I believe it was intentional.

And yet, satisfying.

In the context of the time period, it was a replacement for a standing army.

As we have one, then obviously that amendment no longer has any meaning then? So we should just remove it. Cool.

Every phone I use a case. And every case I use, any camera is at least slightly recessed to protect the lens.

I've never given the slightest crap about bumps because its going in a case, and the only people I know who don't use a case are the same people walking around with broken screens and lenses.

So I've never understood any review about how a phone looks without a case. That said, I also like 3.5mm jacks, SD cards for expansion, and replaceable batteries. I don't care about shaving 1mm off the thickness, 1/8th of an ounce of weight, or any of that nonsense.

I hate what Steve Jobs has done to technology (and the world, considering what a piece of total garbage he was as a person and how many people idolize that d-bag).

Anyway. /rant.

Just to mention because I rewatched it again recently, Rollins was great in He Never Died. She Never Died was decent, but I think He Never Died was better.

I should just make a Rollins movie/show playlist and throw that on random.

For office attire or going out, sure.

If you're doing repair work, running lines, etc, a watch is the choice. Your hands are busy, so a watch is what you need (Except for specific trades where you don't want to risk it getting caught in machinery).

I can say with 100% certainty that I know large swaths of folks in their 20's and 30's who regularly wear watches. Some smart, some digital, some analog.

He very clearly says "Earth" in that scene, btw.

Different profiles on Firefox are nowhere near Chrome.

I'm still going to use FF, but there are areas it lags behind Chrome. That's the only big one for me.

Btw, the short answer on this is don't expect zoom to be more than it is - conferencing/webinar software. For production quality, do it outside zoom so you're feeding it what you want, and not relying on their interpretation of what good video production looks like.

Because let's be honest here, they suck at that. As does Microsoft. None of them understand the needs, so it's best to assume they never will.

No problem!

Ideally, on-site local crew and a portable kit, preferably two sets in case of issues. Usually a small prod switcher, lenovo tiny (or hp/dell, we just use Lenovo mostly), and a small audio mixer, with wired mics rather than wireless, like an SM7B or an ev re-20. It's basically a mini version of the same kit used for the main session. Backup machine though is a laptop rather than another PC if it's only one kit.

If there is no one going on site to the remote participant, there's a session before hand to set it up (a week if possible), a session to test with them and get them comfortable (a few days before), and a session a few hours before the main event start to make sure they are all set.
