@TrpstrLeonOG Funny how you reject the solution the previous generations used to solve similar problems.

BOOMER UNCLE: "Nobody wants to work anymore." ME: "The warehouse near me starts at $16 an hour." BOOMER UNCLE: "Sounds fair." ME: "Average rent here is $1,900." BOOMER UNCLE: "People need roommates." Funny how every solution involves workers sacrificing more. Never employers paying more.

@FrankLopezGhost @calisurfsup @Achillies44 That condition will not show under routine examination unfortunately. That’s why it’s called a “widow maker”.

@calisurfsup @Achillies44 This tells me he wasn’t getting regular physicals & bloodwork done & likely ignored some warning signs.

My dad was 6'3", 185 lbs, worked out every day, seldom drank, never smoked, and did his own lawn maintenance. He dropped dead at 62. Go out and enjoy life. Tomorrow is never promised.

@JoshWalkos Damn…what’s the protocol for when they lose pressure?

A diving bell ship allows workers to walk on river floors w/o getting wet. It works by lowering an open-bottom diving bell to the seabed and pumping compressed air inside. The increased air pressure forces water out of the chamber, creating a dry workspace beneath the surface.

@KatAUversion If you’d like an object 2nd opinion before sending, I’m happy to help 🤣

I should send him the version of this that’s not timeline friendly

@aaronp613 The original announcement was good enough for me 😎

Apple unveiled the Vision Pro 3 years ago today. What would it take for you to buy one?

@FTFonFS1 @GregJennings From 2012-2015, Russ had 12 come-from-behind wins and 17 game winning drives. This is during the height of the LOB...a dominant D that in these instances blew 4Q leads and it took Russ to win the game. He is that guy and that's how he should be remembered. Easy HOF pick.

“When I think about Russ, I just don’t feel like he had enough post-Seattle.” @GregJennings weighs in on Russell Wilson’s HoF chances::

@chrisboettcher9 Get over yourself. You have no idea what that dad went through to afford that vacation. If relaxing with a beer watching his kids play recharges him with enough energy to keep moving, good for him. Sanctimonious prick.

I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it. You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.

@adamhlavac They totally do...one in 3D. And it is SPECTACULAR 😎

@iHeartPowder I think IMAX has a couple of their documentaries available in 1.43 via AVP

Keep seeing people post that IMAX 70mm is just 4:3 TV or that the extra top and bottom of the frame doesn't add anything. You just have a misunderstanding of IMAX photography. To accomodate other formats, Chris Nolan and Hoyte Van Hoytema use ground glass (Pic 1) etched with guides to appropriately frame every shot. This ensures Nolan can mostly center punch for every deliverable. That's also why IMAX tends to be center-framed (Pic 2). The filmmakers want you looking dead center at what's happening while the rest of the image melts away into your peripheral vision. The idea is that when you're watching IMAX 70mm on a massive 60-100' screen, all you see is the movie. No masking, no screen frame, nothing. It's meant to fully immerse the viewer. The size of the film negative and use of wide open lenses supports this in intimate moments because of the shallow depth of field. The image is tack sharp exactly where your eyes should be. For wider shots and action sequences, there will usually be an important object(s) close to center frame that helps guide your eyes to surrounding parts you need to focus on (Pic 3). This is also why Nolan's movies translate well to widescreen formats like 70mm, 35mm, and other 2.39:1 screens. He's not thinking about the height or width of the image independently, but as one giant canvas. There's negative space above peoples heads because if you pushed their heads to the top of the frame and the next shot had an important action in the lower third, you'd spend the majority of the movie pivoting your head up and down and across the massive screen (Pic 4). Exhausting. This is also why Nolan and other filmmakers crop from 1.43 to 1.78 for Blu-ray. The idea with the IMAX sequences is that they expand and use every inch of screen real estate. Pillarboxing 1.43 footage when intercut with 2.39 scenes makes the IMAX images appear smaller since they don't take up the full width of your screen. Footage should expand vertically, just like in theaters. I get that tons of people watch stuff on their phones and laptops these days, but you have to understand the original intention - the theatrical experience - and not you sitting at home watching the movie on your 15" Macbook, 6" phone screen, or TV that's probably 5 ft too far from your couch. Apologies for the long rant. 🤘🎞️

@GuyCromwell88 @jari428 @xaviersonline_ I’m still bent the new Dune titles weren’t released this way.

@iHeartPowder @jari428 @xaviersonline_ it is widely considered the aspect ratio for imax home releases aka imax cut home release, it fills up the 16:9 screen everybody has and comes close enough to original imax ratio to get the benefit of the intended composition

Found a reddit comment that cleared this up for me today.

@justinryanio @BasicAppleGuy And a native calendar app!

@BasicAppleGuy More native Apple Vision Pro apps would be nice. Apple Maps 🤞

WWDC Bingo #WWDC26

@GuyCromwell88 @jari428 @xaviersonline_ Agreed.

@micyoung75 Bro…you’ve got to give it a rest. The mere existence of a meeting WAS the olive branch. It was his chance to be contrite, to demonstrate an awareness that he behaved immaturely and was sorry. Instead he demanded answers nobody in a leadership position would ever give. Spare me

Pelley: firing raised in first 15 seconds. No resolution offered. Weiss openly hostile throughout. Then the disclosure - told repeatedly to include unverified assertions in stories. Refused every time. Then fired. Weiss called it the path he chose. He did choose. He chose not to lie.

Saw this on my way into work today. Hell yeah!

@jari428 @GuyCromwell88 @xaviersonline_ I guess there could be a reasonable debate about whether 1.78 would be considered IMAX or not.

@iHeartPowder @GuyCromwell88 @xaviersonline_ Literally only the second UHD of Batman v Superman Everything else is cropped to 1.78, not 1.43

@royermattw Watching this mouth breather get savaged in the comments brings great joy to my day 🤣

Because it took $13 million to make the reflecting pool do something it already did. Glad we could clear that up.

@MCCCANM @mtracey So is my topless mermaid back-tat good or no?🤣

@mtracey They already are required to ensure this. Have been for a long time (at least 2003), before he joined & before he got the tattoo. stripes.com/news/2003-01-2…

To be safe, all US military personnel should be required to consult the ADL's "hate symbol" database before getting any tats. Even if 99% of the population wouldn't have the foggiest idea that a certain symbol is Nazi-related. You never know what might make you an accidental Nazi

@Skylinex13 Disagree. The most important and relevant elements are framed for every viewer. Expanded formats to add immersion on the rare case it’s available. Immense care goes into filming this way.

urely doing this kinda demonstrates a reaaaaally compromised artistic vision like if you can just fuck around this much with aspect ratio, you clearly don't particularly care about shot composition

@jeremymbarr These are principled decisions. Good for them.

A 60 Minutes veteran tells me: “They stayed so as not to abandon their producers and staff, many of whom simply can’t afford to quit. It’s an act of self-sacrifice, really, and of generosity. And they’re voting for the survival of 60 Minutes.” But, they added, “I can guarantee you that they’ll hold Bilton to his promise not to allow corporate interference.”

@KarenAttiah @washingtonpost lol “wrongfully”. Many were fired for their vile comments after Kirk’s murder. We’ll see how this plays out. I predict a “womp, womp”.

I was wrongfully fired by the @washingtonpost in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And I challenged them. Finally we went to arbitration. ✊🏾
