Yes, bit wary of these current trends that try to paint Europe as this holier than thou place where everyone only thinks about the polar bears and UBI, when the truth is we have plenty of capitalist sharks in our ranks that would be happy burning it all down for the next quarterly results.
After cutting it out completely for a while I started lurking Reddit again because honestly while I love Lemmy for general discussion/politics/memes it just doesn’t have anything related to my more niche interests. I do however refrain from ever posting/commenting there because fuck giving them any more data from me or helping drive their engagement metrics.
Doesn’t that just mean French bread?
Didn’t spot the chronicles of amber by Roger Zelazny in the thread, so that’s my recommendation if you want a long one!
EDIT: seems somehow no one actually recommended the Foundation/Robots series by Isaac Asimov, that’s the base…
Yeah but the 10 locals are the ones that might actually end up doing something instead of shouting into the digital void.
I don’t get it. Once ID checks are here, do they think people will keep expressing these kinds of opinions publicly? Oh course not, they’re just going to keep going further underground online or find offline ways, do they really think we’ll just keep posting incriminating stuff with our real name attached?
Almost 40 eh? I’m right behind you buddy…
Honestly I’m kinda thinking the chick came up with the idea.
Where do they sell Nutella in bottles??
Still an insane stat seen from the outside, 42% of households is wild.
There’s a reason we used to make 17 kids each.
It’s a Nikon D5, the shot is at 52k ISO.
Yeah I realized that afterwards. At the end of the day moonlight is basically just sunlight but dimmer (also something you learn when trying to shoot night scenes), that’s why we can shoot “day for night” and it looks mostly correct.
EDIT: I’ve now seen this is actually the night side, so it checks out.
This is full of interesting but slightly puzzling information.
First, it’s shot at 22mm, which is a pretty wide angle, so I guess they were still pretty close when they took it.
What’s really puzzling to me though, is why did they need to crank up the exposure so much?
We’re looking at 51k ISO @ f4, I can shoot in really dark places with this kind of ISO (but I don’t, because it looks like trash).
They seem to be shooting the day side of earth as far as I can tell, so I don’t really understand why they needed that much sensitivity, instinctively I would’ve assumed you’d only need the same kind of settings you’d use on daytime exteriors here on earth (so nowhere near that ISO).
That sounds great, gonna have to give this UFO 50 a spin.
I lost 35kg within 8 months by going hardcore on controlling my diet. I did have to eat more once I started exercising, which I needed to because all the muscle was melting away right along the fat. It definitely works, but I did “fall off the wagon” once I stopped counting the calories. Now I’m trying to find that long term balance of sport and diet I can maintain in the long run.
So like a Macron. Not great, but definitely an improvement.
