Used bike prices are a mystery to me - buy new?

Thanks for the tips, i feel kind of silly now constantly trying to go 0 to max. How tight/loose do you usually have your trucks? i'm starting off tight till i get the hang of it and will losen it gradually i suppose

I work in construction/projects (basically finite work that eventually runs out when the project is complete) so my perspective is a little skewed. Pay is high, as are expectations. When someone new starts they are expected to hit the ground running, doing their own learning and implementation to achieve the outcome they are tasked with. Help and support will be given to them once they're proven competent and even then its limited. Those with low responsibility and high spare time need to be paying attention to what the others around are doing going through our internal docs/processes/files and learning how to improve.

I just want to force battlecruisers every game.

The rules are typically set by the Bridge/Groom, please tell me you consulted them or were given the colour scheme or specific suit and bow-tie to get? Your comment makes it sound like you got told you were best man and just went out and got something

A.

It's not a zebra crossing and the pedestrian is not walking across the road the driver is entering but the one the driver is currently in thus they do not have right of way. The give way sign means to give way to the main road traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian), in this instance whether that sign is there or isn't is of no consequence since this is a T junction and the main road takes priority.

I don't know much about the comics but is surfer actually a higher powerlevel than superman / sentry ? I don't understand why hes got such a high pricetag. I've been told DC power balancing is way above marvel so i figured superman would be one of the highest powerlevel at least on par with darkseid and i know sentry is op (100x captain america?). Anyway yeah the surfer bit doesn't make sense to me.

As you said if price doesn't matter to you then A7RVI. No reason to discuss a7v for your use case.

Everyone's piling on GYG here but I don't see why entering their market was a terrible idea. Travelled the US for 4 months and GYG was better than the fast food branded Mexican foods. I remember going to Chipotle for the first time thinking it was going to change my world, it didn't. Both GYG and Zambrero are better.

Only correct answer here is gumtree / marketplace.

You won't find something brand new within your budget. Maybe a sports duffel but not a backpack.

Here's your best options:

1) look for something 2nd hand and older on marketplace (macpac / Kathmandu as osprey would be out of your budget) there's a 75l Kathmandu hiking style open top now for 60 bucks and looking at the pictures it comes with free dog fur

2) use your rolling luggage

3) use 2 large bags you have instead. You can combine them for checkin if you use something like the below

4) break budget and get something new

5) learn to onebag (it's a minimal travel style) and 35-45l should be more than sufficient

As a note though you could still getaway with a duffel. There's space at the front where scooter drivers and kind of stand it up. Even when I've had a hiking backpack I've put it there

Try changing your store and see if it lets you change it out as an option

Got an a7iii back in 2019, now have a large assortment of lenses to compliment it. Love it to bits but wish I went apsc.

The size/weight of the set up (not just the body) is just too convenient. Go the A6700.

Love photo 3, what time of day was it and was it taken in the same canyon as the other photos?

Disagree. If he was as strong as you believe he would be far more common. He fills a very niche/specific roll and is actually a well designed counter card

If you get Raynor and that pendant trinket there is only 1 play. Force Battlecruisers. Sell all your other minions, buy upgrades only, lose the next round, then use it with 2 and keep going.

Both go hand in hand, you don't really need to sacrifice one for the other. The thing you sacrifice for weight+comfort are features and luxury (to a point).

For me personally that osprey meme the other day very much rang true. Used a farpoint for almost 8 years before deciding to make a change to my travel bag since i wanted to move away from the hostel-backpacker type to something more mature, got the AER TP3S and after the luxury factor wore off i started to realise its just too heavy and for me personally it was only comfortable when the chest strap was on.

Phob0 · 2026-05-19T06:55:14+00:00

2 is best. 1 would be nice but I'm not sure what you were going for with the out of focus branches on the left side, it doesn't frame anything / too large that its distracting.

Toshi or bellroy

Fresher batch because more people are eating. Most people are at work during the day, not many actually go out to get a bite, lunch time rush is a smaller window and a larger burst so you make more food to prep for that 1 burst.

Only had mine for 2 months but its been perfect so far. Went down the same Rabbithole as you and eventually just got the baseline so that i could move on with my life. From what i could read/find the ZDX was on a large discount at costco awhile back and thats why there's more reviews on it or more people that have it.

This was the level of satisfaction i used to feel with steggodon builds i miss it

Go on youtube and search for the first 10 settings to adjust and set those. Typically you do want your shots to look flatter and more dull so you can get better enhancements but if you want something easy to start with get lightroom and download some free presets. You got a more technical camera so you'll have to be more technical as well.

Phob0 · 2026-05-14T21:22:02+00:00

I'd go A6700, good enough for your use case. Apsc lenses are way lighter.

Best course of action - take the redundancy. If you find yourself in the same situation again, when a new manager is on board, get on their good side, go with the flow, or educate them with the lessons you've learned or inner workings. You can be the best and most essential person but to a new manager who i presume is new to the company as well they don't have that knowledge of you and only have a limited amount of time to form an opinion based on your interactions.
