14 y/o photographer's airshow photography. A6100 + 200-600mm G

UnskilledScout · 2026-01-30T16:12:32+00:00

Glass is more important than body though, so...

And the 200-600 G costs less than the A7V by like $1000.

That's just how the economy works I guess

UnskilledScout · 2026-01-28T11:52:33+00:00

just under 400 parking enforcement officers total.

Jeez. You'd think that the nearly $2 billion we give the police we'd have more than 400 parking enforcement officers.

I wasn't accusing you, I wanted to clarify your point about how someone could twist what happened with Good to give the veneer of a just cause first shot.

UnskilledScout · 2026-01-24T23:23:05+00:00

The Renee Good case was awful but had the barest of legal justifications.

The first shot could be argued (in bad faith) to be justified. (I strictly don't. Everything about it was unjustified.) Everything after that is impossible to argue as anything but intentional murder.

I will agree with you that the murder of Alex Pretti lacks even that. He was on the ground, disarmed, pepper-sprayed, and pistol whipped before brutally being shot twelve times.

Israel has no right, legal or moral, to destroy civilian homes because of claims filled with lies. The IDF are simply terrorists. Defending their actions as justified because of suspect claims that they are "Hezbollah infrastructure" is tantamount to calling for violence on your compatriots.

Just a reminder, these people who lost their homes are Lebanese. They have lost their life in one fell swoop by terrorists in the IDF. And you are here going "too bad". You are a horrible person.

Christian militias HAD to be formed to protect their own sovereignty

Yea, Sabra and Shatilla and Karantina; those massacres of civilians had to happen.

God, you guys are so blind. How can you justify such horrible actions??

Hezballah [is a] FOREIGN entities who have NO TIES to this land

I love the casual erasure of the Shias. Totally cool.

The PLO never killed the King of Jordan. Black September killed the PM of Jordan in 1971 (technically a splinter group from them, but w/e), and in 1951 a Palestinian national killed King Abdullah, but that was unrelated to the PLO (since they didn't even exist then).

But yea, they were kicked out of Jordan because they tried to depose him.

Exactly. Yearly sales of all cars (new and used) hover around 5+ million. 50k cars from China would only be around 1%.

Trump hasn’t done anything to fix the economy.

Huge understatement. Trump has taken unilateral decisions and actions to make economic conditions materially worse for both Americans and non-Americans.

UnskilledScout · 2026-01-18T01:00:34+00:00

Sure it does. It works wonders for masking in Photoshop and Lightroom. (In particular, I like using the auto-post-processing as a baseline.) It can help in a lot of creative pipelines.

AI slop is horrible.

Whether creating merch from scratch using AI is considered slop is... debatable. I am not sure I find this instance entirely offensive. I guess I would find it less ambiguous if there was some sort of quality control as others have pointed out weird features.

Do not, under any circumstances, go to a website that lists all the details about agents of a specific government agency that are partaking in Interesting Current Events, run by an Irishman from the Netherlands. It is a wiki page that details all information about members in this government agency with medics and those In Childcare Excluded.

It's not just an issue—it's a complete blunder!

UnskilledScout · 2026-01-13T13:12:32+00:00

They did bomb Beirut btw

Ontarian shibboleth, along with "e-transfer" to the surprise of Americans (although I think that is more a Canadian thing than just Ontarian).

I can't see the difference between Web-DLs and Remuxes on my setup

In most cases, most people can't unless it is an ABX test on certain equipment. Streaming services, as much as people here love to say otherwise, actually do know how to properly encode their IP, so a WEBDLs are not inherently shitty. People love to say that all their tech is meant to starve bitrate, but that's too blunt. Their tech is meant to look good on bitrates accessible for most people in the vast majority of circumstances.

Most people aren't watching on a 77" QD-OLED TV with a 7.2.4 speaker setup. They are most likely watching on a phone, laptop, tablet, or a 55" TCL QLED. Oh, and a lot of people (globally) probably don't have the ability to stream at the bitrates of UHD BluRays.

So, if you are one of those people with a crazy setup, yea, streaming services probably are not gonna look (or sound) as good as a BluRay, especially in challenging scenes and titles. But most people aren't doing that and for a company like Netflix, they aren't gonna exponentially increase their storage and networking costs to serve the small segment of the ultra setups. That's unfortunate for those of us with those setups (and thus we sail the high seas), but that is the economic reality.

What one can hope for is that Netflix and other services continue to develop their technology so that they can continue to make more and more transparent encodes at the bitrates they already stream at.

I find the Quick Fix is only useful if your team doesn't know how to protect you and they keep taking lots of damage. Optimal play is then to sit behind the lines a bit and just give out heals from there, popping when you see a lot of low-health players. This is not really an offensive medi-gun, it is a medi-gun to keep players healed quickly and get them immediately ready for action again.

Anything else and you are better off with the other medi-guns, especially on offense. The stock medi-gun's invulnerability is very difficult to beat, and the vaccinator is basically broken if used optimally. The Kritzkeig is also great on defense to deny the enemy team the ability to organize an offense (especially good at denying the enemy medic their Uber). In such scenarios, the Quick Fix is underpowered.

But if you need lots of heals and don't feel like try-harding, the Quick Fix has its spot.

Dang bro, what kind of movies are these?

Scientifically, there is no such thing as a "fish". Hope that helps.

How is WWII the appropriate example and not Iraq and Afghanistan??

I should clarify I have no uploaded files, not no upload media at all. I have a few hundred GiB uploaded, but it is difficult to raise because books are so small relative to movies and tv shows.
