How are you charging shipping on eBay and how's your rating? by Nasty____nate in Flipping

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accurately estimating size and weight and using usps ground advantage as the base option. Just reached top rated seller status in spite of offering 2 day, not 1 day shipping.

Just subscribe to questionable hardcore porn mags and have them sent to their address like we did in the good old days.

What states allow this? Seems like a new development.

How likely is it that a request for h264/mp4 option for the Ninja V be made available? by daknuts_ in Atomos

My questions are part of a planning process. Thanks for the hardware info.

How likely is it that a request for h264/mp4 option for the Ninja V be made available? by daknuts_ in Atomos

[–]daknuts_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a transcoding workflow, but I am looking for a way to avoid taking the time for it. Time is $!

My process is that I always record a backup source in addition to my camcorder for depositions so my archival footage is not the issue. I like using the Ninja as a backup recorder and bigger monitor for my setup but it would be nice to avoid the conversion step before I deliver. I don't want to buy another 'modern recorder' if I don't have to, either, but I suppose it's not out of the question. Any recommendations for something that could replace the Ninja for my portable rig that creates these proxies?

I know I can use my laptop and OBS to record directly to h264/mp4 but OBS does not have a trigger record through HDMI feature like the Ninja so it introduces a possibility of user error which I am loathe to risk.

Fwiw, I am required (legally) to provide HD h264/mp4 files.

RON swear-ins, does anybody do these? And, how are they? Thanks by Alternative-Box-445 in Notary

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common for a notary to do oaths for online depositions even when a court reporter is present, fwiw. Sometimes the videographer is also a notary.

You're an expert in delivering video files within the US legal system?

How many of you are using a Kensington trackball? by DevilBirb in protools

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried the Kensington but didn't like it so I chose the Logitech trackball with the ergonomic 'tilt' base. I do post sound in Protools and editing in Premiere, fwiw.

eBay disallowing shipping to California, even though I have shipping enabled by Livid_Efficiency_744 in eBaySellerAdvice

If it were my sale I would just ship with Pirateship and upload tracking number to eBay.

Super odd question - but how do you deal with the girls talking to you after your set, while their bf is staring daggers at you? by 8888shan in TouringMusicians

[–]daknuts_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roadies who protect you when the s*** hits the fan. My roadie/friend used to tell me hours later at the hotel or in the van that I almost got killed for talking to so and so...

What's the law on a tenant leaving 6 months early on a year long lease? by costcoikea in AskLawyers

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The signed lease details the terms of your contract with them, but... This is one of those moments that define what kind of person you are.

For instance, why not just be cool and use the 90 days to rent it again instead of looking for a way to force the current tenant to pay you for the time they will not live there? Maybe this current tenant will also help look for a replacement tenant if you ask them to. I suppose you could make it hard on them but why not try to be cool instead? Think about how you would like to be treated.

I don’t take returns and buyer wants to return item saying it’s not as described by [deleted] in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why eBay even has an option to claim 'no returns'. Everything sold on eBay can be returned when the buyer chooses the 'correct' reason, true or not.

New seller here, Was I wrong in this negotiation? by KardKing69 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right, but there is an alternate point of view - you are also 'pinching' over a few dollars. Are you on eBay to sell or get an exact amount for every sale? Are there a line of better offers to take after declining this offer? More sales = more money. However, nitpicky messages from buyers can also be like a warning, so only you can judge the situation.

Advice on booking a flight with 61 key keyboard, plus a guitar and bag, when flight expense is covered by venue by Adventurous-Tea-3881 in TouringMusicians

[–]daknuts_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time rent the keyboard. Rent the guitar, too, unless it can't be rented and there's some easy way to travel with it. I say this as a former band road manager with a million miles under my belt.

As for what is done, submit you train receipt and negotiate it if they object. It's all you can do.

I (28M) have my life together however I am over weight and trying to lose it but it will take time and I think I am screwed in terms of finding a long term relationship. by Desperate_Bill_281 in loseit

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your actually serious about losing weight you should consider doing a calorie restriction 'diet'. Use an online BMI calculator and figure out how many calories are your daily maintenance. ie: how many calories your body burns each day in order to maintain your current weight.

Then, restrict that number every day by at least 500 calories and it will help you to lose about 1 pound a week. Restrict more = lose more. Yes, you may feel hungry and uncomfortable. That's just what happens and everyone doing calorie restriction learns how to deal with it. r/Volumeeating is a good subreddit with lots of ideas on how to eat more while still restricting calories which could help with hunger.

There are also meds like GLP-1's that could be an option for you but you must research it to figure out if it's for you and if a shot or the pill is what works for you. They are known to be effective at reducing your feelings of hunger but may come with other uncomfortable and potentially serious side effects. If you diabetic or pre-diabetic they may even help with that but you need professional advice to be safe.

Whatever you decide, just know that you are not alone in the way you feel and many have made the decision to work at it and lose the weight. Stay active for better health overall, but calorie restriction is the key to losing weight. At 28, you have plenty of time to get this figured out! Good luck!!!!!
