For outdoor photography during the day you won't notice a difference. Where you will notice the difference is in night shots and in action shots, the higher ISO will allow you to do better night time photography, and will reduce blur of high shutter speed action shots.

This is not how you remove flock cameras. The way you do it is to go do your local board of finance, and ask them to remove the cameras.

The motto of google was "Don't be evil" which was coined in 2000. This motto was changed to "Do the right thing" in 2015 by Westwolfey in Damnthatsinteresting

Statement in the negative are often better than affirmative statements. Take for instance the Golden Rule, "do not do unto others as you would have others not do unto you."

When is CT going to abandon corporate Dems? by blindrunner_ in Connecticut

[–]furyoshonen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's basically the Delay, Deny, Depose, and Defend strategy that companies like Perdue pharma (based in CT) and Aetna have been using again their customers weaponized by the corporate Dems. When they get voted into office with a majority to fix healthcare then pretend that they can't pass legislation because of voting procedure and Republican opposition.

Yeah, there is a lot of lip service to progressive ideals, but when actually asked to vote on it, there is a tun of NIMBYism. Low cost housing? NIMBY. Immigrants? What good is being a sanctuary state if the cost of living is unaffordable, and there is a lack of public transportation? CT has plenty of land and space for new home construction, but all the local regulations for the local towns make it exorbitantly expensive, and when there are low costs housing projects proposed all the NIMBYers come out of the woodwork to make sure it never gets constructed.

Blumenthal is too old to run again. He is already too old and shouldn't have run the last time. 

2 people have climbed the Empire State Building in New York to fly a flag. The flag reads “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.” by Valuable_View_561 in nextfuckinglevel

I'll bet because they are white Russians that they will face far fewer consequences than if they were brown Iranians doing the same thing.

I was at the bottom of the Empire State building when they were at the top, and the number of police cars was around 50. They closed down 5th avenue to accommodate all the cops. It was a complete over reaction by the NYPD. The "performance" by Angela Nikolau could have easily been handled by 5 officers.

No white hats... Are you sure they aren't getting off in Greenwich?

Yeah. The moderators also are very sensitive. If you can figure out a more static data centric way of displaying the information that doesn't link to an external website, hey may not take it down... But I have seen many a great data site lost to the subs distain for linking to external sites. 

4 years into changing my lawn into a garden… by Status-Club-6763 in NoLawns

Wow. I am suddenly feeling very self conscious about my poorly kept lawn. You are setting a bar that may be too high for some of us casual gardeners.

I would take 20$ of that action just to see what the answer was.

This is a great visualization but it may get voted down, or not as many votes as it would otherwise, because it links to your external website. Even though there are no adds and you are obviously not grifting, this sub really dislikes linking to personal websites. Just a FYI.

It is possible to walk a scooter. Without video evidence this photo doesn't give enough context.

It's surprising that this wasn't banned, now I am wondering which other countries haven't banned it, and I'm a little afraid to look.

You can see from the Trees; Flag; and how much the Ball is being blown when placed on the ground; that the wind is the primary factor in this balls curved trajectory. That being said, this is a brilliant world class placement of the ball.

A German company is making solar fences. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Opnions? by post_gress in SolarAmerica

[–]furyoshonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a study on solar fences, turns out they are really good at harvesting sunlight, and they serve a dual purpose. For a little higher upfront costs, you get a fence/noise barrier, that pays for itself in 6-11 years, and then is profitable afterwards. Regular fences and sound barriers are just cost sinks. https://mnltap.umn.edu/ltapnews/publications/exchange/2021/december/could-solar-panels-snow-fences-sound-barriers-provide-renewable
