BH or secondarily Adorama are good choices because they sell legit retail cards. I would not buy memory cards from Amazon as they source from multiple suppliers and some have been found to be counterfeit. :( Are you sending NEF to one card and JPG to another? For personal use (not shooting on...

Of course incandescent E26 lamps are being phased out, but when will LED replace CFL? There were still more CFL than LED lamps at the store the last time I looked (August).

I thought she grew up in commie Russia, so they may not have had fancy heating.

The max is 900 on whatever scale they use. It doesn't really matter now though.

It definitely seems inefficient. What I've seen lately is that for one-day shipping the delivery time is scheduled for prior to 9PM. So then by 9:30 or 10:00 there is still no package and yet the online notification indicates that it was delivered at around 8:45. In the morning the package is...

There are no Canon cameras in recent times that support both CF and SD that are not significantly faster with CF cards. Using two cards at the same time will result is a slowdown and/or reduced buffer capacity.

You want the 64GB or 32GB Extreme Pro cards for action.

I did not realize the lens did not focus very close. One can add some extension tubes. I assumed the D610 was in the 70MB/sec.+ range, but perhaps not. What is the write speed? I know the SD slot on the D600, D800 and some other older bodies were capped in the upper 30MB/sec. range. The...

If the LED wastes 10W and the CFL 16 W, what does the incandescent waste?

What is up with the Amazons? I bought n=12 of a simple item, but they shipped in three groups of 4 boxes over a 12-day period with no additional notification. It's ridiculous. At least there are no additional charges per the Amazonian Primes.

I think they are the same ones that have been around for over year. I have 10 or so, mainly used as backup drives. The 4 TB are 5900 RPM. The 6TB are 7200 RPM, so I use them as primary drives. The standard middle mounting threads are absent since the platters take up the full height of the...

The problem is the mother in law, not the engineering of the HVAC. Close her vent halfway or a little more and leave it at that.

What is your purpose in capturing the images? If it is high quality print, then you need to get much closer. If it is only for the web, then crop tightly. Nobody wants to see all that dead space. ;) I don't usually judge quality of web images, only the RAW files. The small part that is in...

I ordered some Seagate 4TB for $100 and some 6TB for $170 recently at the egg.

I don't know about north of the border, but in the US "Walk behind rotary lawn mowers are subject to both voluntary are mandatory rules. The mandatory standard, which requires an operator presence control to stop the blade within 3 seconds, went into effect July 1, 1982." Read more here.

I thought you had a smallish, well-insulated home. If it's a just a project for fun perhaps, but is there any ROI? What are your electric and heating bills now?

No, of course not. Maybe everyone is more immune the cold, but I wear fingerless gloves down to about freezing then need a closed glove below that.

Not anymore, at least for ~2 years if my health remains stable. I use gloves in CA and AZ/UT, etc. as well, especially at high altitudes. They are also necessary in the southern hemisphere for the penguins up close.

What are you all using for conductive gloves? The newfangled cars have some touching areas, etc. and the old pigskin is not going to work.

I have the Prime, but never am interested in the online stuff due to my internet speed. I did order some HDDs from the egg.

Yes and it was stupid, but I screwed uj.

How does one know if the videos are 4096K? My monitor is a normal one and I'm not spending over $5K to find out. Which camera did you finally get that does the 4K videos?

Look at the rated lumens vs. the power input (watts). You will see a far less significant improvement between CFL and LED compared to the difference between incandescent and CFL.

What would the TSA do with that light setup?

868 points on credit, what does that mean?

Apparently the c

What is being tested and why?

Thanks. I have to make a decision this weekend. It's getting tired and no car will be anywhere near perfect, especially for 40K. If only I did not spend more than that vacations recently, I could buy an sclass. :lol: One last thing - is the extendable warranty worthwhile?

Can't you just use a phone or tablet on travel?

What is their problem with the Scrabble app for the Androids or iThingies?

Unfortunately it does not really work like that. A lot of models just aren't available as rentals for some reason although other cars from the same class may be commonly rented. Even if a rental exists, it is usually a stripped down version with a crappy engine (if engine options exist) and...

I drove a few Nissans recently as rentals, not my preference. I really don't like the CVTs. The one in the 4-banger Altima was especially awful. It sounded like a low gear revved up all the time even under 2K. The one in the V6 SUV was not too noisy at low RPMs, but was noisier than a...

Of course I meant... There seems to be no transmission or gearing options on either of the cars.

There seems to be no transmission or gearing on either of the cars.

What do you all consider acceptable for the weight (lbs.)/HP ratio of a normal street vehicle? Is 13.1:1 OK? Now (DD ;)) that means no fancy cars that cost far more than I make in the year. :D

Do you see that Hungry Games? Apparently it's only $101M, so a semi-failure.

I can't help it due to traffic. The speed limit is 80 on some UT roads so I do better there. :)

Oh, McLorean is a silly sports car.

Knew what, that I live near a city?

I don't even see them listed in car buying guide. My average trip speed for the morning commute is about 18MPH and then it is about 26 in the evening. :(

It all looks similar to me, but what do I know? It seems that most cars are uglier than ever on the outside and hard to see out of from the inside. What should matter more in appearance is the interior, which is where the vast majority of one's time is spent. :)

Back in the 70s we used terminal blocks. I assume they are still made.

I suspected something like that. :D I hope it's a good one, but like DD prefer not to do any work myself.

Maybe brighter lights can be made, but there is no data on efficiency. I suppose it is just in the lab for now.

They should put in just one fluorite element and make it a $2K+ lens.

Do you mean at work? The vehicle is for personal use, and so are the e-mail and phone of course.

Thanks. I definitely don't want to pay much more since the option is technically a credit, though I'm not doing it to save money.

I'm already getting the spam. :( It's starting to look like I will need a special border. Back in the 60s and 70s it was common place, but I have no experience. What do you do?

You mean with the GPS?
