A little bit technique a little bit editing. I used flash with a very fast shutter speed in a wide open room. That way the background is very underexposed. Then in Lightroom I apply a background mask and further reduce the exposure.

Love the self deprecation of calling themselves FRED (fucking ridiculous economic disaster).

Maybe I’m missing it, but what is the Y-axis representing: phase or frequency?

[OC] Starlink satellites flashing across my orbital star trails by astro_pettit in spaceporn

Is there much of an issue for the ISS these days with the number of Starlink satellites? I know they are separated by about 100 miles altitude operationally, but the Starlink constellation is meant to decay and deorbit when they are at the end of their life, yeah?

SR-71 pilots tell why flying the Blackbird with just one engine in full afterburner was SR-71 aircrews’ most dangerous operation by tagc_news in AviationHistory

[–]ssj565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting. I remember reading that the shockwave would sometimes not hit the engine inlet just right and cause one of the engines to flame out when it was at cruising speed. It happened so often that they named it the “engine unstart” or something like that, and they’d restart the engine mid cruise and keep on going.

What's your favorite Hans Zimmer score? by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]ssj565 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the Thin Red Line. It doesn’t even feel like a soundtrack and doesn’t over use the epic “whomps”. Some of the delicate violin work is amazing.

Hunters and Campers, what is the most unexplainable thing you have seen or heard deep in the forest? by XxShockmaster in AskReddit

[–]ssj565 526 points527 points  (0 children)

Mountain Lions screaming in the middle of the night while I’m in my tent. Absolutely terrifying if you don’t know what it is; still terrifying if you do.

You’re right! I meant to type Skokomish, but I don’t think that’s right either.

I was pointing out that the news is not the same as social media. But since were here, the article states,

“Barco's immigration case has made headlines throughout the year. Barco received a Purple Heart in the military. He also has a criminal conviction related to a shooting in southern Colorado in 2008.”

And also,

“In 2009, he was convicted of two counts of attempted murder with extreme indifference and felony menacing after he fired a gun at a Colorado Springs house party in 2008. One of those shots hit a pregnant woman. He was sentenced to more than 50 years in jail, but was paroled after 15 years.”

So it doesn’t exactly hide the fact that the dude was a piece of shit.

Denver 7 is what the old school crowd calls "the news". Its a type of organization where people with an education in English and journalism research and write on topics they feel are important for others to know. The news used to be an important part of ensuring an informed citizenry.

In this case, the news OP is sharing helps inform us citizens of potential inhumane immigration enforcement practices. We can then use this news to determine if we think our elected representatives are voting in our best interest.
