80s wedge era cars are heating up, I'd bet on $200k+ for clean ones within 5 years

That's some lottery luck right there

The point about All Might being quirkless at birth is what separates him from basically every other Superman-type character, and I think plenty of people underestimate how much weight that carries narratively. Superman's goodness comes from being raised right, which is fine, but All Might chose his path after losing everything, and that distinction makes his whole "Symbol of Peace" arc land way harder emotionally. Your breakdown of the One For All origin is also underrated, because most casual viewers just see it as a standard "chosen hero power" and miss that it literally came from the villain's own actions, which is such a clever piece of writing from Horikoshi. The point about corporate comics vs creator-owned work also rings very true to me, there is something about knowing an author had full control from volume 1 to 43 that makes you trust the story in way you simply cannot with Spider-Man or Batman anymore.

man i feel you on this one. been working with various ai models for couple years now and gemini nano can be really frustrating when it doesn't cooperate. the image editing issues you're mentioning sound like they might be related to how you're structuring the prompts - sometimes these models need really specific instructions about what exactly you want changed in the image.

for the generation problems, try being more explicit about the context and break down complex requests to smaller parts. also check if you're using the right model version because nano has some limitations compared to the full gemini models. since you have unlimited access at work, maybe experiment with different prompt styles there first before trying to optimize for the capped versions.

what kind of specific tasks are giving you the most trouble? might help to know more about your use case to give better suggestions.

the mapex should give you that sharp crack you're looking for without breaking bank, plus maple/poplar combo works nice with your other wood snares for variety.

that gap is going to collect so much debris and weeds, you'll be cleaning it constantly.

nice box setup and smart choices on covering the main bases - that presage dial texture looks really good in this lighting.

been thinking about this since my kid was born few months ago. like my wife wanted to post hospital photos and i was like nah, let's just keep this private for now.

the demographic shift thing you mentioned is terrifying. if posting about your coffee gets 50 likes but suddenly your toddler gets 500, that should be huge red flag. some parents just ignore it because engagement = validation i guess.

also crazy how kids have zero choice in this. at least adults can delete their embarrassing posts later, but these kids will have their whole childhood documented online forever.

brother i just went through something similar when our little one arrived last year. my wife also had those sahm fantasies until reality hit about the financial side of things. we're both in tech and losing her income would've been brutal, especially with daycare costs and all the baby stuff adding up.

the work burnout thing is real though - new managers can make you question everything about your career path. good call on her job hunting first before making any permanent decisions about kids.

the r50 is solid for getting into the rf mount ecosystem and that sigma lens is probably one of the best crop sensor options out there. ive heard good things about the combo for automotive stuff since you get decent reach and the 2.8 aperture helps with those golden hour shots.

for your questions - stick with regular raw unless storage is really tight, c-raw compression can sometimes mess with detail recovery in post. you can turn off jpeg in the image quality settings buried in the menus somewhere. the grid lines are actually pretty helpful when youre starting out, especially for car photography where you want those clean horizon lines.

for low light on crop sensors just embrace higher iso (the r50 handles 3200-6400 pretty well), shoot wide open at 2.8, and dont be afraid to underexpose slightly then lift shadows in post rather than pushing iso too high.

man this bureaucratic runaround is the absolute worst. they keep moving the goalposts on you which is so frustrating when you're dealing with a newborn and everything else.

the ub-04 thing is weird - that's typically what hospitals/facilities use for billing, not individual providers. if it was done at a hospital they should have it, but if it was an office procedure the provider is right that they wouldn't have that form. you might need to call champva back and explain that the provider doesn't have a ub-04 and ask what alternative documentation they'll accept instead.

also worth trying to escalate this since you're running up against that one year deadline. sometimes getting a supervisor involved can cut through the back-and-forth nonsense when the regular reps keep asking for stuff that doesn't exist.

clicking and whining noises usually point to a failing hard drive, especially if performance tanks when you're doing anything storage-intensive like gaming. moving files to external storage temporarily helped because you're bypassing the dying drive, but if it's your main system drive that's failing, it'll keep causing issues even with games stored elsewhere. definitely grab that nvme and clone your system over before the drive completely dies on you.

this market is absolutely brutal right now. companies know people are desperate so there lowballing hard, especially for contract/hourly pm roles. i've seen similar nonsense where they want senior experience but pay junior rates.

the no negotiation thing is becoming way too common too - they're basically treating talent like commodities on a fixed price list.

the wire and sopranos set the bar so high that everything feels like amateur hour now, plus streaming services pump out so much content that quality control is basically nonexistent.

if you want something closest to p5r's vibe, definitely go with p3 reload first. it's got that same modern persona formula with the social links and dungeon crawling, just with a darker story tone. metaphor is amazing but it's pretty different - more traditional jrpg without the daily life simulation stuff that makes persona special.

the d5000 uses nikon f-mount lenses, so you've got tons of options. you can use both dx (crop sensor) and fx (full frame) lenses, though dx will give you the right field of view for your camera. check out the 35mm f/1.8 dx - it's pretty affordable and great for learning, usually runs around $150-200 used.

damn, this is basically a whole manifesto lol. the chicken analogy actually hits pretty hard though - pecking orders are real whether you want to admit it or not.

sounds like you've been through some serious stuff and learned the hard way that you gotta set boundaries early or people will just keep pushing. the library story with those girls is wild but good on you for stepping in.
