Winners of the 2024 International Landscape Photographer of the Year -- (link) - oblique Nov 25, 10:45 20
- #5 is pretty close to where I'm going in February -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:52
- #12, I don't see anything particularly special about that photo at all. Am I missing something? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:50 3
  - It's subtle, the ones we would take are in full color ...this you can feel the intense cold seeping into your multilayer artic survival suit. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 25, 11:44
  - I don't get it either -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 11:08
  - I was going to say the same thing. They're all amazing, except that one, which kind of looks like something I would take. -- nm - pmb Nov 25, 11:02
- Someone needs to explain #9 to me -- nm - ty97 Nov 25, 10:46 14
  - Long time lapse exposure. -- nm - Reagen Nov 25, 10:47 13
    - Here's the photographer's Insta -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:53 3
      - heh, was just going to link this. He's impressive -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:53 2
        
        Yeah, I love the astral photography, particularly the fixed rotational ones. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:58 1
        
        I bought a polar alignment mount for my camera this year. I'm really hoping to use it for some milky way photos sometime at my parents house but - oblique Nov 25, 11:02
    - so it's fake. -- nm - ty97 Nov 25, 10:51 8
      - There are a number of photography techniques that involve combining images - Beryllium Nov 25, 11:07
      - Fake how? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:55
      - No, not by any means. - Reagen Nov 25, 10:53 5
        
        But it's a photo of real thing, you know? -- nm - ty97 Nov 25, 10:54 4
        
        There are no photos that are exactly equal to what you see with your eyes. - Reagen Nov 25, 10:56 3
        
        Photo 1 also uses long exposure, that's why you can see the path of different fireflies. -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 11:00
        
        Within the rules of this contest though apparently - oblique Nov 25, 10:58 1

- Can you or someone explain what this means? -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:28 4
  - With all due respect to everyone in the thread, it means absolutely nothing. It’s Wall Street crystal ball nonsense. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:53 1
    - And this. -- nm - znufrii Nov 25, 11:12
  - Investment banks are predicting the S&P 500 index will be up anywhere from 0-17% over the next 12 months. *shrug emoji* -- nm* - znufrii Nov 25, 10:30 1
    - Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:47
- It's currently at about 6,000. Some are predicting 10-12% growth. That's not bad, no? -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 25, 10:27 5
  - Every single one of them is predicting growth. This feels like a Kramer-esque "Bear Sterns is fine!" -- nm - ty97 Nov 25, 10:28 4
    - stonks go up -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:36 1
      - over the long term, yes. -- nm - ty97 Nov 25, 10:44

- (Currently at ~5,985) -- nm - Curmudgeon znu Nov 25, 10:27
For Crash and other Sonics fans Nike has a sneaker just for you... -- (pic) - Krusty Nov 25, 10:25 [Attachment]

- This requires a shoutout for Crystal Gravy to tie things together. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 25, 10:23 [youtube]
Had an early doctor appointment - didn't drink coffee before and then decided to go without. Now regretting but it's too late for me to drink caffeine - Dano Nov 25, 09:50 13
- I can usually drink caffeine up until 5 or 6pm. After that I run that risk. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:02
- I must be weird. I drink Diet Dr. Pepper right up until I fall asleep most nights - oblique Nov 25, 09:59 3
  - Same. I have no idea why it doesn't really affect me. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 25, 10:03 2

- No. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:03
Krusty, the Jets are hiring Tannenbaum to help hire a GM and Coach. This is good news - Will Hunting Nov 25, 09:07 8
- O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, your failures will be inflicted on us -- nm - JD Nov 25, 10:33
- Unbelievable. This team will continue to fail with this ownership. Tannenbaum shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football team. -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:12
- Ryan was an excellent hire. He got them to two AFC championships. -- nm - David Nov 25, 09:31 3
  - And was gone in 5-6 years so is that really good? - Will Hunting Nov 25, 10:25
  - He got one hire right. Not exactly a good track record. -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:13 1
    - Touché. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:55
- cant even manage their own organizations, so hire an outside party to do it -- nm - budice Nov 25, 09:09 1
  - Well with an owner who's head is so far up the Despots ass he cant even see daylight, it is not that surprising. -- nm - Jovian Nov 25, 09:20

        It’s fun -- nm - Pippy Nov 25, 09:26
      - word to the guest star you mention! I was pleasantly surprised he took that role -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Nov 25, 08:08
- Wolfs - B-. I like Clooney and Pitt together, but the story was incoherent. - pmb Nov 25, 07:59 1
  - from what I gather, Apple greenlit it; but the director walked after they boned him on the theatrical release -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 25, 08:00
- Armor C+, Man on the Inside A so far. -- nm - sycor Nov 25, 07:54
- Wicked. A+ -- nm - Volnelk Nov 25, 07:42 2
  - wife and oldest going Tuesday, they are stoked -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 25, 07:43 1

- Christmas shopping: B+ -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 25, 07:39
- Finished A Man On the Inside - one of my favorite shows, possibly ever. Absolutely loved it. Also, S2 of Lidia Poet - B. it's a lot of fun. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 25, 07:30 4
  - it's the cozy show I needed right now. :) -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 25, 07:34 3
    - It gave my little black heart all the feels. IMO, Danson has never been better and it just hit spot on for me every scene. nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 25, 07:52
    - Sally Struthers has been so great -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 25, 07:44 1

  - This! -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 07:55
- Bears: F (this is becoming a habit). Started watching Nobody Wants This (it is great) -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 07:14 9
  - Kind of half watched it on a phone (F) - zunk takes things literally Nov 25, 07:59
  - I can't give it an F. They showed fight to get to OT and Caleb Williams is really starting to look like he's as special as advertised. - pmb Nov 25, 07:30 7
    - That OT sequence was so bad. He has to throw those away -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 07:39 2
      - He seems to have some challenges with situational awareness. Hopefully that gets better. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 25, 07:40 1
        
        He was good about it all game until that sequence. I don't know what he was thinking. -- nm - pmb Nov 25, 07:59
    - 5 of their losses have been under 1 score. they could easily have an extra 3-4 wins which a well coached team might find next year... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 25, 07:34 3
      - A funny take is that Eberflus is the best coach for the Bears. Good enough to build Williams but he will lose the games and get a good pick -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 07:39 2
        
        Funny is right. Funny/stupid. He's terrible and has to go. Let them tank (again) and get a whole new staff for next season. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 25, 08:02 1
        
        He is the literal worst and I can't believe he didn't get fired last year. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 25, 08:25
- A Man on the Inside, A-. Lifetime's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder", rating, ridiculous fluff. -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 07:11

    - I think Season 2 of The Diplomat was better than Season 1. -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 08:55 2
      - I'd agree with that. Really dig this show. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 25, 09:02
      - I need to bump this up the list then. Between this, Silo, Bad Sisters, and new Good Place actor shows, I have a lot to watch -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 09:00
