  1. Cool setup strick. Was that for a particular promotion?

    It was a limited time theme I did.


    Strick, you are by far one of the most talented photographers I've had the pleasure to know. Have you had any of your work published yet? If not, you've got to be on the verge of it. Your stuff is always incredible.

    thanky! Just in smaller publications. Nothing notable .
  2. I'm guessing the supports on the outside of the walls is due to aesthetics. I'd imagine that if I were a pansy architect married to a liberal politician, I'd put the ugly side of the wall on the outside too.
  3. DUDE! You are my hero. That is some amazing work. I just bought my very first camera (Sony A6000) and downloaded Photoshop + Lightroom. I have very little idea how to use any of them, but I aspire to be like you.

    Wow, thanks!
  4. I am absolutely terrified of spiders but those get free passes (unless they get too close to me)! I actually had a fairly big one in the house a couple of years ago and decided to let him live. I only saw him run across the curtains a time or two and haven't seen him since.

  5. You've not really lived until you've had to live off of packs of noodles.

     

    I've since moved up to the $1.50 cups of gourmet noodles (Japanese flavored!). They are not only incredibly tasty, but the plastic containers are much safer than the cheap styrofoam cups when under the influence. :)

  6. Now, I don't even use FaceBook because but I don't necessarily go along with the hype here. That is not to say that they aren't doing a lot of things against privacy, but:

     

    Change the state of network connectivity (I could not really think of a reason for this unless it has something to do with identifying when the phone is on cellular vs WiFi [for features such as only send photos on WiFi])

     

    Call phone numbers and send SMS messages (I don't even know 100% what the app is for but this probably is there so you can click the "Invite Friends to FaceBook Messenger" button and then it sends them a text message doing so)

     

    Record audio, and take pictures and videos, at any time (This is there so within the Messenger app you can click the photo button to take a photo within the app and send it along)

     

    Read your phone’s call log, including info about incoming and outgoing calls (Not 100%. Could be used to see who you call most in order to give you a "favorites/most contacted" list so you can quick contact those people without adding them all to the list manually.

     

    Read your contact data, including who you call and email and how often (This is probably so that you can click a button titled "Find My Contacts on FaceBook". It would dig through your contact data and try to match that data with people on Facebook. Then it shows you a list of who you want to add as a friend.

     

    Read personal profile information stored on your device (This probably isn't as scary as it sounds. This is probably the permission used to read/write data within it's own FaceBook directory.

     

    Get a list of accounts known by the phone, or other apps you use (Sort of lost on this one.)

     

    But yes, overall most of those permissions are widely and uniformly used against all apps on both (iOS and Android) mobile operating systems.

     

     

     

     

    Now, unless I am completely misinformed, the funny thing is that at least on iOS, a lot of the things that writer is trying to stirrup are not even possible because each app is sort of its own "sandbox". Generally speaking, an app on iOS cannot, for example, go out and copy user data from other apps and then send it to home base.

     

    Once again, I don't even use FaceBook for several completely different reasons. But I don't see this as "Facebook Crosses The Line" but rather "More of the Same". If you were to start digging into permissions for practically any app you would use, I bet an alarmist writer could write an article equally "frightening" or worse for most of them.

     

    I'd say this.

    Sounds like more of the same to me.

     

     

     

    Call phone numbers and send SMS messages

    I have received text messages and invites from apps on my friends' phones. Can't say I've ever received any unwanted text spam from the messenger app.

  7. No such thing as overkill on a spider. Dead is good. Really good and dead 'till it's gone is even better.

     

    You know that red mist snipers describe seeing when they take out a derka standing behind a wall?

     

    Kill it that much. :)

  8.  Maybe monkeys have been doing it wrong for a million years and it took us humans to do it right. :)

     

    Bananas, as we know them, have only been around for a few thousand years.    :)

     

    I thought real men use their pocket knife? Cut the stem off the banana and slice the apple in half.

     

    Real men split apples open with their thumbs. :tough:

  9. Those reviews HAVE to be fake, or this "NRA instructor" needs to be kicked off the home team. 

     

    Googing that name with "NRA" only returns this one review and nothing else.

     

    Is there a way to actually look up NRA instructors by name?

  10. That was great.

     

    Loved how many of the women didn't seem to care, but the guys were like "Let's get out of here!"

    It's always the men that get their butts kicked in situations like this.

     

    And the confrontation that leads to the butt kicking is always started by something the women say.
