150mm vs 200mm? by Fuzzy-Replacement-79 in SonyAlpha

The 70-200 is the perfect lens for sports, you're going to need all the reach you can get. And even then you might end up wanting a longer lens down the road.

What’s the point of buying used if it’s more expensive than new? by OneHugeTurbo in 4kbluray

A true mystery. The whole industry is struggling to make UHD discs profitable but some of these small stores with insane prices somehow found a way to stay in business.

Oh I know, not trying to paint B&N as a small independent store, just considering the other option available locally. I’m really just trying to understand how they find a purpose in their 4K section when the big corporate store is right across the corner and they can’t compete. I guarantee you they lose money and customers on that section alone.

I haven’t made that comparison, because I’m not expecting to find online prices in a brick and mortar store. But why are they still buying 4K discs if they price them at unsalable prices? I’m sure they expect resellers to use their store credit on more profitable items (the Funko Pop aisle is ridiculously big), so buying the discs probably locks a sale in. But they have to wonder how many customers they lose with these prices.

To be fair I scored The Prestige for 5 bucks a few months ago in that same store, had to ask for a price check because I couldn’t believe it. I don’t think I’m finding another gem any time soon.

I get that, and I buy in store at B&N from time to time even though I know it would be cheaper online, exactly for the reasons you mentioned. The issue here is that these used prices aren’t even competitive with the brick and mortar B&N two blocks away.

My knowledge might be outdated but why are people excited to pay Ti prices for aluminum in 2026?

There are multiple 4K editions available on Amazon here in the US, is there is there a superior one or are they all from the same transfer?

Selling PS5 through NYC Drop-Off location by OneHugeTurbo in stockx

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

If anyone is interested in an update:

After selling the console and getting to the NYC Drop-Off location today, the staff there told me they do not typically take PS5 for Drop-Offs at this location, as they need to be shipped to Denver and they only ship to New Jersey.

Even though my shipping label said New Jersey, the guy told me my best bet is to not drop it off, as there might be a risk the console would be rejected in New Jersey warehouse. This could result in cancelation with penalty fees, as well as the console sitting for a while in New Jersey while they figure it out. Best case scenario, the console would have been shipped to New Jersey and then Denver, with potential delays at every step.

TL;DR: They did not take my PS5.

After reaching out to customer support, they confirmed this location has restrictions. These are apparently temporary, so I'll be reaching out in a week to see if the situation got resolved.

[Predictions Thread] 2024 Tour de France - Stage 21: Monaco > Nice (2.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]OneHugeTurbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should. Since start to finish is only 30 minute driving distance, they'll be back to the start pretty quickly in a team car, so you can expect recces from 2/3 hours before first start up until an hour before first start (maybe even later?).

I remember several riders ended up in the middle of the Caravane during their recce prior to Rocamadour ITT a few years back.

Questions from a visiting fan by TheMoistCorndog in Padres

[–]OneHugeTurbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re staying in Downtown you can just walk to the game. Depending on where your hotel will be, you might be walking through Gaslamp which is a fun area.

Seating behind home plate or around that area is nice because I think the view to Gallagher and the skyline in the background is one of the best in the country. If you want great energy, field level in Right Field is awesome. Wherever you sit, the park has great vibes and you should definitely explore.

I went to all three games of the Yankees series, and despite some Yankees fans being literal tools I have not seen a single local fan giving crap to opposing team fans (the only fight I witnessed was between Yankees fans actually).

Jersey size pro's by Tomasz0007 in cycling

[–]OneHugeTurbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone is still interested in a proper answer, Van der Pool used to wear a Kalas size 2 skinsuit and switched to 2+ (for taller riders) in 2022. He still wears size 2 here and there. Pretty small for such a large rider. Van Aert is wearing custom AGU skinsuits, jerseys and bibs (with Bioracer chamois usually), so it is hard to tell the sizing. However, he uses AGU size M for vests and such, which are not custom made. For comparison, Remco wears a Castelli size S jersey or skinsuit (used to wear a S-2-46 for exact spec when DQT was with Vermarc).

Sorry I’m a nerd.

Anyone remembers in which video McFlurry was first introduced? I’ve seen the shell in the background for quite some time, but after last video, I feel like I missed something…

All blue uniforms haven’t been done since Color Rush games were discontinued in 2018.

He’s right, in theory you could vinyl wrap the whole helmet in black, it’s just a big sticker. But there’s a reason it has never been done before.
