You can choose to invest based on how experienced you are and how involved you want to be in selecting your investments. If you have some more regular medical expenses throughout the year, an FSA could make more sense since the money is "use it or lose it" and having more regular medical expenses makes it more likely that you'll spend the balance before it expires.You currently have diverse investment options in your HSA, including self-directed mutual funds and digitally managed investments from Betterment. Plus, if you never wind up using your HSA funding when you're younger, you'll be able to use these funds in retirement. This gives your money time to grow so if you do get hit with a large medical expense in the future, you should hopefully have a higher balance able to cover the bill.

The FSA contribution limit for 2023 is lower at $3,050 per account, regardless if it's for an individual or family. The new HSA contribution limits for 2024 are $4,150 for single individuals (up from $3,850 in 2023) and $8,300 for family coverage (up from $7,750 in 2023). One difference is that you don't need to have a HDHP to qualify for an FSA your employer simply has to offer FSA enrollment for you to be eligible to sign up.Īnother major difference is that each account has different contribution limits. Because of this, it's not only recommended as a way to save for medical expenses but to also build wealth for expenses later in life.Īn FSA is similar to an HSA in that it allows individuals to save for medical expenses.

I would sure recommend shooting some additional primer/surfacer over an area such as a door or long quarter that you thought you had straight with a Dura Block, giving it some guide coat, and hitting it again with a long masonite strip held with two hands at the ends so it is pushed into shape to conform to the original curve, which is very important to do in that case or with the PVC also.

They are purpose/engineered in a complete system, or a specialized mfg, like HAWK. To be clear, there are real upgrades out there that can perform better than stock. The same goes for the $49 "lifetime ceramic magic pads". You're not going to replace them for $20 with anything but garbage.

What about the chain? Should I order extras? On a 1:1 bike the chain stretches, every 400 miles or so it's gotta get tightened. Once the bike rolls the gyro effect from the front tires should keep it upright like on a 1:1. I'm trying to figure out what you mean by a helicopter on the ground? I fly helis and that's like balancing a ball bearing or marble on a flat piece of glass. I have a 6800 kv brushless laying around that I'll put in once I get a hang of it. Venom has most of the ugrades in stock and I'll get the front brake from Tower. Let me know if that front brake is available now and I'll order tomorrow.Ĭool! Ya I'm gonna order it. I don't even use the rear brakes on a 1:1 except for balancing wheelies. There's no way you can stop a bike fast enough with just rear brakes. The problem I have now is that my LHS don't have any upgrades not even tires, which is one of the most important hop ups, so my question for Venomous is, on the venom website it says the front brakes aren't available yet what's up with that? How is the bike suppose to stop? A motorcycles brakes are 70% front 30% rear. I'd get the more expensive ones but they're not gixxers, and I'm sick of nitros. Take the motorcycle safety foundation class for $60 and I promise you will get a better understanding of their physics. Shortening the rake will make it more flickable, but less stable at high speeds. Unless U have a leperchaun riding it that's your turning radius. On 1:1 bikes we counter weight for sharp turns like u-turns. I've been riding for a long time and there's no way you can make it turn sharp at speed, you're limited to how far the bike will lean without scraping the rearsets or exhaust. From what I've read here people are having probs with turning. From looking at it I think I can tune it enough to suit me. As with most new things that come out there will be problems. I just saw one of these at my LHS, pretty freakin sweet! I'm doing a little research before I buy & it looks like they may have some problems from what I'm reading here. 12/15/2023 0 Comments Boxer dog black spotsUnfortunately, these spots can be an indicator of melanoma cancer, but this is not always the case.

Trauma: When a dog undergoes trauma to a certain body part, either from an injury or surgery, they might experience hyperpigmentation.Some of the more common reasons why black spots might appear on your dog are: First, consider if there have been any changes in their diets, behaviors, medications, or life that might be causing added stress or discomfort.

Is Hyperpigmentation a Primary or Secondary Condition? ![]() When your dog is experiencing other symptoms along with hyperpigmentation, consult with your veterinarian to find out about underlying conditions. It’s completely random and might be dependent on the kind of dog and the specific situation. Some dogs experience hyperpigmentation that is moist, and others experience black spots that are very dry.

