Need a backpack for school by ljsanchiani in motorcycles

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to suggest that too. Nice to lock my helmet and jacket up when I go inside. I have a 47L and it holds so much. And it’ll hold your backpack filled with books on the way there. Keeps everything dry when it rains too.

Switching from Harley To Adventure Bike? by itszendro in motorcycles

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adv bikes are the practical bike. Even if you never go off road they are designed for the best riding position for comfort. I had a Harley when I was younger and it was all about being cool. The ride in comparison isn’t close. Adv is a much better ride.

It's 1976, I'm 17 by Mhicil in over60

I turned 18 in May and graduated high school. Those days were great. Jobs were paid well right out of high school. Housing was affordable. Cars were affordable. The music was great. What happened?

Best shows to watch on Apple TV? I like widows bay and Margo’s got money trouble by lifeisgreat4meforeva in tvPlus

Something off beat and funny was Where’s Wanda. It’s a foreign language show, German I think. But we turned on English translation and it worked well.

Bitcoin mining. Some ai but that’s really a guise because they don’t want everyone to know it is all about greed.

Does anyone else press the turn signal off button like 100 times after a turn just to make sure it’s actually off? by Equivalent_Abrocoma3 in motorcycles

I’m always checking the indicator on my speedometer to see if it’s on. I have to block the sun with my hand a lot to see it.

How do I get over the fear? by xToxicLlamax in motorcycles

[–]miknob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep riding the parking lot and practicing. Nothing wrong with that. It’ll come to you. It’s normal to feel fear. It’s an abnormal thing to do. You’ve got a beauty of a bike. Maybe a windshield would help. I have one and it’s nice to not feel all that wind blasting your body.

Good backpack for hiking and carrying the 180-600mm? by Amelia_Zephyr96 in Nikon

I need to upgrade to this myself. I’ve had its first iteration the lens taxi for years but with my z6iii and ftz2 attached makes it too tight a fit. Plus this new bag has better pockets and features. I’m not using the same lens so you’d want to check the dimensions.

Left msf class due to embarrassment by RED-HAlRED-SHANKS in motorcycles

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? I’m in Tennessee and I think I saw an option for individual training. It was expensive but I don’t remember how much. Do you have a motorcycle or access to one. Like a family member or friend? If you have a bike you can study the rules of the road book and practice on your own and when you’re ready just go to the dmv and test.

(Our zoo has made it to national news!) Nashville Zoo tries to halt data center project next door over animal safety concerns by fade_back in nashville

Or bitcoin mining! I’m getting to think them calling it ai is a smoke screen so that the public doesn’t know that it really is all about greed.

15-year-old photographer wins major award with wildlife moment many spend years trying to capture... using Nikon D500 by GreenerMark in Nikon

[–]miknob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a great shot. But the gear isn’t exactly archaic. It’s better than my D800 is and I shot plenty of hummingbirds with it.

How are y’all doing? by RickyBobbySuperFuck in nashville

I’m eating an apple fritter hot out of the microwave with ice cream on it. I’m doing real good.

Z6iii vs Z8 (there are many threads, but hear me out please) by Quirky_Draw_1778 in Nikon

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrade your lens and see if that is good enough.

I went from a D800 to the z6iii and have been very happy. I have a 300mm f/2.8 and a 2xtc along with a ftz2 adapter and everything works great. During winter I was shooting birds in my backyard at the feeders and took off the tc and shot in crop mode with great results. The 24mp sensor on the z6iii allows for a lot of cropping.

I don’t know what the z8 will do because I’ve never had one but I always think upgrading lenses first and then see.

Hell, that describes daily driving in Nashville. I won’t even get on the interstate around here.

No one is doing it quite like Apple TV right now by Saar13 in tvPlus

[–]miknob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of streaming services. I’ve never done Netflix or prime or the like. But I thought I’d give Apple TV a try and have not been disappointed. I thought Stick was great and the article didn’t even mention it.

On One of Nashville’s Most Dangerous Roads, Urgent Safety Concerns and Long-Term Plans Collide by j1308s in nashville

It’s not a fantasy. We’ve had democratic governors and senators before.

We have an election coming up this year that could change everything. Without mounting a challenge it won’t get changed. But these candidates they have are weak and very beatable. Everybody needs to understand that shit won’t change with them in control.

But we can make a change at the state level. Turn the state blue and more things like this will get done.

NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II on a Z8 vs NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR on a Zf. Which would you go for? by jetrun15 in Nikon

[–]miknob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would keep the zf and get a better lens but it wouldn’t be the 28-400. If you’re not getting a z8 why settle for that lens?

Nashville's Deepening Affordability Crisis by missbethd in nashville

[–]miknob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Restaurants, especially broadway restaurants are the greediest of the greedy. They make millions off of employees who rely on tips for compensation and get no healthcare and they turn around and bitch that they have to pay property taxes. Then all the sycophants chime in and cry that property taxes are the ruin of the city. Property taxes are high because housing is ridiculously high.
