What Is the Best Type of Camera for General Photography?

Choosing the right camera can be daunting, especially with the variety of options available today. Whether you’re a budding enthusiast or a seasoned photographer, understanding what is the best type of camera for general photography is essential to capturing stunning images that resonate with your artistic vision. This guide will delve into the different types of cameras, their features, and…

My life expectancy increases by decades whenever YinWar discuss their brand of fanservice and their boundaries on that matter. These men never mince words to remind their own fandom and media alike that whatever fanservice crumbs they drop are nothing but a performance, and that their off-camera relationship is nobody's business but theirs since they're a lot closer than they'll ever let the public see.

seven or eight times now ive watched the episodes in which they take the andromache and this is the first time ive realized that during the initial battle, after they board, every time the camera is from dufresne's perspective it's blurrier than otherwise because. he took his glasses off for the fight

Bez krwi nie ma wampira. Jest to substancja, która decyduje o jego istnieniu, podobnie jak o istnieniu człowieka. Without blood there is no vampire. It is this substance which determines his existence, just as it does the existence of a human.

I've seen discussions about Watcher pop up everywhere these past few days and it took me a while to realize what it even referred to cause I never watched the ghost hunting show, and I am still only working with context clues, really, but it always sounds to me like they want to create a new streaming service the same price as dropout for one show? Probably (hopefully) they have more shows, but that's the only one I as an outsider even know about, which is... a choice

But all I keep thinking is that they should have just made a kickstarter if they need a boost of money - right? Like, okay, so maybe their stuff costs more than is worth it with 'just' ads, patreon and merch, I get it, shooting a professional show is expensive. But like, just kickstart a new season. A lot of patreon supporters will still back the campaign, people who don't want monthly payments may be fine with a one time thing, and then when you put the season on youtube, you'll still get the ad revenue. And then you can have some kickstarter exclusive stuff, sure, but not put your entire catalogue behind a paywall. Especially building up a whole new site to host their stuff with accounts and payment processing and everything cannot be cheap in and of itself.

I'm guessing they already deterred too many of their fans from giving them money with their current plans for this to be feasible, but man

the thing about sports documentaries is that they have to appeal to such a broad mass of people. you need to have enough detailed insight that it feels worth it for fans who spend their every waking moment thinking about the sport/team/player while also being general enough that someone who doesn't know the first thing about the sport doesn't get so confused they turn off. and that's why i think they need 2 versions of any sports documentary. one where it's all surface level, here's the basic rules and people kind of documentary, and another where you get to hear the exact kind of bitchy gossip athletes are talking about while eating their lunch

Besk/Instance Lobocorp AU?

Instance drops into the first free chair she sees, legs still heavy under her and her eyes hurting from not blinking; the crown of eyes and thorns digging into her head hurts every time she so much as moves. "How was it?" asks Besk from her paperwork; that faintly glimmering shield that floating around her notices Instance's movement and slides between them as always, an ever-present barrier desperate to keep Besk safe in a world where no one ever is.

Instance only grunts in response; when Besk laughs, through the barrier separating them Instance can see only the faintest glimpses of her smile.

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

Scientists torturing backronyms/acronyms happens a lot, actually (see my tags for examples)

Backronyms

Physicists suck at naming things (I can say this because I'm a MechE and I have had to deal with so many physicists), but occasionally they have a stroke of brilliance. Like, a friend of mine worked on a dark matter detector called DarkSide. That's so goofy that it wraps back around to good.

Anyway, there's this superconducting fusion reactor in france called WEST. It's notable for having first-wall shielding tiles (the innermost surface of the vacuum chamber, directly facing the fusion plasma) entirely made of tungsten.

There are a lot of materials used for plasma-facing components – tungsten, molybdenum, graphite, beryllium, various composites and combinations of the above – but it's pretty rare for a reactor to go full tungsten. It can take extremely high temperatures, but it's brittle and expensive, and "high-Z" (high molecular weight) impurities in the plasma cause their own issues. So, the main purpose of WEST is to investigate the viability of an all-tungsten first wall and divertor.

To that end, they tortured an acronym until they got it to work:

Tungsten Environment in Steady-state Tokamak

Or "WEST"

Get it?

GEW IW??
