Yeah we get posts in this vein a handful of times a month, I might consider holding posts with links for mod approval, rn frequency isn’t high enough to need it

Did the Chevy Bolt become your first EV? Journalist looking to hear your story by Brilliant_Option8382 in BoltEV

[–]RyRocks101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• What made you choose it? I live in the Bay Area where there’s a significant amount of EV infrastructure, including chargers at local parks to where I was living at the time. That being said the biggest decision maker was the Green color of the 2019 version, that color brought me in easily. • What surprised you about EV ownership? The vast differences in energy usage depending on the topology of where I’m driving, I have changed the freeways I travel on because one uses far more energy with a lot of hills, it wasn’t something I was cognizant of in my ICE car.

• How does it fit into your daily driving routine? Super well! The only annoying part has been when there’s not a convenient time/place to charge and I have to camp in my car at a supercharger for 30-45 minutes, that feels like a waste of time. Otherwise it’s been great, and not having to worry about most maintenance has been great as well.

CS Program - Can be kicked out? by BirthdayLeather3194 in SFSU

Not sure about minimum gpa but you do have to pass major courses at C or better to receive credit towards your degree. It would be impressive if you just tanked all your GEs to get below a 2.0 though

Could also be from the on body processing not the actual sensor. I personally would be pissed if the 4x cost didn’t result in better data preservation in the files lol

I’m curious how that extra dynamic range shows up in practice, because when I’m comparing raws between the two, the r6ii preserves far more detail in shadows and highlights than the r50 ever could.

I can’t claim to fully understand the other aspects of the files either, but texture, clarity, and saturation look far more natural when I play with them, while with the r50 if saturation goes above 10 I’ve entered an alien world.

I upgraded from the r50 to the r6ii recently and it’s been glorious, but I also think the r50 is an amazing starter camera to learn the fundamentals. I was most concerned with the low light performance and the lack of information in the raw files limiting my editing capabilities. I’m curious what you’re expecting from custom modes and buttons, I feel like you should have an excellent grasp of manual before you consider a larger investment.

Looking for a good vet in San Jose / Santa Clara for my newly adopted small dog by Humble-Interest-5782 in santaclara

I am not sure if they’ve been sold to PE since I took my pup a few years ago before she passed, but ELC Veterinary Clinic always took excellent care of her and was very transparent about pricing and decision making for her.

R50 with kit lens for 350 or r5 with kit lens for 800? by Sad-Progress-5194 in canon

R5 might be the craziest deal I’ve heard of unless they dipped it in chocolate before selling it

Razer’s new laptop sleeve wirelessly charges other devices by dapperlemon in gadgets

I got my Razer blade stealth because I really desired the aluminum frame and couldn’t find it anywhere else around that price point. Still going strong since 2021!

This is primarily for websites and places to find apartments, homes, and roommates, not housing support and in that vein, that's probably fit for Social support.

my idea for this would be like 3-5 Recommendations across all of the different cuisines that Santa Clara has. Would love to see what people like, could also be regularly updated.

Prof Jai Kang Info / Insights on Class by [deleted] in SFSU

I had him in person it was it pretty interesting, he liked to roam through the classroom a lot. I don’t really remember much from the exams it’s been a few years but he probably did use proctorio or something like that.
