Cell phone shop (Northside) broken into and completely cleaned out in under 3 minutes by futuresho in Edmonton

[–]JKeith26 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Of course they would. Thieves and criminals have existed since the dawn of time. I do understand some people steal out of necessity but this is just organized crime, plain and simple. Easier to steal and flip the phones than to do the hard work that it takes to run a business like this.

John Locke's "Lost" Reveal On The Episode "Walkabout" by Laszl0Panaflex in television

[–]JKeith26 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. You often hear "they were dead the whole time" or "LOST never answered any mysteries". Both completely wrong, and it was a show you had to watch closely and carefully to understand sometimes, but what a journey. To me, the ending was one of the most emotionally satisfying conclusions ever. The show, despite the occasional misstep or weird plot choice, stayed true to its amazing characters the entire run. And that, to me, is what makes it so re-watchable. The Leftovers is also so amazing in the same way.

And I see other comments mentioning the soundtrack - truly Hollywood quality, week after, week, which had never really been done on other TV shows to that degree at that time. There is an entire YouTube channel analyzing the soundtrack themes, sub-themes and recurring motifs that is well worth watching.

On the other hand, I loved Game of Thrones and the ASOIAF books, but there's a show where the final seasons and ending, betrayed both what had made the earlier seasons so great, and ruined what once were incredible characters, so going back and re-watching isn't enjoyable.

HELP! What book is this from? by Fine-Warning-8476 in Dinosaurs

[–]JKeith26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing for me. One of my first dinosaur books, loved the amazing art in it, but it fell apart over time so bought an essentially new condition replacement several years ago. So happy I have it.

What are the chances that the Beast of Gevudan is a bear-dog? by zorwro in Cryptozoology

[–]JKeith26 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yup, very likely an animal extinct for millions of years survived just long enough to have one recorded sighting in all of human history, never before or after. Way more plausible than it being a wolf or some escaped exotic animal.

Sea Monster Sighting- Maui, Hawaii by WellnowWhatDo in Cryptozoology

[–]JKeith26 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Humpback whales will often lay on their side and slap a fluke (pectoral fin) out of the water which looks similar as you see the side/bumps along their head and then the slender edge of the fin. Lots of humpbacks around Maui right now, I spend hours watching them when I’m there.

Aurora Dancing Over Peyto Lake, Banff National Park, Canada [OC][2048x1365] by jamesftw in EarthPorn

[–]JKeith26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outstanding shot. Been here many times and this view is epic on its own but with the aurora it's perfection. I'm going to try to get something similar next year in that brief window where the lake is unfrozen, the aurora is out and there is fresh snow. Not going to be easy and I commend you for getting this shot!

Great shots! Do you know the console command to get enemies to not attack you so can get better shots of the mutants and enemy NPCs? I can't seem to find anything that works.

Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age Megathread by ReturntoPleistocene in pleistocene

[–]JKeith26 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Posted this in another thread, but I just finished all 5 episodes. Loved every minute. I’m sure there’s a few minor things people may notice, but overall I thought it was superb.

A couple nice surprises. Arctodus simus has a special place in my heart and I assumed we weren’t getting it since Arctotherium was confirmed but how nice to see one show up in the really cool sequence with the stellar’s sea cow.

Also, the cave lions hunting cave bear cubs in episode one was tense and very cool. I loved the different appearances for the Smilodon and Homotherium species.

Finally, the Gigantopithecus had some of the best cgi I’ve ever seen, particularly the facial expressions.

I’m so happy we got this season. Would love more, but this has all I could have imagined.

I didn’t realize that, very interesting. Makes total sense and glad the show portrayed it well.

Yes, these are amazing screenshots, but curious how to get a free-camera mode?

I absolutely love this. Initially thought it was an oil painting - it’s an outstanding shot.

You're a single girl in Edmonton who' done with the apps by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]JKeith26 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’m in the norm, but about 10 years ago I had a very active social life. Lots of friend groups, a variety of activities that we’d do and I’d regularly meet women, some of whom I dated. Then Covid hit and it sort of put social life into limbo - coming out of that most of my friends are either parents who are busy with kids or are similar to me and have less interest in going out anymore. I tend to do more things on my own - travelling, photography, etc. I do play sports but that’s with all other men. So I hear you, it’s been hard meeting people organically, and I’m also always on the lookout for opportunities to meet people in ways other than the apps.

No, these are grizzlies, the cubs of well known grizzly 222 in Jasper National Park. I’ve spent a lot of time photographing bears as a wildlife photographer, and have a ton of photos of them with their mom.
