The issue with chlorinated chicken isn’t about the chlorine itself, it’s because it’s a process used to counter unsafe/dirty farming conditions, and can make it harder to detect the bacteria and salmonella in the end product.

Nope they mean “the fear god”, a god made of fear.

I think for this one we can dust off one of my old favourites: “va te faire enculer à sec avec du gravier”.

Am I still going crazy or what, trade deficit =/= tariffs right??

Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it’s got what plants crave).

Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.

Sorry, I don’t want to be shitty, but I found his joke much better, because I understood and laughed right away without needing disclaimers, spoiler texts or to click any links, it was direct and to the point.

Unfortunately a lot of European countries have been going down that dark path, just not as far along as the US. I’m cautiously hopeful that the current events will help steer us back in the right direction but we’ll see…

Next stop: banning folks just for looking/spending too much time on these posts.

In case anyone’s wondering, there’s a few reasons for that. Firstly, of course the subject itself is badass. Secondly composition-wise we have what I call a “dynamic diagonal” which leads your eyes from the main subject to the background following the same line. The subject is back/side-lit with hard light giving an intense contrasty look. Finally, and that’s probably the main one, the fog/smoke is lifting up the shadows as you move into the picture away from the camera, making the main subject much more contrasty and stand out from the background despite being overall the same colours/brightness.

Pierogi?

Right that sounds reasonable then. Switching boot order is a piece of cake and the Linux drive would be the only 128gb one in the whole array (I have a lot of drives, including a setup with stablebit drivepool, will that work?). After I’m done with this current gig in a couple days I should have a small window of free time, maybe I’ll finally get to it!

Caveat number 3 is the reason I’m still on windows, I take it that’s still not an option then.

Yeah is that completely safe? I’m really tempted to try out Mint and I have an old M2 from my previous machine I could format and use for it. The PC is my work/editing station though so can’t afford any risk. I can’t really make the switch since I’m still dependent on LR+PS (Adobe…) but most of my other software should work, and I’ve just always wanted to get into Linux but not sure if it’ll actually benefit me and my work or if it’s just gonna cause me even more hassle than windows currently does.

I’m familiar with messing around in the BIOS, changing boot priority and formatting stuff and whatnot.

So we’ll have to go to libre office to spell arse?

Gestapo shit.

That, and the inevitable bureaucratic nightmare that awaits for standardising across makes and updating the infrastructure.

Yeah not to sound negative but European tech generally sucks ass. The Netherlands and Nordic countries are maybe a bit of an exception but they’re still using fax in countries like France and Germany…

What a grim yet totally accurate way to think about it.

The only reason I opened the article was to find out what FSR meant. They never actually spell it out, you can understand it’s AI upscaling from the context but I guess they just assume you know the acronym…
