Honey Oats & GetTheVacuum
It’s the same 10 pieces on the top of the pile for weeks. Everyone is reaching for the pieces under. As long as it’s not 2x2PT
2x2PT has been 1.25x1.25 for as long as I can remember (10 years or more). It’s only the pressure treated deck stuff for railings. This does not apply to the rest of the 2x lumber, as those are still 1.5 actual. I got Simpson corner 2x2 brackets for crazy cheap way back but ended up not really using them. The 2x2s are warped to hell and a ripped 2x4 was too big in the original 2x dimension.
I usually bring my 9ft magnetic tape from my car’s ceiling and my 4" brass fractional caliper from the glove box into the store but always end up prowling the lumber section for the loose tape measures. Wouldn’t want to look like I’m stealing, right?
Your info was probably already out there, somewhere. It’s most likely in a massive list with thousands of others. It’s still not great, but you’re not being targeted. This is why it’s important to freeze your credit with each bureau.
Just another reminder that using your SSN for ID verification purposes and acting like it’s a secret code only you could ever know is a dumb fucking system. Even the “verify with your last 4 digits” is a dumb fucking system. If you have a date of birth and a decent idea of birthplace, you can take a pretty good guess about the first 5 digits because they’re sequential from known blocks. It wasn’t until about 20 years ago that the government randomized the first 5 to stop that.
Discover offers monitoring. How are you so sure it’s phishing? An abundance of caution and logging in directly is certainly a safe route to verify, but convincing OP this is phishing and that the graphics are risky is unnecessarily alarming
I checked the noaa cloud cover forecast 7 days prior, 2 days, 1 day, 12 hours… My friends in Rochester, NY (pretty sure) got clouded out but Burlington VT had a mild hazy layer of clouds that still offered full view. It blurred some of the corona. I hope you still got to experience that sudden darkness, maybe watch the shadow drift across the cloud layer too.
You took the initiative to find clear skies. Nothing useless about it unless you wanted to take a guess where the cloud opening would be at that exact time at home
Amazon is set up as a business to do the picking. That cost is factored in. Walmart has the same market space as Amazon, so not much room to charge more and still be competitive. I can’t comment on the sporting goods store unless you mean buying online from one, in which case it’s still the same situation: a warehouse designed to pick and ship as the business model. Saves them from shipping and storing in the store. But a grocery store? They’re not set up for this thing. And being they’re a few cities over, it’s not incredibly unreasonable to have to pay for someone to pick it, consume a box, consume filler material, consume tape, print a label, and then mail it. If they deliver themselves, it wouldn’t be so complicated to pack it, but it’d probably be the same cost for the truck and driver. If the law hasn’t specified their job can be below minimum wage and covered by tips (serving), then they’re getting minimum at the minimum. Yes, minimum is trash where I am, but nothing says that tipping is required. People were tip-happy when this program was probably set up in 2020
That’s not correct. FMVSS 108, Table I-a, specifically allows rear turn signals to be amber or red. Front turn signals must be amber only.
Ah, sounds like you’ve got a handle on it then. I use a manual slr nikon lens on a dslr Canon body so I’m used to the focus rating being wrong. I understand the frustration of getting everything set up and the result being less than expected.
Funny, your last sentence is the reason my go-to forum is named cloudynights. We don’t post on clear nights!
Astronomers like using eye patches to minimize the risk of having both eyes getting bleached. I set my dslr to the lowest brightness and swapped it to a red-only color pallete for menus, but the image result can certainly still be blinding while I do some f/2.8 5s ISO 25600 framing shots. If you can’t dim it enough and don’t have a red menu option, maybe some tint film or even sunglasses could help. Maybe red plastic wrap for style points. Red doesn’t bleach your eyes.
As for focus, even on my crop sensor dslr with a 11-16mm lens, I can use live preview and 10x screen zoom to find some bright stars to hone focus. For this picture, it doesn’t get better than Sirius just to the left and down of this frame. Planets are good for the first attempt at focus if there’s no lens markings or manual focus is still electronic, but any appreciable zoom makes them lose usefulness as they become disks instead of points.
Phones have come a long way but focus on those is still the most frustrating thing. The native app doesn’t allow manual focus on my pixels but the pro mode apps don’t have the 4 minute astro modes.
And yes, bleaching is the issue. Your pupils take a few seconds to dilate, but light will bleach the rhodopsin in your receptors. It takes more time to refill rhodopsin stores and dope your receptors again which is where the “dark adaptation takes 20 minutes” comes from.
I just came back from the grand canyon/arizona and that is a place you don’t want to lose night vision. So much to see, even in winter with the thin side of the Milky way. Happy trails. Pack your red flashlight
Perfectly explains why so many officials say “today is an historic event”
Not. Lol fuck these rules.
Even if it was a 501c3, that wouldn’t mean anything special. It’s an abused term to invoke an idea of the org being a wholesome, charitable org. No, it just means they don’t answer to stockholders. Execs can still collect fat paychecks. Surplus doesn’t have to go to charity.
Animal Educator/Tour Guide at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, Divide CO. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. I might be missing something but I think neither CWWC nor AZA is a government entity.
The screenshot skips the perks which include a vest when promoted. They claim you can also do a bunch of related training/school at no cost to you but I feel like those benefits are usually hard to get and/or balance while still being a useful asset. But of course listed perks include multiple types of experience.
As with many animal-related jobs, the low pay probably manages to automatically filter down applicants to only compassionate people that just want to help the little floofs. It’s a step above volunteer (of which many are present anyway).
Guinness has a little plastic ball in it to make it foam a certain way once opened
Well it’s been solved once, so why do you expect them to re-solve it?
The popularity of ebay and Amazon kinda proves how many people would rather shop online, doesn’t it? Since basically any retailer still around has added a competitive online store. You can also easily go hundreds of miles between gamestops so they’re not truly ubiquitous to most of America’s land mass
Manufacturers at removing away from auto/carplay just as fast as it came in. They want you back in their ecosystems
OK Google: how to use proper grammar for a question?
