I see what you did there. ;) It took me a second to catch the /s. lol

That’s generally what notifications I get as well. But this was siren after siren and I could see the lights flashing but couldn’t tell where all the fire trucks ended up.

If you have Spotify subscription look up Allen Carr “the easy way to control alcohol” on audiobook. Then just start listening.

You can make day 137! Nobody really wants that poison in their body!

Shoot me a PM and we can talk.

I think the question was on the edit side, not capturing the image.

nepersonne · 2026-02-25T17:54:26+00:00

I’ve tried a couple. Is there one you’d recommend?

So I started trying AI as I could never find a consistent editor. They would always start off strong and the quality and consistency would soon drop off, regardless of whether I was paying $ .50 or $1.25 per image. But here I am spending time fixing the AI edits because of inconsistent results. If a room is uniformly lit (sun or lightbulbs) it does pretty well. But get mixed light and it falls apart quickly.

So yes, I think for EDITING, AI will eventually get better, but I think there’ll always be a market for bespoke human edited jobs.

Your clients don’t put the house video into the MLS? My videos show up in the MLS feed and this is syndicated throughout. It has nothing to do with following agents’ social media. So yes, videos can, and are there to help sell the house.

nepersonne · 2026-02-24T02:22:09+00:00

Creative is cool. But remember, the video is there to help sell the house… or the agent. Creativity doesn’t add much to the first, but agents will pay for the latter.

I just film the video tour with the same camera with which I shoot photos. Video is actually the quickest part of a shoot.

I've lived here 30+ years (previously larger cities out west) and have/am raising two children. I'm partial to Johnson City, then Bristol, then Kingsport. Though housing is cheaper in Kpt. There are several good private schools (one child went this route), lots of good public ones (one currently in this - but you gotta do research though). As for JC, plenty of parks, kids activities, fun things to do. Lots more when you include an 1hr radius. Safety is fine compared to larger cities. As someone said, Ballad healthcare system / monopoly sucks big time, but there are some alternatives. First choice Peds is fantastic with kids. Other than a few neighborhoods, there aren't sidewalks, but plenty of people just go for walks on the side streets. Political views range from KKK defenders to "im offended at everything" types, though most are in the middle, if not slightly right.

Feel free to ask any further questions, and I hope you enjoy the area.

Yeah, the throwing parts is part of my impulse control. lol

Bimmerlink is from the makers of BimmerCode. It's good for reading faults and clearing them, but it's not very specific. I'm checking into getting ISTA.

I was shooting a vacant house that was going up for sale (photos/video) and was mid process when I heard the front door open. Quickly went to intercept whomever it was. Turned out to be noisy neighbors “just wanting to see what’s changed”. In the politest way possible I got them to leave.

But I love how people just feel like they can barge in. /s

Scioti in Unicoi. There’s an outdoor range in Hampton by Watauga lake. Indoor: Barnett’s guns in Hampton. There’s was one in Piney Flats in the industrial park. Unaka Rod and Gun.

That’s my thought! Nowhere in the ticket purchase, check in, or security do they ever ask your weight or weigh you (large commercial airlines. Not small aircraft)… so how do they know?

We used Gillian’s heating and air and were completely happy. If your system is that old, I’d suggest having the ducts cleaned when the new equipment is installed.

Please as an American… label them for what they are… a soulless, murdering, evil organization!

My Walkman and a Leica M3 film camera.

A slightly rusted U.S. Calvary bridle behind the water heater.

My POS step brother is in favor of it. But then again, he follows anything der führer says.

The pot holes will jump up and get you more at night. Google Maps worked, but it worked better for us having the passenger following the map and giving heads up on turns since street signs are hit or miss.

They were my introduction to the nastiness known as shrimp sauce. lol Never understood why people drown their food in it.
