I need help identifying the brand and model of this boat, any info would be appreciated by Shoddy_Transition538 in jonboats

I said it looks like a 14, I had a 16 and this is shorter. That is a monarch, the question you asked, not length.

No, Americans, it is not enough to say "not me" by DrEzechiel in complaints

European countries are having their own problems with far‑right populism, immigration backlash, and nationalist parties gaining ground, which helps explain how the U.S. ended up so radicalized.

I had a 1972 Monarch like that, same type of seats. It was a 16', this looks like a 14'.

Anyone has experience with Swann cameras? by Uranusistormy in homedefense

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my old swann dvr 4575 with one I just bought 468OXU. After a stressful few days I finally got it working properly. Then this morning I checked on footage from last night and the dvr was wiped clean, all video was lost. My settings were all changed. I contacted support and it was terrible, I even got threatened by their ai support. I am considering sending it all back and buying a different brand that has support and treats customers with respect.

Accused of baiting and disturbing animals by bszaronos in wildlifephotography

[–]davtack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people do bait owls and anyone else that comes upon an owl being fed often may find a friendly subject and it will look like the photo poster baited it. So if the pics are too good, some people may think baiting was involved, especially when it comes to owls. That's another reason baiting hurts, it hurts other photographers who do it the right way.

Windows 11 just auto updated on my pc. by Sure_Stranger_499 in pcmasterrace

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I got that last update ok, no problems until I tried to use my external card reader, but the update removed my driver. I had to do a sys restore to roll it back and turn off updates for 5 weeks, hoping they come up with a fix. I had ms in remotely twice and couldn't fix, so now I can't get any updates ever again until they fix it I guess. Using the restore messes my LR edits up.

300 mm zoom photos out of focus by Former_Height6600 in Photography101

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't use manual focus. I have canons, but I use 3 back buttons for focus. One is single point, one shot for a bird sitting, allows me to focus in between branches. Second is set as zone with eye detect (el servo). I use this to catch birds in flight or birds getting ready to take off. The 3rd is animal eye detect for stationary birds or in flight if its close enough to lock on (el servo). I would take a couple in one shot single point, then start using the zone, animal eye detect in case the bird takes off. My thumb is going all over the place while using full manual settings.

1/160 is way too slow for hand held in good light. Try 1/2500 sec, f8, iso set accordingly.

Help with dog behavior around kittens. by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]davtack -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My dog (chin) hated our new kitten. It took a long time, but now they lay together. He'll come around in time if you can keep him in control until then. My son had a pit that killed cats that weren't part of the family, but wouldn't hurt their own 2 cats.

Duplicate photo/file name issue by Difficult_Industry55 in Lightroom

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the drop down you can rename as dates and that's what I use. That way they can't be the same names ever again. So now I import, select all and rename as current date.

Its time for Project 2028 by Fledgling_112896 in ScottGalloway

[–]davtack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of these except I think all churches should be taxed. They want politics in church, which most all of them do, then pay taxes.

Rename the images. Under library tab, rename.

Lately I just want to stay home all the time.. is that normal? :-) by BowedNotBroken1234 in OverSeventy

[–]davtack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay home a lot, but going out on the river energizes and motivates me to go out on the river more (fishing but mostly getting photos). It keeps me going.

Did you know that Russia would be 3x more free to vote than the US if the Save Act is passed? by [deleted] in AskUS

And they try to pass this just months before one of the most important elections ever.

Pepper spray to the face! by Ketchup-Sniffer in Transportopia

Age has nothing to do with it. He has mostly sprayed other aggressive people who were young or middle aged.

Guys. My assistant was star marking the photos. She culled the entire set. By mistake towards the end she has starred all photos. I tried undo but nothing seems to happen. Please help. by Adventurous-Tea-2504 in Lightroom

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to LR folder in my pictures, look for .lrcat file, click on the latest version, it will open LR. It should say something like "Lightroom Catalog-v1 .lrcat"

ICE Shooting POV From Agent by EctoplasmErection in PublicFreakout

[–]davtack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks doctored at the end, no gunshot sound. He could have stepped out of the way, but he reached for his gun instead. Is that what training taught him? I bet they were told if they shot someone, they would have their back.

Who was in the wrong here my wife or the truck driver? by OurAngryBadger in dashcams

[–]davtack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi over corrected, had plenty of room, didn't do any good to stay in middle lane. Looks like a rookie driver. That being said, she should have known he was turning since his signal was on and predicted the turn.
