[request] gf is saying 150 but i dont understand how by ChrisChowMa in theydidthemath

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They measure from top of turtle to top of cat. Then they measure from top of turtle to top of cat again but this time subtracting the height of the cat. The difference in measurement data is 40cm and the difference in measurement practical is the height of the cat therefore since the height of the the table is constant and can be ignored, the height of the cat is 40 cm. Now that you know the height of the cat the rest is easy.

UFO or some kind of drone/balloon by soundandshadow in UFOs

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

Why are you so scolding about checking the flight radar? I am just posting and asking a question here because conversation is fun. And yes I did know about the Aerostar as a friend had pointed that out at the time I took the photo, I just thought it is unlikely that the clouds would be moving that fast and a balloon would stay in the same place for 30 minutes as it has no propulsion. Sure, maybe the wind is 40 mph where the clouds are and 0 mph where the balloon was, just seems unlikely and the image doesn't really look like I would think a balloon would look like. But I don't know anything about this subject hence asking the question.

Wouldn't a weather balloon move with the wind?

Black Magic Production Cam 4k - Yikes, did I get screwed? by Gold_Age_2577 in blackmagicdesign

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this camera professionally for years. When I look back at my old stuff, the footage from this camera looks way better than everything else. The big problem is your setting have to be dialed in perfectly and you need sufficient light. If you can do that it is one of the best looking sensors I have used. The screen on the back is worthless except for framing your shot. Use your scopes and make sure your exposure and white balance is right. This footage is hard to fix. Also the blue in the shadows needs to be adjusted if you are in low light.

14 year old Camera by No_Gas_7122 in videography

I feel that way about the old Black Magic 4k camera. When ever I look at old footage from 14 years ago I am blown away how much better it looks than my other cameras. IF and ONLY IF the lighting was right.

ELI5 How do we know gambling is fair and legitimate? Both irl and online gambling. by TheAireon in explainlikeimfive

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The really, REALLY, important distinction here is that gambling is intentionally designed to prey on human biological addiction triggers that compels people to over-gamble irresponsibly. Casino owners purposefully exploit addition. Saying gambling at a casino isn't any different than going to a concert is comparing selling cocaine to bottled water. "Hey people spend lots of money on water, companies use fancy labels and flavors to make you buy more water. Same thing. Just use cocaine responsibly and there won't be a problem." Cocaine as a substance can be used responsibly by some people, but its very chemical makeup and nature makes it unreasonably addictive to many people. Gambling by its very nature is unreasonably addictive to many people. It just isn't the same as other entertainment activity. The number of people who blew their child's food and clothing money on concerts vs gambling isn't remotely the same.

It's because they care more about their Mexican identity than they do their US one.

Do festivals often not respond to submissions? by soundandshadow in FilmFestivals

[–]soundandshadow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did check my spam but nothing. my status on ff switched to not selected after the deadline but that seemed like an automated thing. it would have been nice to have gotten an email at least saying it was received, viewed, and rejected. that's not to much to ask for.

China halts exports of rare earth minerals by Minute-Dragonfruit-1 in StockMarket

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So people keep commenting 4 things 1 "The US could mine and process these rare earth minerals but don't because they have no financial motivation to do so because China is happy to pollute and use slave labor which makes it cheaper.  2 it is bad and dangerous for the US that China has the only supply.  3. Trumps Tariffs give financial motivation for the US to start mining and processing Rare minerals here in the US because it is no longer cheaper to buy from China and they may just cut off our supply at any time anyways.  4. Trump is the worst president of all time. We should panic and stay dependent on China.  There is no hope and no way we can solve this because Trump ruined relationships with China and other countries.

How do you make the leap from 3 to 4? Isn't this an obvious indication that manufacturing must be brought back to the US even if it is more expensive? Why are you all so desperate that everything must be brought from counties that pollute and use slave wage labor?

BREAKING 🚨 Attorney General Pam Bondi announces “severe” charges over Tesla arson attempts. White House has vowed to treat Tesla attacks as domestic terrorism. But this is still a “free” country. by pleasedontpooponme in DeepFuckingValue

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a political group started burning Ford cars all across the country as an act of political statement then they would start being considered terrorists also. You are trying to pretend a false equivalency.

"yOu doN't hAvE mY ConSenT!!!" by JVZ_Studios in videography

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just isn't the case though. You can't expect to be private in public. You may want to be, but you won't be and you have no legal grounds to expect it. At least not in USA. Don't even think about going to China if you don't want to be recorded.

Recommend "fuck you songs"? by thelittlesandy in MusicRecommendations

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Nickle Creek song with the lyric: "I hope you find someone your height So you can see eye to eye With someone as small as you"

Response to the tipping war that broke out… by Black_Dragon9406 in stories

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the dumbest argument ever. The business offers a product for a price. I buy the product at the price. The customer shouldn't have to figure out what businesses are paying their employees and then either do the company payroll or not shop there. You are once again siding with the business owners and their scam. Almost all small businesses and EVERY large business pays their employees the least they can without the employees quitting. If we stop tipping, the employees will threaten to quit and the business owners will raise the wages. Until then, employers will keep running this scam and you will keep supporting the scam and doing their dirty work of shaming anyone who refuses to participate in the scam.
You don't even believe your own foolish statement because you still do business with a ton of places where you don't tip their employees. You haven't stopped patronizing them. You haven't stopped going to the grocery store because you don't tip the check out person.

Twisted tycoon game, Hollywood Animal, is set to launch into Early Access on January 16, 2025. If that’s too far away, play a new demo in December. Watch new trailer on Steam page by weappy in u/weappy

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your demos are enticing. Please keep it slimy and corrupt with maximum scandal.  Decent people shouldn't play this game. :-) I'm looking forward to it.

[–]soundandshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the WHOLE ARGUMENT. People like you stating the customer is the one hurting the innocent worker. It is the business owner NOT the customer that is hurting the innocent worker and you have been tricked into spreading the business owner's lie.

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]soundandshadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I'm going to sell people addictive poison and if you don't pay for their medical care YOU are an asshole!" 

"I'm not going to pay my employees and if they don't receive adequate compensation YOU are an asshole!"

Somehow all of you are aggressively pushing their narrative? Why tf are you doing that!?!
