Given how good I think the A7IV is, this is something I'll likely look for used in a few years. I really believe the sensor size is pretty idea. The A7RV I get to use at work now is pretty amazing but the file sizes are enormous and I often don't need that much resolution even for large (30"x40") prints.

A very happy birthday to you, Todd.

Happy Birthday!

Decided to have a go at Chicken Korma. Bites while seasoning were pretty great. Naan is staying warm in the oven to go alongside.

Got a ride with the ANG two weeks ago to check out our remote project site in what southerners call Northern Maine (Bangor area). They had an issue with the first aircraft, but thankfully had a spare, and the delayed departure made for a convenient return time.

Sorry to hear about the pie incident and the burns, both suck.

Bourbon pecan pie.

Such a great episode.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday(s)!!

I'm afraid it'll start talking to me if I open it up... But perhaps there's a science project in my future to see what happens when I do.

I think so

Still have some in the fridge and I will admit that I'm absolutely terrified to drink it.

Happy birthday, Vincent!

Seems very much of the times.

Happy birthday, gents!

The wind is just giving you bonus training. 😁 Seriously though, don't worry, it's not a race. I get the frustration though as 9/10 rides home from work are into the wind of some sort. Today for me was a quick rip around town as I didn't have time for a long ride and my back still hasn't totally recovered from last weekend so I'm trying to mostly take it easy on it. Garmin's guess at the wind was way off. I'd say the seat of the pants feel was more like 10mph steady with some swirling/gusting going on. Still a beautiful day for a ride.

^^^ This. I generally ride in the low 70s, spinning faster doesn't feel good for me or my legs. I've tried to train up to a faster cadence via Zwift and it just feels wrong. So I don't fight it. I'm fast enough to where I want to be fitness-wise w/ no aches and pains - from cycling anyway.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Peter! 🟪

Happy belated birthdays, gents. Sorry for missing the party, as usual G-man comes through with the AI goodness.

@EdipisReks1 - it will be curious to hear your thoughts on ink consumption and cost to print. Looks like ~$100 to replace all 8 cartridges which honestly is not horrible. 13" maximum dimension (in one direction) coupled with 39" length could be fun to tinker with.

They selected "Well Done" - fuck that noise.

Freakin' sweet work!

Man it's been a good 10 years since I had a kidney stone. I'm glad to only have had one and you're quite lucky to not have felt the passage from kidney to bladder (unless it really was just a bladder stone). Just about all patients (Steve and I included) experience the worst pain as the stone makes its way from Kidney down, simply because that's the smallest pipe. But all that said, completely agree, passing a solid is not fun. Side note - look for areas in your life where you are letting yourself get overly dehydrated or taking in too many salts/minerals. My brother in law had stones 4 or 5 times until he realized that taking his kids leftover multi-vitamins on top of his own daily vitamin was overloading his kidneys. Talk about a painful lesson.
