  • I got my work printed.

    Jump

  • What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!

    Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?

  • Awkward ain't it

  • At that low of a resolution, everyone looks alike. Did OP hit his pixel cap for the month and had to be throttled down?

  • What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 12/03/25

    Jump

  • Rewatching DS9 and then listening to The Delta Flyers commentary. I don't always A/B the episodes, I usually just watch a few to refresh my memory then listen to a few of the podcasts as time allows.

  • What TV series was mostly fine but had one outstanding episode?

    Jump

  • Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both "show and don't tell" and setting up "mystery boxes." It was downhill from there.

  • meta holiday

    Jump

  • I'm a staunch atheist who likes a holiday.

    Jesus was most likely born in the spring or fall a few years earlier than we recognize, if he was even a single person or existed at all. The Church, as it did every time, took existing holidays and co-opted them.

    The end of the Roman calendar year is an amalgam of pagan holidays that celebrate the shortest day/longest night. A lot of the traditions we associate with Xmas are celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of the day and the return to life/springtime.

    Xmas has always been a meta holiday. Most are. Enjoy the company of friends and family just as people have for millenia, no matter what banner is hanging over the mantle.

  • Erasing a Home’s Risks on Zillow Doesn’t Make Them Go Away

    Jump

  • “Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” Art Carter, chief executive officer of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, a private database for real estate brokers and agents, told the Times.

    Yea, no shit. That's the point of including climate risk when it comes to choosing a property.

    Flood prone areas don't pop up overnight. The people in Swannanoa NC were living in a known floodplain that had a massive flood about 100 years ago. Same with the Guadalupe River that averages a major flood every decade. Climate change is making these events larger and more frequent, but excluding data from a real estate listing to supposedly increase home value is nonsense at best and fraud at worst.

  • James Cameron Calls Idea Of Gen AI Replacing Actors “Horrifying,” Says Tech Will Make Human Creation More “Sacred”

  • I did not know this but I believe you completely, dear stranger.

  • James Cameron Calls Idea Of Gen AI Replacing Actors “Horrifying,” Says Tech Will Make Human Creation More “Sacred”

    Jump

  • You don't need AI to create soulless depictions of humanity, James Cameron already does that. I think he is just protecting his bread and butter from automation.

    Snark aside, I grew up loving his movies. As a film student, I loved taking them apart in critique for his mastery of technical filmmaking. As a professor, I used the DVD extras from his films to show just how forward-thinking his knowledge was of VFX. But this Avatar garbage is just the result of a kid who finally leveled up enough to produce the comic book he wrote when he was 8. It's awful.

  • 'Star Wars: Rebels' Writer Thinks Making Sabine a Jedi Was a Mistake

    Jump

  • They can rehash the Death Star plot four times, but they can't bring back the Darksaber. I feel taken advantage of.

  • The Acolyte’s Creator Says YouTubers Now Shape Star Wars More Than the Movies

  • If they listened to the fans, everything would be Andor-level writing, Mandalorian-level characters with Clone Wars-level story and world-building.

    Just do that.

  • What's the scariest movie you've watched?

    Jump

  • Watching Alien when I was a kid gave me nightmares that lasted decades, long past the time when horror movies actively scared me. I was fully aware of all of the aspects of movie making, I was in school for film, knew everything it took to make the original film and STILL would have nightmares. It dug into my hind-brain and didn't let up.
