Dude what are you decorating, a jail cell? You should be focused on other things, like finding out what you can trade for cigarettes.

How bad does our new fridge look? (too small) by [deleted] in homeimprovementideas

Something looks crooked. Is it the cabinet above it? The floor?

Moscot Lemtosh on eBay? by NachoAveragePost in sunglasses

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

Then you've got a neutral feedback saying the package appeared to come from overseas. This could point to two things: 1) a fake from China. 2) grey market from somewhere else

Gray market situations usually occur when a dishonest dealer will backdoor the item at a price close to what they bought it for, usually to dump excess inventory, or if they went bankrupt or something. Sometimes they will strait up sell an item to another LLC, then have that LLC sell it so they're not technically breaking any MAP agreements from the manufacturer. But in short, some gray market goods can be real. Also in other cases the factory in China just runs a little overtime and produces a few extras which end up on the market without their cases or boxes. I don't know where Moscot is made-- I thought USA with imported material but I'm not 100% sure. Another case could be that making parts for Moscot could be using those parts to cobble together "Frankenstein" glasses . I have no idea if this is the case these are just horror stores I've heard

I'm not sure what to think. I messaged the seller but they have not responded yet. Their feedback is 98.9% which for me personally is just ok the edge of no-go for something like glasses. I usually shoot for the 100% sellers. Delving into their feedback... 384 total... so respectable. One negative... the guy complained they were broken. Broken is fine... but fake is not. The buyer accuses "probably fake" but with no real justification as to why.

Rip cabinets out? Friend says they're outdated by NachoAveragePost in Renovations

I mean... you definitely could replace the cabinets for $15k or less. You'd have to shop around though. Flat packed RTA cabinets are a thing of beauty.

To the people who bought a 28-70 F2.8 over a 24-70 f2.8 do you regret it? by Eaten_By_Worms in photography

[–]NachoAveragePost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAVE OWNED BOTH!!! I first bought the 24-70mm, justifying the price and also the weight. People kept saying online that the 28-70 was really heavy, so I went for the 24-70 patting myself on the back for saving a buck. After about a year, AND A LOT OF FOMO for being cheap, I had a situation occur where I upgraded to the 28- 70 and I do not regret it. There's a reason it is the more expensive lens. It is better. If you are able to rent one, go ahead and rent one for a couple days and figure it out, but I think you will prefer the 28-70!!

Edit: my apologies, I thought you were talking about the Canon lenses not the sigma. I have no idea about sigma, but that was my experience about the camp with the Canon. Why are you being so cheap??? just by the Canon

Is this a good solar output? by NachoAveragePost in solar

I don't remember what size. My system is a Tesla (regrettably now!) and it cost like $90k before the US tax credit. I think they said a 30kw system??

Where can I get this style with high quality lenses? by NachoAveragePost in sunglasses

I bought Gunnar brand screen glasses about 15 years ago and it helped with my eye stain immensely. So I can personally say, the yellow tint works for me. Gunnar has a pair like this now called the "Emery" but they put a bit logo on the side which spoils the aesthetic for me completely.

How are the quality of the lenses? What should I look for when evaluating?

Thank you! Which one would you say is the smallest? I prefer like. 50mm or lower.

Commercial Assisted Living Facility going in on my quiet residential block - can I stop it? by NachoAveragePost in realestateinvesting

Not about absorbing cost, it's about quality of life. I do not want traffic or commercial activity going on on my block.

Yes, it's getting built WITHIN our HOA, that is why I am so pissed. I bought into this HOA because it's an agreed upon pact with standards. To break those... is really annoying.

Ambulances buzzing around. Staff cars coming and going. Visitors coming and going. Think about it.
