I think that's because the US isn't so strong anymore and became a butt of jokes.

Nikon Refurb

niteman3d wrote:

I can only speak for the US as Nikon has other sites for other parts of the world, but if you go to the nikonusa website and click on the 'Refurbished' button, there is a 4-day sale. Do these look like some of the best prices I've seen from them in a long time or is it just my imagination?? For example, D850 for under two grand. What say you? (It's under the 'Deals' tab.)

THANK YOU!

Cropped vs Uncropped ?

I like the uncropped version better because it shows perspective.

I was told by some birders that were there that this is a Red-Tailed Hawk.
Unfortunately you can't see his tail.

I recognize the rare Green-Tailed Hawk.

When you say Let's just hope Stanford's "suggestion" doesn't catch on and we can all remain Americans. don’t forget you are posting to an international forum and we are NOT all Americans.

"don’t forget you are posting to an international forum and" those of us who "are NOT all Americans" are aware of that, OK?

I can't upgrade to Windows 11

I tried twice but it kept returning to Windows 10 saying it run into some kind of problem.
My laptop is quite new I got it in April this year.
It has the 11th generation I7, 32GB RAM, Nvidia RTX2000 GPU with 4GB of RAM. 1TB of SSD. 2560x1600 16" screen.

The 5/8 screen format seems unusual to me, but even if true, would it matter?

No Starbucks for Me

I am NOT a Starbuck's fan, but would be remiss not to point out that they have MANY different sources, blends and roasts of coffee. While their prices are outrageously high, it is totally unfair to condemn the quality of their product on one sample - or even a few. For many years I have been extremely selective of the coffee I will use, and critical of almost all of what is available - anywhere - at any price.
