I use manual when I'm shooting RAW and want to get better control for shutter speed. I like to run under exposed settings between one or two steps since I can just up the exposure just fine in post but I can get much more consistent focus in less than ideal lighting.

I can't speak for newer cameras, though. As the last camera that I used is released on 2012. The auto settings on that camera (Pentax K5-II) is atrocious.

Hot take, Michael Kirkbride carried TES lore. Even the interesting parts of Skyrim is based from his writing.

Is this sarcastic where the 'apolitical' friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?

This is why I've adopted the ACG-style rating for reviewing stuff. So, for movies it'll be basically: must watch asap; wait till available to stream/BD/pirate; watch if you got nothing else to watch; skip.

Jackdaws aren’t crows

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

🥲

That's what Jesus would say! I'm on to you 👀

From Steve Jobs's biography, it's also because he loved apples so much that he once got hospitalized for eating nothing but apples.

How about me

Although I might be cheating because I have multiple phones (for work -- I assure you)

Soo, by that logic it's either going to be 3rd party or we got WW3 going on US soil that Brandon gets to enjoy a 3rd term at the office.

Ahh the beautiful wonders of Agile software development.

Concepts of a plan.

The endgame will be Gemini generating videos based on the information they've harvested off you.

Is it PITA to run if you have Nvidia GPU?

This is me right now. The job market has been so shit I’ve just keeping it together while trying to utilize my accumulated network of connections and start my own business.

So, uhh, I got prime when the pricing is glitched and it only cost me less than 2 dollars. If I sub to a twitch streamer Amazon is actually losing money 🗿

That big magic button is the red button that launches nukes.

I lost my shit when he interviewed Lowkey for the second time, and Lowkey asked him if he condemned Rupert Murdoch because he publicly funds illegal Israeli settlers, providing evidence to support his claim. All the life drained from his face, and he immediately ended the interview.

Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I'll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.

How many Jedi are there during their peak? I think it's around ten thousand jedi. Compared to the galaxy population of 100 quadrillion sentient beings spread across the galaxy, I'm not too surprised a lot of people thought they're a myth.
