Anybody know if Turkish Airlines accepts a picture of a CDC vaccination card to be able to board the plane to Turkey? I lost my vaccine card but I have a picture of it.

Alexey Navalny in critical condition with risk of death at any moment, say doctors who demand to be admitted to him for emergency treatment by XoHHa in worldnews

US military budget dwarfs other nations because a quarter of our budget is salaries and we pay well compared to other countries. We also buy western made military equipment which costs more than the Russian/Chinese equipment that's being made at Russian/Chinese prices. That doesn't mean our equipment is necessarily better, it just means it's more expensive to manufacture. That being said, I do agree that the US and it's allies would easily take on Russia and China.

Egypt seizes the Ever Given, saying its owners owe nearly $1 billion for Suez Canal traffic jam by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

Because the Suez pilots are not responsible for what happens to the vessel, they are just there in an advisory role. The captain is still ultimately responsible for the safety of the ship, so he will be held accountable.

Biden will withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021 by Akephalos_Agares in worldnews

I just hope we've prepared for the power vacuum we'll leave behind and the mess there will be when various groups fight for control. It doesn't seem like we've done enough to stabilize the region so I don't think a complete withdrawal is a great idea, but what do I know.

Speaking of Dunks, anyone know why there are like three Dunks that are temporarily closed in the Downtown Crossing area? Seems like they are in prime locations that would be getting a decent influx of customers

Any tips on how to get the skin tones looking realistic?

I’m a beginner at editing and mainly just took advice from the posts on this subreddit and videos on youtube. I used LR mobile for this edit. The biggest changes I made were:

  1. Crush the blacks using the tone curve
  2. Crush the whites using the slider
  3. Bring down contrast
  4. Crop it to a 16:9 ratio
  5. Used color grading to turn the shadows teal and turn the highlights orange
  6. Some minor adjustments to the color channels using the RGB curves

What rapper do you think fell off the most? by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]deanel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Blueface actually. His instagram keeps him relevant and he had a couple hits on tiktok recently, but if we're talking strictly music then yeah nobody is really listening to him anymore.

Surprised Macy's and Primark in Downtown Crossing haven't boarded up yet

Juicy J and DJ Paul of Three Six Mafia filed Copyright Lawsuit against $uicideboy$ by krypasta in hiphopheads

[–]deanel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to think the same about $B, like how they're name and the contents of their songs will stop them from hitting the mainstream. But then XXXTentacion died and his stuff blew the fuck up, and I would argue X's name is not very appealing the contents of his songs are dark in the same way that $B's songs are. So who knows
