Try becoming disabled. It certainly answered that question for me.

f1.4 is supposed to be the lowest f number

Where on earth do you get that idea? Lower is more expensive, so unless youre a pro, you dont see them as often.

Dr. Frances, a psychiatrist, led the task force that created the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

You know, what happened was, in 1994, we added a condition that was called Asperger's disorder that was a very mild form of some of the same symptoms that occur in classic autism. Classic autism is absolutely unmistakable. The onset is before the age of 3. Severity and disabilities are tragic and lifelong, and you cannot mistake classic autism for anything else.

Asperger's is a very mild version of classic autism and therefore much more common and much more easily mistaken for other mental disorders or for normal eccentricity and social withdrawal. So the 60-fold increase was largely started by the change in definition in DSM-IV, and then it was promoted by several factors. First and foremost, originally, it was the fact that educational services were geared to getting the diagnosis. And anytime there's a benefit related to a psychiatric diagnosis, it - rates jump enormously.

Secondly, the internet spread the idea of autism like wildfire. And many people incorrectly self-diagnosed themselves with autism. In some places, it became almost a badge of brilliance. And so the differences in the definition and differences in the application of the definition and the fact that educational benefits have been associated with it - that's what caused the 60-fold increase - not vaccines. We know from very conclusive studies that vaccines do not cause autism.

Air Force generative AI chatbot

NIPRGPT, developed as an experimental project of by the Air Force Research Laboratory, aims to give military personnel a generative AI Large Language Model (LLM) comparable to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but free of the security, data protection and privacy concerns posed by consumer AI products.

I am not against AI in principal but this shit is absurd.

eh. Obvious troll is obvious.

1. Buy the Stihl gas-powered leaf blower. Dont be a dummy and skimp on the CFM, buy the nice $700 one. Note the size of the opening whence flows the air.

2. Visit your local grocer or produce stand and acquire some appropriately sized oranges, with a diameter to not quite overmatch the measurement from Step 1.

3. Cram the orange in said opening and aim at the nearest wayward teen.

4. Depress the trigger in an aggresssive manner. This is key. You do NOT want to half-ass it. Jam that fucker all the way down.

5. Shoot some trees now so you can enjoy making marmelade-flavored havoc in peace; the teens having fled in panic.

Or might as well say "Yes, I like money and want to sell to the DoD." Source: may have used it in a slide deck once. Not actually sure, as the phrase wasnt as popular back then.

It is either AI or photoshopped, or both. Just look at those lovecraftian hands.

I think you are confusing the wedding for the reception. Both are, to some extent, also about the gathering of friends and family, but IMO for the wedding, the guests are there to witness. The reception tilts more towards the guests who are their to celebrate with the couple.

The wedding is about the couple, not about you.
