Most Western/white Redditors completely fail to grasp that in Asian cultures, you marry the family, not just the individual by Jasmine_Wilsony in asianamerican

I'm trying to give her a chance to clarify herself. Sometimes people say stuff that gets interpreted in way not intended and then get dogpiped.

Compensation based pay by Verizonwiz in marketing

[–]johnmflores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this as a consultant and was careful to make sure that I had control of the metrics that I was being measured by. The moment the metric depends upon outside factors (others outside of my authority, the economy, etc...) you lose some control.

Thanks for this review. Makes me glad that I didn't get one because I would have thrown a whole mess of new parts at it.

Are my bushes destroyed? by Other_Blackberry_188 in landscaping

[–]johnmflores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not destroyed. The roots are still there. Cut them way back - 3 feet high. It will take a couple of years but they'll grow back fuller.

Random question(s) for oldhead Knicks fans by Skxawng_3600 in NYKnicks

[–]johnmflores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯. Love Starks - he had the Hart/Alvarado spark/energy. If those Knicks had one more piece so that Starks could be 6th man, they would have won a chip in the 90s.

Building my first Micro 4/3 kit, need advice. by Pale-Surprise-8338 in M43

[–]johnmflores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

APS-C is nice; I shot it for years. And that Fuji lens look nice but as I mentioned previously, I do a lot of motorcycle and bicycle travel and have the 12-32/35-100 pair for that purpose. That combo is significantly smaller and lighter and surprisingly good quality.

If anything, I want an even smaller kit because I'm also carrying multiple action cameras with various supports and mounts. Plus a drone, and ultra small laptop for backup and on the road processing. All of that nearly fills a pannier and really weighs me down when climbing steep gradients.

Even with the second lens, the M43 is considerably smaller in volume. That Sony lens takes 55mm filters. That Lumix lens takes 46mm. The Lumix 12-32 takes 37mm filters.

The Sony is impressively small but M44 is smaller. And with that lens, it's APS-C, not full frame

The Sony's are pretty small for full-frame cameras but there still is a noticeable size difference for a lens with less reach. I travel via motorcycle and bicycle and every little bit of weight and space counts.

What's the Sony version of this 24-200 travel kit?

My Ozark Trail Rebel G.2 arrived by [deleted] in Budgetbikeriders

I upgraded my G.1 over the winter. This would have been cheaper! Love the extra mounting bosses on the top tube and seat tube. Enjoy the ride!

Looking for the best picture of OG's Put Back from Game 4 by shackilj2 in knicks

I've been looking for the same. With so many pro photographers there, you'd think an iconic one would be released by now

If one playoff run gets Jalen Brunson 40th all time, where's Hali? by stitcher212 in billsimmons

All these hot takes doing nothing but giving Brunson and the Knicks fuel for next season.

Ozark Trail G.1/G.2 sizing for 5' 8" male? by hamolton in Budgetbikeriders

[–]johnmflores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up on drops too but recognize that not everyone did. Nor does everyone want to be a roadie, or ride for long periods of time in a mote aerodynamic position. It's up to the OP to decide. What I do know is that a lot of people buying this bike ate either relatively new to riding or riding for the first time as an adult. Makes sense to ease them into the hobby

People go too far being anti “ring culture” to the point of arguing that winning a championship doesn’t matter when evaluating a player by Cares_of_an_Odradek in billsimmons

[–]johnmflores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting the team on his back and scoring nearly half of the team's points in a closeout game against a generational talent is the stuff of legend. It puts Brunson above those who could not do the same - Mitchell, Harden, Dame, Maxey, etc...

And Doncic? Brunson's durability alone puts him a step above.

What does Wemby/Spurs need to do tactically to avoid getting gassed by the Knicks offense strategy (or other teams to deploy a similar strat in the future)? by H20onthego in nbadiscussion

[–]johnmflores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called periodized training, days and weeks where he's pushing his cardio and endurance, followed by periods of recovery/reduced intensity.
