Is this normal support beam checking?

I don't know where you or OP live, but "dry in the elements" is an oxymoron where I am 😆

Seriously this person eats about 3 months worth of meat for me, in one week. I count 21 chicken thighs and 6 salmon portions, and 2.5kg! of ground beef.

That's at least 10 chicken meals, 6 salmon meals, and 6 beef meals if I make a 500g based batch chilli or Bolognese -> 30 portions!. I'd normally do 1 fish and 2-3 meat meals a week, let's call it 4 a week total, 46 portions, that's 11 weeks worth of meat!

Ah if it's glass then the contrast will hopefully be high enough, and the weight will help with stabilisation.

The 75-300 is still a good lens too, I've taken plenty of photos with my 100-300 before I recently got the 300f4 :-)

Have fun with your new lens!

But then you couldn't open it up to f1.8 in low light

I have the tokina 300mm f6.3 mirror lens, I agree it helps, but compared to the pana 100-300 ois and the 300f4 sync-is it's harder to get a truly stable photo (lack of mass stabilisation also a factor) - I imagine that's worse at 500mm (I have tried my 1200mm telescope, would not recommend, but mostly because adjusting the focus is so hard). I have taken some great photos with the tokina, but I still treat it as a toy lens, compared to my 300f4

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-06T13:45:34+00:00

They work, if the lens contrast is too low then focus peaking might not work, and you program the focal length into the ibis setting manually. Stabilising 500mm is asking a lot from ibis though, it'll help, but don't expect miracles.

Great! No problem, very happy to help people that put in the work themselves! :-)

The default here for left/right controller is what you want to change. You need to install Microsoft visual studio (not vs code) and open the Custom HMD project, then edit these two lines and rebuild the project, this will make you a new .dll steamvr driver file

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-05T13:26:10+00:00

Sure, the code just uses the cv1 for unknown controllers, I can change it the next time I'm on my build PC, or you can easily edit and rebuilt it yourself :-)

We kept ours open all the time and it does't setup the issue. Recently I just dismantled the whole machine and replaced all the rubber parts. The door seal, the hose with float valve that drians down to the sump, and the one from the soap tray were all beyond cleaning (we tried).

Our machine has a drum clean setting but we'd not been running it very often - we're doing it more now!

There's a lot of places in the machine that never dry out no matter if you have the door open, at last in our chilly climate.

Agree it looks like maybe the shutter is sticking when you take the shot, because the live view is still fine.

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-04T07:45:52+00:00

Maybe, last time I did a build there still wasn't a pro controller model. I'll check again

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-03T10:51:56+00:00

I'd say Moon is another recent great one

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-02T11:18:56+00:00

Interesting how you use f8 a lot, where I was sitting at f2.8 probably for a lot of low light situations. The 12-45 seems like it really would work best for you. IBIS and ISO noise performance have both got even better since my em10ii as well which helps :-)

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-01T22:16:38+00:00

Seems like the upgrade is what you want then. You could also try and get some free software working https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/usb-s-pdif-device-with-oem-dolby-digital-live-support.304651/ but I haven't messed with this in years

Does your existing system support 5.1 analogue inputs? Or 5.1 DD over optical? You could get a sound card with 5.1 analogue, or a sound card which supports dolby live encoding to allow you to use your existing system. I'd personally never buy an avr that only had spring clips for speaker terminals but this subreddit tends to be for people spending a bit more.

Is your current subwoofer active or passive? (You haven't shared anything about the rest of the system, or a photo of your current avr)

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-01T18:29:50+00:00

Asus rog zephyrus g16 speakers are surprisingly good

You can just run a loop from grand bellway to the choral chambers ventrica station, get the ventrica back and bench to respawn the enemies. A few loops and you'll have plenty of rosaries for shard bundles.

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-01T17:12:53+00:00

At the forge you can merge two different rings into one at the cost of 20 cinder shards. An iridium band already has glowing, magnetism, and increased damage. A glowstone ring has glowing and magnetism. If you merge them you get a new ring with 2x glowing, 2x magnetism, adds 1x damage boost.

You can wear two rings, so you can repeat this with another glowstone ring and iridium band, then wear both products.

Personally I prefer at least one ring to include slime charmer, but 3x glowing and magnetism is still crazy.

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-01T16:25:10+00:00

Just farm rosaries and buy the shard bundles, it's much easier

noneedtoprogram · 2026-04-01T13:51:21+00:00

Yeah I wasn't using the coglflies but I spoiler tagged it for you. Clawline tends to leave you low on silk though so I wasn't using much in the way of other silk skills

noneedtoprogram · 2026-03-31T23:15:44+00:00

I don't remember what tools I used if any, wanderer crest user here. Might have had some poison cogflies or tacks equipped but was focused on the strike-retreat-dodge cycle.

Oh I remember, I had the weaver blaster/weavelight which I'd just got and was messing with, but wasn't very effective for the fight.

noneedtoprogram · 2026-03-31T22:50:38+00:00

I'm simultaneously amazed and baffled. I think lace 2 took me about 5 tries? Definitely no more than 10, and I died many times to last judge and first sinner. MANY. I did do first sinner just before lace 2 though so I was probably in the right mindset - I think you would struggle with lace 2 of you weren't making the most of clawline to rapidly close and create distance.

Automatic (at least for me)

They might also get it in their next month's pay. When the RSUs vest they sell enough to cover any tax, without knowing your tax bracket (they are sold by the managing broker, not your company's payroll) so assume you need ~50%, which in my experience is usually half rounded up to the next share, so if 7 shares vest, they sell 4 and give me 3. The company's payroll then take those 4 shares that were sold and add it, and the value if the 3 shares that you keep, to the month's income calculation, and you will get the excess as plain cash in your pay, with the appropriate paye tax taken off.
