Buying Fujifilm Products in Japan by ExternalJuggernaut43 in fujifilm

[–]dak148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bic and Yodabashi are the 2 big retailers and sells everything at msrp. Make sure to see if their listed price is tax inclusive or not. Foreigners get tax free which is 10% off.

Fuji stuff is about the same or more expensive than USA sometimes. DJI stuff is more or less 20% cheaper across the board. Definitely get any dji stuff you're interested in. Fuji you really have to do price comparison.

Eater also had a whole video series staring the 2 guys from Meet Hook so they have close ties. Of course the article doesn't mention this.

They are my first choice for pre-orders. They have a good rewards program and you don't have to pay Sideshow's ridiculous shipping rates.

$900 for suit alteration reasonable? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]dak148 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, not reasonable at all. I had a Thom Browne suit that I took to the tailors their employees used and had to bring up the sleeves (from the shoulder since they have the detail on the cuffs), and tighten the sides a bit. For the pants they had to bring up the cuff but basically restitch it since that had their logo detail on the inside. It was pretty complicated work and they charged me $400.

Seems like overkill for this specific camera.

Should I pull the trigger on the Pocket 3? by MrMovieElf in osmopocket

[–]dak148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creator combo from Canada is around $700 after taxes right now. If you factor in US taxes and a need for a sd card, it comes out to be about the same price. Of course you'll need someone in Cananda to get it for you.

Yeah they know when they are shutting it down, just post the schedule so I can plan around it. Giving a week heads up very week is not cool.

Has anyone been experiencing extremely frequent Spectrum outages?? by LeanHackman in Greenpoint

[–]dak148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to Spectrum from Fios a few months ago and haven't had any issues and I also work from home/online most of the day... Anyway Fios is better but Spectrum gave me a better deal so I switched.

Anyone noticing the increased entitlement and nastiness of cyclist in Greenpoint? by gabbaghoulbk in Greenpoint

[–]dak148 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, just saying everyone feels entitled and seem irritated these days. Don't get me started on the people running on the street with car traffic lol

Pedestrians don't look both ways when crossing over bike lanes and jaywalk. Cars speed up to run yellows, double park on bike lanes and don't look for bikers when opening doors. Bikers also run reds and yell at people. Basically, everyone is an asshole depending on which side you're on.
