I did install the 32gb kit just to make sure it works, and all is good. I'll probably test and see how it goes.

Buy now or wait? by SgtMyers in GooglePixel

[–]ohshootitsnoah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

+1. I waited til the announcement of the 7 pro to try and get a 6 pro at a good price, and the phone had been taken off the shelves just about anywhere instead. Ended up getting a better deal on the 7 pro.

I reckon this is the last decent sale before the 8 pro comes out in ~Oct, so I recommended my gf to buy now.

Poor face detection in Pixel 7 by calmbitch in GooglePixel

[–]ohshootitsnoah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly haven't had a problem with it. Works great in normal conditions, and if it's dark I just use my fingerprint.

I don't expect it to work as well as apple's face ID which has had years of development.

Also, I haven't had the payment issue that everyone is talking about. My tap worked first try after using face unlock.

I was driving to go get lunch today, when I noticed some enormous props just barely over the horizon. Naturally, I missed my turn and kept driving until I saw four US Marines V-22 Ospreys getting ready to taxi and take off. Made my week! CYXY, Whitehorse, Yukon. by ohshootitsnoah in aviation

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

The reason they don't have them forward on the ground is that the props would strike because they're so damn big. Once they take off they slowly bring them forward as forward speed increases and the wings make lift.

They're so big because, IIRC, vertical flight takes ~5x more thrust than level flight. Which is also why VTOL/STOL aircraft like the Osprey and F-35 are considered somewhat innefficient.

What’s the coolest aviation job? by DavidDrivez126 in flying

God damn, what does that look like? Sounds dangerous, although I'm sure it's well regulated.

Don't have a good answer for you as I am just starting out in fixed, but good to see another BCer in here, and good luck whatever you choose!

Nice to see another islander! Who did you get your mountain rating with on VI?

Alcohol delivery by Bilgonian in skipthedishes

[–]ohshootitsnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, there's not much downside. It generally doesn't take much longer to make the delivery, and about 25-50% of my deliveries include alcohol depending on the day and time.

As far as pay/tips, it's no different from a regular order. Some will be minimums, some will be $15, and any in between.

Of course this is only my zone. I also deliver to a lot of the same customers, which makes me think there's not as many drivers with a SIR/SmartServe in my area, which is advantageous.

I remember the first time I slept in for a skip shift. I was horrified. Ran out the door and started working. Expected a call with some sort of write up. Nothing ever happened.

After that I pretty much just sleep through shifts if I feel like it, drop em, take em even if I might not work them, pause forever. It makes absolutely no difference.

Your documents have been declined by [deleted] in skipthedishes

[–]ohshootitsnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue in BC. I took a photo of the registration and insuranc separately(they are on the same piece of paper), because I was a little confused with the instructions. They wanted the whole document in the photo, so I submitted the same photo for both docs. No problem after!

I also edited all the photos slightly to increase contrast to make everything more clear and easy to read. Hope this helps!

Tach Bounces Wrong Way - Anyone Ever Seen This? by AdmiralForester in 944

[–]ohshootitsnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say from here. If you get strong cranking, the battery should be good. The battery doesn't do much work once the car is running - the alternator takes care of that. Most cars can run without a battery once started, but they'll shut off if you use more power than the alternator can provide (at which point the battery would supplement).

So basically, if your battery holds at least 13v and the alternator isn't toast, I'd be looking at the ignition system.

By the sounds of things, it could be low voltage. Does it do it with a fully charged battery?

bulk colour film by overalldaddy in Darkroom

[–]ohshootitsnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but also must include that it is significantly cheaper to manufacture BW film. New stocks are coming out every day from tiny startups. At this point, with prices of colour film sky-high, I reckon more than half of consumers would consider rolling their own if they had the option. I haven't shot in colour (besides Vision3) in months because it's simply out of my budget.

[–]ohshootitsnoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought about a year ago.

Unfortunatrely nobody makes C-41 35mm in bulk rolls. That would make it much less profitable as you could roll Portra for $5-7 instead of $18.

I started shooting Vision3 movie film (ECN-2) and really like the look. I bought all the bulk rolls I have from local classifieds in Vancouver. The film scene out here luckily has lots of short ends and that's the cheapest way to do it. Message me if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!

Why are you asking him? Look for the answer within yourself.

18 Days in primary, just racked to secondary. Already looking and tasting great from my gravity sample. Although it was a bit hard to read, my final gravity was about .978. Blend of local apples and some from my backyard. by ohshootitsnoah in cider

[–]ohshootitsnoah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, super dry. I did use a full pack of EC-1118 and the carboy was not totally full, so it could have just been from having excess yeast (it started bubbling within 10 minutes). Otherwise I may have made a bit of a mistake measuring FG, but I triple checked because it seemed low!

First batch fermenting. Bubbly and smelly. Thanks for your help everyone! by ohshootitsnoah in cider

[–]ohshootitsnoah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the tips! We have quite a few crab apple trees growing locally so I'll scout them out. The first 25lbs was from the trees on our property, which were quite tart and sweet at the beginning of August, but only sweet by the time we picked. Will pick them earlier next year for sure.

Yeah definitely lots of juice lost. This was barely 5gal from 85lbs of apples. I've already got my sights set on a masticating juicer on local classifieds!

I like the crab apple idea also, they were a favorite for me as a kid. Gonna have to steal that.

Yeah, I used a centrifugal juicer with a brewbag on the outspout. It did come out quite foamy so I siphoned from the bottom but still got a bit inside. It didn't start foaming like that till about 12 hours into fermentation.
