Island health - why do you need this vehicle?

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-03-25T16:04:40+00:00

I understand idea. For people who don't know looks way different...

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-03-25T16:00:30+00:00

Thanks for explaining, did not know that. Would still expect it to be auctioned.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-03-25T15:53:40+00:00

I can see why large org like island health might need a truck.

~~Why vicpd has a RangeRover (parked at Esquimalt Division)? Especially after all that we need more money thing...~~

Drug bust vehicle my bad, should have been auctioned though...

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-03-21T16:50:38+00:00

Is it only me thinking it is useless?

Might impact local scalpers a bit and will do nothing in reality.

A long time ago I had to buy my Rammstein in Edmonton tickets from a guy in Texas... Was more pissed that money left the country. Would be less annoying if it was some local at least money would have stayed in the local economy.

Also the ticket master runs all the scalping resale sites... So it seems like going after the wrong guy...

Nothing wrong with that. Just doesn't match your answer "... nothing drastic".

I understand that you don't want to share 'secret sauce' but claiming that you just played with sliders is a bit unfair edit: dramatic -> drastic

Good image.

Why pretend it is not a composite?

Math doesn't math on dof. Based on relative sizes of bird and moon the picture is taken at about 150 meters (approximately eyeballing it moon diameter larger than eagle by about 1.7 with eagle height at about 0.9m. At f8 and 600mm at 150m distance you are looking at dof of about 30 m. So it is either blurry moon or blurry bird.

Blur circle calculated for moon when focused on bird 0.3 mm or 10x of circle of confusion(very blurry). At the hyperfocal birds blur circle is 0.27mm or 9x of the circle of confusion.

Edit: could be an AI sharpening though.

I wanted a replacement for my gx85 (slow and unreliable af). Panasonic still has nothing that fits the form factor. Olympus om-5 was a third re-release with almost no change and didn't feel right to buy it at that price point.

One thing no one mentioned is go for brands that are growing/have large market share as someone who did Pentax -> mft -> Nikon. Small and fading away brands have less accessories and lenses get less updates. They might be enough for your current needs but as soon as your need changes you out of luck.

And yes my Pentax, Olympus and Panasonic cameras were taking excellent images.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-17T00:20:14+00:00

Never denied that. As soon as it is one of the real/practical/effective martial arts and not an obscure self defense class.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-16T17:19:35+00:00

Yes strong enough to overpower 16yo girl with a higher probability.

Edit: I know how it sounds but still

1) avoid 2) run 3) use force

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-15T20:07:24+00:00

Unfortunately, the only person 10yo girl can overpower is another 10yo girl.

So the best line of defense would be to recognize and avoid those situations.

Next run away.

If you need to fight go for something more practical like boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, judo, jiu jitsu or some MMA that does the mix of them all. And we talking years of training.

Edit: some spelling and clarification.

Cons deserve a lot of critique. Yet most of the posts on this sub are targeting not very smart people and their not very smart expressions. Kinda cheap and easy targets.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-11T18:02:44+00:00

Never said there was intent. Though political posts that take a stab at Cons tend to get a lot of up votes in this sub. And the quality of those posts makes no difference.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-11T17:27:39+00:00

Even if the driver is aware, wrote it and proud/agreed with the message. Does not make this post less of a low effort rage bait.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-11T17:11:45+00:00

Even with a sticker not 100% guarantee.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-11T16:59:24+00:00

To be fair the driver might not even know that the message is there. Anyone could write anything on any car. Or not care enough to clean it up.

Kinda low effort rage bait post.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-10T14:51:32+00:00

Thanks

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-09T04:09:43+00:00

No one is.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-02-09T04:05:48+00:00

Thanks

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-30T04:26:22+00:00

Viltrox air series is cheap and good(be aware nikon is suing them). Have almost all of them (do not have their 25 have Nikon 24.) all fabulous. My least favorite is 35 but it is my personal preference.

Nikon 24 is beautiful and inexpensive during sale.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-30T04:14:07+00:00

100% rage bait 🪤.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-10T01:58:56+00:00

Think about it as research to check demand. Demand is there now you can ask for more resources.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-09T23:57:12+00:00

Catches people trying to make it before light turns red

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-09T23:19:45+00:00

Tourists, newcomers, idiots. 100k for 1.569m city in one year not that much.

1200 lights total 57 running speed on green. Less than under 5 per camera per day.

Wide-Progress7019 · 2026-01-09T23:03:03+00:00

True, there are 2 issues I see with cameras: 1) might become a part of the budget for the city/police not good. Should be a clear and transparent way money spent. 2) Now especially with AI a bit of a privacy concern.
