There's a local place here that smokes fish and they get Pacific salmon, it's expensive as hell but worth every penny. They also smoke Mullet and it's disgusting even smoked, I didn't think that was possible.

I keep looking at old Datsun's to buy. Here is what I know about Datsun's: 1. They changed their name to Nissan at some point 2. The Z cars tend to rust. The urge to do something really stupid is getting stronger and stronger.

CommieGIR posted:I cannot eat sushi. Its a texture thing. I will eat rolls all loving day, but I can't do nigiri / sashimi because of this. The closest I can get is there's a local chain of conveyor-belt sushi restaurants that does a roll with crab meat, wrapped in salmon, and topped with avocado, which is loving delicious. Even then I prefer it at one location over the others because they make it smaller, so I'm not trying to wrangle a massive piece of uncooked salmon at once. They also do tempura-battered jalapeno stuffed with crab and topped with spicy mayo / eel sauce. Could eat those all loving day and then die of a heart attack. MustardFacial: Do not buy a 280ZX. Go older, go newer if you dare, but don't get a 280ZX.

I know the place you are talking about and I think it's pretty loving good. Not as good as the stuff in Japan, mind you, but close enough. I've taken my gf and her sons there, everyone liked it better than the other places they had been to before.

They're ok--the main problem is that they're generally poor about keeping things sanitary. Customers frequently place garbage/napkins/ect in the lids and they aren't washed nearly as often as they should be. Also, the fish can end up rotating around on the belt for quite some time before it's eaten by a customer so you can end up eating warm sushi which is A Bad Thing.

Cage posted:Well you're welcome to bring your miata to our c&c. You don't see them as often in buffalo. If everyone who went to a c&c picked one car they didn't want to show up there would be no one there. To be honest the area has a lot to do with it. Here there are tons of exotic owners around, so when 80% of the cars are exotics it's just weird when a bunch of dudes show up in ratty BMWs, especially when it's the McLaren dealer having it on their lot and they're putting all their cars out as well. But I've lived in the Buffalo area and totally get it, you don't see a whole lot of nice cars around to begin with, so I would take what I could get up there. GO BILLS

Fish chat: One redeeming thing about podunk living is I can go down to the local fish house and get fresh (daily) caught fish in any flavor Lake Superior has to offer. Or I can actually make an effort and go smelting in the spring or chase brookies in the summer. The smelt don't run like they used to, but there's still some prime Brook trout fishing. Fresh caught pan fried brookies > any other seafood.

I've gone 26 years without eating that poo poo, ain't gonna change now. But yeah, a fair bit of it here is battered and deep fried, which is even more rank than just cooking it by other means. I'd be hosed if i got stuck on a desert island and the only food would be fish if i caught it. I'd just (willingly) starve and die. We do have some good food here though!

What gets most people about sushi, in my experience, is the rice. It does have a flavor that takes getting used to, and I still don't think it's a very complimentary flavor to fish. Sashimi, on the other hand, all day e'rry day.

Love the conveyor sushi places, but it's way too easy for me to rack up 30 bucks of sushi on my own. Question: If someone says, "Hey, we're going to eat at [place], wanna tag along?" Do you expect them to pay?

I'm going to install a back-up alarm in everything i own. It has the same effect as honking the horn to get people to move out of the way, but doesn't piss them off or make you look like an rear end in a top hat. If you honk the horn at people standing behind you in the parking lot, you look like an impatient jerk. Put it in reverse and it starts beeping, that's a safety feature, you're being safe and they move out of the way without even really thinking about it.

Somewhat Heroic posted:Why do I have a sudden urge to buy a hot full-frame camera and expensive glass in front if it? I just want all the prime lenses. I am sure that my T5i and 50mm lens are holding me back because I am some sort of great master. I just know that it will be limiting to me eventually. Plus being able to be closer to a subject with a full frame camera would be nice. If we didn't just spend tens of thousands of dollars finishing our basement I would probably try and justify a new 5DS or something. I'm kind of the same way, I'm constantly talking myself out of buying a 105mm Nikon macro lens for taking pictures of my model boat project, when the kit lenses are taking perfectly good pictures of it already. That lens costs more than the complete body with 2 lens kit, flash, remote, spare battery and tripod that I already have.

Have you tried the happy hour menu at Kibuki?

No idea if that's the sort of thing you want though. QuarkMartial posted:Question: If someone says, "Hey, we're going to eat at [place], wanna tag along?" Do you expect them to pay?

Still retain autofocus ability as well, though when doing macro I usually stick with manual because extension tubes make your focal range super narrow.

280Z is fine. 280ZX makes less power, weighs more, has an overly complex interior, has an awful fuel injection setup, and an awful ignition setup. Both are unreliable and lovely even when working. If you wanted to gut the whole loving thing it might be better but at that point you could do the same to a 280Z and still have a better car.

I (think) I recognize those model ship photos from the Scale Modelling thread! That's one of the kits where you have to cut and hand lay all the planking, right?

Pham Nuwen posted:The camera body is probably not holding you back, but on a crop-frame camera a 35mm prime will be closer to the "nifty-fifty" feel, if that makes sense... That is, where you'd use a 50mm on a regular full-frame film SLR, on a crop frame DSLR you should use 35mm. Thanks for the tip, I'll check into one and it makes sense how it would be more like a proper fifty. Good to know others are on a similar level. I spent some time lurking the dorkroom the other day and there are some really talented folks. I'd like to get to a level that I would feel comfortable sharing some stuff and looked more like I knew what I was doing. I picked up my camera last year after my son was born and being dissatisfied with the status quo iPhone pics for everything. I've had flashes of brilliance here and there but not quite to the level I want yet. I need to get a quality photo editing software and figure that out too. I might go for Lightroom since I have the iMac.
