PNW residing collective of rabbits in a trenchcoat pretending to be a person with a job and rent and the rest of that crap. Clearly the live action role playing has gone too far.

Fond of tea, beer, and the destruction of capitalism.
I learned a thing. I thought the chewable form was to get it into your system faster.

Now I'm wondering how much pill aversion is driving men's tendency to avoid medical care as they'll do a chewable for a lifestyle drug but not a generic blood pressure medication.

What organization is going to want to keep a product around that regularly spouts heresy, is programmed to claim that it will accept correction, and then does it again. Repeatedly.

And that those differences in doctrine make them absolutely incompatible and that historically any debate over the merits of a particular point of doctrine was conducted with sharp objects.

Which makes me very curious as to who they think is going to be happy with the product they're producing.

In the meantime there's been a number of affordable anamorphic lenses being released for consumers. So at least I get a 2:1 aspect ratio out of a 1.33 anamorphic on my Fuji's 3:2 sensor. Wouldn't mind going wider though.

I shot B&W film for a number of years and still have a massive backlog of negatives to scan. I love the look of it but I don't love the process. It's time consuming, expensive, and takes a LOT of water.

I'm hoping that rumors of Fuji producing a digital X-Pan come to fruition at some point.

Looks like QuarkXPress is still around. I remember seeing the boxes for that when I was buying Zork at Egghead Software back during the Reagan administration.

I follow a few people on instagram who do work with AI video but most of it still looks like a music video directed by a rubber fetishist on day 3 of a meth binge.

It feels like the best the technology can aspire to is something like Richard Linklater's Waking Life. Which we don't need more of.

The same one where rich people are just like the poors except they just worked harder. Just like all the perfectly average in every way young couples in the NYT real estate section who are looking for a modest $1.2M starter apartment.

They’re probably better off converting to rent-a-rig subscription services for gamers. At least that’s a profitable use for all them GPU’s

I’m sure their buyer knows that their next shipment will be loaded with tariffs and they can’t put a $40 bottle of cheap wine on the shelf and expect a picky bitch like myself not to notice.

People probably used all the pockets back when you'd have to carry a bunch of rolls of film in a couple of different speeds.

I don't miss that. At all. Not even a little.

Saw that too. Guess we can expect Amazon to ship a briefcase full of unmarked bills for next day delivery as I think they’re the most reliant on that visa

It's early fall so there's a lot of people who are probably visiting family before the kids go back to school. And it takes far more than 24 hours to get back to the US from India. So there's a lot of people who are going to be stranded unless a court puts their foot down.

There's a section C to the proclamation which states that the Secretary of Homeland Security can waive the requirement for individuals, companies, or industries.

Which seems like an open bid for bribery by tech firms. Amazon for example has 10-15k H-1B visas per year (they last 6 years I think)
