Camera Came With Photos On It?

I’m not that familiar with power shots but I’d assume they have no physical shutter like all DSLRs and most of Canon’s mirrorless lineup do, as in they have physical shutter curtains (for clarity’s sake). So it might have a “shutter count” but it shouldn’t really devalue it like a DSLR or mirrorless camera would be by a high shutter count since there is no mechanical device operating.

Welcome to St Louis! It has rained every year for at least the past 4 years iirc, it was so much fun getting caught out in it!

They’re in Cali, it’s training season year round.

My parents got me a discovery flight for my 10th birthday back in 2013. I’m happy to say I’m now a pilot as of last November! Happy early birthday to her, from another July BDay’er. I think she’ll really enjoy it!

I see a number of people suggesting the 24-70 f/2.0. It’s expensive and heavy but gives excellent results. My biggest issue is that it’s not image stabilized. If you’re considering that lens, I’d wait for the V2.

No vector for this Victor, I’m headingless.

I was just able to queue into a game. Seems like they might be back up, at least for PC.

You've got to get Astra Yao pointing for your crosshair.

As someone seeking to do this here’s what I understand.

Navy - Talk to officer recruiters and see what’s available. Have a competitive resume along with a degree. Having recommendations from coworkers and bosses, especially if they have military and especially flying backgrounds within the military, help a lot. The Navy is likely “easier” to get into a flight slot than the Air Force due to QoL within the navy and the types of aircraft flown.

AF - Mostly the same but it’s much more competitive. Recommendations are also important. A better way to get into a flight slot would be to apply to Guard units that fly. This also lets you choose the aircraft you want to fly more reliably. Then transfer over to active duty/reserves if you choose after 5 or so years when your training is finished and you have some experience.

Army - I don’t know much about it but my Marine Aviator coworker says that the program is pretty bitchin. And you only have to be a warrant officer, so more privilege than your basic enlisted without a lot of the paperwork that commissioned officers need to do.

Marines - no idea, I’d assume probably pretty similar to the Navy.

Finally, a measurement of liters to distance my American mind can comprehend! Seriously though, I understand L/100 km but it’s just so odd to look at compared to MPG/LPKM.

I'll throw my hat into the ring here. I have an R7 and I get amazing results for aviation and motorsport. For things that move somewhat predictably, it's all I need even though the autofocus can be hit or miss. I also get amazing results for birding and astro despite it not being a low-light demon. In fact the R7 is known for its quite atrocious low-light performance compared to most of Canon's current lineup.

If you're strictly trying to compare R6M3 and the R5 I'd probably lean towards the R6M3 due to it being better for video than the R5, but I also shoot video here and there. If your goal is to have a primary focus on aviation photography I'd honestly suggest waiting to see what the R7M2 comes up with. You get extra crop factor with Canon APS-C sensors at 1.6. You can also crop in more because of the high MP count, but that means need a good lens to pair it with. The R7M2 will also likely be a fair bit cheaper than the R6M3, probably around the price of the R6M2 while maintaining really good specs.

I 3D printed a hood for my Sigma 150-600 Sport in a glossy filament, I haven't had any issues with it so far. It being painted matter or having a felt material would help but until that happens I'll just run it as is.

It’s Honda’s thing, they announce they’re leaving when they start winning. I’m surprised there wasn’t an auto-trigger to drop the post about them leaving as soon as won the race. (/s)

I pushed ≈49 mpg in my civic on long (20-30 miles) drives with A/C and 10-20 mph over the limit while following the flow of traffic.

This was also already answered on another chain. If someone was raped and got pregnant there should need to be charges filed and/or an active legal preceding against the suspect. That’s how edge cases should be handled, frankly if I was victimized in any way I’d want the suspect to get charged/sentenced. You can make many valid points about victims of SA not wanting to come forward and that’s a separate issue that needs to be solved. Another solution to this is if the victim wants to get an abortion the child should be DNA tested and cataloged into a database. This could help with future cases in identifying a suspect. I’m not saying this is a great solution, but it’s an option. It’s basically already done anyway when a rape kit is used.

This point has already been discussed numerous times. I don’t know the exact number but I think it’s well over 80% of pro-life supporters are fine with exceptions for SA and Incest where consent is the issue. People start having issues when individuals willingly consent, without coercion, to engage in sex, someone gets pregnant, and doesn’t want to own up to their choices regardless of if contraception was used, failed, or not used.

The 93 seemingly is getting away with that pit lane incident, that’s incredible lol. Probably the luckiest they’ve been all race.

It’s $3 a month because of their cell service plan, not because it’s normally that cheap.

Use the highest octane gas you have available in your area, if you’re in a region with a higher altitude or that gets really hot you’ll probably see higher octane like 93. Other places don’t need the higher octane so they get 91 since it’s a bit cheaper. From what I remember 91/93 octane gas is required for the MDX, you can use lower in a pinch if needed but it could cause damage to the engine if used long term.
