Has it indeed NOT done so, and the world is entirely imaginary, via the vagaries of entropic manifestations? Is Entropy of constant power or does it change in its potency over space and time? Are there degrees to the tendency to disorder?Ĭould Entropy bring energy and matter-like into existence just by the sheer power of its tendency? Without enthalpy (H), free energy (G), or temperature (T) is thermodynamics even a respectable science?Ĭan we reduce Entropy (S) to an infinitely powerful tendency even though it is of zero actual power as everything on the other side of the equation from it is absent? Is a force still a force if there are no minions on which it can act? ![]() Whose fantasy? It is from this point that semantics and emotion can involve us in an infinite state of reiterative argumentation if we are not careful. So, what brought us to this point if this point does exist? Are we, and all of creation, but fantasy? Quantum mechanics carries us to the precipice of collective psychosis. Einstein’s relativity does not help us any more than his energy (m x c) definition. That brings us to the point where we must ask if there were any forces present, even though matter-like and energy could not exist by our defining constraints? Newtonian forces (m x a) of course are not possible since they require mass-like and energy. Postulating such a dense mass-like substance just kicks the riddle can further down the ante(i)-time pathway, as does the mad idea of some super “God” monster. What we know as matter is mass-like speeding negative and positive energies. That would destroy our concept of perfect nothingness and propound the question – from where did that “glob” come? Anyway, there is no proof that mass-like existed or has ever existed, even today. There was not yet any super dense “glob” of mass, as most “Big Bang” physicists would have us believe. Describing a perfect void is as difficult as defending a negative hypothesis. There is no way to describe such a state since there are no descriptions to use that do not require points of reference, like “super” cold, “negative” degrees, “Kelvin” zero, or “perfect” vacuum. Blackness, cold unmoving vacuum, would be ubiquitous. It is difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a perfect nothingness. ![]() In the beginning nothing existed, not even a wailing void. Right? Magic is for the credulity of children and those who choose not to think. How did the world come about if all was one big nothing, from which nothing could come? Nothing can come from nothing. ![]() If we answer the last question here mentioned with a negative, it begs the question. These questions are as nothing when we compare them to questions like:įrom where have we come? Where are we going? How did it all come about? Is our existence all just a great big cruel illusion? Is the greatest illusion of all the fact that humans believe something is being withheld from them, and if they do enough research, live long enough, suffer enough, they will find out that existence is not absurd and all in vain? Are dreams the mortal enemy of peace? It is one of the greater illusions humans face. Is the constitutive survival lesion just humanity’s inability to avoid illusions? The apparent purpose in all of biological evolution only adds to the appearance of purpose in all of creation. Humans have numerous hoops through which they must jump in order to achieve such freedom. Why? Beasts have no problem dying when they wish to do so. It does not seem to have done that for the beasts. ![]() Can Coragyps atratus see Death as a Sine Wave?Įvolution has shaped the mortal’s involuntary capacity for easy acceptance of illusions.

The firmament pictured5/1/2024 In Sumerian mythology, An is the god of the sky/firmament, whereas Enlil (literally, “Lord of Wind” ) is the god of what happens between the ground (controlled by En.Ki, “Lord of the Earth”) and the firmament. This belief in a solid firmament was standard among the people of the ANE, who distinguished between the “atmosphere” in which we live and the solid sky above. Ĭultural legends describing the dome are abundant enough to include arrows being shot into the firmament and lodging there (Japan, Native America, Chuckchee), adventurers climbing up to the sky (India), people climbing up through a hole in the firmament (Navaho) or tumbling down through one (Seneca), and heroes sailing a ship to the place where the sky meets the earth (Buriat), and where the firmament is so low that ship masts can end up scraping it. This understanding is so ubiquitous that some anthropologists consider it a “general human belief.” As Paul Seely, a Bible scholar who works on the intersection of ANE literature and science, writes: Apart from a scientific education, it is just too natural for people to think of the sky as something solid. This barrier is dome shaped, since we see the heavens above curving into the horizon and meeting the flat earth. Water doesn’t fall on us because something is holding it up, and that something is transparent, since we can see the blue hue of the liquid behind it. The sky is blue because it is full of water, like the sea. It is best understood as a product of the pre-scientific mind, attempting to make sense of what it sees and offering an intuitive, though factually incorrect, account. The idea of the sky above us as a solid structure is shared by almost all pre-modern human cultures. The idea of a firmament is entirely contradictory to modern planetary science yet there God is, in our Torah, spending all of creation day number two fashioning it. Gen 1:6 God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, that it may separate water from water." 1:7 God made the firmament, and it separated the water which was below the firmament from the water which was above the firmament. If you can entertain this notion, and feel yourself underneath this massive curved wall of heaven, straining under the weight of the rainwater it holds back, then you are living on the earth our sages knew, for this is the world, the universe, of which the Bible conceived: בראשית א:ו וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי רָקִיעַ בְּתוֹךְ הַמָּיִם וִיהִי מַבְדִּיל בֵּין מַיִם לָמָיִם. This is what the Bible is describing when it refers to הָרָקִיעַ, traditionally rendered in English Bibles as “the firmament” (from the Latin firmamentum meaning “support”). Only try and picture it as a connecting point between two solids: a flat plate like earth, and a rigid dome like an upside down bowl that vaults it, blue as ocean, from the vast stores of water it contains. ![]() If you are unfamiliar with the firmament, then imagine for a moment the horizon, where the earth appears to meet with the sky. Of all the vexing problems modern cosmology poses for the first chapter of Genesis, such as the insufficient biblical timeline of 6 days (as opposed to billions of years) until the appearance of humans, or vegetative bloom before the sun and photosynthesis, the most acute for me is God’s creation of the firmament (רקיע rakia) on the second day.

