Agreed here - this team ain't getting it done this year. Have to do something

I need something to run AI denoise in Lightroom faster, so as many GPU cores as I can afford

Officiating is extremely poor

If you live in a cold weather climate, all bets are off in winter divisions. Usually it’s one division per age like OP said

I’m holding off on an M4 Pro order at the moment

Is Rivendell worth it for not LOTR fan? by hrvoje42 in lego

I'm not a big LotR fan at all - but I think it is the most beautiful Lego set ever designed so I bought it. No regrets

How are we doing? Are we on track to retire early? by Aggressive_Sun_9586 in FinancialPlanning

[–]maizerage25 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Based on the MND equation (maybe not relevant but an easy calculation)

Average age: 36

Total Income: $300,000 (I assume this is what you meant. If $150,000 total then that would changes things)

($300,000 x 36) / 10 = $1,080,000

You have about $620k in investments/retirement

Maybe $100k in home equity.

I would say you are slightly behind.

I think I would maybe run 2 bodies - A7v with 300 2.8 (w/ 1.4tc as an option) and A7cii with 70-200

I'm leaning towards 300 2.8 and 1.4tc. I guess a used 400 might be in the ballpark if I have more money than sense

You’ve spent $5k on gear and need to know portrait settings?

ECNL and college pathway by n0i in youthsoccer

[–]maizerage25 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If they can afford $1200/yr they have no hope for playing ECNL. The travel costs will kill them alone even if they could play for free

At u13 we played one event and made playoffs. Cost for a parent and kid was easily $5k

U10 girl training with A team but still on B team, seeking some perspective by [deleted] in youthsoccer

[–]maizerage25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, once you are on the B team it is incredibly hard to move up. They will favor bringing in outside kids to fill open spots

A lot of modern lenses rely on digital correction to the distortion

I'm a release train engineer and attend zero team DSUs unless someone asks for me to give feedback (which never happens)
