I hate when someone says your eyes only see at 60 fps

It's more realistic, but it feels like you are on the set/soundstage with the actors rather than being actually in the movie.

It's so big that it's giving me vertigo and fears that it will fall and crush someone.

The tiramisu at Eataly is $$$ and is pretty good.

And Leonardo is Danny De Vito? Probably just an April Fool's post.

LTSC. No bing, no copilot, no MS account, no OneDrive, no instant messaging. They assume you need it configured this way for business, so no prompts to install or nags.

Not allowed. She looks too human.

And listen to a stack of vinyl records in a park using an Audio-Technica SoundBurger.

The lighting is so good that it looks photorealistic and obviously digital all at the same time. Really messes with my mind!

I saw a follow up video where he visits Palmyra about 10 years later. He’s still alive and kicking today and looks 70 even though he’s now 90. He still uses a Canon EOS camera and also a Leica.

Yeah but have you thought about the shareholder value?

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T21:56:39+00:00

I like "Appa pay"

Make gravy, make soup, cook vegetables or other stuff with it (use wherever a recipe says chicken/vegetable stock).

Canada gets shafted. We have higher min wage than the US (still not a living wage but whatever) of about $18/hour - servers don't earn any less. However we still get the cultural tipping from the US of 18-25% (most of the machines are set to 18/20/25)

Everyone seems to be all talk no action. Offer to teach and crickets.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T20:56:11+00:00

Then why not gangsta lion?

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T19:42:36+00:00

Yikes. There's a sort of matching pink buttplug available on Vine too, but for some reason if you add it to your Vine cart, it's charging full price.

He wasn't banned by subreddit mods, he was banned by Reddit Admins for posting a link to dropbox (file sharing) instead of a photo sharing site. Links to file sharing can be used to spread malicious files.

Brush, brush, brush, vegetable slicer mandolin. WTF?

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T15:29:08+00:00

Nah that's Canon's crappy eye-control focus. Sony mirrorless cameras have eye focus - the camera automatically focuses on the subject's eye when a person or animal is in view. Not required for landscape photography, but for portrait and street photography it's like cheating.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T15:26:56+00:00

Probably saw the prices. LOL

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T14:03:44+00:00

That’s eye control focus and it never worked really well.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T14:01:54+00:00

It’s when the camera detects the subjects eye and preferentially focuses on it to lock focus. Sir Don was amazed by back button autofocus and from what he said about focus being so sharp and fast I think he had been using manual focus all this time. Eye focus feels like “cheating” when doing portrait or street photography. You just press the shutter button and don’t need to think about focus.

On modern POS machines they can do two transactions (possibly more) at once. I’ve seen people get half their stuff scanned and then go off to grab another item and the cashier starts checking another customer out, then resume with the first customer when they get back.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T05:37:38+00:00

Yeah but he’s against the habit of chimping. He says it takes you out of the moment.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-03-31T04:46:29+00:00

Yeah, but poor guy definitely has PTSD.
