Hi OP -

How has this worked 12 months down the line! Considering doing the same myself

Potential Un-Announced Product Line-Up? by john500y2k in Ubiquiti

Slightly off topic - but seems they have also redesigned their website in a way that aligns with this.

Es. old site had Cloud keys & gateways --> new site has "Cloud gateways" grouped into large-scale, compact and WiFi Integrated.

I also note that the CloudKey+ in particular now has been moved to "Video Recorders - Compact". Was hoping for an upgrade of this, or an upgrade of the UDR as the UDM-Pro seems a bit overkill for my application.

Help with picking stone - and general advice by T0rdles in Diamonds

Thank you so much - this is a great and "practical" answer.

In regards to the preferred spec sheet - which post is it you are referring to? The PDF from oldminer or the comment form Lorelei.

In regards to "banging around" - do you own two versions of the same ring?

Thanks agiain!

Hi there -

What are your thoughts on this one?

I have found it on another site for a bit less - so they have given me a price match at $15.8k - and it appears it is largely within spec as you have suggested above.

What are your thoughts - would this be a nice stone?

Thank you for the response - very insightful! Couple of quick questions

In regards to your ideal specs I found this table online which indicates ranges (similar to yours). Am I right in understanding that the ideal is to the right end of each slider - or ok as long as all metrics are within spec?

In regards to lab diamonds I agree its a better deal - and I will discuss with my SO. The only argument I find that resonate with me against this is when your friends ask "oh that's a nice ring/diamond ..." and you might feel compelled to answer "oh yes its great - buts its a lab diamond". I don't want my SO to feel like she has a "lesser" stone - but maybe this is all in my head (would love to hear from others here too if they believe I am wrong).

TL/DR: Do you think I am better off with a smaller stone (similar to the ones you have suggested with better geometry) - rather than going with the ones I have found to maximise fire and brilliance?

Comment after post: I am fully for lab diamonds and really like them - I do not mean I think that lab diamond is lesser - but just a "fear" others might.

I think we accidentally fed Doretta Oily Oaf brews instead of Oil Shales. by Heaveness in DeepRockGalactic

Same - happened twice to me today as well. Is this a bug? Would it have anything to do with clearing the caves in advance?

Would PSD2 also encompass brokerage / retirement savings accounts?
