David Icke, Alex Jones et al are CIA.

Maybe I’m not up to date on the situation but it seems weird the article doesn’t mention the construction of an international airport inside the Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape, a sanctuary for over 200 bird species, including flamingos and endangered Dalmatian pelicans. It’s basically opposite the island they want to develop. I visited Vlora unaware of all the plans, and a big draw for me was visiting this habitat and seeing the birds. Its a beautiful place, sad to see Albania being fucked by developers and ruining their coastline.

Unless you see it coming via unofficial means which is not uncommon in large companies. When the same department roles are advertised in bulk in different countries for example, restructuring like this is rarely done en masse so when one department goes, people start to wonder if they’re next and do some digging.

Nah they’re just wrong. TSA apparently even allows Zippos which is more lenient than Europe.

I wonder if the tethering is any good. Lightroom is pretty bad compared to Capture One and I’m not aware of many other alternatives.

If you can stand on it and roll it with your feets, that’s a log. Can’t do that with a stick. Nobody ever heard of the stick rolling championships.

Alpine White 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. Watch the film Vanishing Point for reasons.

I think we hit peak ads in '98 with this:

Don’t make em like that anymore, or do they? I wouldn’t know.

Underberg?! Or other incredibly bitter and foul liquid? It’s a novel idea but I don’t think it would really work. Maybe if you made it even more potent with sucrose octaacetate or denatonium benzoate (active ingredients in those nail varnishes that are supposed to stop you biting your nails).

See also squirrels/mice and other small rodents falling/jumping from trees. They DGAF because fall damage isn’t really a thing for them.

Nanami Togarachi, it’s a Japanese seasoning with chilli, orange peel, sesame, ginger, seaweed and sancho pepper. Looks and tastes fantastic, I put it on everything.

I looked at how much my 128GB DDR4 costs and holy shit £900. Timed my build well I feel with the 3080Ti.

I recently lost out on some work (big retouching job) due to AI, when the client came back to me to fix the huge mess, it turned out the job had just been farmed out to India by the ‘AI’ company. They weren’t even using a recent Photoshop version so were actually using less ‘AI’ than any pro retoucher would.

There are relatively small buggy/wheelbarrow ones that you walk the grid pattern with.

I do retouching work. Recently lost a client to an ‘AI’ retouching firm. When the client came back to me to fix loads of stuff and I looked at the output, it became apparent that the work had actually just been outsourced to India and there was no magic AI solution.

Gen AI is an amazing tool but not a one click solution like so many are claiming.

Just a heads up in case you haven’t updated firmware on your 980. I wasn’t aware of the problem and lost my c drive a few months back.

Hold up so theyre banning flippers and portapacks etc?

I know a few producers, the only one who is full time doesn’t really need the money. The rest mostly do muaic tuition or similar, seems like a good match if you know an instrument(s).

I know a remote worker in Iran, went dark for a few days this week. Apparently they can’t call the UK, no internet, ended up relaying messages via a friend in Brazil via sat phone.

Taking an international flight tomorrow, Friday 13th. My wife is in 11A. Not sure how to feel about this.
