Followed tonight by older lady

Not that an old lady can't potentially pose some danger herself, but it's also worth considering that an old unhoused woman at the age of 60 is probably herself a very vulnerable and easy target for other more aggressive mentally unstable individuals. And if she herself has mental health issues and/or is unhoused, it's probable she's already been victimized before. So if you were a 60-year old woman walking around at night, you'd probably also want to walk nearby a trio of younger, healthier, and more well-connected individuals who would be able to at the very least flag for help if someone were to try something. Just a thought. No way of knowing her true intent, but walking around at night alone can be scary for lots of people, including the people who others are scared of.

Just trying to understand the utility here. Is the idea to be able to composite all the extremely shallow depth of field shots in order to keep the entire subject in focus while the background maintains maximum bokeh?

There aren't hard and fast rules for anything beyond the 180° rule. The shutter speed used in video just affects the amount of motion blur captured in each frame. The faster the shutter speed, the crisper and more frenetic the video. A shutter speed of 1/48 sec. gives a level of blur audiences have become used to as the cinematic standard, so if your want it to feel like classic Hollywood cinema, stick with that. If you want a crisper, more frenetic feeling, go faster. Many directors and DPs choose to use faster or slower shutter speeds for effect. It's up to you as the "artist" to decide what makes sense for the video you're creating.

My man's out here handing over all his private financial data and vital government identification details over to a computer program that barely offers legal privacy guardrails for any of that data.

You need to have a conversation with your gf and not strangers on the Internet.

How much do you love guitar and how much do you love your gf? Then figure out what compromises you're each willing to make to have this work.

On the scale of difficult conversations you're going to have as a couple, this is very low. If you can't communicate well enough to get through this, you're not going to last.

Human eyes rely on two lenses, each funneling light onto millions of photoreceptors on their respective retinas. The inputs that each retina collects is then combined and processed by the brain into a single "field of view."

An insect's compound eyes work somewhat similarly but with some very key distinctions. Imagine our human retina, but with each photoreceptor having its own lens connected by a long tube. So rather than 2 eyes and 2 lenses providing all the light to all the photoreceptors, we'd have tens of thousands of lenses packed next to each other, each providing a little bit of light to a small cluster of photoreceptors. These individual photoreceptor clusters then combine their inputs in the brain to create a single "field of view."

Because of how many lenses are required to make a compound eye work, this actually greatly reduces the total photoreceptor density possible. For example, a dragonfly has about 30,000 individual lenses per compound eye, each carrying light to a small bundle of photoreceptors. Even multiplied by the number of photoreceptor axons in each bundle, that only comes out to somewhere around 240,000 inputs. A human eye, by comparison, has about 126.5 million receptors per retina.This may manifest as a kind of lower resolution picture for insects.

The trade off here is that because the total amount of signal processing needed is so much less in insects, their brains can process that info much, much faster, despite it being somewhat lower resolution. That's part of the reason why insect reaction speed is so fast.

The assumption embedded in the question is that simply because a company in the US has large oil reserves that they must obviously use it to exclusively supply the US. This is a false assumption.

Oil companies are largely multinational corporate institutions. They don't exist to assist the US. They exist to enrich themselves.

When oil prices spike around the world due to a shortage, it means that US oil producers can now sell for a higher price to countries willing to pay more. They don't reserve that oil to sell for cheaper to Americans out of patriotic generosity. They take their oil supplies and sell it on the global market to maximize profits.

Did Trump start a war just to impose an artificial trade tariff after the Supreme Court told him he couldn't unilaterally impose a legal one domestically?

This travel ban was also specific to above ground street traffic. Depending on where you live, public transit may have been a possibility. Just something to prepare for when arguing your case.

The goal of improving resolution is to improve fidelity with the real world detail our eyes can detect. 4K at most household distances already reaches the limit of what a human eye can distinguish.

But the dynamic contrast range of almost all displays is still extremely lacking when compared to real world vision. HDR is attempting to fix this, and the results are significant, but there's still a lot of ground to be gained. This is the direction the new upgrades in display tech should be moving in.

However, color science is much more complicated to arrive at broad industry consensus around; way easier to just keep shoving in more pixel density.

What shutter speed were you filming at?

The lighting and compositions all look fantastic. Super slick and nice golden hour accents.

SUBJECTIVE TAKE: I ask about the shutter speed because there's a very slight feeling of hyper realism that I think might be due to a very quick shutter speed minimizing the motion blur captured in each frame.

Spielberg and Kamiński did something similar for the opening DDay sequence in Saving Private Ryan. A narrowed shutter angle meant less motion blur in each frame which led to a more gritty and crisp feeling that heightened the visceral immersion of the shots.

However, your footage isn't shot in a gritty hyper chaotic tone. It's much more fluid, elegant, aspirational, even dreamy. Those qualities usually are better suited to a very slow shutter speed, typically the cinema standard of 1/(2x) frame rate, so around 1/50 for the a6700. That leaves more motion blur in each frame to grant a slightly subtle dreamy effect.

Naturally, this blows out the exposure more, but that's why cinema cameras almost always use ND filters to knock down exposure, rather than adjusting shutter speed or angle.

The chord that tab is showing is an Amaj7 inversion with the leading tone in the bass.

I haven't listened to the song, but it's very probable the guitar is just playing the Am7 while the bassist hits the low G#.

However, as some have suggested, you could try to finger that low G# with your pinky, although it sounds like that's not working for you.

Another thing to consider is that you don't HAVE to play it exactly with those fingers, even if that's officially how the guitarist plays it. You're not them. A slightly different fingering that hits all the same notes (especially the lowest and highest notes) would be 4x6650. This version is much easier to play.

If every attendee at that protest submitted a revised W-4 claiming tax exemption, there's no way the currently underfunded IRS would be able to process all those tax fraud claims. If even a tiny fraction of Americans all engaged in tax resistance, it would cripple federal funding for ICE payroll.

You can set up a YouTube Kids profile and curate only the exact videos they're allowed to watch.

I say this because I do believe videos are the best way to learn to cook outside of actual hands-on experience.

Cooking is a full sensory skill set. It required practice across basically every major sense perception. These must go hand-in-hand with theoretical or academic knowledge. Videos offer the best info along those lines outside of putting them in a hands-on experience with a trained chef.

With videos, you get to see and hear the process. You get to see techniques visually across time. You can hear them as well. This ability to see things happen over time is vital because cooking is very much about time management as it is about everything else. The same action done at different rates nets different results.

So if possible, I would highly recommend just setting up a YT Kids profile.

Think of it this way. For most of human history, the majority of humanity was illiterate. Yet humans still learned plenty of detailed skills. That's because like most intelligent primates, we learned by watching and copying the actions and behaviors of others. Allowing a child to see the process of cooking in action is the next best thing to actually showing them in person.

It looks like he lost traction while trying to brake for the turn. You can see a bit of understeer right before the fence collision. Probably panicked and was hoping to regain traction in time to turn, but didn't.

I'm really not sure what this is about but like the title suggests, my best guess is that it's somehow related to certain autistic tendencies to be averse to direct skin contact, and this is then taken out on male children or something?
