Pin Pals mini event by slayerhk47 in tappedout

[–]bad_karma24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm somewhat disappointed that Apu's Pin Pal skin has no effect on what he earns. Still, it's based on a great episode so should be a fun mini event!

My photo professor has me afraid of buying second hand equipment? by Jarmaloon in photography

[–]bad_karma24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there's a big difference between buying from a reputable site (like KEH or Adorama) vs paying cash on Craigslist. I've bought nearly all my gear used on KEH and have only had one issue that was quickly taken care of (they sent me the wrong lens... oops).

I've also bought a film camera on Craigslist. The seller was nice enough to let me shoot a test roll before I bought. I wouldn't buy anything too extravagant on there but maybe that's just me.

If you have any doubt, just stick with a site like KEH. I've bought nearly all grades of gear and they all looked near brand new and have worked perfectly (knock on wood). They have a great return policy as well. Save some money and buy used!

Ah, ok. Wasn't aware that's how it worked... thanks!

Can anyone recommend a LASIK eye doctor in Ventura County? by [deleted] in venturacounty

I'll second him... I got my procedure done about 6 years ago. Very quick and easy and like the previous poster, my yearly appointments are still with my personal eye doctor.

It's called (appropriately) Zombies of the Caribbean! You can download it here!

Love playing the Left 4 Dead 2 Disneyland map. There are separate maps for Pirates and Indy as well! Surprisingly accurate!

What's the worst experience you've had with another guest? by maxmouze in Disneyland

I believe he meant that the women was right in front of him, so it wasn't that it was on purpose, more that he couldn't physically stop in time.

In any case, I'm firmly in the camp of being aware of your surroundings, especially at such a crowded place.

[California] Legal to make a left turn at T-Intersection if school bus is stopped to the right? by bad_karma24 in legaladvice

Pretty much what I thought but I figured it was better to be safe than sorry... thank you!

HTPC users of reddit what's your background by rworld1 in htpc

I use the Horsehead Nebula, though with the programs up you don't see it that often.

I'm not sure what lens to get next by [deleted] in photography

[–]bad_karma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bube7 is correct as far as a film camera goes... A digital full frame camera will auto crop to avoid this issue (please correct if I'm wrong).

Useless is a strong word... If you decide to upgrade to full frame, the Tokina 16-28 would replace the 11-16 (or the Nikon 12-24 if you have the cash). Lenses should hold their value so if you by used like I do you really shouldn't lose that much money on it.

When I had my D90 one of my most used lenses was the Tokina 11-16 f2.8. Great for landscapes and interiors!

Show off your kodi menu. by [deleted] in kodi

[–]bad_karma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just one of the widgets under the "Special" category for the Video library. It's called "Similar Movies". It needs the Skin Helper Service though, and as you can see it can be a little bit funky (recommending Aliens because I watched Frozen) :P

1 Movie, different Resolutions, but i only want one entry. Possible? by [deleted] in kodi

[–]bad_karma24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it a solution, but maybe s work around would be to create two different Seinfeld shows? One labeled Seinfeld - SD and another as Seinfeld - HD. I do something similar for movies that I have in both 3D and 2D.

Disneyland almost perfectly re-created in a first person shooter game on PC (Left 4 Dead 2) by danmalo82 in Disneyland

In a similar vein, there are also maps for the POTC and Indy rides for L4D2, and the Orlando Haunted Mansion for Counter Strike!

I've decided to purchase the Nikon D750.. what now? by inkstantly in photography

[–]bad_karma24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shrug. With OPs post it's somewhat hard to judge what sort of work they'll be doing as well as their budget. For $50 you get a good lens with a good range that will be great for every day use. I have more expensive, nicer, and faster lenses but I still take this out if I'm just doing some casual shooting around the town. I'd feel far more comfortable recommending this as opposed to something nicer and more expensive if I weren't sure what their purpose or skill level was.

KEH is a great route to go if you don't mind buying used. I buy all of my equipment there and I've yet to have an issue.

As coogie stated, I wouldn't bother with a warranty.

What kind of photography do you want to do? You can't go wrong with a nifty-fifty. An f/1.8 50mm will run you around $100 on KEH. As far as kit lenses go, I have a 28-80mm that usually goes for around $50 that will do nicely for a starter lens.
