I have a mirrorless Panasonic that rivals any DSLR for noise levels. It just makes one big springy sound instead of the clack-clack of DSLRs.

There’s actually laws in some countries requiring that cameras make a noise when used. Blame the perverts who stick their phone under women’s skirts. So if you have to electronically make a sound when you don’t make one mechanically, why not a camera-ish sound?

46% of voters. It wasn’t even 19.5% of the population.

That click, every time you shoot, is so pleasant mirrorless cameras actually purposely emulate it.

I read an argument once that the Roman Empire truly died with Justinian. He was the last emperor to natively speak Latin, build grand monuments and seek to rule the Med. With his death, the nation moved away from what you might consider the Eastern Roman Empire towards what is most commonly associated with the…

Sure, but the head of their government doesn’t cover for them. Hell, even Harper didn’t go near that shit.

Yes, there are violent leftists. Ecoterrorists and communist revolutionaries for the most part. There aren’t many of them, simply because communism remains largely discredited and nobody really gives a shit about trees. Nothing nearly as motivating as race.

Yeah. Varys totally wears hats, or at least he would if he wasn’t smart enough to stay way in the south in the first place and avoiding the issue altogether.

To be fair, the reason why they’re not talking is because the “alt-left” doesn’t exist. It’s something Donald Trump invented (or cribbed from the nazi-net either/or).

A nuclear plant leaking into the Pacific is like you eyedropping a little piss into a swimming pool.

The only article I can find about anyone offering him a job is a Reuters article citing Julian Assange, who is hiding in an Ecuadoran embassy trying to run out rape charges. Because of course he would.

1) There are, at most, 200 Sentilinese in the world. Again, not enough to be a subspecies. That is the point of this discussion and I’m not letting anyone move the goal posts.

First of all, arrival dates do not mean “last contact” date. Aborigines had contact with nearby native people throughout their history. Also, the Andamanese didn’t even arrive on their islands until ~26,000 years ago. 

Kodiak bears haven’t mixed with Grizzlies in possibly 70,000+ years. There are no extent groups of humans which have been isolated for anywhere near that long. We mix too damn much to develop subspecies. That’s not changing unless/until we start sending people into space on a permanent basis.

+1 injection in the buttocks.

That’s a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation. Humans are monotypic, we have no subspecies (or, depending on how you classify our close relatives, we killed or interbred them into extinction).

My first thought was “You sold your stuff to move *from* Canada *to* the US?” Then again, that’s cynical 2017 me thinking. Circa 2014 me probably would’ve been like “Yeah. Gotta do what you gotta do.”

Courthouse wedding (even small chapel) plus potluck reception at someone’s home should cost you <$250. Don’t try to live like a 1%er for a day when you’re not the other 364 and you won’t have to sell your shit to get hitched.

Well...they pretty much did. Then they made fun of that in DS9. Shit went off the rails on Enterprise.
