I've had just the opposite experience. Every IBM and Lenovo laptop I've used has died or had to be replaced within a year (2 IBM and 2 Lenovo). I've had decent experience with Windows towers, but not laptops. Now my Apple e

I hear what your saying, and I've done some of that thru the years. But it goes beyond just lowering expectations, I'm already pretty chill about whatever life brings my way. It has more to do with bouts of depression that have

So you could cure schizophrenia without drugs or doctors just by seeing it as you're own failure?

Oh please, stop with the bullshit. Not everyone has the same exact physiology and the same past personal experiences. Both of these will affect how each and everyone us reacts to daily life. Just because you're lazy and bored doesn&

I have a similar history to yours (except GenX not millenial). I've built a decent career for myself, but have always struggled with SAD and bipolar symptoms. When I feel good I'm sure it's something I can control, but as s

It's possible, but highly unlikely imho. I haven't found AirBNB prices in NY to be all that appealing (I live in NYC). They are at a discount, but not a great enough discount for me to go AirBNB over the comfort and convenience

Thank you for that description, now I understand it at least on a basic conceptual level.

I believe, imho, that the issue has exploded because AirBNB is a Silicon Valley backed company, and the worry is with explosive growth and scale. It's not a big problem when a miniscule amount of the apartment stock is tied up as short

One might say the conservatives are doing the same (in the name of capitalism).

Also possible that the agency is 1124design.com, which has worked on many of Spike's previous films.

It's very possible the agency is Spike DDB, which was founded by Spike Lee. If so, the buck stops with Spike.

If true, this is horrible. I give 4 stars for an average trip that gets me there on time, with little to no grief. I only give 5 stars if the driver was exceptionally nice, funny, helpful or there was something outstanding with the trip.

Why would I let my ignorance keep me from forming an inaccurate opinion, that would be un-American (hell, it was hard enough just to put that acknowledgement in there admitting my ignorance...I felt dirty).

That's what has always annoyed me by the term financial aid. For the student or parent, they hear it and think "free money". Whereas once you start talking to the schools it ends up meaning a bit of free money and tons of l

Just remember that financial aid includes loans. So while a university may boast that the average student receives enough financial aid to cover the full cost of their education, that could still mean they are tens of thousands, if not hun

I wonder what happens if the IRS categorizes your filmmaking as a hobby as they can with documentary filmmakers? Does that cancel out the FAA's categorizing a filmmaker as a commercial interest (or vice versa)? More a rhetorical quest

There's quite a few small companies and individuals out there making money flying drones for productions. I worked on a large production for an American car co. that used drones for product flyovers late last year (this was on a multi

I don't believe those applications are half-baked as much as your needs are more advanced than the target of those applications. Those applications work extremely well for the typical mac user. Firefox would just confuse my sister, a

Never thought about the hfr with a movie like End of Watch, not sure I agree though. I like the staccato motion of films like that and hfr may be too real, honestly I'd have to see it before I could answer. Although an action flick li

Basically one shot looks to be a different color than the shots surrounding it (tending toward blue as opposed to orange or vice versa). Since they are supposed to be in the same place at the same time, they all should have the same color h

Once you start delving into the science it gets really interesting; resolution is the least important part of the image. A high contrast ratio will improve the picture more than going from 720 to 1080 or 1080 to 4k.

The advantage of shooting on film with a lower budget is that it forces the director and dp to plan everything out as much as possible. There isn't room in the budget for very many takes and none for reshoots. You can't just sho
