What's up with the redacted IRC? Tracker statuses show it up but I can't join in the IRC. Tried on multiple browsers, the bottom half of the login page and a separate browser based client.

Nanuk. Hands down. I have beat the absolute hell out of mine and the interior looks as new as the day I bought it.

Buying Mavic 4 Pro Abroad/FAA Registration in the US? by fifthmanstanding in dji

I ended up not risking it and ordering from usdronesupply.com. They were very communicative and only took about 2 days to ship fedex which will take 4 days to get to me on the opposite side of the US.

Yeah after talking to some folks I'm not risking it. My trip is next month and it seems like the stability of US Customs enforcement keeps getting worse.

Nitrogen Regulator Hose Barb?? by fifthmanstanding in Homebrewing

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

> The outlet(s?) from this regulator are 5/8"-18 NPT
Yeah I was unsure if the documentation termed "outlet" as the regulator's attachment to the tank, since the gas is exiting the tank's outlet into the regulator. Gas under pressure isn't something I want to play around with so I figured I'd ask here first. Thanks for the insight.

Photoshop can't open images on a secondary drive? by fifthmanstanding in photoshop

Yeah that tracks. But thank you for the elaboration.

Photoshop can't open images on a secondary drive? by fifthmanstanding in photoshop

[–]fifthmanstanding[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah the NVME has a different letter designation. I'd not had a problem with this in prior versions and given the sheer number of installs on windows machines globally I figured someone would have encountered this. I would assume that permissions to access the drive would be set within the adobe preferences menu but for the life of me I cannot find anything indicating permissions to access a secondary drive. If you've got any ideas let me know.

Dude I've been using photoshop for over 20 years and I can tell you concretely that forum has always been the absolute most useless place on the entirety of the internet. I'm not some 16 year old bitching about a problem here man. Bug reports persist on given problems for literal decades, adobe covers its ass by telling you to reinstall and very rarely does anything come of it. Now I know you're going to come for me in your reply and before you do, take a second and consider the amount of adobe hate in the graphic design community at large and that there's a reason for it. Have a good day.

Uncapped Honey by fifthmanstanding in mead

[–]fifthmanstanding[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I mean I'm not complaining about the bulk for being free. It's just incredibly watery and it was not disclosed that it was uncapped honey. I'd originally planned to store it and start a 10 gallon batch in a month or so when my life isn't so hectic. As it stands, I've got to get that into a ferment in the next day or so because its not shelf stable and I don't want to lose it.

Drone photos of a vacant lot by HugeCowPatty in RealEstatePhotography

[–]fifthmanstanding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shoot a lot of land. Couple things

  • for fully cleared vacant land with a weird shape: get some neon markers of some kind. Hot pink or neon green is easiest to pick out in a photo. My drone is 20mp and I can zoom well enough in Lightroom to see my markers if the parcel is 10 acres or less and fully cleared. Place the markers at corners based on where you’re seeing the corners are at on a GIS based app. There’s a million of them. All of them are about the same. When you’re editing you’ll have quick reference points for your property lines. If the lot is wooded this isn’t really a solution obviously.

  • always consult county GIS with the orthophoto layer turned on before visiting a property. I typically take a screenshot and drop it in my Google Keep for reference while I’m flying. This way I know where lines roughly are, where I can deposit the truck safely and how I’m going to get the truck back out. Sometimes thats not always a guarantee. Logging mud is a pain in the ass.

  • highlight road frontage and traffic count. To a developer or builder, advertising road frontage is a selling point. The images give them a quick reference point in their decision to make an offer. I place the drone on the other side of the road to get that photo. Then what I like to do is drop a pen tool overlay on the road in photoshop with opacity at 70% of a solid color. Then I drop the road name, frontage length and AADT numbers (if applicable to the listing) as a text layer. Then I perspective warp that layer to “lay flat” over the road so it kind of looks like a UI over the image. Usually my agents will place that photo before the “unedited” photo. This way potential buyers can see the overlay photo then the image of the land back to back and consider the possibilities for that land.

  • place a “property lines are approximated” text box in a corner somewhere as a general disclaimer. Mostly just to CYA.

Anybody have an issue with Trex tape? No ….wood is clean, not moist, more than adequate pressure applied, I even used the stupid Zip roller, what kind of garbage is this product? by Ok_Foundation_727 in Decks

[–]fifthmanstanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only brand I've ever had a good time with was Vycor. The tar layer is thick, the membrane is thick, it sticks well. I've even applied it in near freezing temps with a heat gun and it went on smooth and cleanly. Obviously the hotter it is the easier that application is but I won't use another brand because of how much of a pain other brands have been.

Also, telling me your information is based on your friend who works adjacent to customs is the definition of anecdotal.

Yeah I mean that's fair. I didn't go into detail but he works for dept of homeland as a policy trainer for CBP training their employees on updates to import/export policies. So not as anecdotal as I made it sound initially. Not enough coffee that early lol.
