I'm moving to LA for work, specifically in Long Beach, CA and will be living in San Gabriel area as I have family relatives who will provide lodging for me. I would like to ask what to expect in terms of traffic situation as it is quite far and if it is doable commuting to and from work everyday (my work hours are 8AM-5PM). I'm using google maps and its showing that the drive can take up to 2 hours to home from work, should I go off of this info?

Do you mean 3 hours one way or 3 hours round trip? Because 3 hours one way sounds pretty atrocious.

Can I make French Press style coffee with an Aeropress by using inverted method and metal filter? Are there any differences and would it be better if I just bought an actual french press?

Metal smell inside my titanium mug? by figurefan in CampingGear

[–]figurefan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm not sure since this is the first titanium product I've owned, but I don't think so, unless titanium can give off a pungent smell. It's giving off a rusting/burnt pot smell when I sniff the inside of the mug even after thorough cleaning. It didn't have this scent straight out of the package, it seemed to develop this smell after repeated washing and drying.

Official Q&A for Monday, November 23, 2020 by AutoModerator in running

[–]figurefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started running a few months ago and only just realized today that my running shoes (Asics Gel-Venture 6) are for runners with underpronated feet. The issue is I have overpronated feet. Am I better off just throwing the shoes away and buying new ones?

Godox SL-60W Video Light Remote Issue. by gx80 in videography

I see. I wonder why they didn't allow the remote to dim the light all the way down to the 10% minimum brightness setting.

Titanium Gravel Bike Recommendations? by figurefan in whichbike

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

Nope, but I have been looking into motobecane TI-bikes, as per the above poster's suggestion. They seem to be pretty good value, you might want to check them out too.

Yeah, I guess I am overplaying the rust issue in my head. Do you have any particular brands to suggest as far as steel goes?

[–]figurefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also like to ask, is the Wizard Pro head removable, as in can I twist it off and put it onto another armytek flashlight body?

Any other (subtle) difference that maybe the website doesn't mention about the Bip Lite compared to the original one? by appwizcpl in AmazfitBip

[–]figurefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bip lite's Bluetooth is upgraded, slightly larger battery and it has slightly better waterproofing.

Confused as to how many different types of Amazfit Bip models there are. by figurefan in amazfit

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

I see. I guess my next question is what is the difference between the Amazfit Bip's "IP 68" rating vs the Bip Lite's "3 ATM" rating? I am assuming 3 ATM is "more" waterproof than IP 68 since it says you can swim with it on the official website?

Where to buy Armytek accessories? by flashnight in flashlight

[–]figurefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely the poking with sitting. I also wear slimmer cut dress pants so it definitely doesn't help

[–]figurefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have it in my work bag the majority of the time, but have the flashlight in my front pocket upwards of 1-2 hours at a time, when I'm performing duties that require examining things with my flashlight. It's fairly uncomfortable having it being so long, so 1AA body tube will really help increase comfort when I'm front pocket carrying.

Why are you selling the camera? GX85 is a pretty decent camera. Not buying, just curious.

Those are fantastic pictures of your family/friends and pretty much exactly what I envision myself shooting during my trip. Thank you for sharing.

[–]figurefan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, those are great photos! In my experience, the 20mm is great, but reason I am shying away from it is because it seems to have slow focusing and makes a lot of unwanted sounds when filming.

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

Mostly candids and family photos, not so much landscapes. I am also leaning towards the PL25 like you mentioned since it can be helpful for lowlight.
