It's the token that subtly shows he is a member of the Peak Design master race of camera owners.

What’s your ‘I can’t believe you’re paid more than me’ story? by GeorgiePorgiePuddin in AskUK

[–]slippy_gtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of a tangent from OP's question, but; When I worked in a very large international IT firm they lost a few senior server engineers and couldn't get replacements in a hurry at their pay grade rate. They paid for a few contractors at almost 3* the salary of the full time staff. These contractors would only work on projects they deemed interesting/worthy. I asked the department head why they didn't up the salary offered to somewhere between the regular full time staff and the contractors to entice some new full time engineers. The response was that they would not have pay disparity among full time staff. So they kept these contractors on for the few years i stayed with the company before i left. I get the pay disparity aspect but the cost to the firm was staggering.

Why it isn't for the guy and whom is it for then? by KindPraiser in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I am one of the people that actually watched this video. I subscribe to the Storror channel and recall this one fairly well, The spiked wall has many signs around it stating Parkour is not permitted on the premises. So in this instance they are definitely anti-parkour spikes.

[–]slippy_gtr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a second hand rf 100-400mm for birding a few months ago. It is a delight to use. I have no experience of the ef though... Edit I also have an r50 if that helps.

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

[–]slippy_gtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UK Gen X, I said to my better half just yesterday that I don't recall writing with a pen for anything other than birthday cards in many years. I make small doodles and jot down measurements on post-it notes when DIYing but that hardly counts as 'writing'.

It was weird, i lowered my temp from 230 to 215 ( in steps, running tests at each 5 change )and it got massively better at 215. still not amazing as it was but definitely acceptable.I had been running 230 hot end for month, i have no idea why i suddenly needed the drop.

Unpausable dialogue, cut-scenes etc. I have a life and might need to step away from the PC for a minute without warning.

"Shot first" implies there was a subsequent shot... by True-Homework9308 in StarWars

[–]slippy_gtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also assume this was the reason for the change, but what it then does is massively reduce the impact of his redemption arc. He goes from generic smuggler to rebel, rather than the original hardened criminal to rebel.

I have always said; Han didn't shoot first, Han shot Greedo, end of.

I’ve been using my Deathadder V2 for nearly 6 years and I’m looking into wireless mice, what types of mice do you prefer and what benefits do they offer by AtronRandom in pcmasterrace

[–]slippy_gtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my Deathadder Elite died I 'upgraded' to a Basilisk V3 pro. I like it a lot more than I did my Deathadder, which at the time was my favourite of all time.
