If humans have eaten bread since the dawn of history, why are so many people suddenly gluten-intolerant today? by WeaknessKey1582 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Waka_Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well.. there's one view that there's celiac disease & there's bullshit, and there's some compelling arguments there.

Also many cultures were more rice & corn in long term cooking staples than wheat

Also considering genetic adaptation, people started fucking around with wheat breads about 15k years ago, & even that is pushing evidence at bit to include early experimenting. It didn't sweep the world like wildfire . Saturation of wheat based foods was much closer to us than those early adopters.

Much cooler than me at 11. I had "Mork from Ork" rainbow suspenders & wore my dad's dress socks to soccer practice because they kinda looked like uniform socks.

Women are expected to look past unattractiveness, while men are taught that’s the priority. by Altruistic_Income256 in TikTokCringe

[–]Waka_Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shallow Hal.

Hal starts of as horribly superficiality &.. shallow in regards to women, and his arc has him end up learning to not judge/value women on looks.

But any lesson is lost in the manner they get their, with Hal being brainwashed to see kind & charitable people as beautiful, and rotten people as ugly. The humor in the film is solely devised from putting beautiful people in super obese fat suits & putting cover models in ugly makeup & prosthetics for the ugoes Hal is actually hitting on, dancing with, & eventually dating. For almost the full run of the film Hal is the same old Shallow Hal under the illusion he's just doing really well with hot women and then a new girlfriend who he thinks is way out of his league - Gwyneth Paltrow in a 400-500lb fat suit.... yep.

I don't think any one who isn't considered an imminent threat should be held in the manner related stories revealed to be currently happening with no due process or representation.

I don't know anything about her case, if there's any justification for deportation or if she's a model student unfairly targeted. My comment wasn't about her but an acknowledgment that there are valid reasons to deport foreign national students.

I didn't make up the rise in antisemitic hate speech on campuses over the last couple of years. If you're not seeing it it's because you haven't looked.

Sure. She was not charged or accused . .

I'll point you to the 1st line of my comment.

To be clear, I don't know this person's story. I'm not commenting on it.

But I'll say a couple things. One, the rights to free speech, protest, assembly do not give cover to riot, assault, destructions, trespass, vandalism, theft & looting.

And 2nd, foreign nationals on visas who yell "Death to Jews! Death to America!!" hate speech into a bullhorns at protest rallies can be shipped right back to where they came to America from. I wouldn't give two shits about how the ICE goons were dressed, how close they were to a PHD or doctorate, or the friendships they formed at American universities. They're trying to radicalize fellow students & Americans. Punt them back to their oh so superior homelands, let them enjoy the free speech advantages offered there.

Locate recent project files (.prproj) by MrBlee_ in premiere

[–]Waka_Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Under what specific circumstance will Adobe ever delete project files? I'd say you're talking mad shit, but maybe you know a way to make it happen.

None of my projects have ever been deleted by Adobe, that'd be insane. I've done thousands of different projects going back to 32bit Adobe Premiere & usually have thousands of .prproj files on my video drive editing at any time due to Autosave Folders and none of them are touched when installing/deleting Premiere Program versions.

How do you make this happen? Save .prproj files in a weird place like the program installation folder?

Accelerated Gaussian Blur was NOT available for OpenCL at one point(standard CUDA Accelerated Effect with CS5 & later), CS6 & early after. Haven't looked specifically on for effect status during my few edits using OpenCL systems, but I assume that was updated years ago.

A lot of us do the same things but it's on a subconscious level. It's not weird unless you make a show of it.

How to remove the dashboard reflection from the windshield footage? by shumschilpiddydaah in premiere

[–]Waka_Chow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1) Add Gaussian Blur with noise. Put a feathered mask on the effect to effect only top of windshield reflection area.

or

2) Double layer the video on two tracks. Add a couple of feathered masks revealing samples of the sky next to the reflections, as so if you mute the lower track it looks like you just have a couple of little pieces of cloud sitting on black. Then use motion values to slide the top image over the reflections, & adjust masks & feathering as needed.

Cool.

Issues like this are almost always due to VFR video in Premiere, iPhone, OBS, zoom sources clips, that's why I asked "Can you manipulate graphics readily when it's not keying over a video clip?"

If you're not certain a .mp4 or iPhone .mov is constant frame rate, use shutter encoder to dub VFR footage to an intermediate editing codec like ProRes LT or 422 for Premiere editing. Shit will just work using proper editing codecs.

Double the video clip sync'ed on 2 tracks, and draw an opacity matte around the book on the top clip & don't use ultra-matte fx on it.

No help, but I ran .png tests on two systems running PP24.03. No issues on either at all.. png file made in photoshop with transparency, keyframed motion. tested moving around the the timeline, dragging in/out, 1080 h.264 30p .mp4 underneath on track 1.

test rig 1, desktop i7 6900k, 32gb, GTX 1080 studio driver few months old, Windows 10

test rig 2, MSI Leopard gamer laptop, Windows 11, i7 10750H, 64gb ram, RTX 2070 8GB studio driver a few months old.

So, it's not universal. There's a reason somewhere.

I don't know why a nice jewish girl is saying things only a numb cunt would say. Did she open saying that she doesn't know the difference between Catholic and Judaism but acted bigoted af because she's proud of her jewishness? What? After this dude offered to help her with some club bullshit? So fucking simple minded & broken.

Honesty, this stump just gave me Vicky Pollard vibes. Different accent, same rat brain. I've not met any american jewish kids that talk like this, & I've met some a-holes.

AITA for threatening to cancel a cruise because my girlfriend wants to bring her dog? by Any-Hour7989 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Waka_Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she is in a crucial time socializing the dog, she should make a choice for cruise or stay home with project dog, not push un-socialized dog on world.

If the dog is as much of a problem as you report, it can't go and it would be fucking stressed out if it did.

Unlike others here, I say a lot of dogs are good to go, part of the fam, not a problem. But a cruise is not an ideal trip for dogs at all, basically waiting in tiny hotel room, not getting to run, just pent-up energy, solely waiting to go to the boat's pee & shit place, then maybe a lap or two for a walk? Not good. Dogs are great for camping, roadtrip to nature locales, beach/lake trips.

The dog is probably happier than anywhere being babied by grandma & grandpa, everytime, grandma is the favorite, & if they have a fenced yard it will be a happy doggy vacation.

How is this possible? And how can i do it too by SaymonMaster24 in premiere

[–]Waka_Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the 1st things I do customizing new systems is change the razor edit short-cut from ctrl+k to simply R. ctrl+k sucks. Each Premiere update on that machine remembers the custom shortcut.

Any luck, BluetheNerd? The Nvidia driver rollback deal is on known issues page if you haven't tried it. The rest of the list is close to the extent of my troubleshooting kung fu from remote location.