![]() The existence of a confidential informant may be visible by a sudden shift in conduct. Somebody you know could be a confidential informant if they suddenly vanish or are missing for extended periods without any explanation. To obtain data or meet with law enforcement officers, a confidential informant may need to go “off the grid temporarily.” Additionally, they may need to stay away from certain persons, which might necessitate missing work or other obligations. They could also start living above their means, buying a fancy automobile they can’t afford with their present wage or relocating to a more costly house. Additionally, they could alter their spending patterns, suddenly having the capacity to afford pricey holidays or regularly purchasing luxury goods. ![]() Unexpectedly, a CI can find themselves unexpectedly wealthy or come into possession of costly items. Somebody you know who suddenly acquires considerable riches or begins living above their means may be a CI who collaborates with law enforcement organizations. Loss of job, housing, or school records.Some signs that someone may be a confidential informant include: Many legislative protections have implementation, including those that guarantee the security of CIs, the right to counsel, and the right to remain anonymous. ![]() The informant’s confidentiality must be respected since the employment of confidential informants occasionally raises moral concerns. Incentives like shorter sentences, accusations being dropped, or fewer charges are sometimes granted to CIs in exchange for their collaboration. Most of the information CI offers relates to the unlawful actions of people they are friends with and may have intimate knowledge of.Ī CI is often an individual who has been detained and offered the opportunity to assist law enforcement. What is a Confidential Informant?Ī person who gives details to law enforcement authorities about criminal activity is known as a confidential informant (CI). Come along as we highlight the signs of a confidential informant. Law enforcement may also find the suspect using the informant’s knowledge of the suspect’s location. Law enforcement authorities can employ a confidential informant to assist in identifying potential suspects after receiving information about a crime.įor instance, the confidential informant may assist in identifying the suspect by supplying details about the individual if a witness claims to have seen one at the crime site. In addition, to identify criminals, authorities also use confidential informants. Thus, we have made this post on signs of a confidential informant to aid you. To safeguard oneself and avoid trouble with the law, it’s essential to be aware of the warning indications of a prospective confidential informant. Confidential informants may also be challenging to locate since they often operate covertly and use various techniques to maintain anonymity. However, confidential informants may be difficult to uncover since they are often ingrained in social networks and neighborhoods. To obtain information and proof of illegal behavior, investigators often utilize confidential informants in the interest of law enforcement.

