Budget Alec Baldwin is visiting in March. The last time was the Iraq invasion.

For the first time since 2003 I'm going to physically protest something the US fucked up. Good job America, you made me care.

Practice. I don't get good consistent good exposures either. Try bracketing your shots. Set your exposure, take the shot, then go one stop up and down for the next two shots. See which one works best and adjust accordingly. Shoot RAW if your camera supports it, it'll help you recover over- and under...

Kodak Brownie Nr 2, Ilford HP5 film, home development. This is what a snapshot looks like with WW1-era tech.

tl;dr: you can see the seams from the rewrites Leia's ship being in the final battle didn't bother me at the time, the whole finale seems like a super rush on the Rebellion's end so maybe they didn't have the time to drop her off at Tatooine. though ANH saying they want to retreive the plans is sill...

Have an Xbone, don't have BF1. I only just found out it plays BR discs.

Tbh the x-wing air strike in the middle of the film was the worst for that. What a lame arse air strike. Literally all it did was kill a bunch of mooks. Modern day fighter jets would have blown up the whole facility. Kinda makes sense since just before Cassian radio'ed in that there were Rebels on-...

I'm just super stoked we we finally get to see Y-wings di what they're supposed to do: drop bombs.

One, this is the prequel we've been waiting for since the eighties.

Two, it's super depressing.

Three, the space battle porn will nurture me for years to come.

8/10, would watch again, avoid 3D like the plague though.

THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARES

So I've been watching Black Mirror even though it's supremely depressing and got to San Junipero. That ending. Jesus Christ. Black Mirror hits hard but that was just a sledgehammer. For those who don't know: Black Mirror is The Twilight Zone for misanthropes. It takes current or near-future "wa...

Is that the original they renewed or one of the brazillion spinoffs?

I will admit it's strangely addictive comfort TV on a rainy Sunday with a microwave dinner for one.

Next steps: run CP/M, write new ROM once my EEPROM programmer is finished.

Zilog Z80 @2Mhz
2x32K Cypress Semiconductor SRAM
2K system ROM with memory and IO access routines
40-pin IDE interface
9600 baud RS-232 interface

Should run CP/M just fine, haven't tried it though

The home computer revolution has arrived

Late S3 and S4 was turning into a different show and it was a lot better for it. I just wish the same people had been in charge since day one.

The original series was undeniably cheesy at times.

Logic is a little tweeting bird, chirping in a meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad. Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly? Your ears are green!

Star Trek Beyond is the tits go see it NAOW yeah that's going to be a problem for, oh, the next two weeks I'm happy to hear that it's good. From what I've been picking up it's far from perfect but it has the right spirit. Too bad they spoiled like half the plot in the trailers. Wild guess: Enterpri...

I agree it's a clusterfuck. Though I find it ironic that people are talking about the leave voters being motivated by nationalism and how this is bad, and in the same breath going on about how Scottish nationalism is ok if it leads to them leaving another union. It's a funny twist. When Scotland vo...

I don't know if Leave is the right choice. But to me it sounds like you're in a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of predicament with regards to staying/leaving. That said, most of the leave arguments that I've been exposed to were flat-out bullshit. Leave is objectively not the right choi...
