Hello, I'm looking to sell my m4/3 camera equipment and get out of the hobby. My photo equipment just exceeds my needs and ability.

Is there any recommended way or place to sell gear? I've thought about eBay but I've heard horror stories that turn me off. Is Amazon any better? I also know there's a subreddit r/photomarket, but I'm also worried about protecting myself as a seller.

Thanks!

Microwave popcorn is loaded with shitty chemicals that has been linked to various cancers and Alzheimer's disease in large amounts.

Microwave popcorn also contains large amounts of calories and fat, 680 calories for a bag of Orville Redenbacher's Movie Butter popcorn.

Instead, use extra virgin coconut oil which will give corn kernels that movie theatre butter taste, and control how many calories go into a serving. It's

I had my external, USB-powered, hard drive plugged into a non-powered USB hub. I also had a USB-to-Optical adapter connected. I then stupidly plugged in my iPhone, and then I heard clicking sounds from the drive. I immediately unplugged the hard drive and dismounted the drive.

When I plugged it back in, it was showing as raw data. I attempted to do a chkdsk /f /r on it, which was going painfully slow on stage 4, but then it completely froze up (I left it running for 24 hours with no more progress at around ~32000 out of 44000 files). I turned off my computer, and tried the same, except this time it froze much earlier.

Is there anything else I can do? I'd be willing to pay for some decent s

I know it's the go-to choice for enterprise, but why do so few of the large websites on the net use ASP.NET, and instead opt for PHP and Perl? There's a few known ones (Microsoft, StackOverflow, PlentyOfFish, MySpace), but relatively, there just don't seem to be that many.

I've worked with all three, and from both a development and design perspective I find ASP.NET so much easier to work with. For what it's worth, I worked with PHP and Perl long before needing to switch to ASP.NET for work.

I noticed that this forum is covered in posts expressing a desire to move out, and the first question many people ask is, how to get a work visa/become a citizen of the destination country. I have to say this is really jumping the gun.

The question before that should be, what decent paying jobs can you get back home? If you can't answer this first question, then you won't get any typical work visa, period.

Subsequently, if you are not likely to qualify for any skilled jobs (as determined by the host country, but the list for these is usually very similar among countries), then your best chance is to go to a country that has a working holiday visa arrangement with your country, where yo

I know about Chrome's security permissions and all that, and for that reason it's worrying that most extensions require access to "your data on all websites," which means that they could theoretically log your passwords and send them to a central server. I understand why they require it, but of course they could easily be used for other purposes as well.

So my question is - how can we know for sure that an extension is safe? Is the source code for all extensions publicly available, and are they reviewed or monitored by anyone? On a Google discussions post, a Google employee said use extensions that are popular, because if others trust it, then it must be trustworthy! That to me sounds like

It seems like a decent number of people here, for whatever reasons, would like to move in that direction. I'm doing it myself because I generally love European culture and lifestyle (yes, I know that it's very diverse and hard to generalize, but this is just based off my traveling stints and having lived in two very different European countries).

Ireland and the UK, being the only two English-speaking countries in the EU, seem to be my only hope for gainful employment. I speak French after having lived in France for a year, but much of it is gone now to the point that it's not enough to land a job. I assume most people are focusing on these countries for similar language reasons as well.

or what's holding you back from being an expat?

I'm still young, so that is the main issue for me. I have a pretty good job right now for my age, and I want to have a good safety net of experience and money before heading out.

So because I'm still in an early stage here, my issues are really:

  • I want two years experience in my field (IT)
  • I want to have at least 15k saved up, preferably 20k. This is not including my emergency savings or retirement savings.
  • Distant third would be finding someone to take over my rental lease

I'm currently holding 100 SPY and I believe the index will drop during this month over fears of the debt ceiling, but ultimately it will be passed and the index will recover.

My goal is to lock in my earnings so far, and if possible, make some extra money if the market goes down. I also want to keep the position in the long run.

However, I don't want to sell the shares outright because I'd have to pay capital gains tax on what I've earned so far, something I'd like to defer until retirement.

To get around this, I'm thinking to short 100 SPY, and then cover my short if it drops by say, 2% during the next month, and hence make some extra coin. If it doesn't, I'll still cover my short by mid
