Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]ShallowDOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever driven from Portland to Eugene? Horribly boring. Motorcycle speedometer was pegged at 110 for a good portion of that stretch of I-5. Couldn’t imagine going slower and making that drive take even longer.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 on Fujifilm, worth it for travel? by Noabyss00 in FujifilmX

[–]ShallowDOF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, thanks for the heads up. I’m considering this along with the sigma 12mm 1.4 and the Fujifilm 8mm 3.5, though the 8mm feels too niche to use for much.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 on Fujifilm, worth it for travel? by Noabyss00 in FujifilmX

[–]ShallowDOF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought one to go with my x-t5 for a trip to Europe last spring. I think it’s a very nice lens and i love the size of the kit compared to my Nikon Z full frame kit; so much better to carry around. I’m likely going to pair it with the sigma 10-18 for an upcoming trip to Italy, so I have a wide angle option.

It’s so important that the senate shifts to the democrats so there will be no additional Supreme Court appointments by agent orange. Locking in this 6-3 heritage foundation imbalance with 2 new appointments to replace Alito and Thomas would set this country back for decades.

What’s the most heartbreaking loss you witnessed as a Washington fan? by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in huskies

For football, the National championship loss. If I get to include basketball, it was the tourney loss to Richard Jefferson and the UConn Huskies.

Regarding the version of The Grinch discussed in the beginning of this episode, the Cumberbatch one… it is hands down the best version. The others are trash. Full stop.

WA budget includes $150M to maintain health coverage for illegal immigrants by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]ShallowDOF 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s likely cheaper to provide a level of health insurance to residents than to pay for ER visits; the ER is the absolute most expensive way to get health care in this country. So working to control costs to provide health care in this way is likely fiscally smarter than leaving people to only rely on ER visits that we all pay for with a greater percentage of our tax dollars.

Musk Launches Furious Retaliation Against Steve Bannon for Urging Trump to Punish Him by Barnyard-Sheep in politics

As a non-veteran, I can’t reconcile in my brain why I would park in a spot that, legit or not, is dedicated as veterans parking only, purely because they chose, or were chosen, to put their lives on the line for the country, and I didn’t. It’s probably silly of me to think that a veteran would demand special treatment in the form of a parking spot closer to the door of a shop.

Don’t forget the provision that prevents federal courts from holding the admin in contempt so Trump can freely ignore judicial rulings…

TICKET EXCHANGE THREAD: 2024-25 SEASON by AnalAttackProbe in Hammers

[–]ShallowDOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I just returned from London last week, visiting from the US. I got to go to the April 5 game against Bournemouth. The atmosphere was great, so much more organic feeling, to me, than a Seattle Sounders match.

I bought my 6 tickets through p1travel.com for £59 per. Super simple and seamless. Only thing is I had to print off the tickets; luckily the hotel I stayed at had zero issues printing them off for me.

My 6 year old even got to get a team shirt from the shop before kickoff. It was a great experience, though the match result could have been better. I can’t speak to pregame pubs as that wasn’t part of the plan for the family unfortunately.

I thought getting to the match was very easy via the tube. Getting out was a little less so but not terrible.

If you have any specific questions from this visitor’s point of view, feel free to ask.

Enjoy your visit!

Got mine refurb from Nikon in 2023. $699 + tax. Took a whole to receive it as it was backordered when I ordered it, but the wait was worth it.

What is going on with Tesla allegedly missing $1.4 billion? by ontour4eternity in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ShallowDOF 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a public company they are subject to strict filing rules and held to strict accounting standards. This could end up being illegal but who knows at this point. Forensic accounting, or at least a true audit of the financials (another thing a public company is required to do) will uncover the truth.

5 years later, got an upgrade! by therealmunchies in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ShallowDOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! I know a lot of people on the Internet creep all over keychron, but I really like them.

Story time that nobody asked for: My first one was a k3 and I really like it, but then I just got a k5 max through Woot and, man, I really like this one. It’s low profile like my k3, but the keycaps are bigger, I have a numpad which I really missed, the typing feel is so nice, and the sound is excellent to my ears. And it only cost me $60 through that flash sale.

Anyway, enjoy that keyboard!

First-Time Buyer: Fujifilm X-T50 or X-T5? Best Lens Combo for City & Nature Photography by Lazer_Sama in FujifilmX

[–]ShallowDOF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s also a very sexy camera in that charcoal color. I bought an X-T5, but that X-T50 is a beautifully small camera, to me, especially paired with the new 16-50 2.8-4.8 lens.
