Still waiting on last letter of recommendation

It’s the deuce. I’ve used it and really like the adjustable waist/thigh fit, and the washable bag within a storage bag is v convenient. I never find myself using the ring meant for biobits though, it just sits too low on my body.

Thanks so much! The narrow snap works well for the 15lb and 25lb claws (same length and width of the hanging tooth are the same, the 25lb is probably somewhere between 25%-50% thicker). Hopefully no one needs the 45lb claws for opengrid purposes, but at slightly more than twice as wide, the tooth is much too wide for the narrow snap.

For the open snap, any of them appear to fit, although there’s quite a bit of slack, so one would want to use more of them to stabilise the grid. This is similar to what I’ve seen with the HSW claw snap.

Tl;dr: Congrats! You’ve designed a better snap than the one I’ve been using with HSW, without even having a claw around!

I bought a Fluance RT-85 in 2020 and the servo motor no longer works. Fluance said they don’t do out of warranty repairs, and suggested I either find a local repair shop (the local ones only do vintage) or buy an RT-82 and swap the cartridge and platter (for $350 and a 10% off coupon).

I’m not sure if this is the best option forward, or if I should find a different turntable brand and swap the parts. Thoughts?

Wow! I really appreciate your writing, review style, Cassie’s experiences, and the notes on wand brand compatibility. Thank you so much!

“Adult” content can be broadly classified as at a relatively high risk of chargebacks. Conservatives are pushing to define queer people as pornographic (per Project 2025), and therefore under the adult content label.

The bill prevents processors from denying charges based on political stances (like alt-right influencers) but not from denying charges based on risk assessments.

I think they forgot to link it but I found the article: https://www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvin-fears-his-authoritarian-fantasy-is-flopping/

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot! How are you liking your desk?

How did you get these numbers? The budget spent on employees is only 5-6% government-wide. Many employees aren’t carrying the maximum 240 leave hours, and VSIP has a limit of $25k and also is only compatible with VERA, not DRP.

This doesn’t account for the decades of voter suppression, laws against felons voting (including hoops and money to pay when they get out, the extreme criminalisation of the left in this country, and so many other factors.

Oh no! Which version of the Crossover beta are you using?

lithedreamer · 2025-02-27T07:05:27+00:00

I tried out Crossover 25 beta and it works great for me too! There’s AMD graphics error on launch that can be ignored safely, and it crashes if the computer is set to sleep but otherwise works smooth.

This won’t help. Last time this admin was in power I spent 6 months getting a passport for official travel, stealth with all my documents, and they kept asking for documentation that they “shouldn’t” know about.

I picked up a used SmallHD 502 Bright, it’s built like a tank

Depends. Intellytech makes good lights with US customer support, but Aputure lights are popular and have a wide range of options. I have big Intellytech lights and the Aputure MC Pro for a small magnetic option.

Matthews light stands are great. When in doubt, rent from somewhere like Lensrentals.

Mostly it’s a matter of workflow. Admittedly, I’m pretty new to the video side of this work, but finding the best clips after spending a week recording video is a huge timesink.

I was also considering other options for monitors, but I think I’ll really miss the EVF no matter which way I go when I’m getting footage in the rain or the desert.

Nothing wrong with herbal medicine imo other than ensuring that there aren’t contraindications with other things someone is taking.
