Sure. But to be fair, you take the fur off a bunny and it looks pretty similar to the scientist's aproximation.
No such thing. We are all just people on a spectrum somewhere between good and evil. No such thing as pure good, and no such thing as pure evil.
Even Hitler loved dogs.
That being said, however, I can't think of a single positive thing about Trump
Back in the day when camping wasn't just condos on wheels; when the best a poor man could hope for was a pop-up tent trailer in a campsite with a picnic table and one of those swiveling barbecues on a post, Instant coffee was my jam.
Early morning. Mist from the lake still not fully burned off. No constant background hum from power lines. Just me, getting the barbecue fire started while drinking my cup of instant coffee that I made with my portable kettle that plugs into my trucks cigarette lighter port.
Instant coffee will always be special to me.
Called it.
The moment I saw an example of how it tended to shrink the size of North America on the map, I KNEW is be waking up to a story about the Cheeto administration having a problem with it.
Because the world likes us more than it does them right now and Trump can't stand it.
I don't think anything will make me feel older today than the phrase "20th Century movies". Lol.
Imajica by Clive Barker flipped a switch in my (then) teenage brain making me understand that "fantasy" books don't need to have swords, wizards, and all the other tropes. That the idea of "fantasy" as a genre is far far richer than I imagined.
It's not even about "spending your own resources on others". Its about where the government spends YOUR money.
If I pay $100 dollars in income tax (for example), is the government spending that $100 dollars on MY healthcare, MY roads, MY sewage and water lines, MY roads.
Or is the government handing my $100 dollars off to private contracts who are then profit motivated to spend only $20 dollars providing those services so that they can keep as much of it as possible?
Socialism isn't "free stuff" or directly paying for other peoples stuff. It's about making sure the tax dollars are spent on US. When that happens, a surplus results that allows us to help others who are struggling.
The writer of the video is (presumably) a paid, working writer. And as such they should know better.
it's like a car reviewer saying "its a friction point that it won't win the Grand Prix" when he's reviewing an '81 Chevette.
Politically there's always a bunch of conspiracies. I don't really know to much about that. All I know is that he was a pretty rabid horn-dog.
Sure. If for whatever reason you need to re-edit something that you didn't shoot yourself and you don't have access to the source files. I suppose that would be one reason to edit the MP4 directly. (so for example, if you're re-editing someone's youtube video to make a remix of it for Tiktok). But I don't consider that to be "professional" editing.
Professional editing is getting hired by a filmmaker (or creating video yourself) that you then edit into a completed work. And in those cases, I'd question why they're either a) filming in a format like MP4 in the first place, or b) not making the LOG or ProRes source files available to their editor.
Video Editing (Free DaVinci Resolve): Free Resolve on Linux lacks native H.264/H.265 MP4 decoding due to licensing. It requires running FFmpeg scripts to transcode footage to ProRes/DNxHR before editing.
If you're editing MP4 directly, you're an amateur who has no business editing anything. MP4 is a compressed finalized format suitable for distribution. It gives you virtually zero wiggle room for color correction, etc...
There's a reason professionals shoot log and shoot in a RAW format that is made specifically for editing. It's only when the project is ready to be exported should you be going anywhere near MP4.
