I do not believe that which was created through collective labor should be able to be enclosed, so that the encloser can extort others for access.
The house was not built by its owner. It was erected, decorated, and furnished by innumerable workers--in the timber yard, the brick field, and the workshop, toiling for dear life at a minimum wage.
The money spent by the owner was not the product of his own toil. It was amassed, like all other riches, by paying the workers two-thirds or only a half of what was their due.
Moreover--and it is here that the enormity of the whole proceeding becomes most glaring--the house owes its actual value to the profit which the owner can make out of it. Now, this profit results from the fact that his house is built in a town possessing bridges, quays, and fine public buildings, and affording to its inhabitants a thousand comforts and conveniences unknown in villages; a town well paved, lighted with gas, in regular communication with other towns, and itself a centre of industry, commerce, science, and art; a town which the work of twenty or thirty generations has gone to render habitable, healthy, and beautiful.
A house in certain parts of Paris may be valued at thousands of pounds sterling, not because thousands of pounds' worth of labour have been expended on that particular house, but because it is in Paris; because for centuries workmen, artists, thinkers, and men of learning and letters have contributed to make Paris what it is to-day--a centre of industry, commerce, politics, art, and science; because Paris has a past; because, thanks to literature, the names of its streets are household words in foreign countries as well as at home; because it is the fruit of eighteen centuries of toil, the work of fifty generations of the whole French nation.
Who, then, can appropriate to himself the tiniest plot of ground, or the meanest building, without committing a flagrant injustice? Who, then, has the right to sell to any bidder the smallest portion of the common heritage?

honestly, choked up at the end. the frustration is just so real and its so cathartic to see someone say it how it is
This episode is fucking amazing and so cathartic.
I liked Deadlock before, but I'm more of a casual player so there was some pain playing full matches. I've always been really weak at the item-buying aspect of MOBAs.
Street brawl is perfect for me. Its really a brilliant way to learn what items do what in a very natural way. The UI and QOL changes they made are also so impressive.
It's just refreshing to see such a huge huge content update to a game. I've never been so impressed. Valve is the fuckin real deal.
Which body do you have? The 17mm 1.2 is comfortable on the larger-bodied om1, but people say it's a bit big on the the smaller Olympus bodies. The 17mm 1.8 is tiny though and fits nice on the om-3 style bodies
Thanks. I got a different copy from KEH rather than eBay -- lo and behold! this shit sharp lol
What version of proton are you using? Whenever I have weird issues with a game, usually the thing that fixes it is switch proton version. GE proton 10-28 has been working well for me so far across all my games.
I took a look at the interior of the lens by shining my phone light through the back of the lens toward the front, and I saw quite a bit of ...erhm... smearing? on the front element of the lens. I'm thinking it may just be a bad copy. Initiated a return
I recently purchased an M. Zuiko 17mm f1.2 lens after reading it's the sharpest lens in the micro four thirds system. I have the 25mm f1.2, and it's been wonderful -- even wide open -- but all the technical lens tests say it is a step below the 17mm f1.2 and the 45mm f1.2 in terms of sharpness.
Ive been testing this new 17mm lens and I immediately noticed it is almost unusably sharp wide open -- not something I'm used to since I can use the 25mm wide open and achieve very good sharpness. The 17mm wide open leaves quite a bit more to be desired, which is not what I expected based on the reviews online.
Stopping down to 2.0 the 17mm does get very sharp and far more useable, but I'm a bit disappointed by its performance wide open so far.
Maybe someone can take a look at these test shots of a wall, tell me if theyre worth anything at all in terms of being able to tell why this is happening (ie, maybe it could be due to the focal length being wider, or the field curvature being more curved or something? I was thinking, maybe it's that with closeups at 17mm the DOF is so shallow that there isn't much there to be in focus l, but I don't think that's it)
((Also I'm not asking whether either of these shots are usable, really only using them to compare the sharpness wide open of these two lenses))
Feeling like maybe I should just return the 17mm and use the 12-40 f2.8 I have on the shelf if I ever need to go wider than 25mm.
[First pic is 17mm, second is 25mm, distance from wall is ~1m]

Edit: I have swapped in the picture with a different edit. this one has less noise and is a bit darker. I definitely under exposed this image, somehow. there is a lot of noise. im not sure how, since it was so sunny i usually am using one stop more light than sunny 16, so this was likely around f11 250....
