Christian Scientist
Question from an European: which kind of christian are you talking about? The catholic church at least perfectly accepts science, and apologized for past errings. Don't forget the big bang theory was given to humanity by a Jesuit! I don't think the lutherans e.g. in germany much differ in that stance towards science.
Sure, over in the States you apparently have many strange sects that would be laughed or thrown out of pretty much any church around here. I'll guess you mean those.
Note: I'm not really a churchgoer, but have a catholic upbringing.
Seriously, Bloomberg? Please look up the meaning of "breeches". Then find that you meant to write "breaches". Shame!
I am reasonable well versed in astrophotography using a (self-modified) DSLR or specialized cam (color planetary cam or monochrome + filters for deep sky in my case). My question was meant specifically about the electronic viewfinder of mirrorless cameras (e.g. R6 or similar), how well (or not) they work in this field.
In another post, there was a remark about the risk of losing night vision when using the electronic viewfinder, which might indeed be quite a hindrance.
I'd like to actually try one of those electronic viewfinders in my specific domain. Which is low-light photography. Or more specifically, astrophotography. I find it quite hard to properly identify fainter stars in a DSLR's viewfinder, and am rather sceptical whether an electronic one from a mirrorless camera will be sensitive enough.
Any insights / practical knowledge on this?
Note: if I switch from my Canon EF setup, it will logically go to the Canon RF stuff, as the EF/RF adapter allows for continued use of the EF lenses.
Even a stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day.
And 2K was the last MS Windows (from the NT line anyway) without online activation! That held me back from XP for a very long while.
Especially as I only used Windows for very specific stuff that wouldn't run on/with Linux (looking at a Windows-only film/dia scanner).
Do you remember the Denon audiophile ethernet cable? Now, that was a scam if I've ever seen one, especially coming from an otherwise respectable company. Denon was, quite rightly, slammed by the press for that one.
Are you sure it's not the beer that you're drinking with that pizza that's doing the healing?
Depending on the beer, that might also explain those occasional headaches.
Frankly - the issue is with education.
If people's minds were educated to defend against more or less obvious falseness, Facebook / Fox News / Breitbart / RT / Your favourite disinformation source wouldn't have the impact they actually do have.
From what I read, the US education system looks quite as broken as its Health or Social (In)Security, and needs serious overhauling.
Good luck with that.
Not surprising, being that the Battista is sharing the same platform. That should have figured in the submission. Rimac is also basically taking over Bugatti.
I had to look around to find the number - they target a 20T magnetic field. That's indeed huge for a non-destructive magnet. Your typical IRM will be around 2T.
I've encountered quite some keyboards along the way, but I'd have to vote for the Atari ST (I had the 1040 STF) as having had the worst keyboard. Its feel was sort of rubbery, undefined. And those slanted keys at the top, easy to hit a neighbor along the intended one.
Some modern keyboards don't feature proper F-keys or Escape, a definite no-go for me.
My favorite keyboard remains the original IBM, of course. Sun or DEC keyboards were quite nice, too, as was their hardware generally.
Well, I've also gotten a flu shot every year since the bird flu, no ill effects whatsoever.
BUT. The first AZ vaccine shot did provide me with most of the range of side effects, which I felt for sth like 3 days. The second shot was no more than a sore arm and a headache for the day after.
Considering this reaction to the vaccine, I suspect I'd have had a strong reaction to a real infection, so... good thing I'm now fully vaccinated in case I encounter the real thing - Delta is making rounds...
I'd suggest getting a Skoda rather than a Passat. Same car, same build quality, lower price.
As a general rule, I'd sign this. Octavia rather than Golf, Superb rather than Passat, etc.
There's a couple reasons I didn't go that route: a) the Superb wasn't available as station wagon back when we were buying the Passat. b) Skoda doesn't have the Sharan (Seat would have the Alhambra). c) I now know the VW garage for its good service, so I'll rather stay with them than switch to a yet unknown Seat dealer.
I only wish there were more choice left in the "family van" range, pretty much everybody's moved over to SUVs, which I abhor.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