By following these steps, you should be able to add the acid in a safe manner. Before you do so, it’s recommended that you carefully read the following steps that are required for properly adding muriatic acid to the pool. If you believe that the water chemistry in your pool isn’t correctly balanced, you may need to add some muriatic acid to lower the pH levels. Balancing pH levels in your pool water should give you peace of mind that your pool is clean. ![]() These deposits can damage the equipment around your pool, which can make for expensive repairs. High pH levels can cause scaling to occur as well, which refers to the buildup of calcium deposits in the pool water. The chlorine in the water will also be less effective, which means that it will be more difficult to keep your pool clean. For instance, the water in your pool can become cloudy if it has a high pH reading. While alkaline water isn’t as dangerous to your health as highly acidic water, it can create issues that you should avoid if possible. ![]() If the water in your pool reaches a pH level that’s higher than 7.8, this means that the water has become too alkaline. However, water becoming too alkaline may be even more problematic. If the pH levels drop below this number, the water has become acidic, which can introduce a wide range of problems to your pool water. The proper pH level ranges from 7.2-7.8, which means that the water is effectively balanced. It’s important to add muriatic acid to your pool because it can help you balance pH levels when they have reached levels that are too high. Why Should You Add Muriatic Acid to Your Pool? If this acid gets onto your skin, it will cause severe burns. However, the corrosive nature of muriatic acid is also what makes it dangerous to use if you’re unsure of what you’re doing. As such, it’s effective at reducing the pH of water. For instance, muriatic acid can corrode everything from clothing and carpet to metals and plastics. This acid is beneficial because of its highly corrosive properties. Muriatic acid is a special type of acid that’s considered to be a less-pure and somewhat diluted version of hydrochloric acid. This article goes into detail about what it takes to safely add muriatic acid to your pool. Because of how corrosive muriatic acid can be, you should know exactly how to use it before you add it to your pool water.

Neither am I here to worship Fuji and claim they can do no wrong. Their products have issues, but their products that I use are still the best tools for the job, IMHO. I'm not here to worship Adobe and claim they can do no wrong. Maybe because they have the most to be defensive about? And I've absolutely noticed a pattern: the folk who are the most stridently anti-"pixel peeping" are the Fuji shooters who use Adobe products. But I have hung out in a lot of forums for different brands for many years. Sure, not the 40-50 years that some of you have under your belts. I've shot Fuji for 6 years, and Nikon for 10. And if every time you do this you see flaws in your image caused by your raw processor, not by your camera or lens, then you have a right to be frustrated, and anyone who casually dismisses you as a "pixel peeper" who "doesn't know LR well" or who takes "crappy photos" should no longer be trusted or respected. The fact is there's a number of totally normal, respectable tasks that are often better done by zooming to 100% or more. Pixel peeping crappy photos? Yes, some people prefer to denigrate totally normal tasks that are part of working on any image as "pixel peeping." Given that Adobe itself recommends reviewing sharpening at 100% or greater zoom, I find those dismissals quite humorous and akin to " if you don't look closely, you won't see Adobe's flaws." I expect better from someone who has gone out of their way to label themselves as a "Community Professional." This is incredibly insulting and conspiratorial. To be fair on Fujifilm, this workflow (without the Iridient XTrans bit) is what I do on photos from any camera, that get published or supplied, so it's not just an issue with the Fujifilm cameras. I then save that file and it will now appear in Lightroom (as a 16bit proPhoto Tiff in my workflow) which is a very tidy clean file compared to the scrappiness of the LR sharpened original Fuji-X raw. I also may continue doing more image-work in layers there until I have the file I need. If a file needs to be used at a higher specification, such as for a commercial client or for a large print, then I will use Iridient XTrans (for the Xpro's files) and then turn the sharpening off in Lightroom, then Edit with Open in Photoshop as a Smart Object, then Smart sharpen in PS using the much more nuanced sliders there. ![]() I personally always set Detail to 0 for any camera but with Fuji (non-Bayer) files definitely 0, every time.įor my Fuji cameras (XPro2 and GFX50R) I import uncompressed raws and process in LR as normal. ![]() Absolutely agree with lowering the detail slider. |
