I make stuff and sometimes it works. One half of @ZAGGStudios.

@WxShaw I test a lot of tap water as part of my day job. You should take this down. TDS is not a valid measurement of contamination. Also, it’s rare I see water from a NEO city water source that I would consider “good” before the train derailment.

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@leeloowrites @FlannelToLace No problem! One LLC with multiple DBAs is definitely the easier option, as most of the “work” only has to be done once. Setting up a new DBA is a easy process (at least in Ohio), & makes it easier to add products/services with their own branding.

I wish I did it sooner.

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@FlannelToLace @leeloowrites Oh, and keep in mind that a single member LLC doesn’t really offer significant protection beyond a sole proprietorship in many cases. So even multiple or series LLCs don’t solve every issue. 🤷‍♂️

3/2 (apparently I had more to say than I thought 🙃)

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@FlannelToLace @leeloowrites If anything gets big enough running as a DBA under that LLC, then I’ll spin it out into its own entity. There are pros and cons to both approaches. Also consider a series LLC.

Everything is less siloed with the DBA method, which can be bad if one of them is high risk. 2/2

@JemKegawa @FlannelToLace @LunaDisplayHQ Within reason, pick any decent quality monitor you want and calibrate it with a @calibritecolor ColorChecker Display Pro or Display Plus

@sempf If it wasn’t downloaded through the App Store, you’ll need a provisioning profile to install before the IPA. The provisioning profile basically opens a hole in the gatekeeper to allow install of the side loaded app.

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@sempf Did the person who supplied the app also supply a provisioning profile?

@FlannelToLace @danbarbera They may not win a spec sheet battle, but I don’t run into to many Fuji shooters that would be willing to switch to another platform. The Fuji love is real. 4/4

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@FlannelToLace @danbarbera Low light performance was fine. It helps that Fuji makes so rather fast glass, and with the massive difference in size from shooting full frame Canons, I was sold... and that was with one of the cheapest cameras in Fuji’s lineup. 🤷‍♂️ 3/?

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@FlannelToLace @danbarbera I had a little apprehension about going back to a crop sensor, but we started on crop sensor Canons. So I knew I might see a little different in low light, but that was about it. After shooting a X-T100, all of my concerns went out the window. 2/?

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@FlannelToLace @danbarbera I’m a big fan of Fuji’s X Series. I have one as my personal/“just for fun” digital camera. Personally, I’ll like to jump ship from@our current Canon equipment, before it loses value for not being mirrorless. 1/?

@SwiftOnSecurity Is it time for corn tweets? That’s my favorite time of year!

It’s morning in America.

@RutledgeWood @NASCARonNBC Who cares about what I'd do for a @Klondikebar, I'd do some ridiculous stuff for an Indy brick!

Who does this protect?

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@Ohio_BMV Any way to check on the status of a temp tag? I applied for a temp tag, as I have no way to register my new vehicle for the first time, and it’s been 10 business days since I paid for the temp tag. Thanks!

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@greghuber Did you find that on Thingiverse?

[Matt Hopkins @Hopkins_Matt]

@greghuber @codemash @FlannelToLace just found one the other day too. 😂

Unless you are living under a rock or have already perished from COVID-19, you've likely seen a YouTube video making the rounds where a medical doctor (wearing scrubs!) purports to give COVID-19 advice. (1/33)
