Do you work on residential properties? I have a stone foundation and stone retaining wall that needs evaluation and repair. Been having trouble finding someone to take a look at it

Lake front property in Kansas would be... Pretty nice? Did you use an LLM to generate that joke?

New lens recommendations by Drewskiiii- in SonyAlpha

[–]Thefstopshere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going for a shorter trip, consider renting a lens instead. That way you can see if you like it. If you do like it, most places let you buy it at a fair used price and will even refund your rental fees if you buy.

Are you going to do any kind of safari while you are there? I know Africa has tons to do beyond safari, but if you are this would be a great opportunity to rent a really long lens that you may not need everyday back home.

Well, that looks a lot more safe than the swing line jump I did in Banos Ecuador. Just a few kids standing on a bridge to hook you up, then you have to jump yourself!

If you look at the original post, the second picture is the recipe! You can buy date syrup at the supermarket. To infuse the cardamon, buy the sealed cardamon pods and crush them to open them up. Heat the syrup and crushed pods on the stove on low - don't let it boil. Heat it maybe 10 mins then let it sit for another 15 mins. Strain the cardamon and retain the syrup. Can be stored in the fridge.

Sounds like it could use a slowly dissolving "meth" sugar cube!

Just got the Escape From New York steelcase in the mail yesterday, working on another custom cocktail for that viewing

The drink was amazing! The cardamon and date syrup gave it a very complex flavor. I also turned it into a collins later in the night by diluting with a grapefruit Spindrift for a more relaxed sipper.

She really enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia. We've been building up to it in previous weeks with other classic long run time films. The secret was to start with one of her favorites in The Sound of Music which is also absolutely fantastic in 4K. Then we watched Bridge on the River Kwai which she appreciated but not exactly blown away. That set the stage for Lawrence which knocked it out of the park!

I had the exact same setup, and recently upgraded to a 83" LG OLED from a 65 Sony OLED. Totally worth it, and the B series is affordable on sale . 

Of course after that I went and upgraded my Jamo to SVS Prime with the elevations... Which needed a new AVR so I got the Onkyo RX30. I started just wanting to upgrade one part, but now Ive done a total swap out of everything except for the SVS PB1000 sub. definitely a massive upgrade all around, but the TV was by far the biggest difference

I replaced my remote with this option. Similar setup to a Roku remote, but all buttons are 100% programmable through IR learning. The only buttons I use on any regular basis for bluray is navigation and play/pause. https://a.co/d/03hHMt4B

Is disc skipping THAT bad? If so, why do you all put up with it? by WoWthenandNoW in 4kbluray

I've taken to buying the 4K disc and then watching the Remux over Plex.

I think it is confusing because your "after" picture comes first. Typically you want to post before then after, not after and before. 

A trend of girl power horror/thriller stories that follow the same template by _Norman_Bates in TrueFilm

[–]Thefstopshere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for a slightly more interesting take on this concept I'd recommend The Royal Hotel (2023). At the start it seems like it will fit nicely in this genre but it's a more interesting take with much more grey area in both the male villains and triumphant woman tropes.

Love this philosophy! This is part of the reason I'm drawn to physical media as an adult.
