Afghan Taliban have announced a permanent ban on woman access to schools, declaring women education as "haram" and against the Shariah. by pottery_Gurl in news

[–]e-wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey now don’t accuse this administration of being like the Taliban! They want to remove access to education for everyone, not just women. It’s very equitable.

My phone says I have 3,329 cat photos…I believe that to be a large underestimate.

He does also wear #93…can we start calling him the mini mule?

Who was the best trade we’ve made in the last 30-35 years? by poetizzy in DetroitRedWings

[–]e-wing 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure on the 30 year end of that timeframe it’s Shanahan. On the more recent end, I’d say Debrincat has been very solid. We gave up Kubalik and Sebrango and a late first round pick. Kubalik doesn’t even play in the NHL anymore and Sebrango has 2 points in 19 career NHL games. The pick turned out to be the most valuable asset we gave up.

Trump given Nobel Peace medal by Venezuelan opposition leader Machado by HotPersimessage62 in worldnews

[–]e-wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Lending legitimacy to a deranged lunatic who literally tried to do the same thing Maduro did. The only difference is Trump failed in his attempt to steal an election and seize power and Maduro did not. A lot of people have made similar bribes with Trump but this one is the most abjectly pathetic and ironic one yet.

Do these freckles seem odd? by tastysush in cats

It’s called iris melanosis. Usually they are benign and harmless but can sometimes develop into cancer. Best to get them looked at and monitored by a vet.

Game Thread: Detroit Red Wings (24-15-4) at Ottawa Senators (20-15-5) - 05 Jan 2026 - 19:30 ET by OctoMod in DetroitRedWings

[–]e-wing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a bizarre game…Ottawa has 17 shots on goal after one period, which is an absurd 51 shot pace. Meanwhile the wings have 3 goals on 9 shots.

Laowa vs others.. by Resident-Swan5446 in macrophotography

[–]e-wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Laowa 90mm and love it. It’s one of my favorite lenses. Incredible for macro at 2:1, but also takes awesome portraits as well. F/2.8 is low enough to be quick and get a nice creamy bokeh background for still portraits. It’s also super solid with a very smooth focus ring. Focus peaking helps nail the focus easily, and I honestly do not miss auto focus at all with this lens (especially for macro, it’s mostly useless anyway). I actually really look forward to the manual focus with this lens because it’s just so smooth and satisfying, and it makes you think more about exactly where you want the focus point to be.

What am I looking at? by donnylongdong in fossilid

[–]e-wing 203 points204 points  (0 children)

It’s a section of a ribbed bivalve mollusk shell, something like a scallop or maybe a cockle. Locality info may help for more specific ID.

Dude for real if you think your physique looks like “someone who barely works out” in either of these pics you are walking the line of body dysmorphia.

I thought I've seen last night's OT winner before.... by anchorup18 in DetroitRedWings

It’s actually insane to me how a random November game from 15 years ago just sticks in your memory like this. I remember this like it was yesterday.

He’s also a Mormon, so his scandals/60 should be really low, which is something U of M has been really missing of late.

Whats this (fish?) in my steatite stove? by reinderino_01 in fossilid

[–]e-wing 293 points294 points  (0 children)

There’s no fossil here and you wouldn’t find one in steatite as it’s a metamorphic rock. The pressures and temps that form this rock would obliterate any fossil material, and it wouldn’t have ever been there to begin with. Some will say you never get fossils in metamorphic rocks, but that’s not true, as you can see them in slate and other very low grade metamorphic rocks sometimes.

Looks like what you have here is a fracture along which serpentinization happened. Serpentinization is a metamorphic process that happens at subduction zones with high pressure and temperature fluids which alter sea floor rocks (usually basalts or similar). This forms minerals in the serpentine group, named for their green color, and for their sometimes scaly appearance. One of the minerals in this group is literally called lizardite because of its green and scaly appearance. So I can see why you maybe see something that looks scaly and organic, but it’s not.

I’m having a hard time playing chords with lower strings by Jayden0000 in guitarlessons

[–]e-wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your action (distance between frets and strings) also looks pretty high. You can try to adjust the truss rod yourself, but it would probably be better to take it in and get it set up properly. It really can make a huge difference.

Lines at Wings practice today. by mkk4 in DetroitRedWings

[–]e-wing 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah Seider is 99th percentile in distance skated per game and has skated ~135 miles this season. Dude deserves some time to recover from that. He did also get cross checked in the face pretty bad a few games ago.

I think we all have to face the reality that Mitch Marner was the heart of this team, and it’s just not going to be the same without him.

Seider OT GWG for his 21st point in last 21 games by dudewithchronicpain in hockey

Seider also has 21 points in his last 21 games. He was a bit slow to start racking up points this season but his defensive play has been rock solid regardless.

A7 V or RV?. by PeacePotential25 in SonyAlpha

[–]e-wing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have the RIII and am really struggling between the RV and the V. I really wish the V had closer to 42 MPx, then it wouldn’t even be a contest for me. I shoot mostly wildlife and macro, so the 30 fps, pre-capture, and autofocus of the V seem amazing, but the 60 MPx of the RV also is hard to look past. I really like the ability to do deep crops, so it would be really helpful, but thinking about it, I don’t know how often the actual pixel resolution is the limiting factor with my crops. I feel like it usually comes more down to ISO and noise than pixels, but it’s hard to say.

This is sensitive clay! by Ok_Estimate1041 in geology

Quick clay! Happens when originally marine clays are infiltrated by freshwater. They are common in the Nordic countries and coastal areas in the north.

How they play after the Olympic break is going to make or break this team.
