  1. Get a clue before you start, especially when I have already said that I'm not an apologist for him and you're basing it on one post...by your own admission.
  2. Exactly. It seems likely that in the right situation, he would thrive. He has that much talent. And if someone is planning around that talent, then yeah, that's most likely going to work really well. He would get the proper coaching and plans to go through his reads, as Fields can be a little slow in his progressions in some schemes. Yes, I know he went through his reads very quickly and made great anticipatory throws, but as a whole, I feel like he's often been slow and not always had the greatest pocket awareness on top of that.
  3. Review: Lume Cube RGB Panel Pro 2.0 light Lume Cube released the updated RGB Panel Pro 2.0. About the size of a smartphone, it produces high-quality RGB and white light. https://photofocus.com/reviews/review-lume-cube-rgb-panel-pro-2-0-light/
  4. Well, you're wrong. If I say that I'm not doing it, then I'm not doing it and you'll just have to respect that. I've already acknowledged all that numerous times. He holds the ball too long. He makes poor decisions. He tries too much. Not sure how many more times I have to say it. But I also acknowledge that he is an explosive player who does a lot of amazing things, such as breaking franchise records for passes, connecting with a receiver for three touchdowns, and so forth when put in a better spot. His upside is sky-high. Put him on a different team and he might be - notice I am saying MIGHT - be a really solid QB. I don't know if he can be elite despite all his gifts, but he could be a really good, explosive QB. Maybe. But we don't know because if there's any one thing the Bears excel at, it's not developing QBs. They have a giant history of doing that. Since we're talking about Caleb Williams, if just about any team gets the #1 pick, they are probably going to need to pick this guy. He seems too good not to do it.
  5. Well, sure, it's wildly different. One has an image that was created by light. One.....you type in and a computer attempts to cobble together a picture for you. One is a photo. One is AI-generated art. They should NEVER be confused with each other.
  6. The defender even grazed the ball, but it was not to be. Sometimes you gamble and win, and sometimes it doesn't go your way.
  7. They mentioned Butkus before the game began. They mentioned him during the post-game as well.
  8. I cannot possibly exaggerate how much Dick Butkus means to those of us who grew up in Chicago as Bears fans. Easily one of the best, toughest linebackers to ever play the game. R.I.P. and thank you.
  9. Fields doesn't look great, but look at the buffoons coaching him. Name ONE player who is playing better with the Bears than their were for their previous team. There's a good chance that Fields is being ruined by those coaches. If they trade him to the Falcons (not going to happen, but let's play "what if"), the Falcons are probably going to be first in their division. It's possible that Fields may not be a great NFL QB, but how would you know? The entire team plays so badly that even D.J. Moore doesn't look good. The only people who look good are Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson, and Cairo Santos. And you can pretty much guess why. They take the least amount of scheming. The Bears are so bad that even Sam Mustipher, who was a grease fire with the Bears, looks good now. Also - and now I'm going to start sounding like a Fields apologist when I'm not - go back and look at the replays of Fields' turnovers. Now, I'm not absolving him of blame completely, but the first turnover, Getsy had been scheming roll-outs where the tight end blocks every time. Except for THAT time. He schemed with no tight end, letting a Nik Bonitto run in completely unblocked. Fields turns around and the guy's already on him. The second turnover, you can obviously see there's miscommunication. Kmet thinks he's supposed to run one thing, Fields the other. That wasn't a bad throw. It was poor communication, so 50/50 probably. And that's the frustrating thing. Fields may not be a good QB. Or he might be a really good one. And up to this point, it's difficult to figure out what exactly is the reason for his poor play. But the point being that you cannot possibly pin that on him solely when the whole team looks LOUSY. NO ONE is playing well except for the three I mentioned.
  10. Chocolate chip and cookie dough (in ice cream). Crap. That's three things. Look, I tried.
  11. I rarely even put ketchup on fries or hamburgers. Not my favorite condiment.
  12. I know not of what you speak, but you have my attention, Brother Dave.
  13. Transformers affect the sound in a huge way, doing so with mic preamps as well, among other things.
  14. I've changed my mind on this. No, you should not mix your own music. You should hire me to do it.
  15. Right, and I do mention that in the article. AI has nothing to do with light. Drawings, etchings, paintings, photographs, and AI-generated art are separate things, the latter requiring the least amount of physical artistry aside from typing. And they all should be regarded as different. I have some good words for someone who creates AI-generated art in the article, at any rate!
  16. Stop describing AI-generated art as photos! You type word prompts into a field. A computer spits out an AI-generated image. Sorry, that’s not a photo, and you’re not a photographer. https://photofocus.com/photography/stop-describing-ai-generated-art-as-photos/
  17. Here in Los Angeles, I'm going to throw out a few things that people might not know. But before that, most people say, "Oh yeah, Mexican food." And there's a ton of Mexican restaurants here. But - unpopular opinion - I don't think it's generally great. Sure, you can find some great Mexican food here and there, but you compare it to San Diego, and it's not nearly as good. And if you compare it to Mexico, it compares even less favorably. Los Angeles' strength is the diversity of generally great food. But unless you live here, you may not know that this is a GREAT place for Armenian, Israeli, Japanese, Chinese, and Persian cuisine. We have large groups of people from those respective countries. We have three Chinatowns, for instance, that have regional specialties. Want Chinese Uighur food? Got it. Want braised beef from Taiwan? Not a problem. Tons of great Armenian and Persian food because we have enormous populations from those areas. There is Little Tokyo and the place along Sawtelle in West LA that have amazing Japanese food that are specific, not just the garden-variety poke and sushi places. And LA was an early adopter of sushi anyway, as it has been popular here since the late '70s/early '80s, back when if you told people from just about any other part of the country that you loved sushi and it was raw fish, they would have reacted in terror. There is also three Sri Lankan restaurants near my house. And we have Little Bangladesh and Little India. Also, Northridge has a substantial Indian population as well, so there's a fair amount of Indian and Pakistani restaurants there also.
  18. If you don't spend much time on it at home, then no. If you are on it a lot, then I think it's very much worth it. And again, just being able to scoot the table up to be able to get at stuff in the studio is almost worth the price alone.
  19. Why not? A lot of people watch YouTube with their phone and earbuds anyway. It's a great way to introduce someone to binaural, and I would think sound nerds everywhere would be interested.
  20. I don't need to use both a finger and a thumb on the Logitech or the Zero Tension Mouse. It's just like a "regular" mouse, only it's vertical. The buttons are exactly the same.
  21. A vertical mouse doesn't just save your wrist. Your forearm and possibly your elbow will thank you as well. Don't believe me? Do this. First, hold your hand/arm out as if you are using a mouse. Now, turn your hand/arm as if you are about to shake someone's hand. Feel all the tension go out of your hand and arm? If so, I don't need to explain any further.
