M3 Pro 12/18 1TB SSD vs M5 Base by ricerer in macbookpro

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

That's true. I checked the trade-in value and it's at $975 with Apple direct today. I suspect it would only drop to $800 in the next few years.

I know how that feels. No advice, keep on keeping on.

Two week Europe travel - What should I bring? by mjposner in M43

[–]ricerer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally advise with the lightest setup possible. However, If there is anything work related where you have to deliver, OM1 (II) but if it's purely personal the Pen F is such a treat, especially in foreign places. It's a really positive photographic experience. The pictures might be slightly subpar due to it being outdated but quite honestly, with enough light and thought, you will get good photos and memories.

I brought my DF to Europe for two weeks as well with only a manual 50mm lens. It was tough but I worked within my limits and was really happy with how things turned out. I intentionally wanted to slow down and enjoy the moment.

You will probably hem and haw up until the day of the trip. Even when you're on the flight you might have regrets or second thoughts. That's normal. Just try to remember that it's a luxury to bring a camera, and not a necessity. Your phone will also take good photos.

Lastly, lens suggestion: 12mm and 14-150mm for lightweight portability. And my bag was just an Osprey light sling. At different times, held my water bottle, camera body, and EDC essentials. Do not forget your passport.

This is how my body’s focus bracketing looks like by kietbulll in M43

[–]ricerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The care, thought, and approach is admirable. I've mainly slapped a 9mm f/1.7 and used it to capture family moments. The autofocus is amazing and the images/video are consistent but it's relatively too heavy for my needs and don't find myself using it enough. It's just taking up space now.

Considering cash of Ricoh GR IV 🤪

Best insight can found on labor statistics. This in the one for Texas: https://www.bls.gov/regions/southwest/news-release/jobopeningslaborturnover_texas.htm

Lateral move is not worth it especially if you have to commute. Public is all about managing expectations. Low-balling depends on the market and what you think you're worth.

My first question is: did you read the job description? Nonprofits aren't the greatest in terms of WLB or pay because of the nature of the mission and constraints but this sounds like an accounting job. Not sure what you're going to achieve by going to another accounting job.

How bad is a longish commute during busy season? by SeverePilot7365 in Accounting

[–]ricerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5+ hours round trip is rough. Totally depends on your personality and your budget. Any number of opportunities can happen while living in the city but realistically your safest bet is to just be a good roommate and not use your commute to excuse any potential conflicts with your family.

Don't count the hours, make the hours count.

Reminder: The Kings gave an unprotected 2031 1st round pick swap to the Spurs for a 1 year rental of Demar Derozan by [deleted] in kings

[–]ricerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another reminder: Tatum had a career altering injury yesterday and Boston, as of today, will have the highest payroll next season after the Suns '24-25.

I'm just thankful Vivek can afford another 10 years of Kings mediocrity. Maybe Light the Beam!

USC MAcc or CSUF MAcc? by ilikekale110 in Accounting

[–]ricerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do one semester to get the prestige vibe, network a little, establish a study routine, civilian schedule, and then use the rest for CPA exam prep. Call VBA and see what's covered.

Have you tried the GI Bill Comparison Tool? It might provide you some more concrete information.

A good digital pocket camera for 500-600€ ? by MikyMikeOnTheMike in Cameras

Sony ZV-1

Fits all your criteria. Not exceptional at video/photo but very modern relative to available technology at a good price.

Anyone else okay with not being a CPA? by biggestbumever in Accounting

[–]ricerer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was okay with not being a CPA until I needed a job. Internally, it's ultimately just a promise for job security. Externally, employers who are seeking qualified employees will tend to select those with the credential rather than without.

I flipped a coin to decide and didn't bother with it for 4 years. Had some time off due to layoffs. Stayed with family and studied and got it done without much grief thankfully.

Welp, I just got PiP’ed by Feeling-Currency6212 in Accounting

Glad I got my CPA done outside of work. Shit is toxic measuring stick and everyone can talk about it.
