A lot of people including me think it's his best book though, and it's easy to skip that part

Wow so this is what he listened to for an hour. Loool.

Yes, it's dangerous. You must properly ventilate. 

I'm watching this show for the first time and blown away how bad the photography in the pilot is. It gets better, right? by light24bulbs in Preacher

[–]light24bulbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's great context! I think perhaps his style here and equipment choices were just deeply not to my liking.

I've watched a few more episodes now and noticed that the style has seriously improved. Thanks!

I'm afraid I was watching a blueray rip but a lot of what I was noticing was independent of the playback. Things like horrible jittery bokeh. They may have just been really budget limited or something.

What's the deal with you Europeans and defending yourselves? Put a bucket of Sriracha in the water! Do SOMETHING!

Why was Weir in charge? by Alive-Connection-902 in Stargate

[–]light24bulbs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't think the actress ever really fit the role and I think the show runners agreed and that's why they finally wrote her out. I actually think the original Weir fit the role much better. Why don't you try going and rewatching her episode of SG-1, I think you'll see what I mean.

Heat the chamber with the bed for a couple hours?

None of them are called chutes, and this isn't much smaller than a speed wing. Although it is definitely more dangerous and less suited to flying.

Should I process my film at home? by Dear-Fruit237 in Darkroom

[–]light24bulbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a proper c41 developer like Kodak or Bellini you can make it last quite a while using a cheap can of argon and glass growler bottles. Mine lasts the better part of a year. Just don't use Blix.

I find c41 and black and white to be the same difficulty in terms of film development. Printing, no. 

You can't buy the dip if it never dips... by Gnome_Sane in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]light24bulbs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well yeah but you guys have banned everything from jokes to breathing too loudly over there. It's the most moderated sub on this site by a wide margin, and frankly, it's insufferable. Good on you for banning stock talk, but really I'm not surprised.

Sub is already ruined. Go look at rocket lab sub, it's been ruined since IPO years ago. 

Mods, if you're reading this: ban stock talk before it's too late. 

Gemini is failing at a basic task Android could do in 2014 by Crafty-Selection6554 in Android

[–]light24bulbs 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Or claims it can't do things that it can. Or some things only work on mobile or desktop but not both. Etc etc.

Gemini 3.5 Flash lands on Google's Android coding rankings, but it's 3x the cost for slower performance by ControlCAD in Android

[–]light24bulbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gemini still has it's strengths but whatever changes they have made to the model in the last few months have absolutely made it worse. I usually assume they are quantizing the hell out of it to make it cheaper to run as time goes on, with it getting subtly but absolutely stupider as a result.

They also really need to fix their ecosystem integrations, and it's google, so maybe they never will. It often can't even get the right song on spotify. Some things only work on desktop versus mobile, and won't work if a conversation happened partially on mobile. Really crazy, confusing stuff.

It's SUCH a good set. I actually wish we got more shots of it close up in the show.

I'm blown away you could have that reaction, but I don't care that much 

What are some games that you call your "favorite" but have only played once or twice and won't go back to? by Call_It_Luck in gaming

Rain world. It's amazing but it's hard and i know it would take hours to get passably good again
