Re: Comparing cameras on the new iPhones - 3 days ago

Quotesekker Quoterjmacs I've been thinking about upgrading my 6Plus to an 8Plus or Xr, and even though the processor is faster on the Xr I'm inclined toward the 8Plus because of the dual cameras. The new XR (iPhone11) has dual cameras again. But the 2 cameras in the 11 are wide (normal) and super-wide, whereas all the previous dual camera phones were wide (normal) and telephoto. The telephoto

Re: The End of the Camera? - 4 days ago

One of the photographers that I follow on Youtube, Tony Northrup, has been railing on camera manufacturers to start adopting the ease of use of phones into cameras, if the camera manufacturers want to stem the tide of falling sales. As space-time suggests, the manufacturers need to be adopt cell phone ease of use so that people can easily share to social media. Either make it such that photos can

Re: Great video: Democrat candidates unite against gun violence - 4 days ago

Many comments are regarding the lack of Andrew Yang in the video, and the commentators sound just like Bernie-Bots in 2016, some even going so far as to calling for people not to vote for any other candidate who becomes the nominee.

Re: Radio host lures women... - 15 days ago

This goes hand-in-hand with the sermon that I listened to last week of which I posted about below. Women in the workforce and being in leadership positions sow discord and confusion in the world. It’s all because Eve listened to the devil serpent and then told Adam what to do. Remember, a women is part of a man, Eve came from Adam, from his rib. A truly happy woman will be a subservient compani

Re: Did Trump Just Nominate a White Nationalist to the Circuit Court? - 17 days ago

The Advocate article does something that I think should become the norm, instead of saying 'the Trump White House' they said 'the Trump-Pence White House'. This is important, because with all the focus on Trump, we lose sight of the fact that there is a Dominionist theology advocate sitting so close to the head job, that it should scare everyone. Get rid of Trump, and while everybody breathes a s

Re: Need Low-Light Camera Advice - 24 days ago

I would suggest going to a full-frame Sony A7 or A7II, the full-fame sensor will give you better light-gathering capabilities. The A7 body is $798 and the A7II body is $898. Also, between f4 and f2.8 is one stop, not three. f2.8 lets in twice as much light as f4.

The problem is poorly written, it's ambiguously stated. Period. Either answer is correct, based on different interpretation of how it's written. If this was given on a test, and the teacher marked either answer wrong, I would be miffed and, if necessary, would take it all the way past the principal to the school board. Use brackets to clearly define what you are looking for. The

I think politically he was quite to the left, and not a right-wing Trumpie as many here have implied. I occasionally listened to Workers World and stuff that they would talk about, max espoused similar views. Looking at the political spectrum as a circle, he seemed close to the point where the far left meets the far right.
