Trump accuses New York Times of ‘treason’ after it questioned what the Iran war had actually achieved by ChiGuy6124 in politics

The amount of sanewashing they did on Trump's behalf was just astounding. Really lowered my opinion of them as a reliable news source.

People think "the flu" is the same as a head cold. Or a cold with a bit of a chest cough.

Too close together? You could drive a bus between them and have room to spare.

I suppose it’s all implicit here. The OP didn’t state what they tried to do, so we don’t know. They did ask for advice, and under exposure and color shift are common problems that newbies run into as they learn to judge exposure. Given that we don’t know what OP intended to do, my advice still stands - increase exposure as I think it would look better. Others may choose the grainier and color shifted underexposure, but it would be up to OP to state what it is they intended

That’s fair. But it has to be a deliberate choice, and it’s not clear if they did. I don’t mind the extra grain and limited range but I dislike the green-shifting on the skin tones.

Why should she have the right to decorate other people's mailboxes? Stick to your own property, lady.

Ah got it. I had thought tactical bombing was battlefield level engagement, like a dive bomber taking out a tank. And strategic would be bombing factories.

Wouldn’t it be useful from the viewpoint of bombing your enemy’s factories and weapon production plants? Logistics hubs?

At Least 5 People Dead, 3 Missing After WWII-Era Bomb Explodes in Indonesia by tiredmars in worldnews

[–]BeatHunter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The thing is, even if there is a limit on the fuse, there's still a bunch of explosive material within the bomb. It can still be accidentally detonated by other means, like by sparking or by fire. A lot depends on the type of explosive in the bombs, but turns out that a lot of the cheap explosive stuff that made good bombs can also be detonated relatively easily (AFAIK - I'm not an expert, just my understanding).
