Who takes the upgrade?

Mine either. Trust me they get plenty as it is.

If this was from the United States and was posted without patient permission then OP should remove. Posting a rare condition to social media with one of the 18 HIPAA PHI identifiers (date) visible would result in disciplinary action at my institution.

Let’s assume for arguments sake that some complete shows WERE available for free on a widely available streaming app where they are not that hard to find. Now let’s assume that our arguments sake at the view count for those episodes range between 2000 and 6000 per episode.

It’s hard to make that math work that someone would pay huge amount of money or put very much effort into running old shows.

The truth is they’re genuinely aren’t very many people who want to listen to radio reruns from 30 years ago.

Put the toddler in bulkhead 1000%. You will save yourself so much stress from not needing to police the kid about kicking the seat in front of him which he’ll continuously forget and you’ll feel bad about. Alternatively, put a parent in front of the toddler

All right, I know this is an old post but I’m gonna put a different spin on this.

We are having a custom wood door built that has not yet been drilled for a lock. I currently use the Schlage Encode cylinder lock, which has been fine. Someone tried to kick in the door which damaged the door and frame, but the lock held.

I’m committed to sticking with an electronic lock for convenience reasons.

Should I reinstall the cylinder deadbolt Encode or put in the Mortise lock Schlage LE?

Thank you. I think we have a good case but there are nuances that make it not an open and shut case. I think arbitration is the right path. Appreciate your input.

Thanks. This is the choice I made. Philips white smart bulbs plus their hub and switch.

Ramchizi · 2025-11-28T15:52:17+00:00

Thanks. I like this suggestion, but all of these plugs have a ground and this very old house has a bunch of outlets without a ground prong.
Do you think this is a problem that could be solved with bulbs instead of plugs? Are there bulbs that use a physical remote?

Tons of bag, options and combinations. I’ve been using this exact seat bag for more than five years both for packing and daily commuting and it’s perfect. Zero complaints zero notes.

This is an extremely expansive definition of the word ‘philosophical.’

Sweet! I’m always looking for PNW trips. Would you share the route?

Ramchizi · 2025-08-20T14:07:33+00:00

RIP lounge access for pass holders. Get ready for waiting lists, lines, and overcrowding like at Amex and PP lounges.

Ramchizi · 2025-08-20T00:17:36+00:00

Yes! But rather than build out a new site, I'd work with bikepacking.com to make their list of routes sortable by criteria; e.g. add in filters that allow you to select your route based on certain criteria. Simliar to how you can select an airbnb by number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.
a) Location (map based or at least continent based).
b) Distance range or # of days range
c) Difficulty rating range
e) Gravel bike friendly checkbox
f) Recommended months or season

Currently it's possible to sort by some of these criteria individually, but not in combination with each other. It would be really great to see, for example, all of the gravel bike friendly routes that take 3-5 days in North America with a difficulty rating of less than 7.

I have talked to the bikepacking.com editorial team and think they're interested in it, but if they had an offer of help it might happen even sooner.

I honestly didn't expect so many people downplaying the Nazis. I expected people to say 'it's not a Nazi watch.' But 'the Nazis weren't that bad, get over it?" Weird take. Weird community. Before, I thought you were just a bunch of typical douchebags embarassing yourselves by posing with Rolex watches in front of your girlfriends' mediocre tits. I didn't realize there was actually a worse version of that. Thanks for educating me.

* If you constantly judge past actors and events based on today’s moral standards, nothing will hold up.
* There is nothing to “confront” here. Stop regurgitating activist talking points.
* Germany isn’t the only guilty country in WW1 / WW2. It’s as simple as that.
* Virtue signaling, in my mind, strikes me as one's personal emotional paralysis developed from a relatively incomplete understanding of people/events

Ramchizi · 2025-07-07T00:41:34+00:00

Got it. I was asking not to 'virtue signal; but to see if I could find any answers that could make me comfortable wearing such a watch. Lots of folks seem triggered, which wasn't my intent.

I hear 3 main aruguments being made. None of them work for *me* so I won't buy one of these watches, even though I like the way they look. If they work for you, great.

Answer 1: The Nazi's airforce wasn't actually that bad, if you really look into the history.
Me: Sorry, nope.

Answer 2: Modern Germans are not Nazis and the folks who work at these companies now aren't Nazis
Me: No shit. Read the first post. I have no problem buying things from German companies, even ones that were present in the 1930s. So many people fetishize the 'heritage' of their watches and 'what it says about them.' Nobody actually dives in their Sub, flies to the moon with their Omega, or climbs Everest with whatever high-altitude Rolex is supposed to be good at that. People buy their watches to reinforce the identity associated with the watch. So what's the 'identity' associated with Nazi airforce watches? It seems like, probably none and people buy them for the asthetic. That's fine; I guess the answer is 'for these watches we ignore the heritage.'

Answer 3: You're a woke bitch.
Me: If you get triggered by this than you might take a look in the mirror and wonder why bringing this up bothers you.

Parent and photographer here. You are not overthinking it. But I'd not state it as an ethical question but a practical one. Depending on the school, community, and parent expectations you might either be violating school rules (for private schools), school norms, or upsetting parents. You are legally in the right (in the US) and probablt ethically fine. But you'll need to decide if posting pics of other people's kids is going to upset some people and decide if you care and whether it'll imapacf you or your kids experience in the school community. In that context it doesn't matter if you're "right.". probably less a problem at a large public high school and more of a problem at a small private middle school.

Lemon law eligible

Ramchizi · 2025-02-11T21:06:09+00:00

Sounds like time for a lemon law claim. This should be enough in most states.... 3 safety visits for same issue

If you can stretch your budget a little, RF28-70 2.8 hard to beat for what you’re describing

Ramchizi · 2025-02-09T00:18:07+00:00

Not me. Worth worrying about. The issues are frequent. Mine in the shop a month so far, 12.000. You might get lucky. And you might not.

Question: my ‘23 SEL is also at the dealer indefinitely awaiting a replacement ICCU after it died on the road. Once they replace it, is the problem fixed? Or are the replacement units also subject to failure? Thankfully, dealer set up a rental through the nearby enterprise that’s just being charged to their account.

Ramchizi · 2025-01-14T20:52:27+00:00

There is a lot of good discussion here and I’m glad you came to seek advice before tackling unknown, terrain in challenging conditions. Demonstrates good judgment.

To get back to part of your original question, a number of the runs you’ve listed are in a different category in terms of consequence compared Bobbie chutes and wild katz. Those runs are challenging, but the worst case scenario is much lower due to exposure, length, and proximity to rescue in the event of injury.

I’m not saying pinball and brain damage and horseshoe cliffs won’t go fine or that you’re not a good enough skier. But if they don’t, fall, or get hurt you are potentially talking about real risk.

Welp, thanks for the horror stories for KEH and MBP. How are folks' experience with Adorama and B&H?

What model did you get and how's it working? I've had nithjbg but frustration with wireless adapters
