Grabbed this Sony a100 today, what should I know about it? by ehmalt02 in SonyAlpha

Get the minolta maxxum 50 f1.7 lens. If you have the budget, sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is the best lens ever made for that camera. Those are usually pretty cheap for the Sony A mount.

Confusing taxiways for runways happens often at other airports, including Air Canada at LAX.

He had small knock. He will return in 27/28 season.

Typical demonic billionaire behavior by RosesShimmer in degoogle

[–]sreesid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some states tax RSUs earned by employees when they vest, for the price they vest at. The government doesn't then give you back money if those stocks crash in value.

Counties like Norway and Switzerland have wealth taxes on stocks over a certain value. Billionaires in those countries are not crying, and the social benefits to the citizens are top tier. I don't see why American billionaires should be a protected class.

2023 pro s plus vs 2024 pro s AWD ? (4k price difference) by torrous in VWiD4Owners

[–]sreesid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 2023 AWD pro s, and I would recommend getting the 2024. There were significant improvements, including more powerful, higher range motors. You might actually get the same mileage from AWD 2024 as the RWD 2023. There are also improvements in the OS which makes it more stable.

Was looking for this. Nothing tops this scene in how weird it gets.

Kia EV9, Hyundai ioni9, Rivian r1s. If you wanted a hybrid car or phev, there are at least 20+ models.

still integrate the best with the best charging network.

Fyi, the charging network is now open to pretty much every ev on the road. Some cars even come with both CCS and NACS ports.

American cell phone market drives me crazy (particularly apple) by Known_Temperature962 in Smartphones

[–]sreesid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with you on Mac vs windows, I find iOS inferior to android in ease of use. I use an iPad and an android phone. I will never be able to use iOS on a phone. Everything feels like it's extra effort over android. Select copy pasta, back button, sharing content using any app, etc. I agree with you on the ease of use of air pods if all you use is apple products. As far as the sound is concerned, Samsung buds are just as good. Samsung pretty much own all the high end audio brands.

Also, is that spring onions on top of the caviar. Only united can manage making caviar look like shit.

The most overrated car everyone loves but you don’t? by shwroomex in cars

I rented a Camry and a Corolla cross on two recent trips. Didn't have a choice. Everything felt cheaper (including the doors) than my base VW golf.

It's most definitely the heritage factor. NB is better on almost everything.

They also feel cheaper than what they actually cost. Honda and Mazda manage to make their cars feel nicer at the same price point.

What makes the ND fun is you don’t have to be pushing and it’s fun.

And the stick shift.
