    @89th said in A 12 month exposure: I mean, it's pretty good but it's just a building. I would be more impressed if he paid someone to stand there for 12 months. I thought it was interesting story about one of the very first photograph, of a street scene in Paris (1839) It looks so empty, when in reality, there were lots of people in the photo. But, because the exposure was so long, the moving people did not show up. [image: daguerre-oldest-photo-paris-2.jpg] https://mymodernmet.com/daguerre-oldest-paris-photo/

    @Friday said in Anyone watching QEII's funeral?: I heard a commentator say 5.1 billion people watched. 63% of the world's population. Don't know if that's accurate, but I wouldn't be surprised. Yes, it is accurate. They use the same satellite technique that is used to estimate crowds on the Mall for a presidential inauguration. Trust the science.

    Sounds like some of the plastic bits are starting to show their age. Similar thing happened inside my korg digital and is happening to my sister's clavinova. I'd replace.

    Jeans are inherently racist.

    We may have. I've been under the weather for three or four days.

    Yeah, pretty cool. We really should start considering that there are three branches of photography these days: film photography digital photography computational photography (phones) They've each got their strengths and weaknesses, and none can really cancel out the others.

    Or maybe he wasn't as good at influence peddling as the current guy. I wouldn't let him hear you say that - you'll be the subject of a long Truth Social diatribe. Literally tens of people will be baying for your blood.

    While I don't love politicians, without them, nothing gets done. Sadly.

    @LuFins-Dad But such a rarity that such an amazing catch would be filmed.

    @jon-nyc said in Every Republican is Hitler: @Axtremus It’s almost as if he doesn’t care about anything if it’s not about him. Yes, but at least, according to the New York Times, he has "soft edges." [image: giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e47df2boytbvjgbf0dyqeo43l4ebq9r4fzxh8vkt6s4&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g]

    @Ivorythumper I don't know. Intelligible audio? Maybe it was a compromise that came out of a committee.
