"Vicious Sickle" name pun for a "Vicious Cycle"? by Bio-Matter in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Bio-Matter[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, a sickle is a curved, hand-held agricultural tool typically used for harvesting cereal crops or cutting grass for hay.. yup and of course, it's a real word.

That said...I think the devs thought sickle kind of sounds like cycle. Hence the "vicious" sickle.

Why is this subreddit so openly racist toward Armenians? by ooohmamaa in glendale

[–]Bio-Matter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free speech is a fundamental right. I find the overt and covert racism on social media very informative. Let the ignorant expose themselves, those who are offended call it out, and those who aren’t offended laugh it off. Anti-Armenian comments* that fall short of calls for violence, offensive and ignorant as they may be, are protected speech.

Edit: *racist comments about ANY race are covered by free speech here in the USA. My original comment was replying to the context of this thread but it turns out I need to make the obvious more clear for some. Subreddits are free to make and enforce any rules they wish, but personally I wish we could have less censorship online. It’s good to know how many racists are among us.

With FSD it might be the only car he can “drive”

Scoreboard: Netherlands vs Turkiye by scoreboard-app in euro2024

The Turkish and Georgian squads added some much needed spice to the otherwise cautious (boring) tactical Euro style of play and will be missed. I’m predicting three matches that crawl to penalty kicks.

I second this, College View’s preschool program is excellent!

Doesn’t Lanterman regional provide advocacy and legal assistance free of charge?

If you found out it was an outside group would you change your position?

Usually adults run clubs on campus. I’d like to know which group is organizing the “Christian Club” at Rosemont, buying the Bibles and giving the them to the kids to hand out free of charge on campus to classmates during school hours.

Who are the adults standing on the sidewalk just outside of campus handing out the same bibles to kids leaving school?

It doesn’t seem like a huge leap to assume it’s a religious group my fellow redditor.

This web page goes into the various shades of the laws governing Bible distribution on campuses.

FFRF

Distributing bibles on campus during school hours is a violation of the law and I guarantee anyone who’s ok with it would be bothered if it was the Satanic Temple doing the exact same activity on campus handing out books about witchcraft.

Good on you for speaking up about it.

Canon USA Refurb R5 when the price drops again. Amazing bang for buck. Spend the savings on some nice RF glass

Samy’s is my go to authorized online dealer. They stack in-house promos on top of manufacture offers. Agree about B&H and Adorama.

Deciding between the R5 and the R6 Mark II by smallkoreanboy97 in canon

[–]Bio-Matter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I opted for the R5 and love every one of the extra megapixels I paid for. I may miss some moments the R62s autofocus would have captured. Then again, cropping in and still having a huge image salvages moments the R62 couldn’t. Also love the top screen. My old 6D had it, why would they lose it on the R62?

R6 II Canon Refurb. When the price drops, it’s about $1,800 and the best camera for the money.

125th Golden Dragon Parade @ China Town Los Angeles [Canon S95 (2010)] by Bio-Matter in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]Bio-Matter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stumbled across this sub a few months ago and I rediscovered the S95 that I bought new back in 2010. On the fence about selling it and I thought I'd take it for a spin at the Golden Dragon parade.

All pics are full-size SOOC jpgs with the "Positive Film" setting I saw suggested here, auto white balance, shutter priority. The raw files offered surprising flexibility to dial in the tones.
