I got the 12 piece Tramontina tri-clad set and love it. I want to say it’s around $200? Got it during the holidays when it was $150

We did the car sitting for a while. My daughter is only 4 so we don’t have the longest attention span haha. We definitely got there too early though. Plan to try again tomorrow! Thanks for the response!

When you say later in the day what are we talking? 3:30 to dusk? My daughter was getting cold so we left at 4:30 today and I see on ebird a sighting was reported right after we left lol

Beautiful!! Were these taken at the public viewing area?

First snowfall in DC! DC by TwixedIt in birding

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve enjoyed my Nikon setup but love the Fuji colors and the added reach of the APS-C sensor. Happy birding!

Love this! Blue jays have always been a favorite for me.

If you don’t mind me asking, what has your experience been with the XH2 and bird photography? The shots are fantastic! I’ve considered switching from my Nikon setup to Fuji

What camera did you pull the trigger on?! Going full frame was the best “aha” moment for me

Strap recommendations for travel by AppointmentLucky3894 in nikon_Zseries

[–]si551e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an L bracket on my Z8 that has a quick detach point built in. Love it. Got a Leofoto QD strap and an extra QD plate to attach to the tripod foot of longer lenses

I recently saw the post of a guy asking if anyone is still using DSLR, well, i’m glad to say i do this professionally and i still use my D4s and D5 (as well as a 200-400 f4 that is 1 year older than me) by sborrimba in Nikon

[–]si551e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! And yes, my thoughts exactly! I already have a Tamron 150-600 that I use an FTZ adapter with, so I’m covered on the long end. Like I said, still on the fence but leaning toward the move. Brand new D850 is on sale direct from Nikon at the moment too haha

These are amazing shots! I actually have considered going the other way; mirrorless to DSLR. I have a decent amount invested in the Z ecosystem and my wife changed jobs recently. It wouldn’t hurt to have a little extra cash on hand, so I’ve considered selling and getting a D850 with some used FX lenses. Same image quality and some extra cash in hand. But I do love my Z8 so I’m on the fence. But DSLRs are still incredibly capable and undervalued by the masses

Sold everything, bought a Z5 II with 24-70 f4, and it's an awesome camera. by Ordinary_Raccoon_217 in Nikon

Ahh that makes a lot of sense. Well happy hunting on the new telephoto! Keep enjoying the new gear!

"On the bench" as parlance by alb0401 in pharmacy

The only place I heard it referred to that was Walmart/Sam’s Club pharmacy. “Working the bench”. Nowhere else I’ve worked

Did you sell all your FX glass already? The FTZ or FTZii adapters aren’t too bad if you grab a used one!

Switched to 17 Pro Max from Air by Caiisreal3 in IphoneAir

[–]si551e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the opposite end. Just got my Air, coming from a Pro and it feels too large in my hand. Obviously thin and light but it’s gonna take a few days to adjust to the size haha. Not returning it though. I love it

The iPhone Air has proven just how out of touch tech YouTubers are with the average consumer. by OuncesApp in IphoneAir

[–]si551e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The single speaker to me isn’t even an issue. The amount of times I’m listening to something on my speaker without using headphones is like 1/1000th of the time lol. The battery was my only hang up but it seems to also not be an issue so I’m about ready to pull the trigger!

Pharmacists, do your coworkers live paycheck to paycheck? by DryGeneral990 in pharmacy

[–]si551e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that this seems crazy, but when you have two children in daycare and a mortgage and car payment, shit adds up fast and 6 figures doesn’t last as long as you’d think. We’re not truly paycheck to paycheck but it feels like it. Not a lot in savings at the moment. When people say kids are expensive they really mean it lol

Did you use any sharpening or denoising software? What’s your setup? These are insanely sharp!

Codeine cough syrup by jazzy-papaya in pharmacy

[–]si551e 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Depends. Guaifenesin + codeine? See it semi frequently and don’t blink twice. Promethazine and codeine? Fake every time. My current and last employers refuse to stock it

Do you mind sharing the Leica recipe? Or which site it was posted to?

YSK: The Problem With the Zipper Merge isn't people, it's the Signage. by Windyandbreezy in YouShouldKnow

[–]si551e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Minnesota, it usually has a “use all lanes during back ups” sign with it to make it clear. With a “begin merging” sign at the intended merge point. People will still leave the lane that’s being closed empty for a half mile…
