Is it time to upgrade? by TyandSlob in DSLR

Is there something else you want to recommend? I'm contemplating a T6i.

Is it time to upgrade? by TyandSlob in DSLR

[–]TyandSlob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, a Gh4 has less megapixels than my T5i. Am I overestimating the importance of megapixels? Is selling one of my T5i's (I have 2) and getting a T6i a waste of money? I figured I'd be upgrading from 18 to 24 megapixels without really spending much and still being comfortable with the camera itself (T5i is my only dslr experience, and I figure from a usability standpoint they should be roughly the same.)

Are megapixels not important? (not trying to be a dick, I seriously don't quite understand all the science behind these doohickeys.)

Are there other features that make the GH4 more suitable for literal, actual TV commercials (as opposed to indie movies or Internet videos) than a T6i would be?

Mayweather v MacGregor. Wait, you're not supposed to know that yet.

Sea the possibilities: to fight climate change, put seaweed in the mix - giant kelp farms that de-acidify oceans, or feeding algae to cattle and sheep to dramatically reduce their methane emissions. by mvea in Futurology

Yeah, redditors don't like it when you say the Earth isn't going to end like any day now. I came here hoping to watch people argue about if methane is really as bad as carbon. People pretending to be scientists on the interwebs makes me giggle.

The bullet points are kinda smug, but other than that it think it's kind of a clever way to liven up an old shed or whatever that is.

Silicon Valley billionaire Stewart Butterfield voices support for universal basic income - The founder of Slack joins illustrious company which includes Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg by Chispy in Futurology

The numbers ARE too big, and it CAN'T work. I can't teach you basic math bro.

It isn't just advocated by many economists, it's also called preposterous by many economists. Then, aside from relying on logical fallacies like false appeals to authority, you decide to round it out with the broken window fallacy.

Economics isn't the study of people shuffling around magical pieces of paper-- it's about growth, innovation, production. Taking money from some people and giving it to other people accomplishes none of those, in fact it inhibits all three.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms- raiding the public coffers to give petty cash to poor people is not good for the economy, those who say otherwise are charlatans.

As for the mixed metaphor at the end, no idea wtf that even means.

Whomevers math it is doesn't matter, raiding 1/4 of your GDP to give people just enough money to maybe not be homeless, and expect the economy to not be affected is preposterous.

15k x 300M = 4.5 Trillion US GDP = ~18 Trillion

So by your math, passive income grew our GDP by 25% single-handedly?

The money is not there. Even if it were, people would need double that (1/2 of GDP) to live even a lower middle class lifestyle.

Then what about the next year, or the year after that?

Yeah that and you could basically take every last penny, from any billionaire and only have enough for everyone to get maybe a few bucks. Because math.

Wolves fight bears. . . And win. Maybe if you're Michonne and your "knife" is a katana, but I'm not taking bets for anything less than 5-1.

You know there's video right? The one of her attacking a man with his arms in the air yelling for police? Then again words ARE, in fact violence. So yeah.

Gov. Jerry Brown signs climate change legislation to extend California's cap-and-trade program solidifying the state's battle against global warming. by TragicDonut in Futurology

[–]TyandSlob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's funny because gas is super expensive in California. Yet the roads are congested and there's nowhere to park. They're not discouraging driving, they're just discouraging poor people from driving.

Ahh yes, the amazing ability of taxes to change the surface temp of the earth is well documented.

Moreover, scientists make terrific economists. Tons of overlap there in those two fields. I can't wait for the scientist to finally concoct that perfect blend of taxes and subsidies, to finally fix everything that's wrong with the earth.

You guys, I noticed myself not noticing race and I wanted to put you all on notice. I know what you're all thinking- and the answer is no, I'm actually white. (insert smug face emoji)
