Yeah that’s inaccurate. You may wish to acquaint yourself with just how the hybrid system for that generation of Prius cycles between ICE and electric.

And before the article I did not know that Global Entry includes PreCheck. Thus, site usefulness > 0, which was literally the only point being discussed.

And yet those who did not know this, but now do, still have reason to find the site useful. 

I never liked him to begin with. The dude takes himself way too seriously, which is a bit ironic. 

They get practically sharper, which is all most photogs give a damn about, until diffraction kicks in.

Nice rebuttal. The man doth protest too much.

Fair enough, though the implication that Aliens was the very first movie to ever have that archetype as you’ve described it is probably not accurate.

Except he clearly has special ops training. Burke was a bean-counter with an agenda. I kept thinking of Henry Cavill from Fallout while I was watching Dillahunt. The point being there are many stories that have the “guy who tags along but would screw over anyone on a moment’s notice” role - not just Aliens.

I’ve been working with them mostly over, hmm, maybe the last 3-4 years, so not anywhere close to the beginning, and they’ve gotten looser in some of their checks-and-balances, but it’s not always consistent title to title, either.  They’ve got the Backlot working pretty well, from what I can tell, so that even a small…

Ding ding ding. I’m surprised I had to go this far to find it. What many don’t realize is that digitally-acquired series and movies deal with this stuff almost daily. It’s up to the production just how much they want to spend on QC, which may not catch every dead pixel on every pass, painting out the pixels and…

Yeah, I’m a huge Aliens fan, but I’ve seen so many movies where “large group gets pared down to small group gets pared down even further for the final survivors” movies over the decades that calling this a clone when there is so little else that is directly comparable is a bit much. Though admittedly I do remember…

As alluded to in the wall of text, you stop the lens down. You don’t actually shoot at f/0.95. You shoot at f/1.8, or f/2.4 or something, where the lens will be sharper than a different lens that is f/1.8 or 2.4 wide open.

People are dumb as rocks and I’m tired of it.

Nice price or no dice?

The worst thing about that statement is that it is essentially saying “let people do these types of things because I’m too lazy to contribute to solutions.”

I’ve been tempted to rebuild mine because the arm that comes out the front is stuck and I’m afraid to try to force it!  Great set.

Boy, this is a good question because it could go so many ways.

Let’s see... no U1 Wideband chip, and weigh 384 grams, more than many competing cans.

You’ve done a Yeoman’s job, my friend!  Take the rest of the day off. 

From first watching DC Follies when I was a kid, I loved Fred Willard. He had a presence and likability that instantly made me feel warmer when he was on screen. Then backtracking to Nick Classics and Fernwood 2 Night, to a long list of many other appearances (Best In Show, Spinal Tap, etc.,) he never disappointed…
