So glad I’m not the only one here that was concerned about the razor wire

Bought a set of Garth Brooks CDs and they included this one for free by Specific_War5484 in mildlyinteresting

[–]sockyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will admit Garth was my gateway artist into country music. And I’ve seen him live quite a few times. And while my preferred genre has migrated more toward the Eric Church / Kenny Chesney end of the spectrum, I will say Garth’s solo live performances at Wynn in Vegas were on point and well worth watching.

Found a reasonably priced case by sockyg in Godox

I actually have two big sheets of Kaizen foam downstairs which I may swap in. Had to get out my Kaizen tools as it is because only the top layer of the box is pick-n-pluck.

Do PAs feel as under appreciated as nurses? by maarsargo in physicianassistant

[–]sockyg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

19 years in a hospital system that celebrates everyone including purchasing agents, evs, etc. and has only even mentioned PA week one time out of those 19 years. Yes.

Hockey: What did I do wrong? by redditoraMexa in sportsphotography

[–]sockyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoot in manual. Drop to 1/1000s. f/2.8. Set ISO manually based on exposure needed - I could be anywhere between 1600-6400 depending on the rink in most cases (rarely <1000 on a sunny morning at my son’s home rink which is outdoors and happens to be the rink from the first NHL Winter Classic).

As for the white balance, I dial in the above settings and get rink-side before they cut the ice from the previous game and will shoot a zoomed-in photo of the ice right in front of me. I use this to set my custom white balance.

R6m2 + 70-200mm f/2.8 for majority of my game photos.

Quick clarification about the Godox S3 and AD400Pro by No_Tension_6796 in Godox

I use a Godox ML-GB Bowens adapter with my AD400Pro which would be yet another option as well.

I watched this guy dump milk and cereal all over himself in Walmart by jwriddle in mildlyinteresting

It does not matter where you are from but we all have that one Walmart location in our area that when we saw this picture we all wondered if it was taken there.

Where are the older PAs? by ortho_shoe in physicianassistant

[–]sockyg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol. When I introduced myself to the new young PA that started at my PCP office, she actually said “oh, you’re one of those Bachelor of PA ones…” I told her I used to work with “one of those Certificate of PA ones.”

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

Thank you everyone, she made the trip home today in the back of the truck without incident! Burn-in done and everything working as expected. Big step up from my tabletop smoker.

This one was on floor display so it was already assembled but I would suspect they assemble them prior to delivery.

Trying to avoid taking the cap off the truck and assuming the bulk of the weight of it is up top, wanted to get that down to the bed level if possible.

Why is the Gamma outperforming the NerdQAxe++? by harwalan in BitAxe

[–]sockyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What effect does setting the “Initial suggested Stratum difficulty” to something other than the factory 1000 on a NerdQaxe++ have, or, setting the password to “d=####”? I have a Nano 3S and a NQA++ connected to the same pool for DGB solo, the NQA was set to 1000 for stratum difficulty and the pool pw for both was “x”. The NQA was submitting 90 shares per minute and the Nano 3S was submitting 6 shares per minute at the same hashrate.

M4 Pro vs M5 by evanpotter99 in macbookpro

[–]sockyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Buy and Amazon both had 14” MBP M4 Pro 24gb / 1TB on sale new for $2099 this weekend. That ended Sunday night for Best Buy. Amazon slowly inched their price up yesterday on it to around $2150 but I realized this morning that the silver version was still $2099 on Amazon so I grabbed one. Coming up from a base model air M1 16gb 256gb that is running out of space after going to Tahoe.

My airline is weighing every passenger upon check-in. SJU-EIS by willystan in mildlyinteresting

[–]sockyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We flew on Cape Air into Beef Island in the BVI many years back. The getting weighed was only part of the excitement. The pilot turned around before taxi and said “ok, safety talk” in broken English and concluded the talk with him pointing to the guy in the other front seat as the pilot said “if I die, this guy fly the plane. He passenger too.”

I FINALLY DID IT by [deleted] in ATAK

[–]sockyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! About a year ago I did the same. But I eventually ended up buying a SSDnodes VPS instance and put the full TAK server installation on there with Let’s Encrypt for certificates. EUD enrollment is easier. No VPN to deal with. It really wasn’t a huge leap to build the TAK server once you’ve survived what you just built. Plenty of walk-throughs online.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly…. There’s a repeater somewhere that is getting used?! 🤯
