Sometimes I forget about how much of a weird history nerd I am until someone reminds me that "no...not everyone already knows about weird history shit off the top of their head."
The US and Canada will never be the same again
As a Canadian I think, if we can weather the storm without Cheetolini going full "annex" mode, we'll come out the other end better; more diversified and secure in trade relationships, and stronger on the world stage.
You end up with noise that’s hard to remove
I respectfully disagree. As long as you have control over your exposure triangle, you can have far more quality control than any phone sensor.
Maybe I'm just old school, but actual proper physical glass lenses with optical zoom will always perform better than tiny lenses that fake just about everything digitally.
At what point does AOC go full Princess Leia and pick up a blaster.
Thanks for this. I need to create a mental health list to stop my habit of doomscrolling.
Spending every lunch hour on the library computer with three friends in 1994 playing this is probably why I didn't have a girlfriend.
If it was on film, then you had the fidelity to spare to upscale it in HD the normal way (by re-digitizing it)
Yep. It's the reason The Original Series and The Next Generation got HD remasters, but Voyager and DS9 didn't. The latter two were shot on digital and so it wasn't possible, while the first two were shot on film.
It’s a very complex subject that is difficult to solve
In a sane world, I agree with you. But we're dealing with a man who himself doesn't realise its complexity and only understands strategies that are "blunt and absurd".
We can use as nuanced and soft-toed strategies all we want and he'll never get it through his orange head.
Without presuming your level of knowledge about world history, I'll say that Trump used Fentanyl the same way that Hitler used the Reichstag fire, as an excuse to give him the emergency power to do such things unilaterally.
God I'm exhausted.
At this point, we just need to cut it all off completely. Oil shipments, electricity, lumber, aluminum. All of it.
I know that that's a hard ask for those industries that are affected, and if it means the federal goverment has to temporarily raise the deficit in order to subsidize those industries it'll be crazy expensive and inflation will shoot up. But I'm convinced that that would be only a short amount of time that that would actually be needed.
Let the United States go one week without our stuff. 100%...fuck 'em. They'll last one week. Maybe two. And when they quit their bullshit, make it clear that we are diversifying our business partners making it easier to pull it from them again anytime they let Trump open is fucking mouth.
Hold our resources hostage against them.
I live in a different city and often find myself wishing for my mother's Portuguese Salted Cod Casserole. It was out typical sunday family dinner when I still lived in the same city as them. Not a cultural tradition, just because it was my favourite dish.
But the nature of it ensures that I'll never ever ever have the patience to do it myself, considering that step one is soaking the dried salted cod in cold water that you repeatedly replace for up to 48 hours in order to get the salt out.
