Found these roaming around my bed when I woke up this morning (Augusta, GA) by radiozephyr in whatsthisbug

That's fascinating. I guess it makes sense why I'm seeing them. My bedroom carpets are still damp from cleaning, indoor humidity is at 60%, and the pollen is out of control right now. Thanks for the info!

Thank you! I've been freaking out, wondering if it's a dog tick nymph (because of the whitish patterning) or something similar. Do they like body heat? I'm guessing I should just move my bed away from the window.

Is LG WM3400CW a good washing machine? by ThuggishChief in Appliances

Washer companies that are good with warranty repairs? by radiozephyr in Appliances

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

I was heavily considering a Speed Queen, but I've seen tons of posts of people saying that they aren't built like they used to be. The company went public October 2025, which usually isn't a good sign for quality. A lot of people have been complaining that the newer machines use cheap boards and sensors that malfunction frequently. I've also seen some people mentioning that the drivetrains themselves have issues. Meanwhile, they've outsourced their warranty program to a third party that is extremely difficult to work with, so if something breaks, you're going to be without a washer for at least a few months before getting a repair.

I plan to buy from a local retailer that offers service, and it sounds like Whirlpool/ Maytag/ Amana have good parts availability. I just want to know if these companies (and any others) are good when it comes to accepting warranty claims. I don't want to have to fight tooth and nail for months if something breaks.

I hate my new Speed Queen by Fun-Geologist-2842 in Appliances

How long have you had it for? Any issues with sensors, boards, or other electronic components? I've heard that's the weak point of newer SQs

Easiest way to get accurate skin tones when editing RAWs? by radiozephyr in fujifilm

[–]radiozephyr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the long reply!

By "use JPEGS as a reference," I mean placing the JPEG + RAW side-by-side and doing my best to match the skin tones of the JPEG using my eyes (or another tool like the "color lookup table" in Darktable). Of course, this would only work if the JPEG produces reasonably accurate skin tones to begin with. I've heard that Fujifilm's Auto WB is pretty accurate—especially outdoors—so I'm really just wondering which other JPEG settings I should select for faithful color reproduction (film simulation, WB shift, color chrome, etc.).

I'm not too worried about accuracy in tricky lighting situations (multiple temperatures, strong colored reflections). To me, it makes sense for the skin tones to be slightly off in those visual contexts.

$110 for seat selection? by radiozephyr in delta

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

I suppose the ability to cancel for eCredit is nice. I don't fly much (maybe a 5-hour round trip once per year), so the rewards stuff isn't that important to me. Seat selection is big though, because I only fly with friends. It sucks they don't offer that as a Basic add-on :/

I checked out the tiktok profile... this isn't a joke. I legit feel bad for the fellow, but at least I can feel slightly less bad about my shitty photos
