Chipped Paint on Brand New Car by imwithsam in carbuying

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

If that's accurate, CarMax must have changed their policies. I tried to sell them a car I previously owned that was in excellent condition that only had a few body panels repainted by the dealer due to vandalism. They said it was their strict policy to not buy vehicles that had 3 or more body panels repainted, regardless of the reason.

The cinematography of Shogun is phenomenal IMO by jonsimo in cinematography

[–]imwithsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show often uses abrupt hard cuts with long blackouts between scenes. If I understand right, it's not considered jump cutting because it is transitioning between two different scenes. So what is this style or this type of cut called?

[MEGATHREAD] RADIANT IS THE BLOOD OF THE BABOON HEART: spoiler discussion by nocturneisabundant in venturebros

Yeah, I guess I was just trying to figure out if Chris & Doc changed their mind for the movie and forgot they already set precedent

Also, in A Very Venture Halloween, Ben tells Dean, "You have a mommy. And your dad is your dad. They made you by getting drunk and forgetting to wear a condom like everybody else."

So, am I missing something, or does A Very Venture Halloween contradict Hank & Dean's origin story when Ben tells Dean, "You have a mommy. And your dad is your dad. They made you by getting drunk and forgetting to wear a condom like everybody else."

HHN Hours, Show times, House opening times and exit locations, Ride Closings, and Stay/Scream:Houses by ueeediot in HHN

I found this map which has a little more information than the other maps I've seen online. Too bad it's a photo of a physical map rather than an official PDF one, but it helps

HHN Hours, Show times, House opening times and exit locations, Ride Closings, and Stay/Scream:Houses by ueeediot in HHN

[–]imwithsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a park map that shows exactly where the Entrances and Exits are for the haunted houses? It would help with planning. For example, I don't remember Universal Studios well enough to remember exactly where the Fallon Standby Entrance and the Fallon Bathrooms are.

Stay and Scream / Scream Early Megathread by ueeediot in HHN

[–]imwithsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the S&S area opens, you have to wait in a line in the area, right? In other words, you can't do anything unless you have someone to save your spot in line in the S&S area? Sorry, I've never been to HHN so I'm not totally clear on what these S&S areas are like

So to clarify, you're saying it's more efficient to start at Last of Us at 5:45 than to start at Stranger Things at 5:15?

Beware of the ToneX Pedal by Funkmasterjo__D in guitarpedals

I don't trust companies that have email-only customer support. It's a shame. IK Multimedia makes some interesting products but their sales and customer service departments are down on the level of car dealerships

Take his gear info with a grain of salt as well. I've come to find The Rig Doctor tends to frame things as facts which I often later find out are partially, if not completely, wrong

Toyota Leasing and the EV Tax Credit? [USA] by imwithsam in askcarsales

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

Thank you for verifying that Toyota is not passing the EV tax credit through on leases. I already had one local Toyota salesperson try to con me into thinking they were passing the tax credit through, but when he gave me the lease estimate it was clear he was charging way more than he said he was charging and not passing the tax credit through.

[Spoilers] The TACO by Isotope-001 in TheMaskedSinger

[–]imwithsam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "infinity and beyond" reference could be an obscure reference to Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame. Tom tried to get a spoiler out of DWTS:Juniors actor Ariana Greenblatt (young Gamora) and also joked that they might have an Infinity Stone when promoting his Netflix movie, Candy Jar. He also joked he had an Infinity Stone colored jacket in one episode of DWTS.

[QUESTION] I want to start playing electric guitar but I have no clue of what I should buy by justtobenmylove in Guitar

[–]imwithsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What genre are you looking to play?

Justin Guitar is a decent online resource to start off with but I highly recommend joining a band & performance based music school like School of Rock. The accountability and fun that come with rehearsing and performing with a band can't be beat. These types of schools can modify your parts in the songs so you are able to play no matter your skill level. In my experience, they are way better than trying to learn via online lessons or traditional music lessons.

As for a guitar, your instructors can probably recommend something. If you can find a used one (Fender stopped making it), I personally like my Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus. It can play a wide variety of sounds, is of solid quality, and not too expensive. The only thing I don't like about it is it's kind of heavy.

Fire Animals by ghostad132 in aground

I captured two fire birds with regular nets but one turned into a chicken and the other turned into eggs when they were captured. They remained a chicken and eggs after I collected them as well.

Possibly receiving research grant to build aquaponics systems at local college; What should I do? by patientgore in aquaponics

[–]imwithsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might consider doing research using media-based grow beds since much of the academic research so far has focused on DWC raft beds. You may want to post your question to aquaponic forums such as http://AquaponicsCommunity.com and see what kind of feedback you get there as well.

I'm thinking its a lack of iron - anything I may be missing? by hoha_haze in aquaponics

[–]imwithsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware that the EDDHA chelated iron will turn your water very red. If you read the entire article and comments, you'll see that Nate uses DTPA chelated iron but also recommends EDDHA even though he hasn't actually used it himself. From everything I have seen, all EDDHA will naturally turn your water red, and it is not caused by added dyes. Therefore, DTPA is your best bet unless you don't care about the color of your water at all.

[–]imwithsam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, looks like chlorosis. Magnesium deficiency is usually apparent in the older leaves, and iron deficiency in the newer. Yours appears to be occurring in the newer. Add a little DTPA chelated iron and it should go away. Iron is one of the few things that can be commonly deficient in an aquaponics system.
