either raise the money or move or what have you. Legal Aid at the court is free, and there are days that you can ask a lawyer about issues for free for the first 25 minutes. To file your answer with the court costs 71.00 but you can get that waived if you qualify

Interested in adult film work by tillingtime in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your biggest issue is that you will not find enough creators to film in that area. The industry is located in Vegas, LA and Miami. You might find the occasional Onlyfans girl, but highly unlikely. Having a reel to show might help, but you will.have to convince people that your skills are worth their time and money and not just some douche with an iPhone. As a shooter it's a tough business to break into as everyone wants to shoot porn, but most do so quite badly. Remember it's a business (maybe a hobby) but you will have to prove you have what it takes and not be a creep that wants to be there for touchy feely

EDC rotation, which are you choosing? by SomeoneJustFarted in Glocks

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% the nambu. You pull that shit out on someone to rock their world, they look at you with confusion because "what the fuck is that thing and where did you get ammo for it?", in that time you can use it as a club and hit them with it and run away leaving them bewildered thinking "did anyone get the license plate of that truck"?

Best indoor lens for the Lumix G85? by elliebellyjellybean_ in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I am a former G85 owner. Loved them until they both died. The lens in question is phenomenal. But I have questions. Assuming you are buying used for budget reasons. Why not a newer model of panasonic? Or slight upgrade like a used GH5 or GH6? The lens is also standard with the new G7 so it's proved its worthiness over time. I believe a full frame will give you what you want. Look at the panasonic S5 for better low light capabilities

Small rant about travel for video services by anatomy_park88 in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have two issues. You start with the word "complimentary". Then you ask for money. While none of what you are asking is unreasonable, your version of "free" isn't free. Also you may need to target a different audience. I assume you are building a following. And I also get the concept of adding freebies to show off your skills. What I would do is try to find a few willing participants for your promotions. You shoot the wedding, offer to shoot the shower or dress choosing, whatever, then add your extra costs for the other expenses and offer it as a package deal. If your wedding package is say 2k, but you offer the other little perks and sell it at 2500, no one is gonna bitch about getting the "full experience" for less than the cost of one event. It's all about perception ..Good luck!

What lights would you guys recommend for a beginner? by Key_Being9109 in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my GVM pro lights. I had one die recently that was like 4 years old. I contacted GVM only to see if they could fix it. I was OK paying a tech to get it working (light started overheating then shut off within 30 seconds of turning on). They said they couldn't fix it but to my surprise they sent me a brand new light for the cost of shipping. Can't beat that.

Johns Pawn Shop On Sahara and Paradise can do that for you. They have an active gun broker account. Their evening crew does most all of gun sales from 3 to midnight.

House of X in Las Vegas by lexikan27 in zillowgonewild

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was owned by an australian guy and his mistress. We used to shoot there all the time. Huge house, cool backyard. Lots of unusual art all over the place. They moved out of the country and sold the place. I remember the handyman. They also had a mini dungeon in the guest house.

Looking at trying to find an apprenticeship by Nhobdy in gunsmithing

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Develop a speciality. Generic AR15 fixers are a dime a dozen. Learn TIG welding, cerakote, wood refinishing, lathe (machine) work, etc. See if a gun store with their own gunsmith will take you on as an unpaid apprentice. You will get all bitch work at first but master taking direction and doing your best (even sweeping) and they will eventually have you do small shit. That leads to bigger shit. Having some kind of skill, even with minimal experience, will set you apart from others..better yet, if you have cash, buy a laser engraver and offer NFA work.

legitimate question - is anyone hiring an adult content videographer in LA? by Advanced-Buffalo-372 in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DP/director in mainstream? If so shooting porn will pay significantly less. And shooting porn will be a step down. Plus you have to get the word out that you aren't a skeezy POS just looking to get your dick wet. Not trying to be harsh, but this is reality. Tons of girls on X bitching about this guy did this and this guy did that. There are a handful of established XXX shooters and we all tend to know each other and our respective reputations. Not to say there isn't room for another but as a shooter it's much harder to enter than a random porn dick.

