It's too bad that the first things to be automated are the tasks that people don't mind doing, leaving the real shitty tasks to be done by people. Riding around on a lawnmower has to be one of the most enjoyable forms of manual labour. Now the robots get the good jobs and we're left with the backbreaking monotonous bullshit.
Speaking of Contra - there is a new Contra out March 12, 2024 (today! or tomorrow depending on timezone), Contra: Operation Galuga. I haven't played the game yet, but the trailer looks amazing!
Thank you for this learning experience, before now I was not aware of weather. Continue your valuable contributions.
Nobody dare making a comment on the internet without taking Winnipeg into account!!
Clever photo, great idea. The "flame" effect is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Although to many of us who aren't engineers, some of the rules may not be obvious and it may look like an honest oversight - if you know any engineers, they have these rules absolutely drilled into them by the time they've earned a degree.
For someone with no engineering background to make a mistake like this is easy to explain. When someone with an engineering degree does it - they absolutely did know what they were doing is against professional regulations.
David Hilderman is a liar.
I like this, the tilted camera adds a "fun" aspect, the low perspective captures the bird well, pretty colours in the background, the softness of the background is great as well, nice separation of foreground and background without destroying the background. Also, the bird is not smoking, so it is nice to see it following the rules. Good balance of chaos and rules. Thanks for sharing.
The animation with the C:\ prompt is great! I hadn't seen this before, but that's one of the all-time greatest game openings!
Very nice composition, the lines of the guard rail and of the highway trailing into the distance, the balance of the sky and the ground, mysterious beauty of the fog, the glowing sun, I really like it all. The bare trees in the near-distant fog are wonderful too.
Thank you for sharing.
The window sill has plenty of space and is a cozy spot, directly above the baseboard heater in the space behind the couch. This is one of her favourite spots.

Sea lions visit Cowichan Bay in the fall to feast on salmon on their way to migrate upstream. It is early in the season, many more sea lions will arrive this month. Read more here.

One of the photographers mentioned is Simon d'Entremont from Nova Scotia.
Simon d'Entremont has an excellent YouTube channel where he shares photography tips and techniques. As I've started learning about photography, Simon's videos are the resource I have gained most from. I can't recommend them enough to anyone learning or growing photography skills.
