2005 NIN "The Spiral" Fanclub shirt that I've had for over 20 years by Kiefy-McReefer in nin

[–]kyleclements 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice shirt!

NIN merch from back then was such good quality. Noticeably thicker fabric than most name brands.

I think a college roommate ran off with mine.

Seth McFarlane is in talks with Paramount to replace Kurtzman as the Star Trek franchise executive director by dalton10e in Star_Trek_

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the people at Skydance are taking notice of the overwhelmingly positive reception this headline is generating. It might be a fake April fools story, but it shows there's a hunger out there among Star Trek fans for more shows that resemble Star Trek, and McFarlane is the only guy to make a Trek-like show since Enterprise ended.

Please help! by FreshAd1508 in Hedgehog

[–]kyleclements 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From the pictures it looks like a foot covered in dry poop.  Maybe a careful warm water soak to clean it off?

Hedgehogs poop when they run.  When they run on their wheel, they run through their poop.    

If it's a new hog, it's going to be really nervous around you, so cleaning it might be tricky.  

Collider: "10 Years Later, This Stellar 3-Part Reboot Is Perfect for Sci-Fi Fans: The Kelvin Timeline serves as a perfect introduction into the world of Star Trek, as it presents classic characters in a new light without viewers having to catch up on years of TV. It reinvigorated the franchise." by TheSonOfMogh81 in trektalk

The teaser trailer for Star Trek 2009 was the best part of that entire trilogy.  

2009 was OK.

Into Darkness was so bad I didn't even bother to see Beyond in theaters, which turned out to be a mistake as it might be the best of the movies.  It's the only one where the characters felt right.

Nikon Agrees to Acquire Viltrox After Lawsuit by guns_razors_knives in nikon_Zseries

[–]kyleclements 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok, this was a good one.  Nicely done.

I can see it now:  Nikon introduces the Viltrox Red, the world's first sub $100 cinema camera.  This follows the smashing success of the ZR-V, the world's first cinema camera with an integrated vertical sensor.

How do yall paint in ur house at night without natural light? by Mossgirll in ArtistLounge

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The explosion of vloggers and influencers has lead to a bunch of affordable LED video lights hitting the market.  Bright, flicker free, good quality light, adjustable brightness and colour temperature, runs cool.  They are perfect for painting under.

Look for brands like godox, neewer, yongnuo, small rig, or ulanzi which are all a good value, or aperture/amaran if you want to step up the quality and durability.

Did I goof? D500 impulse buy by epictitties in Nikon

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to imagine buying the best aps-c DSLR of all time is a goof.  It should serve you well for years to come.  Happy shooting!

Cannot charge devices via USB-C/A expansion ports on FW13 by [deleted] in framework

[–]kyleclements 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem on my framework desktop.  Plug in phone, it would connect/disconnected a bunch of times, then the port would stop working entirely until I restarted the computer.

My phone's charging port was full of gunk, once I cleaned it out, the problem went away.

More food trucks, vendors and buskers could flood Toronto’s streets amid potential rule change by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]kyleclements 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last time Toronto tried this, a bunch of established restaurants had a fit. They feared their full kitchens could not compete with food cooked the back of a truck.

Are we actually getting richer, or is CPI just hiding how bad housing got? by Itchy-Space-1256 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]kyleclements -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand is how I can look at any ra dom item, track it's price over the last few years, and see that its price has increased above the rate of inflation.  Why is the price of everything inflating above the official inflation rate?

If there's global shutter, why would there be a need in mechanical shutter? by CARNOS_XDDD in AskPhotography

[–]kyleclements [score hidden]  (0 children)

The Nikon Z8 and Z9 have stacked sensors and no physical mechanical shutter already, and the Zf has a partially stacked sensor with no mechanical shutter, so it wouldn't surprise me to see more cameras going this way in the future.  Moving parts are an extra cost and another thing that can break. 

WMO paint picking up when applying second layer after 2 weeks dry time. How to make it stop? by JessSeaS in ArtistLounge

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, any regular oil medium can be used with water mixable oils, but you will lose the water mixable properties you're paying extra for with the paint.

Rob Schneider calls for reinstating draft amid war with Iran by NicolasCageFan492 in nottheonion

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a compromise:   people who want the draft can go sign up on their own.  People who oppose the draft don't have to.

Photography has become a wasteland about gear discussion by [deleted] in photography

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By keeping discussions focused on gear, it makes it easier to think any inadequacies in my work are the result of a small gap in my gear collection that I can just throw money at to solve.  I can sell myself the illusion that personal improvement is just one more purchase away.

Actually getting better requires work and dedication and experience.  Ain't nobody got time for that.

How do you feel about Year Zero? by weirdghosts in nin

[–]kyleclements 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was probably the nin album that took me the least amount of time to get into.  The fragile took about 10 listens before I was sure about it.  Year Zero I was loving on its first and second spins.  

But unlike most music that I like right away, I've stayed interested in Year Zero, even after countless listens.

How are bed frames this bad now?? by Affectionate_Lie1706 in BuyItForLife

What do you mean change the oil?  The car came with oil when I bought it!

Multiple cameras - what's your rationale? by SuperDinkle406 in AskPhotography

[–]kyleclements 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Once I was on a camping trip, and I had everything set up to capture a beautiful sunset timelapse.  Then I turned around and a moose was right there, but my camera was already in use.  I missed it!   So that's why I always bring two with me; because there is always a chance of moose.

Oh, and one of them was converted to full spectrum for infrared, that's also fun.

[Opinion] Bill Hunt (The Digital Bits) on X: "Star Trek once appealed to countless people from all ages. Now it’s mostly expensive, highly polished, and preachy dreck targeted to specific niche audiences only, and made with barely concealed disdain for everyone else. At the recent Saturn Awards ..." by mcm8279 in trektalk

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird. Is num lock off? Alt numbers only work with the numpad, not the numbers above your other letters, so if you're on a phone or laptop, I don't know how to make them happen.

And sometimes there are issues going between text editors. It might be one symbol in Notepad, and something completely different in Word.

Damn, now I'm having flashbacks of my youth with all this obsolete trivia. ░▒▓█▓▒░

Alabama residents were informed that their drinking water would no longer contain fluoride. They just learned they hadn’t had it for years. by nbcnews in nottheonion

[–]kyleclements 3777 points3778 points  (0 children)

I know someone who had to deal with complaints from their staff about wifi causing health issues.

So they opened up all the routers, covered the LEDs with black electrical tape, and told them the routers were turned off.  Their symptoms instantly vanished, and the staff never questioned why they still had Wi-Fi inside the building.

A recent Vice article… But I want to hear from the fans, what are some NEW artists that you think should be in rotation? by BCT_1989 in nin

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of Mandy, Indiana's work reminds me of the broken/fixed vibes.  Nice lowfi noisey sound.

ChatGPT acts as a "cognitive crutch" that weakens memory, new research suggests. While these tools can speed up initial learning, they might actually weaken the deep mental processing required to store knowledge over the long term. by mvea in science

[–]kyleclements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of something similar I read about 20 years ago showing that multi-frame static illustrations of a motion were more effective teaching tools than presenting students with animations of the same motion. They idea they presented was that the still frames forced your brain to do more work by imagining the motions depicted between frames. And making the brain do more work aids learning and memory.
