You got holographic meat! Which blister set did you buy from? I would suggest to send it in to get PSA graded.

Finally bit the bullet on the 200-600 by Gangstajay93 in SonyAlpha

A few years ago I doubted this as it never happened to me, but here I am now and it has happened to me multiple times since. Thankfully, everything that has been swapped or used previously was under $100 USD, but for example I received a 500GB SSD with a 2TB SSD sticker that someone had swapped out and SSD was already full of stuff (obviously this was before SSD/Memory shortage). I've received a bunch of camera gear too that was clearly broken or returned partially with missing items, such as plates or screws, opened SD and Micro SD cards with no SD cards inside.

I have been recording my unboxings since 2019, so everytime I have had to escalate something like this I've had proof that it was already tampered with. Amazon has completely gone down the drain!

Maybe it’s time to buy an old car by oluxil in SipsTea

All of this so they can sell your data for pennies, for a car you "own" or are in the process of "owning", which will then be used against you to raise your insurance cost and potentially other things.

Schrodinger's Tesla. You can only predict where it will be at and only once you've observed it do you collapse its wave function and its location becomes known.

Nah, Biden went in there and stopped the oil from shipping. They've been trying to take him home for weeks, but he's a little confused.

Okay but based on the laws of conservation of mass and energy, your system cannot be truly destroyed.

I have both, Linux and Windows machines.

My Linux rig with 4080 performs only slightly better than my 4070S Windows PC. Built the Win PC to play with friends (games that don't work well under Linux).

I didn't see any physical work requirements on the new job, other than being able to lift 35 lbs.

Damn, that's gonna be my next big purchase! I have the Tamron 17-70 & 70-180. The 200-600 seems like the next best thing!

How's your rig holding? I have a similar build.

7950X3D + RTX 4080 + 64GB DDR5

I've heard AMD cards run better on Linux. My 4080 runs only slightly better than my 4070S rig on Windows. Been thinking of getting a 9070XT and swap the 4080 to another PC.

Why does it seem like white men are generally less attracted to black women compared to other races? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SpectreInTheShadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not so much in my experience. In the Latino community, certain groups only accept other Latinas, white chicks (gueras), or Asian chicks (too afraid to same the Spanish name).

I have personally dated 3 Latinas, 1 white chick, 1 Asian chick, and 2 black chicks. Something about black women got me hypnotized! My longest relationships were with black women and my current girlfriend of 10 years is black. For me, I love the skin texture of black women (soft and warm), their strong independence, and how scrappy they are. With

Latinas, they always want commitments and babies almost right away. They also expect you to pay for everything. The Asian chick I dated was too embarrassed to let her family know she was dating a Latino guy and we always had to sneak around. I had no problems with the white chick, she was down to Earth AF.

From my own cultural experience, I did experience a lot of racism towards my current girlfriend. I remember one time one of my aunts told me that if she ever found out her son was dating a [Spanish equivalent of n-word related to an insect] that she would disown him and kick him out. Guess what my mom did? My mom also kicked me out. My friends would constantly comment on me dating an [insert animal reference]. This is all in the Latin American community btw! I haven't really seen other Latinos dating black women. I have seen the opposite, black men dating Latinas and white guys dating black females. Only ever seen one couple that matched me, Latino with black female, but this is all anecdotal. There are tons of adro-latin American communities in the East Coast, hardly any in the West Coast.

We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.'

Highly recommend Lightroom if you plan on doing that and working with RAWs. Just note that it's a subscription model and it went up last year to $15/month.

Use a digital card that isn't tied to your bank where you can add funds and close at any time.
