I'll offer a counterpoint. I have a 6x7 and it's heavy and cumbersome. I never use it.

You absolutely do not need to pay $20k for a medium format rangefinder. You can buy a Plaubel Makina for $2k-$3k right now and that's one of the more expensive options.

For what it's worth virtually every medium format rangefinder uses a leaf shutter integrated in the lens. Many are simply fixed lens cameras (Fujifilm). Even kits with interchangea…

When I was in high-school 20 plus years ago excerpt based reading assignments were fairly common in non-honors/advanced placement classes. Except there were whole textbooks full of…

They are also very heavy duty compared to a normal washer and dryer, even a basic one. I've had mine since 2017 and they just work.

You haven't really provided any info that can help someone provide you with concrete advice. How are you apply to jobs? How many jobs have you applied for? What is the furthest you…

A couple of things: It's the game I've always wanted to play That doesn't mean it's a game everyone else wants to play. However, the game mechanic itself seems pretty decent. What …

There is no reason to be "more careful" about Godot. It's exactly what it says it is on the box, an OSS game engine with a permissive license. It's a newcomer to the game dev scene…

The cost of college is astounding. However, companies are not giving preferential treatment to non-grads. Find a school in your state with a good internship program for CS majors w…

At first I thought maybe you were cherry-picking some examples from more prestigious schools. Then I checked on the tuition rates for the schools I attended. $29,000/yr for the les…

Well paid collections agent? Collections engineer, if you will. Your onboarding will be making collection calls.

That's really interesting, but I'm curious to know if that amount of vibration is expected. It seems like something isn't mounted correctly from the videos.

The keyboard arrangement was incidentally changed into QWERTY, first to receive telegraphs, then to thrash out a compromise between inventors and producers, and at last to evade ol…

It's the 4 speed with the granny low gear.

I'd say that 6.5 as plenty of life left. My 6.2 is pushing 400,000km.

I would argue the 6.2L/6.5L Detroit Diesel is a superior choice in North America, which is the engine used in the article.

You can buy what is basically the same engine new. https://quadstartuning.com/products/amg-gep-optimizer-6500-l...

My time to shine! I still own an early square body truck with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel. The thing that stands out to me in this article is that the Suburbans shown are an earlier ge…

The seats weren't really all that comfortable to begin with. However, you can rebuild the seats. LMC Truck has rebuild kits with new foam and covers. You can even add heated seats.…

The turbine version going for $2.4m is in fact the plane from the article OP shared. So that's what they are looking to get for their version. https://www.planecheck.com/?ent=ap&ma…

I bought a Bunn VP-17 commercial coffee maker over a decade ago and use that. It makes a fresh pot in 3 minutes and it can make 4 gallons of coffee an hour. Edit: I just looked at …

I fail to see what part of my comment constitutes a "hateboner". Avoiding bias in journalism predates silicon valley by decades, if not centuries.

How about building an electric guitar? I made one when I was 17. It does require some special tools. Stewart Mac is a great resource for information and parts/equipment. Check out …
