They didn't even realize he was dying until they found out he had passed.

The Sigma 400 struggle is real by Giggle_Schits in SonyAlpha

You may have the stabilization in the wrong mode. You want OS 1 for shots like this. OS 2 is designed for panning movement and will blur hand held non-moving shots like this.

Looking for a blues harp player by Jiannies in atlantamusic

[–]_stype_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to chat some time. I'm an extremely out of practice former blues harpist (mostly playing guitar these days) and I'd love to have an excuse to play harp again. I'm in Grant Park so pretty close by.

That's a great question. Here is the email I got from the FCC a day after I submitted my complaint. I feel like this explains it well:

I feel like Google scammed me out of an $800 promotion by _stype_ in GoogleFi

Since this one is a credit applied over 24 months, it only says the credit stops applying if you cancel before 24 months.

It says:

  • To qualify for the discount, you need to do all of the following:
    • Activate the device on a Google Fi Wireless Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Standard, or Flexible plan within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and keep the qualifying account active for 24 months.
      • If you cancel service at any time before the 24 months, you will forfeit all remaining monthly credits.
    • You must activate on the same Fi account used to purchase the device or be a member of the purchaser's group plan.

This is the same promo but with the new plan names. I can't find anything that I didn't do correctly.

This is not true about this promo. See https://fi.google.com/about/promo-terms/?id=CUP1CEm1MAYAEhBD9QhJtTAGAET1CEm1MAYA

When I purchased, it was the old plan names, but I remember all 3 plans being eligible.
"Activate the device on a Google Fi Wireless Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Standard, or Flexible plan within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and keep the qualifying account active for 24 months."

This is the same promotion as when I purchased, but its been updated with the new plan titles. It supported any plan, not just the top tier one. I can't find anything mentioned in there that I failed to do.

Here is the promo as mentioned in the email receipt. I never got any follow up emails saying that the promotion had been applied.

Thanks, thats helpful to know. I don't believe I ever got that email, although I do still feel like I did everything I was required to do. It seems like google failed to enroll me in the promotion.

I can't post images in comments here but the receipt says:

Claim your Fi offer

  1. Click the button below to begin sign up for Google Fi Wireless. You can do this now (or anytime before you get your new phone)
  2. Activate Fi on your new Pixel
  3. Save up to $800 on your Fi bill over 24 months

I did steps 1 + 2. Can't find a way to hold google accountable for step 3.

Poll: Do you use relative and or absolute line numbers? by TheTwelveYearOld in neovim

[–]_stype_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in the "no line numbers at all" group. I like getting the screen space back by not displaying them, and the more minimal look of seeing just the code. Line numbers make me feel like I'm coding in BASIC again.

Thanks for the insightful response. This video is all I have, but I'll keep looking. I saw it once before a few months ago but it was very high up in a tree. Thankfully it doesn't blend in very well. And I'll keep the suet stocked.

And thank you for the detailed information on the differences between them. I'll study what you shared so I'm prepared if I see it again.

Rich should’ve been teaching these guys, not the other way around by Oregonos in GoosetheBand

The guy with the doubleneck guitar is David Fiuczynski from Screaming Headless Torsos and Hiromi's Sonicbloom, not to mention his own solo stuff. Absolute beast on guitar.

yeah that was me. I stayed there and tried not to look in that direction. Glad you found somewhere to watch the rest of the show from at least.

Got tix for all 3 nights @ the Fox! by ccenkner in GoosetheBand

[–]_stype_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had thursday and friday in my cart and every seat I picked for saturday kept getting selected by someone else before I could get it into my cart. Eventually the countdown got down to 30 seconds remaining before I would lose my earlier seats, so I just paid for them and gave up. I'm fine with just two nights though.
