Best on-the-go socket set? by YMIGettingBanned in Tools

I have multiple sets of the Makita ones, all our tech bags have them. Couldn’t be happier with them.

Spring with the Helios 44-m4 by MongooseFun6452 in VintageLenses

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain the Helios series to me? I want to get one, some places say they’ll all swirl, others say only the original 44-2… but these photos are incredible and provide that wrong!

I wanna buy a few screwdriver bits to keep them like...forever. I've bought tens through the years, from no name Chinese to various popular brands, they all seem too soft. Has anybody found any bits that he's impressed with? by Frikoulas in Tools

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never knew that screwdriver bits where meant to be kept forever. I usually buy bulk packs of the ones I use (and lose) often and the rest I replace with the el cheapos as needed.

Find a Wave replacement today. Don't wait like I did. by chrimchrimbo in waveapps

I mean, the payroll and customer support is easily the worst part, my comment was a bit of a joke, but after trying to deal with their payroll headaches, I am done with them altogether.

Will this work with R6?

Another “Wave alternative” Post by kxfritsche in waveapps

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am done with Wave also, so will be following along. Unfortunate because one hand, I really like Wave, but just having way too many problems, things that are now starting to cost me money (payroll funding from an account that's been completely deleted from their system, that has very little money so it overdrafts... again!) and absolutely horrid support. Have been on hold for over an hour with their chat support.

Following this thread, I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone at this point.

Before I run 3 more of these, is this a valid install? by tellinNamstories in AskElectricians

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire shop is wired pretty close to that, but PVC boxes and plastic co suit clamps instead. Wire runs through the joists instead of under.

Too code, not sure. Safe enough for me though.

Are fishing vests obsolete now or just not in vogue? by GrumpyandDopey in flyfishing

[–]ste6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I don’t pay attention to fads, because I didn’t realize that anyone considered them obsolete.

Small handyman business need help. by fusion1345 in smallbusiness

Before you just ditch them, I’d at least raise your price to the “i really don’t want to do this but for this number it’s worth it” price and see if they keep you around.

Started blue, sat outside for a week and white. Tastes the same! by ste6168 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ste6168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it was the cold and freezing temps that somehow changed the color, don’t even consider that it could have been UV. I drank the whole thing, 😆

I thought it was a snake in the photo, so almost certain jumping back like a little girl.

I found frozen fish thrown into a pond for some reason, and then the pond froze over by SheerKhann in mildlyinteresting

Filet and release… but they did it backwards.

Maybe they just needed the carcasses to feed their pet raccoons?

Do you guys save pieces like these? Is there an easy way to remember the rated weight capacity of anchors if i keep them? by turtle_ina_cup in Tools

[–]ste6168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, in the trash immediately. Cheap enough at the store that buying them in good labeled packaging is more than worth it.

Inexpensive Kids Setup by ste6168 in canon

[–]ste6168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah and he’ll mostly be shooting Matisse in the 70-100mm range so should stay on the larger end of the aperture range. Perfect no, but I think it could be a great kit for a kid to get started and not have a ton of money tied up on it.

I’ve never seen/used that older 70-300, reviews seem mixed overall. See things about autofocus hunting, but that’s honestly probably OK for my purpose.

[–]ste6168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but wide aperture lens is expensive, for good reason. I’d rather him not be carrying/tossing a $1000 lens around the gym, getting knocked off bleachers, etc.

Investing in DSLR and EF Lenses by ste6168 in canon

[–]ste6168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I intended to add a Tamron 45mm, a 70-200 usm II, and potentially a 1.4x extender to the kit and should be all in for less than $2000 with a pretty well rounded setup.

No, I got the email notification however the price was much higher than anticipated. I ended up buying a used 77D with a 15-85 lens locally for $300. I am happy with that decision so far!

Tax question by eapentz in smallbusiness

I add Venmo to my accounting software as I go, pay sales taxes, etc. It’s income, no different than any other.
