How do Americans win their country back?
  • Legally, there are a couple challenges to be made to his eligibility that will likely be brought by some states. The main one that comes to mind is If there is a case for insurrection then the 14th amendment applies.

    Another potential is the 25th amendment. This would require J.D. Vance to get half of the cabinet on board to remove Trump from power. I'm wondering if this is something that is already in the works considering J.D. Vance's true feelings for Trump that were revealed in the past. It's probably a long shot, but who knows.

  • Fairy by Me : Someone recommended I post this here

    Haven't done any real art in decades. Decided I was feeling a little artistic yesterday and created this. Hope you enjoy.

    Fairy by Me : Spent the 8 hours doing this and have nobody to share it with

    This is mostly done with brush strokes and blending in Affinity photo 1.8. Haven't done any real art in dozens of years. I'm happy with how this turned out.

    Dragonfly hung out with me at the lake

    Went to the lake when spring weather started to set in. There were four of these guys hanging around me keeping the mosquitos at bay. They sat with me the entire time I was there occasionally flying over to the water to drink and coming back.

    Help me understand why rolling shutter effect happens
  • Most camera sensors can only be read one line at a time. This means that the second line isn't captured until the first line is completed. This goes for all of the remaining lines on the sensor of which there are thousands. For example a 24 megapixel camera might have around 4000 lines of pixels to capture.

    The image processor captures the state of the top line and moves on to the next. By the time it's captured the 2nd line, if the subject has moved, that line is no longer aligned with what was captured in the first line. Continue this 3998 more times and you have a frame of a video where the bottom of the frame is further ahead than the top of the frame.

    To slow this down to a human understandable scale, while watching a video close one eye, then open it and close the other. By the time you've opened the second eye and closed the first things have moved. Just don't do it while driving.

  • What's the best concert or live performance you've ever attended, and what made it unforgettable?"
  • Las Vegas, early June in the early 2000s they used to hold "JuneFest". $10 to get in for the day, all day outdoor event with everyone from REO Speedwagon, Joan Jett and Jethro Tull to Kansas, Jefferson Starship and Bad Company and more. It was a who's who and who's still alive of the classic rock genre in 2003. But it was one hell of an event. I think it got killed due to lax id checks at the vendors and some violence and heat related injuries.

  • Netflix Hints at Price Increases, Plans to Retire Basic Service Amid Ad-Tier Growth
  • Netflix already costs over $185 a year. For that price I can rent 6 5k UHD movies a month at redbox and get much higher quality viewing. I can't find 6 good things to watch any given month on Netflix. I might turn my membership back on for the final season of Cobra Kai or Stranger Things, but there's just not much else that's compelling me to spend that money.

  • Adult Mourning Dove

    Saw the Juvenile post and felt it needed a companion post for an adult.
