I've grown leaks in SE MI, which was recently reclassified as 6a, as a spring into summer crop from seeds started indoors. I didn't have any problems with health or yeild. Haven't tried them as a fall into winter crop.
Like all things produce, "Leak" is a family with different members being more cold tolerant than others. It looks like 20 °F is the floor, but dropping below freezing can do damage.

I was able to find a post of this image daring back to 2023.
Doesn't mean it's not AI, just means it's a lot less likely.
The coaster is shivering timbers at Michigan's adventure.
I've had two printers: a monoprice branded wanhao i3 plus and a Voron 2.4. The wanhao was pretty heavily modified. I guess any Voron winds up being somewhat modified, but the mods I've installed on it have all been quality of life related.
3D printing tends to involve some level of tinkering, but it was nice to shift from the wanhao to the Voron. The Voron is a start it and forget it printer. Even if I wasn't replacing parts or modifying the wanhao it took a lot more fiddling for things like bed leveling.
Oh, I wasn't the person who asked about the lens. I was only chiming in to agree on the weight factor.
And yes, agree on actually using the hood for exactly the reason you said. It's nice to be able to put the good directly against a something like a chain link fence without having to worry about the front element.
Agree on both the weight and ISO fronts. It looks like the 200-800 is 2,050 grams. I use a Tamron 150-500, which weighs in at 1,870 or so grams.
I am vaguely fit in the 'I worked out nearly 20 years ago and am now a Dad' kind of way. I can hand hold the lens, and have for the occasional half inning of youth baseball, but I greatly prefer sitting on the ground and using a knee as a makeshift monopod. My personal weight threshold for hand holding seems to be around a kilogram. It's too bad Sony's 70-200 2.8 ii plus 2x teleconverter doesn't hold up to the 150-500 in terms of image quality.
Youth sports tend not to be well shaded, but I still see 1,000+ ISO pretty frequently.
Do get a hood
Does it not come with one?
When Sony launched the e-mount a lot of their top tier glass was co-branded with Sony and Zeiss logos. Example. They've been making optics since the 1840s
I've seen Robbins around our lawn sprinkler before... I'll have to keep my camera more handy in case they show up again
This is a vaguely arty shot I took with my A9ii when I was renting the 70-200 f/2.8.

I have a cheap/quick/dirty deer and rabbit fence around our vegetable garden. The doors are simple PVC squares with deer netting that used to attach to the fence via hooks at the top. This design turned out to be very fiddly. The new design seems much easier to manage - simply drop the door section into its slot.
I took this a few months ago through one of our windows. I have a small backlog of photos to get through and hope to do one a day, but some of them might show up on [email protected].
A9ii w/ Tamron 150-500 @ 374 mm, 1/250, f/5.6, ISO 200. Cropped some.
No idea what's going on / it's the first time its flowers have ever looked this way. I personally think it's kind of neat.
Raspberries are escaping their raised bed after two years :( I really don't want them to spread beyond it. what to do? Bury a tarp under the mulch? Dig a trench around the bed? Roundup?
One more picture below.
Behold, rebar clamps to give my veggies a nice climbing structure.
They're 3 total parts and are held together heat sets and bolts.
At first I thought you meant one casino three times. It looks like it was three different casinos with one bankruptcy each. I am not sure which is worse...
The tension between exquisite craftsmenship, gaudy, and hoarding is amazing. Every single wall is lined with things, nothing really flows together, and it's super obvious that the people who built this place, along with a lot of the furniture, were very skilled.
TIL. From Wikipedia:
On April 8, 2019, private equity firm Great Hill Partners acquired Gizmodo Media Group—including The Onion, The A.V. Club, and Clickhole—from Univision for an undisclosed amount.[148] The properties were formed into a new company named G/O Media Inc.[149][150] In March 2024, G/O sold The A.V. Club to Paste Magazine and was reported to be seeking buyers for The Onion.[151]
On April 25, 2024, CEO Jim Spanfeller told employees that G/O had sold The Onion to Chicago firm Global Tetrahedron, which is owned by Twilio founder Jeff Lawson, with former NBC reporter Ben Collins serving as CEO.[152] As a condition of the deal, the new owners will retain the website's staff and keep it based in Chicago.[153] The name "Global Tetrahedron" is taken from a "fictional evil megacorporation" that has been the subject of a running gag in The Onion articles.[154]
Yup:
The boy, identified only as Landen, was 5 when Emmanuel Aranda threw him nearly 40 feet to the ground. Aranda, who had been banned from the Bloomington, Minnesota, mall twice in previous years, told investigators that when went there “looking for someone to kill” after women rejected his advances.
The guy sounds like a real winner.
Thanks, fixed!
