    @taiwan_girl said in Image to Video: How did it turn out? I dont have X so cannot see the comments. Same. I have seen some ads for turning old photos into short moving video clips, and I'd have to imagine that is particularly poignant and emotional to see for older folks who don't have 4K videos of every family moment as we do today.

    @LuFins-Dad said in SpaceX Starship 36 massive explosion: Trying to catch it is really difficult. This is the best I can do. I’m sure @89th can do better. [image: 1750336451961-img_4270.png] Nope that's the best frame we have. The secondary explosion was pretty awesome, too. This is why it's called a test!

    Trump(CF) rightly wanted Europe to pay the agreed fair share costs towards NATO and defence. And by suggesting the US might quit NATO he's making them/us do it. I don't see the US leaving NATO, we share some excellent bases all around the world.

    @Renauda an American Doc Martin is in the works. I will try but doubt it will be as charming as the original.

    They’ve been doing no crack valves for quite a while. I wonder if bypasses are feasible.

    Canada’s gain. U of T is a great university- the Eastern European history department is first class. The Munk School of International Affairs is as well. Both will be welcome in this country. They should have no trouble assimilating into the culture here providing they don’t feel obliged to become Leaf’s fans.

    Little sympathy here for folk who are/have been making weapons to kill me; but yes, let's hope death was immediate and painless for everyone working there.
