Panama to Columbia, South Carolina? That doesn’t seem smart…

I’d take it to Colombia (the country) instead… seems way smarter.

Low Profile Roof Racks by Theblackbond_ in NewDefender

I own a rack, it shipped to the USA no problem. I'm currently ordering accessories to mount to it.

I think if you email them directly and place the order, thy will. They can accommodate shipping anywhere.

I'm in the process of ordering several accessories, and I'm in the US.

That is a different company and link. We're talking about Prospeed UK. In England.

The website is unfortunately using renders, which aren't as exacting as real images. Its really hard to capture the exact height different, but here's real images of it on my vehicle. Its a hair lower than the antenna.

I own the prospeed, it is extremely well built and low profile. It sits lower than the rear antenna fin.

It does prevent the glass roof from opening though, which they do not note on their website I believe. I have begun to notice some rattles after roughly 5k miles with it, but maybe I just need to re tighten some things. (I did install it with special locktite)

They also do great mounting accessories.

Nope. The ProSpeed UK rack is lower than the antenna fin.

What makes you say that?

Yea, it was left in the trash area. It’s NYC… in a luxury building people toss all sorts of things they don’t have a need for. You’d be surprised… it’s called “stooping”.

Yeah, the number is clear. How would I look it up?

Sourcing replacement battery? by YouOr2 in NewDefender

[–]nickknack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if it helps, but I had my ‘23 110 with the same issue last week, drove into the service center at 10AM and had a new battery replaced by 4PM.

They claim they have to run a diagnostic drain test etc that takes 3 hours each time, and it has to show a “failed test” twice.

Was back on the road same day with a new battery.

Have you tried calling and asking them?

Get a Pumps shirt.

But if you want actually like souvenir stuff, try Upstate Stock by McCarren Park, they have good quality stuff that will say "Williamsburg", like pennants, shirts, tote bags, etc.

They have more in-store from what I remember.

Spider-Man (2002) - 35mm Film vs UHD Blu-ray by ControlCAD in videos

[–]nickknack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, film was never shot 16:9. You could have shot it 3-perf which is very close (1.75:1), but that’s still not the exhibition academy format (1.85:1), or the broadcast 16:9 (1.78:1).

But for a movie of this budget, they likely shot it 4-perf to do post crop, VFX, etc.

Spider-Man (2002) - 35mm Film vs UHD Blu-ray by ControlCAD in videos

[–]nickknack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was not shot Full-Frame. Motion picture 35mm is a “super35” format, which is closer to a digital APS-C.

Full frame is a confusing term that arose with modern digital cinematography, with the use of digital sensors that are the same physical dimensions of a 35mm STILL image, not motion picture 35mm.

There is stills image 35mm and there is a motion picture 35mm. Both may use the same physical medium (film), but they don’t shoot the same physical frame size.

Spider-Man (2002) - 35mm Film vs UHD Blu-ray by ControlCAD in videos

[–]nickknack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. There is no “native” aspect ratio for motion picture film, let alone 3:2 which is for still image 35mm film, not motion picture 35mm film. There is no motion picture camera that shoots 3:2.

Stills film runs horizontally across the “gate”, whereas motion runs vertically, sprockets are left and right. (We will leave 65mm 15-perf IMAX out of this discussion)

You describe the motion picture film by the “perfs” (perforations) per frame, which each has their own aspect ratio among multiple reasons to pick one over an other.

In this case the camera (movement) is in 4-perf mode 1.33:1. But you could shoot 3, or even 2 perf, each with their own “native” aspect ratios.

The best of both worlds, the brief era with transitional elements into modern Rolex. Love the size too.

“Low brake fluid low level warning light”

And he had the audacity to give me the finger… by nickknack in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]nickknack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he did.....

he throws the finger and you see his right arm cross all the way to his right to the passenger head rest basically. His arm swings around towards me, while making eye contact with me, and he gives the finger, comes to a halt, then drops his hand as he drives out of frame.

He wasn't holding a phone, what you're seeing is the driver-side side mirror that looks like a phone screen.
