We have to stop rewarding the neo liberal and "moderate"parts of the Democrats. We also can’t keep letting the fascists rewrite the rules on the fly. Newsom is another clay neo-liberal trying to contort and reshape himself into something just fascist enough and just moderate enough to be acceptable to the plutocrats.

Mamdani proves that there are eager and active liberal Democrats and they are on the sidelines while “main stream” candidates are rolled out time and again as the best option…

Don’t bother I’m never voting for the least bad candidate because it’s not working.

I was trying to repatriate to Italy but they closed down the policy that would have let me return with my family.

Find places with good kid friendly areas. Lots of zoos and children’s museums have toddler friendly play areas. I loved have a stroller and big diaper bag it let me carry extra of everything and a kid could nap while the other played which extended our time out.

Lots of cities and towns in the southern US have drop off daycare where you can leave a kid or two for a few hours while parents get a meal or some time together. Many hotels also have a list of babysitters plus there are online sites that pre screen sitters.

Naked pixel 8 check again. I do need to add a screen protector just so that it’s got a little bit more protection.

I dont believe it does.

In my case it was population 600, 1 paved road through it, no stop lights, 1 or 2 roadside stores, a small k-8 school, and a 2 room post office.

A good cup of coffee and the universe does not care about existence.

6:30am during the school year 8ish in summers if I can.

Yeah it’s a bummer low flow toilets have really come a long way and now are capable of flushing more than the old 3 gallon ones ever could

How new is this toilet?

He thought it was the seat of Catholic power and was driven to a frenzy.

It’s not much but the company I work for just announced our factory it’s carbon neutral without purchasing offsets. Rather than announce a date in the future we just went ahead and did it.

I quit reddit and have no intention to go back. Its become total crap and full of boosted ads.

If they want to inspire then get out and march from the front. I’m not sticking my neck out until they do.

No. Even if things change for political reasons if you are better supported with medication and therapy you should seek them as fast and safe as possible.

Support can make a huge difference today and then we can plan for tomorrow.

Remember when American tax payers gave billions to telecoms to install fiber in rural America?

Don’t worry they conveniently forgot too.

That plus other services like rural hospitals and education are huge drawbacks to living in most of rural America.

Ok, since were (as a group not you specifically) are getting pedantic, I should clarify that any recording of video is inherently compressed. There is no way to capture 100% of an image ever. There is optical compression created by the lenses, then their is encoding compression created by the Analog to Digital conversion, or if capturing in analog there is physical medium compression. Film has grain size and quality which limits it resolution, analog tape is limited by the speed, width, and magnetic medium density.

So for the sake of this larger discussion Uncompressed should probably refer to the point at which the content is being captured to a medium regardless of what that medium is.

Now in the context of broadcast and professional video production Uncompressed means specifically that the transport and capture of the content is dont done without the removal of any part of the data. Now even that is a little misleading because the sensors on most professional cameras can capture higher data rates than 12G, but the transport specification only allows for 12G we have to use chroma sub-sampling to go from 444 to 422 when we put the content onto the wire.

So all that said, when I talk about Uncompressed UHD video requiring 12G I mean that no codec is applied, and no frames are dropped. We are running at the maximum specified bandwidth of our link which is 12G UHD video at 59.94 frames per second. Every pixel is written every frame regardless of if its a camera pointed at a wall watching paint dry or not.

So, last thing on Lossless compression, as a professional I frequently take issue with codecs that claim lossless quality because frequently I can see the difference between the vast majority of compressed formats vs uncompressed formats. Sometimes instantly, sometimes it takes a few min before I see the compression. Lossless compression generally is one of theos 9 out of 10 doctors things were the majority of people say they cant see a difference therefor they can claim its “lossless.” I can frequently see the difference between 444 and 422 chroma subsampling, and that is not even considered compression. I am one of the annoying people who walks into a bar and asks why all the HD tvs are set to “fill” on an SD channel.

If you force Ads then I will replace your equipment. The only reason I use Roku is to avoid the Ads built into “smart TVs”

When its dry, brush and shop vac. If that’s not enough, then damp tarry cloth and two buckets, one with clean water, and one to rinse in, never will the two meet.
