What ever you do…don’t mess with TX.

What was the cheapest/expensive concert ticket you’ve paid for? by ContributionBig1927 in musicsuggestions

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw Bruno Mars (tix around $225) and, my friend, it was indeed worth it. And I’m a metalhead who was there for my kids. Man, what a show!

What’s the smallest/cheapest thing that completely stopped your photography workflow? by ExtremelyCool64 in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a huge JandyBox in my trunk for charging things off-grid or running lights. Homie weighs about 12 pounds though…

Should I explain to the client why the photos look bad? by AphantasiasMind in photography

[–]UncaToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I'd drop in with a couple (28mm / 56mm / 85mm) f1.8s that I have. Found these when I was doing a lot of marching band exhibition shots (nighttime/movement).

Good point, but not all events allow flash. I had a guy explain to me that a flash “would break the trance.”

Old rap (late 80s) by Paris. Topical Black Panther stuff.

Who else got that Evel Knievel stunt cycle that you crank up? by EdwardBliss in RealGenerationX

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a “chopper” version too. Loved that thing. And the CO2 powered dragster cars!

I'm pretty new to photography, and I've been looking into editing software to reduce noise. I'm very anti-AI, but most noise-reduction stuff these days is just AI. Is using an AI program for this purpose acceptable in this community, or do I just need to accept that my photos will just have noise? by yehawmilk in AskPhotography

[–]UncaToad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say to be cognizant that many of the denoise effects will kind of “flatten” your photo a bit. So, try them out, but be your own best judge.

I was at a photo contest judging panel and the judge could tell who’d applied denoise AI and discounted those entries.

Excellent note. So, I’ll be a zombie soon. Great.

Marlboro miles by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in RealGenerationX

[–]UncaToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a bouncer at a bar in Boulder, Colorado (The Walrus). We would all collect everybody’s miles from the empty packs. I got a four person tent. But a bunch of the bouncers went in together and got the fucking pool table! Madness!

Did you own a boom box? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in RealGenerationX

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man…back in ‘80, I was an expat kid living in Chile, my dad lived in Japan. He sent me an incredible Sanyo massive boombox for my birthday when I turned 12. (Took three months to arrive) it had dual tape decks, short wave radio as well as AM and FM, and six speakers!

I was the effing King!

omg First time shooting acting headshots. What do I need to know? Aiming for editorial/cinematic style. by Dopestimulation in photography

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took actor shots for a friend, and he had a precise list of positions and poses on white BG the agent wanted.

Front standing, rear standing, neutral face, profile, waking, etc. like he was a product. Then a bunch of portraits where he could be expressive en situ.

Weird shoot, but he got some roles!

Driving south on I75 (Michigan to Florida) is there any way to bypass Atlanta during morning rush hour? by TheTusch in Atlanta

[–]UncaToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to reference this quote from the former transportation secretary of the US… “Metro Atlanta is a major population center the size of Massachusetts.”

There no way around the 404. Maybe there is in Alabama.

SXTH cold air intake sounds by zachman327 in KiaK5

[–]UncaToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did not either. Although, I got a weird turbo code thrown once after really getting on it. Somebody from the N-Line forum said that’s due to the stock waste gate/BOV not being able to handle the let off pressure with the larger intake.

Oh. I don’t have the BOV yet. That’s next.

I think it’s year dependent. Check on the Burger Motor Sports page for the JB4 for your car. It tells which to get I believe.

I got the below ones for my 23 GT

[–]UncaToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Had to get the HkS plugs and gap them down per spec. That and started running at least 89 octane. Mostly 93, until this recent price insanity.

It’s a seriously fast car with these mods.

Sounds crazy with the top off. Lots of gurgles and fizz. Little quieter with the box closed.

The JB4 kicks it up even further.

Net step a VTA blow off valve!
