License Plate ID Help

I posted this in the morning, then went out later in the afternoon to take a closer look. That's when I noticed the damage wasn't that bad and decided not to file a claim. I'm not trying to rip anyone off. My mistake was to post this thread before seeing if I really was going to pursue filing a...

License Plate ID Help

Forgot about this thread. I went back to reassess the damage and it was minimal after all. The grill inserts popped back in and nothing was broken. The front spoiler still has a crack. It first happened about a year ago due to some retread that I ran over but now has grown larger with this...

License Plate ID Help

I was pissed off because I've already had to replace parts due to a bucket falling off a truck and a semi-truck tire scrap getting kicked up into my lane. I don't tailgate and stuff like this still happens. How can you blame me for him not tying down his boxes? For the box to cause this much...

License Plate ID Help

Broke my lower grille inserts and cracked part of the front spoiler. My car is lowered so the box was forced underneath my car, causing the plastic to bend and fracture.

License Plate ID Help

This morning a box flew out of a pickup truck's bed and damaged my front bumper. I have a dashcam and the incident was recorded, however, I did not get close enough to get his license plate number clearly and I didn't think to read it so the dashcam could record my voice. So far I've loaded the...

How to sell new 20 mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens?

You can try Craigslist, although I've never sold anything worth more than $500 on there. When I transitioned to FF, I sold two lenses and an old camera body on CL and everything went smoothly. You just have to deal with all the lowballers and potential scammers.

Oh, that's a negative then. I will reveal that I did work for a local county for 3.5 years about 10 months after making this post, but have already switched jobs. I'm gonna get depressed if people start guessing jobs way better than my current one, lol!

Fish tank woes

Since there are so many different approaches I can take, I still don't know which is the best course to go. This is what I am thinking: 1. Drain the tank 2. Completely replace the gravel 3. Wash the plants and castle with a 3% vinegar solution 4. Add new water 5. Let water stand for 24...

Fish tank woes

I'm much calmer now! My first tank (the 10-gallon) was perfect. The water was super clear and tested perfect on all the tests. However, the water came from the tap in my old city of Corona, which probably explains everything. When I moved to Riverside in August last year I noticed the water is...

Fish tank woes

I just wanted the water to be stable for the transfer of my existing fish. I didn't thinking running it without fish for less than a week would cause this issue. The last thing I want to do is kill my fish just to get the tank ready. Do the Plecos get along with goldfish? EDIT: So I took my...

Fish tank woes

No RO is being used. The water is straight from the tap. I fill up 5-gallon buckets from my tub. I know the water where I live is hard and has a strong smell of chlorine. I use the appropriate amount of water conditioner to remove the chlorine and chloramine.

Fish tank woes

I'm at my wits end here. First I need to explain the back story: Back in August or September 2012 I purchased a 29-gallon fish tank from Petco. This isn't my first time with a fish tank, as I have been successfully running a small 10-gallon tank with two goldfish in it for nearly four years...

Suggestion for a 55" LED tv?

I bought the LG 55LM6700 from Fry's back in early November for $889. It does have 3D but of course you don't need to utilize that feature if you don't want to. I'm pretty happy with it after running it through calibration. There's a little bit of backlight bleed in the top right corner but it...

Question on shutter speed rule-of-thumb

I was told that with APS-C and the 1.5/1.6X crop factor you have to do some math to find the adjusted focal length, which then in turn changes the minimum shutter speed. I don't know if that only applies when you're using full-frame lenses, though.

1080p .mkv -> ? something Xbox 360

I believe you are correct. It may also work because I have the DivX Plus codec installed which allows .mkv to be played in WMP on Windows 7, but will not decode the 5.1 audio on the PC unless you have decoder software.

Amazon wireless

Best Buy may give you the rebate instantly, but they also charge tax on the full retail price of the phone (per some stupid California law). Much cheaper on Amazon because of that.

Even though the screen is small and has the same resolution as the old one, it still carries over a 24-bit panel, which is much better than other smartphones (besides the iPhone 4). Photos look superb on my Sprint Pre. I am a bit disappointed this is going to Verizon but hopefully by next June...
