Wait hear me out. I haven't tried jackets or outwear they sell, but they always stock up of decent quality underwear, t-shirts and jeans. Their Levi's last me about 4 years.
I remember working for a company about a decade ago where we spent so much time engineering duplicate everything hardware or hot spares everywhere.
Guess what, when switch failed it didn't properly failed over. When router it started sending spurious packets everywhere and had to be taken down manually.
All the effort that went into duplicating hardware and making hot spares could have been save by just... having cold spares, and in the end the amount of downtime would have been the same, or less -- because when one thing fails it's really easy obvious where things stopped working.
I don't understand this all-or-nothing mentality your prescribing to 'the mob'.
No police brutality, racial profiling and horrendous record on institutionalized racism is not the same as 'No police'. Everyone is for community policing.
As for CPB. Fuck them. Abolish ICE. That branch, that puts children in cages, it doesn't provide any value -- nothing can justify there existence.
The big advancement for micro 4/3 in the last two years has been image stabilization using lens and sensor working in tandem.
A more recent sensor advancement is dual native ISO in GH5s, which make the system's long downside -- low light performance, a much better proposition. I'm hoping this technology will find its way to cheaper offerings.
There are a few fast new lenses that have come out. I particularly like 25mm f/1.7 that's under $200, there are also a few ones on the higher end.
Another selling point for micro 4/3 that they can use virtually any vintage lens with a simple adapter.
Panasonic has really good image stabilization for MFT systems where lens stabilization and sensor stabilization system work in tandem allowing to take shots with up to 1 second exposure handheld.
Basically it's like having gimble inside the camera.
Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 (50mm f/3.5 equivalent full frame) is under $200 and is an excellent portrait lens.
With initial release of GH5 autofocus was pretty bad, but with the last firmware upgrade apparently it's quite good now.
I however cant yet justify upgrade from GH4, which doesn't have sensor stabilization.
I think this argument is more true for personal vehicles that sit idle for 99% of the time -- they don't consume gas when they don't move.
For commercial vehicle that spend most of their life on the road, energy savings from running a more efficient vehicle recoup the energy used in making that vehicle pretty quickly.
Making any kind of public statement doesn't matter if an organization takes money from a monster.
What kind of science is produced by this money? In the past few weeks we've seen the consequence of that -- many women were pushed out of the field, because the behavior that was enabled by accepting the money.
Maybe more appropriate topic of discussion should be how climate change affects the people of France and what can be done about it, instead of chastising them for not having Dallas housing codes.
Hasan Minhaj did a pretty informative episode on the lawsuit against Harvard affirmative action -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm5QVcTI2I8
