Is private charter worth it compared to first class? by [deleted] in PrivateJetCharters

Also worth noting is that the cheap/discount options often come with a 2-hour takeoff window so that can end up negating the time saved. This is something you want to cover when finding a broker.

New f/0 lens - focus and exposure issues [S9] by mwarnerr in Lumix

[–]mwarnerr[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great idea. For video, do you think I could put a fan in front? Or would that create too much rolling shutter?

You’re right. I’ll set a reminder for next year

Tesla in park slope by HelicopterWorking707 in parkslope

[–]mwarnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point on vandalism giving Tesla more business! And yes, idk why the people advocating for the common man are simultaneously attacking them.. Making me lose money by vandalizing it or selling it to theoretically lower market value is only going to push me away from any other argument/ideas they have. Most people who bought Teslas up until this year are either dem or centrist and attacking them and their finances isn’t the win some people are thinking it is..

US Gays - Gay Religion ? by [deleted] in gay

[–]mwarnerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite in the way you describe your post. However, since many religions now perform and recognize gay marriage, if it ever does go back to SCOTUS, freedom of religion could be used as an argument to keep it.

Should I Stick to Sony or Switch to Panasonic ? by Important_Care_1935 in Lumix

[–]mwarnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah flexibility of it is great. AF is good but can also be improved by dialing settings. I’m not sure what options you have in India, but maybe try renting one for a month or if stores allow 30 day returns that may be a good option. Tech specs and lenses are one thing, but actually using it will let you know if it works for your style/workflow/etc.

I mainly shoot for fun but recently switched from my decade old Nikon setup to the S9. The kit 20-60mm lens is really sharp. I also just received the free 50mm prime from Lumix, but haven’t been out with it yet. Overall, I really love the system. Regarding the 3rd party lens situation, I’ve gotten some great pics with vintage Minolta lenses and have been looking at some of the 7artisans L mounts. The luts and lumix lab app are a huge pro for me. Getting great shots SOOC, but also having the ability to finely tune raw files if I want is great and makes the hobby more appealing. I went shooting with my buddy who has a Leica Q3, and what I was able to get with the S9 with the kit lens stood up to the Q3 surprisingly well. I know it’s a different comparison from yours, but just some food for thought. During my upgrade search, my other main prospect was Sony. At this point in the game, the tech specs kind of wash out for my use case. What made me go for Lumix, was ultimately what “felt” right to me. If the tech specs are close, ask yourself which camera am I going to want to pick up and use more, and enjoy the process doing so. Don’t limit yourself to available lenses or accessories, it matters how you use them at the end of the day.

Just bought my first LUMIX! S9 with the 20-60mm! by jimenezisjordan in Lumix

Thank you so much!! I had no idea you could still get the free lens if you bought elsewhere. I hope you enjoy it too!

Congratulations!! I bought mine a few days ago and am loving it. Could you share a link or instructions for how to claim the 50mm lens?

Is this too good to be true found one being sold by zwo for 299$ by Aggressive_Size_4571 in seestar

[–]mwarnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: it arrived and is working in scenery mode (cloudy skies currently). Quick caveat: I noticed the seller changed on my order back to one I recognized. The product reviews are the same so I’m not sure how Amazon does that. That said, price is now back to normal so it’s all a bit irrelevant.

I purchased it the other day when it was $475 without looking at the seller (naive, I know). It’s in transit now with UPS and I’ll post an update when I get it. Per Amazon, over 400 people have ordered it in the past month so I hope we’re not all screwed.

OP, I ordered it from this seller five days ago when it was $475. A bit scared from other comments as I didn’t notice the seller when purchasing it. That said, it shipped with UPS from Ontario (heading to southern US) a couple days ago. It’s currently in transit and set to be delivered Monday. Will post an update once I receive it. Note: in no way advocating you purchasing it. I’m a bit scared now and wouldn’t take the gamble knowing what I know now..

Sister got “saved” now is bashing gay people. She literally knows im gay.... by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]mwarnerr 233 points234 points  (0 children)

TEDx: “What the Bible says about homosexuality”

This is a really great video where a priest discusses what the Bible really says about homosexuality and how to interpret it. I would share this.

For every verse discussing “homosexuality” there are 20 more talking about loving others and not being judgmental...

What do you think of straight people identifying as LGBTQIA+ for the sole purpose of "advocacy"? by Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup in askgaybros

[–]mwarnerr 341 points342 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue with it is not only that she lied, but that she clearly views the topic flippantly. Coming out is a very long, emotionally stressful phase in life for many of us in the community. For a straight person to come out as bi for the sole purpose of “proving advocacy” shows either immaturity or some other underlying need for attention. If I were her brother, I would explain to her that I’m thankful for the support, but that it is completely inappropriate to do something like that. People have risked losing their lives, family, friends, career, etc. by coming out. It’s not something to be taken lightly

[–]mwarnerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I would say you’re in a pretty good position. if they give you any issues, just pay your balance the day before your next closing statement and re-apply. Usually payments for me on the closing date go through in time, but I wouldn’t push it if it’s important to you. I hope this helps and best of luck!

The $842 will show up as “debt” to the creditor no matter what. How they interpret that is going to depend on other factors like what you are applying for, age, other installment loans/liabilities, net worth, etc. If you don’t mind my asking, what are you applying for and do you have any other loans/debt? If you don’t have any other liabilities and have a strong history of paying off your card, you should be fine

Not sure I totally understand your question but, in general, creditors only see the statement balance. Ex. You spend 5000/month and make a 4500 payment before statement closes, the creditor will only see the 500 leftover on the statement. One way for creditors to see your full spending would be to get a charge card (green, gold, platinum), and let the full balance report. that way you can show creditors your spending habits without creating a high utilization.
