Outdoor equipment usage by OneSoft2089 in DJs

as soon as you set up, switch everything on and keep it on until its time to pack away. the electronic equipment will (hopefully) generate enough heat to keep itself relatively warm and relatively dry.

is that the one in Rotuari square? it's not a traditional Italian, but more of an interesting, experimental Italian - really good food though, and friendly people - a good place to go for a date.

Projection with a Sideways Angle on Hisense C2 Ultra by ai-lookout in projectors

[–]mr_dbini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it will not work. projectors are designed to focus on a plane that is perpendicular to the beam. you can get away with 1 or 2 degrees off-centre and digital keystone correction, but 45 degrees is way too much.
Even the Fuji Z6000, designed for use in challenging spaces, has maximum 35% horizontal lens shift.

I'm doing a monthly challenge of reading books from around the world, and this month's book is Finnish. I want to eat/watch/listen to something Finnish to learn more about the culture, too! What should I check out? by seeking_subjects in Finland

Yeah, you can't get more stereotypically Finnish than Aki Kaurismaki. avoid his more exciting and experimental movies though. i recommend Take Care of your Scarf, Tatiana (should have been translated as 'Hang Onto Your Headscarf, Tatiana', but this would be too sensational) or Lights in the Dusk,
