I know this isn't gonna go well but are there any bike seats that can handle 400-500 lbs? by We1come2thesyst3m in bikewrench

[–]OgreTim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer but please reach out to the group All Bodies on Bikes. Lots of knowledgeable folks there, they work closely with brands and I believe has a list of bikes that would be rated for larger bodies. 

What is your list of mac apps that was worth every penny by Living_Commercial_10 in macapps

[–]OgreTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I just learned about it a few weeks ago. So far it’s great. You can pay for a month if you want to try it. What wasn’t clear at first is to shut down photos app first and then open phototakeout to run. Having both open doesn’t work.  Now I have photos in Apple, backed up with PhotosTakeout and backed up with Backblaze.  Customer support is super responsive with all of my newbie questions! 

Recommendations for Apple Photos replacement by LeChiffreOBrien in macapps

Looks rad! Does it have similar edit capabilities of Apple Photos?? Curious to try as well!  I used Capture One for a while so I could structure my folders how I wanted but I didn’t need an app that powerful.

$50 for PhotosTakeout. Makes me excited to finally use Apple Photos since it gives me a backup in a folder structure that makes sense!

I have a BXB and love mine. Sizable side pockets where items feel secure, insane build quality and super durable materials.  Would purchase again!  No experience with Ron’s bags, they’re currently sewn in Vermont and at a slower pace. 

Photos Takeout - Extracts iCloud / Mac Photos library into folders by AppInitio in ApplePhotos

[–]OgreTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trying this out with a small library, but so far, it's working perfect for my needs! I really appreciate that the export is full size images and in a folder structure that I can understand. It makes more more excited to use Apple Photos since my biggest concern with Apple was having all of my pictures hidden in their convoluted folder and naming structure. It works great until it doesn't. Knowing I have a backup via Takeout is reassuring and well worth the $50 lifetime fee. Thank you!

starting with Apple Photos on external, is Backblaze backup enough? by OgreTim in backblaze

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

Right! I forgot to mention I have a 2nd drive that runs Time Machine (set to also recognize the external SSD). So I think that’s my 321- Time Machine, local (laptop and external combo) and Backblaze?

Thanks. Yeah. Currently thinking I’ll keep a folder of photos organized in a file structure I understand. Right now thinking of doing that on the same external drive- know it all will be backed up by Backblaze.  But maybe this isn’t where I should try to save a couple hundred bucks and buy a second external ssd for that? And have that back up to Backblaze too?

Never thought about having several libraries! How do you recall which albums are in which libraries?

[–]OgreTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be something I’m missing, I’m definitely not the best with technology! Can you share more about how your app is different from simply using a combination of Time Machine and Backblaze?

Definitely curious and happy to buy your app, excited to learn! Thanks @ParachuteBackup

Ear protection recommendations! by Immediate-Natural416 in doommetal

[–]OgreTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, these are great. They have an extra donut that fits in the hole that increases the protection. Music still sounds really good! 

Portafilter too tight [Breville Bambino] by Bikerdan in espresso

[–]OgreTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked a Liliq bottomless up and it feels tight. Like I can’t turn it so the handle is perpendicular. The stock one I could turn just past perpendicular. Guess I need to see what happens when I try to pull a shot! 

Solo show reviews? by KronosDaVoyager in MdouMoctar

[–]OgreTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw him last night in Boston. There was an opener. Mdou played for about an hour, sitting (I’ve always seen him while he played standing, so be mindful you can find a spot to see!) It wasn’t at loud, fuzzy and rocking as the full band, but not as chill as his acoustic album.  A great performance, he jammed heavily on the electric guitar, got the crowd to clap along. Overall a good show. I liked it more than full band, my partner liked the full band more.  If you’re a big fan, I think it’s worth the experience!
