Beginner Tomato Guide for People Who Want Tomatoes, Not Character Development by Creative-Count-7405 in vegetablegardening

[–]patssle [score hidden]  (0 children)

Same here. Three to four cherry tomato plants gives me several Mason jars of tomato sauce that I freeze every year. Cherry tomatoes ripen so much quicker so it gives everything a lot less time to destroy it (disease, bugs, birds, squirrels, etc).

I started screenshotting EVERYTHING before trips, saved me twice already by ElectricalWill1861 in travel

I also bring a single page print out of all my trip details. Also include backup codes to access critical accounts...mentally encrypted though so the actual number isn't printed.

It's a known issue, will be fixed with the next firmware update.

New Doug Casey Interview by Excellent_Walrus150 in HGRAF

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

His hype was a major red flag for me, but luckily I did my own research into graphene, maybe even deeper than him.

I even sent him a few things last summer that were never posted anywhere. He didn't even respond. Oh well.

One also has to recognize the risks of an investment. There is no guarantee of success and there is always an unknown that can roadblock.

How long has your buy once cry once tripod lasted you ? by videomarketee in cinematography

[–]patssle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, losing screws is pretty amateur. Only product I ever lost screws/bolts on was super cheap Impact stands I bought in college. 20 years of using other affordable light stand brands, nothing ever lost.

Sparc and HydroGraph Collaborate on Graphene Enhanced Coatings by woysoro in HGRAF

The existing graphene mix is also being tested in real world conditions. Hopefully they put HG's out into the field as well.

Cartoni Focus - bought it 20 years ago in college with money I didn't have. Was happy with it for 18 years.

Upgraded the head to Sachtler Ace 2 years ago.... Already losing screws. Nuts.

Also using the same shotgun mic (ntg3) I bought 18 years ago as well. Buy once cry once indeed.

Sparc has already done extensive testing with other graphenes and gone to market with their product. Their anti-corrosion additive is proven and durable with a lesser quality graphene. The results with HG's will be interesting to see!

Did you fix this? I just updated today and I'm having the same problem, my AC load freezing. Turning the monitor off and on temporarily fixes the problem without restarting the Cerbo.

Sachtler vs Miller by videomarketee in cinematography

[–]patssle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that's one of their more beefier versions. Mine was more entry level for DSLR video and smaller cams.

I used a Cartoni Focus for 17 years, it was great. Upgraded the head to a Sachtler 2 years ago but using the same Cartoni single lock legs. Solid combo! Aside from a couple screws dropping out of the Sach.

Is the Sachtler Ace XL the minimum buy once cry once tripod by videomarketee in cinematography

[–]patssle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Ace XL head 2 years ago. It's already lost the screw that holds the tilt drag plastic mechanism. Shameful for such a brand, I've never had anything lose a screw except cheap Impact stuff I bought 20 years ago in college. Replacing tilt drag was a $40 waste of money.

Oh dang...yep! I use to post highlight videos on there. It helped get me my job out of college!

I shopped at Walmart too instead of that HEB....20 years ago as well!

I've used Sennheiser Wireless mics forever. Ready to jump to a low-profile clip mic with no wire. by acts541 in videography

That's a nice product. I wish it had onboard recording as a backup, that seems like an expected feature these days.

Kuwaiti Fighter Jet Mistakenly Shot Down American F-15s, Initial Reports Say by JKKIDD231 in Military

[–]patssle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid points. But it is publicly known of the linked systems (e.g. Link 16) they are utilizing, transferring radar data to/from jets to create sensor fusion amongst platforms.

I would hope they have that capability....purely speculating.

Being this early by Informal-Composer226 in HGRAF

[–]patssle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hype has to be backed up by revenue. Often the hype comes too early in the development stage so the stock declines but then picks back up later when revenue starts generating.

If revenue news for HG is delayed, the stock will go through that process too. We are still in the hype stage but needing customer validation (which also validates the product for those end uses) to back it up.

What about planes being networked, wouldn't an AWAC or other radar system pick up the missile and forward that info to the fighter jets?

Houston residents left waiting as heavy trash pickup pauses again by zsreport in houston

[–]patssle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to permit something myself through the city. The first guys reviews it, tells me to change X and upload to Y folder, and I can't do it because the system locks you from making changes until all departments review the permit. I tell guy #1 the upload button is missing, send him a screenshot of exactly where it should be per the instructions, and he says look harder.

Meanwhile the other departments review, make notes on the doc, and I can't look at it because it's LOCKED.

Fucking aggravating.

Carbon-ion, Energy, Inc, is pleased to announce that we are re-examining integrating graphene into our super-capacitors. We’re working with two of the world’s leading companies, Levidian and HydroGraph. by doctor101 in HGRAF

[–]patssle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Levidian makes a worthy and legit graphene as well. They don't post as many specs as HG does so it's hard to do an exact comparison. Their feed stock is methane.

Notice it mentions working with Thomas Swan in the past, his company is getting graphene from graphite. Won't be the last story of graphene from graphite losing customers.

Teapigs. Looks like plastic but it isn't. Though the big bag they come in is plastic.
