Why is there no consistence across editing softwares when using custom white balance in-camera? Hello, I set my Custom white balance to 5300K in my camera settings yet when importing them into Capture One I noticed that it said “5056K” instead and so I decided to check with other programs and none of them got the correct white balance, except for Fujifilm X RAW Studio.

I use one credit card for most all of my expenses, and I finally have gotten to a point where I can carry a zero dollar balance.

( www.reddit.com )

I use one credit card for most all of my expenses, and I finally have gotten to a point where I can carry a zero dollar balance. But I’ve heard that one should always carry some balance versus paying off a card completely. Can someone please flesh this out a bit more in lay terms? ETA – I guess this was so easy that I thought it was hard 🤣 Don’t carry a balance. Got it. Appreciate the clarification 🤘 submitted by /u/a_Vertigo_Guy

( www.reddit.com )

Question with avalanche and 0% balance transfer credit cards. I’ve been paying down debt (thanks to this sub!) using the avalanche method with 2 credit cards and a small home improvement loan. Both cards had the same interest rate at 28%, one was for $5k and the other $7.5k. The loan only has 3k left on it with an 8% interest rate, so it’s last. Considering both cards had the same interest rate, I was work…

Visa Gift Card Balance gone 3 days after purchase Hello, I just decided to use my 100$ Visa card I had bought back in May right now. I checked the balance and turns out 3 days after I had activated it (bought at target), all the money had been used at CVS. I had never typed the card anywhere, and it had remained in my wallet, so I don’t know how the hell this happened. Is there anything I could…

Mortgage was paid off and I received a check for the escrow balance. Will I pay full property taxes at the end of the year?

( www.reddit.com )

Mortgage was paid off and I received a check for the escrow balance. Will I pay full property taxes at the end of the year? In short, I am wondering if property taxes are partially paid during the year through escrow, or are they always paid once at the end of the year? In other words, since I paid off the mortgage mid-year and received the check for the escrow balance, will I still need to pay the full property tax bill come January? submitted by /u/nate6259…
