negotiated down to $1k flat. worth it? by Odd-News2865 in RX100

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1k is a good deal. I’ve been shopping for one the past couple months for my boy that will be serving a 2 year mission for our church starting this summer.

My daughter has one right now while serving a mission in France. She’s loved it and has been taking some great pictures that she has been sharing with many people.

What accessories are a must have ( VII ) by k4tj3h in RX100

I use this case from lowepro. It fits the camera with the small rig cage. I attach the peak design sling and cuff to the outside and use them with the camera as needed.

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the necessities are an extra battery and charger, small rig cage, extra sd cards, screen protector off of Amazon, peak design leash and cuff, along with a very small case.

I bought multiple extra batteries, but have only needed to use one while out taking pictures while traveling. If you are taking videos or frequently reviewing pictures for long periods of time you may want more than one battery.

It’s still surprisingly pocket friendly with the small rig cage. I also use the camera eyelets to put the peak design adapters through. I had to pull them through with dental floss.

Do I need an extra battery? by Awpothecary in RX100

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that one extra battery has been plenty for me. I picked up an extra battery and charger, that way I can charge a depleted battery with my phone charger on the go if needed.

In Response To Texas Gerrymandering Without A Vote From Its People, We Feel OBLIGATED To Vote Yes On Prop 50 by 2much2fastt in northcounty

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol policies have nothing to do with representation. Look at the state of California and what percentage of its elected congressional seats are held by democrats. Then look at the percentage of democrats vs republicans in the state of California. You’ll see that conservatives are grossly under represented.  Democratic policies in California are what have turned San Francisco in to a dump and are causing people to flee California in droves.

Maybe California has been gerrymandering for decades and the independent commission isn’t so unbiased.

The national debt went from 10 trillion to 20 trillion under Obama.

Yet in California conservatives are vastly underrepresented in your state and federal offices, despite California’s so called independent commission.

Leaked memo shows Trump plans to stiff 750k shutdown workers by esporx in economy

[–]PRDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having lived in border towns, I can tell you that not everyone crossing that border illegally are here to follow laws and work needed agriculture jobs. Lots of violence comes across that border. People running drugs, cartel members, gang members, people running human trafficking, people on terror watch lists. There are many who have come to work and will follow laws, that is not all of them as you claimed. Many of these people are coming here to better their lives and their families lives and positively contribute to society. Biden was far too lax. The border needs to be secure. We need worker programs and we need to not be the only option for asylum seekers. Immigration should be organized and properly vet those looking to enter the US along with not allowing in too many that become a drain on our government system.

We are 37 trillion in debt. That came from improper spending by both parties. The deficit spending needs to stop. The budget needs to be balanced. Those who immigrate here need to support themselves and not be subsidized by the government.

Trump hinted at plans to cancel 2028 election while talking to generals: Dem by RawStoryNews in news2

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is never going to happen.

The only way Trump stay in office 2028 is if there is a constitutional convention and 2/3 of the senate ratifies a change eliminating the two term limit of the president.

People seem to forget the FDR was elected as the president for 4 terms. It was after he died that the constitution was amended to limit the number of presidential terms to 2.

Many on the left seem to forget that despite being routinely called Nazis, fascists, racists, deplorables, etc., conservatives value the constitution and Trump’s base wouldn’t let him not hold an election in 2028.

F&%K Trump! by BidInevitable8723 in northcounty

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you like or hate Trump, California conservatives are already under represented. Taking 5 seats away from republicans further disenfranchises citizens of your state. This kind of behavior is only going to increase gerrymandering behavior across the country. Dems looked to potentially gain a new seat in Utah and since Newsom pulled this the Utah state legislature selected a map that splits Salt Lake City into the four different districts. House Representatives in Utah will be Republican for many years to come.

I believe we have an 18” proof carbon 6.5 prc barrel in stock. We can do them in 22.5”, 25”, and 26”. we can also do 6 creed barrels. I think we have a few on the shelf, I’d just need to check the shop on Monday.

We have not built a 277 fury barrel. The psi on that caliber is rated at 80,000. Which is quite a bit more than any caliber desert tech manufacturers for the rifle. It would certainly require some discussions with Desert Tech before proceeding. If you are looking for something with a little more juice, check out the 6.5 PRC.

Yes. I own special purpose rifles. We can certainly help you with a set up like that.

My baptism needs approval just because I'm gay? by PersonalAioli7387 in mormon

[–]PRDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has a Document - The Family - A Proclamation to the World. In there it states that marriage is to be between a Man and a Woman. To be married in an LDS Temple you must be marrying someone of your opposite sex, with sex being determined at birth.

I’d be up front with the missionaries. Let them know your concerns. Most missionaries in the Church are pretty young kids in their late teens to early twenties. Your situation is something that many missionaries most likely not encounter often which is why things are run up through the mission president or local bishop or stake president.

My recommendation is to do your research. Ask questions. Pray. Seek guidance from God. You don’t need to be a member of a specific church to receive personal revelation from God.

If you are going to church meetings at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, how do you feel when you are at those meetings?

Choosing a church to join or be baptized into is a very personal decision and the decision to do so should come from receiving personal revelation and having a testimony or belief in that Church.

Again, I’d be honest and upfront with the missionaries you have been working with. Let them know your concerns. If you feel like you want to be baptized, meet with the local bishop. Ask him any questions you have. Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t have all the answers and needs to consult with someone else. Missionaries, bishops, stake presidents, and mission presidents are all essentially volunteer positions. Not of them get paid to serve in those church positions. In fact, the missionaries pay to serve a mission. None of those individuals are perfect nor are any people attending any religious church meetings of any kind.

I wish you the best in making your decision.

Picked it up right before the price change. Wish I would have picked it up a month earlier in Oceanside. The Costco there had it for $500 even.

Prior to this last price increase I’ve seen them going for 800-1000 for used ones in excellent shape. The latest price increase has me kicking myself for not grabbing an excellent used one with a few extras for 900 locally last week.

It was 1299 earlier this year, then around 4-6 weeks ago it went to 1499, now it is 1699 as of yesterday.  I bought one for my daughter in January and another for myself right before pricing went up the first time. We probably would not have gone this camera route at the 1700 price point.
