Single lens reflexes have one massive advantage: the sensor is not being used while you're composing or idle, which means the sensor doesn't heat up as much.

The other big advantage is much better battery life.

That reminds me of this real exchange in the Missouri state legislature regarding the "Don't Say Gay" bill that banned any mention of "sexual orientation or gender identity" in schools.

They could simply continue from where they left off in Season 1 and fill in the blanks? I personally felt the ending was a little unsatisfying.

Either way, it's a bold move. It wouldn't be the first time a team of writers has had to come up with completely original material and fallen flat on their faces.

-> Protests go on peacefully for X number of days.

-> University management call in the cops.

-> News headlines the next day: CAMPUS PROTESTS TURN VIOLENT

Ah ok, so what they mean to say isn't so much that fossils contradict evolution but that the existence of fossils can be explained by the biblical account of Noah's Flood.

Not the same thing of course, but then hardly surprising given the apparent level of scientific understanding on display.

They show how fossils contradict evolution

I've heard most creationist talking points before but this one is new.

How do they attempt to argue that the existence of fossils contradicts evolution by natural selection?

Haven't heard anything about this! The idea is intriguing at least, and the cast looks good.

You're fine as long as you don't decide to jump in and offer a contrary opinion.

I find that lemmy has less of an echo chamber, but the average political stance is a lot more left-ish than reddit.

This is true once you've blocked Lemmygrad and Hexbear, which are as much echo chambers as r/The_Donald ever was.

First order of business: justify why Galadriel spends the entire first season looking for Sauron, discovers who he is, and then proceeds to tell absolutely bloody no one as he helps forge the three elven rings and then saunters out of Eregion like he owns the place.

If the showrunners learn from their mistakes and actually fix the myriad pacing/characterization/dialogue issues from season one, there's a slim chance they might be able to turn the show into something half decent.

Now that they've got all the pointless mystery boxes about the identity of Sauron/The Stranger out of their systems, they can hopefully leave those far behind as well.

I still wouldn't call it "precise" in the slightest.

Even assuming that this ratio remains constant after the remaining 10,000 unidentified bodies are accounted for, men of fighting age only account for 40% of those being killed and not all of those will be actual Hamas fighters.
