That’s a slippery slope though. Next you’ll start hearing about “empathy”. Where does it stop??

If Canada became fully independent from the Crown we’d have to draw up a completely new constitution as the current one is tightly tied to the Crown. Personally, I don’t trust anyone these days to create a new constitution, as an unfortunate chunk of the country seems to want to eliminate current rights as it is. For as much as some Canadians want or demand to remove the Crown from Canada, it’s really not feasible, and could potentially (probably) completely destroy the country.
There’s no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.
Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn’t have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.
First, I made ‘Album Artists’ my landing page. 'Artists" includes everyone tagged in the metadata, ‘Album Artists’ only contains the primary artists. For me, the difference is 350 album artists vs 1412 artists.
I run everything through Picard when I add something to the server. Sometimes I have to change the metadata (for example I hate having an entry for ‘&’ like Elton John & Hans Zimmer and I’ll change it so the album is included in both Elton John and Hans Zimmer but theres no entry for them together). But generally it’s pretty simple and smooth.
Looks like this:
The rights and freedoms of Americans has always been a gentleman’s agreement, and they’ve run out of gentlemen.
Makes sense thank you. I see what you guys are saying, and the more I compare the more I feel like I over-corrected trying to improve. I’m studying getting off auto and I think I should try and find a middle ground between the two. Thanks again!
Wow thank you for the advice! It all really makes sense and the more I compare the more it looks like I over-corrected I think. Going off auto is what I’m looking into next and I’ll read through your comment a few more times to get started. I really appreciate it!
Right. Every time Poilievre or Smith screamed “Trudeau bad!” It was clearly meant towards Trudeau alone and didn’t refer to the Liberal Party as a whole. This headline is only misleading to pedants, the rest of us understand fully and I think you do too.
I’m not really sure what I was going for with lighting haha. This was my first time putting a shot together so I kind of just winged it. I want to see what I can come up with having full control over the environment. The lighting I used were some cheap usb lights and I think I need to soften the light on them more somehow.
I’ll look into ISO next, I’m still using the auto function while I figure some things out. As for the strip of sewing I noticed after that I could have used it to “direct” the eye to a specific feature but honestly the backdrop was just a placeholder. I saw a blog about home studios on the cheap and am gonna get a black sheet, but stores were closed yesterday and I didn’t want to wait haha.
Thank you!
Wow, thanks for taking the time to write this up! This was continuous lighting, I’m hoping to get a better feel for creating my light source. There are a few out of focus points that I want to look at sharpening up, as it is I’m still using the auto feature so manual is next on the list for experimenting.
Completely agree on the backdrop haha. I saw some cheap home studio techniques online and wanted to try it out myself. I’m planning to pick up a black sheet but the stores were closed yeterday for the holiday and I didn’t want to wait so I grabbed the darkest material I had.
As for the dust/fuzz, I certainly noticed how much was being picked up but wanted to see if I could use it to get a bit of an older/weathered look. If I try this piece again I’ll remove it, I don’t think it did what I was hoping.
Thank you, it certainly has issues I’m sure but it was a blast to set up. Think I might have a new addiction.
Thanks so much! Honestly I loved every second of it
Charlize Theron and Gary Oldman could very well be playing most roles for all we know
Kagi has a lens that only searches the Fediverse.
Absolutely. I never imagined I’d pay for search but Kagi is leaps and bounds better than other search engines. I decided to pay when I realized how much I search every day after getting the free trial. Went through 100 searches in four days. If I search that much, paying for an engine that has no ads, uses useful lenses, and lets me block results from sites like Facebook was a no-brainer.
This is what I don’t get from a business standpoint. Why would anyone buy an AI read audiobook for $20 when they can get the exact same audio by buying the ebook for $0.99 and running it through AI?
I want to live in the timeline where he loses the by-election and has to pay back the months he stayed living there.
Hopefully “Sinners” helps to change that
I would watch the hell out of that haha. American Dad has a joke about the audio book of Plato’s Republic read by Gilbert Gottfried.
