this will probably go on for a long time, which is great because I won't install win11

the work featured is extremely mediocre and the "human made" label feels forced

win11 is the product of a legion of middle managers. It's embarrassing

>I think the timing of the Cybertruck starting deliveries roughly aligning with when Elon got heavily involved in politics

That and also it's just a bad product.

>That said, even though it's not to my taste, I do admire that they dared to do something different and took a big gamble on it.

A pickup truck should just be max utility, especially if you're a manufacturer making your first one

edit: agree there's a market for the raptor off-road tremor package thing, but it wasn't ford's first and they've been selling commerical trucks for 75 years. A true tesla f150 competitor would have sold like crazy, I think

Maybe, did shoes make us worse at walking barefoot?

ignoring the silly locked vertical aspect ratio, the samples shots are awful. The clipped highlights in the left corner or first picture look worse than an iPhone's. Assume that's Fuji's poorly-applied film emulation making the picture of the running track look muddy and terrible

>pro-US all my life >So: fuck US & eat shit

too bad it only took you a few moments to take on this mentality after a lifetime of goodwill. America's been hijacked you should continue to stand with it

“The moment we realized this was not actually a real commerce practice, they weren’t actually engaging in authentic commerce, we pulled it down,”

Incredible quote

Doubt that but we’ll see. As for bias it appears to be pulling sources that include fox and the Washington examiner. Does that also make it inherently right wing biased?

back in 2005 my friend and I were obsessed with the game and I told him I'd build a new computer when HL3 released because mine barely ran HL2. I still think about that for some reason and how crazy it would have been to us then that HL3 would simply never come

Four rounds of beers for three people anywhere on the west coast is like $100 now. Even in Copenhagen you can find a tall Tuborg for $1.50. Very sad

working pro for more than a decade now, maybe some off this was relevant very early on but it's really just all web forum gear chatter. What people miss is that a photographer's job isn't using a camera or lamenting settings, it's lighting. Done artificially or by modifying what's available, you have to master both. The camera is incidental and what he's describing his just picture taking. If you're interested in photography it's more useful to take a studio lighting course and learn about fixtures and modifiers than worrying about iso.

>My gripe is with oil and large interests

Both have massive lobbies and large government contracts making them large interests. Both also pollute heavily