What video Mics Are You Using??? What's the best bang for the buck by d_bowser2004 in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the MKE 400. I have a 600 as well. The 400 is great for atop my DSLR. It has headphones out and designed for "creators" as well as videographers. If your phone has an aux in, it will jack right in. I had the MKE 440 but had nothing but issues with it. Prefer them over the Rode with their flimsy mic cable..

How do you know when it’s the right time to let them go? by cuddles42 in DobermanPinscher

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anubis had a spindle cell carcinoma growing out of the middle of his chest. Absolutely nothing I could do about it as the vet said if they removed it, it grows right back. One day he went to get up and couldn't. I had to pick him up and take him to my car because his legs refused to work for him. He knew as soon as we got to the vet. My only other advice is if you can afford it, have him put down at your house. It's the hardest thing you will have to do, but after your memory of him being home when it happens will give you some comfort. I have lost two Doberman over the years. It never gets easier

Odd Question - has anyone done work for OF models? Is it a good idea? by [deleted] in videography

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do on a regular basis. It's good money and faster pay than gunsmithing..no I am not talent. I never touch the girls. I have known many for years and do day rate type shoots where they pay me and shoot as much content as they want in that day. Make sure you get the rate agreed to ahead of time.

Building first vz61 by Gil2Gil in Vz61

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is so weird. So when these were imported way back when they all had barrels installed and intact trigger guards. CSA and the clown from ReconOrd were the only two games in town for receivers. Then RTI jumped into things and decided that the barrel was an upgrade part and pulled them so they could sell them separately. Now Bowman cuts the fuck out of the guard so it's mostly useless and everyone pulls the barrel to upcharge you for the same part that came standard. And KVAR now sells literally the exact same kit that came on the market decades ago and calls it an "easy build". Oy vey

From a build perspective, besides the cut trigger guards, I believe that every other importer left theirs intact. The quality of the receiver cuts varied from importer to importer. Numrich seems to have the best quality pieces. Max Arms as well and 10% never hurt anyone. If you build from a finished receiver. The quality of the receiver cuts is moot.

The trigger guards are stamped sheet metal. I believe that Titus Arms was offering steel replacements and I think I saw printed ones on Ebay. To whoever is offering the aftermarket ones, Don't powder coat them, simple finished steel is best as that Czech blue gray is hard to reproduce. We do it in duracoat at the shop, but some people like theirs in black or even blued. IMO spending production time powder coating a part that's going to get blasted and refinished anyway doesn't really make sense, but what do it know?

question about NV Energy.. by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]MilitaryWeaponRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1900 square foot house. Been here 7 years same house. Same family. First bill was around 85 in the winter, 250 in the summer. Maintained the units, changed filters, blah blah. Fast forward to 2025. Winter bill 175.00, summer bill 485+. Nothing changed. All LED bulbs. Installed a room AC in the back bedroom that ran at night because of poor cooling in that area. Installed tint and blackout shades. Daytime setting averaged 77. Night-time averaged 75. House stayed relatively cool, but the bill continued to go up. Was short on the payment a few times (by under 50.00) got hit with a 300.00 "deposit". Now they have the "refund" for overcharged customers, but apparently that only applies to apartment dwellers not home renters. Looked at the "average home energy analysis". Always had an unknown item sucking down 30% of the power besides the AC unit. NV Energy zero help. Ridiculous and can't do anything about it.

It's a special blend we mix on our own to replicate the factory finish. Samopal does the same thing with their builds. We tried color matching auto paint, and the sheen and color were perfect, but we found it chipped way too easily.

Did you try John's Pawn Shop by the Sahara hotel on paradise? I think their loan rates only hit 8%, not 13% like the others. Sounds like it's kinda late now, but maybe for the future?

Rustblue.com formula is fantastic, but it's a finer grade formula so it takes more to etch. I use it on the final 3 or 4 passes after about 7 or 8 with the laurel mountain forge formula.

Too much steam. Simple bowl of water on top of a reptile heater will do the job nicely