Tina louise tits4/30/2024 Louise’s frame wobbled between a carnival of strikes, the last of which sank into her heart and bludgeoned her spine-first into the post. The Aussie squelched as one of her tits was slung free, mewling as she rushed to palm her orb and cover, whimpering with pitiful pants as the oxygen was seemingly vacuumed from her lungs.Īnother guttural grunt erupted as Jordan slashed through her rib cartilage from the other side following with a debilitating zipper of side-hooks up her slender lower abdomen. With Louise’s torso exposed during the throwing of her overhand, Carver burrowed forward and sliced a venomous left screwdriver into the underside of her rack. Having managed to parlay the confidence gained in the prior round into an opening flurry walk-down Louise twisted a pair of spindly rights into Carver’s shoulder before the buxom German planted her heel and unleashed a blinding supernova. With Louise starting to make headway in the second and leveling the bout, Carver responded with a sizzling showing in the third. Carver edges Louise in the first with some impeccable body-work, 10-9. Her retorts were plenty fiery, but they all flamed out in Carver’s atmosphere never quite managing to slip anything of consequence through her guard. Navel, ribs, sideboob Carver carved crispy hooks up Tina’s crunching abdomen as the pixie-haired blonde was forced to re-double her efforts to keep up. Jordan’s dainty skittering seemed to backpedal Louise into a bit of mud not expecting the perineal loser to arrive with so much gusto and pop. The busty German came out with a visible hunger for revenge after being smothered out by the Aussie’s teammate getting the better of early trades with the Cougar before vaulting into the lead out the gates. Standing eye-to-eye with Louise in the pre-fight, she’d do even better on the scorecard. Tangling with the CWF for a second time in 2023, Carver wouldn’t maintain the same height advantage she had against Lindsey Pelas. Her massive K-cups likely wouldn’t remain contained for the duration the only question was whether her chin would show as much resilience as her top. ![]() Testing the tensile strength of a matte black, tiny triangular string top and matching thong bottoms, Carver effortlessly embarrassed the well-endowed Aussie. Her wide, curvy hips devoured her string thong bottoms, the biting floss disappearing between her plump cheeks and bronzed folds of flesh as she slid salaciously into the ring.Ī relative newcomer to the FCBA but no stranger to JMD bouts, Jordan Carver instantly garnered an outpouring of support as she barely made it down the ramp without sloshing out of her eye-popping micro bikini. The thin-banded tube top did little to contain her massive, overflowing D-cups her heaving orbs swelling as though they were fastened with a belt rather than a bikini top with how much cleavage and underboob was being offered. Tina was meticulously poured into a microscopic, pale-white, sheer bikini that clung to her heavy chest with admirable effort a fitting attire for this JMD bout. Please welcome the Victoria, Australia native, standing 5 foot 7, weighing in at 120 pounds, TINAAAA LOUISSSSEEEEE!!” “AND NOW! Making her 10th appearance in the ring.

The revenant free hd stream reddit 1080p4/30/2024 It's like with phones - there was a moment when manufacturers raced to introduce 4K, but nowadays nobody does it because there's zero use for it. 8K is more than enough even for VR goggles. I would personally say that 8K is the top of what we'll get and 16K will never even take off. Better contrast and colors are what you're after if you want to improve your experience. If I walk up to it, I can see the individual pixels, but while watching from the couch, you don't notice and moreover - you don't care. Even my projector screen of 120 inches is wonderfully sharp at 4K from 12 feet and fills your vision. Apart from the almost wall-sized TVs, 8K makes little sense. ![]() They should also start upscale 4K content to 8k now as sells will be delayed but they will grow as 8k TV's prices shrink.Īs most others have said, it's one thing to be able to walk up to the TV and discern the higher pixel density and a completely different thing if you're sitting a 12 feet from it. The 8k TV prices will get there in 3 to 5 years but filming of 8k content needs to start filming now for 8k TV's to have meaningful enough content to get users to move to 8k TV's. The main thing that needs to happen is the content creators need to start to push full production of 8K along with the 8k TVs getting cheaper for users to embrace 8K resolution. The beauty of 8k TV's are just under appreciate because there's too little 8K content. Combination filming at 8k and 4k should be the standard model for shooting a film at this point where filming at 4k, 8k, 16k would be pushing the Cutting Edge the moment it becomes practical.Īnother thing if you watch 8K content on a 4K TV it still looks better then 4K content actually. A few movies like Pirates of the Caribbean were record at 4k and 8k. 4k will start to be treated like 1K in 3 to 5 years time. In fact I would be thinking about investing in 16k cameras to film as soon as possible. Now is absolutely the time to start producing only 8k or above content as the time it takes to product a film it will likely become common place to watch on a 8k tv in less then 1 or 2 years after the film is releases tops. People will move to 8k when it gets cheap regardless and that is happening some good 8k tv are $1500 in a few year they will be $300 to $500. The gap between 4K and 8K will be much longer than the gap between 1080p and 4K. ![]() So 4K collections won't be rendered obsolete like a lot of Blu-Rays, it will possibly just continue the 4K + Digital option and SOME movies will be 8K digital or maybe Apple will upgrade you to 8K if you own 4K sort of like they do with 1080p to 4K. I don't think that means the end of 4K, it will just be the last remaining highest fidelity option in physical form for a niche audiences. ![]() All that said, there already exists a 1TB disc format that theoretically could be used for 8K movies easily, and maybe some day they could come out with a new disc, but considering how poorly 4K discs sell it doesn't seem like they're ever going to make a new disc format for consumers. Probably more likely 20 years and America's awful internet infrastructure will be the main thing holding it back. Probably won't be for another 10-15 years at least before you start seeing 8K smart TVs become affordable and streaming services start offering select titles in 8K. And we will get even less 8K remasters of old titles than we do now in 4K. 8K will come in digital form eventually, I just don't see it happening in the form of an optical disc.

Pixelmator pro icon4/29/2024 ![]() Compare what I get when I right-click a layer in Pixelmator Pro against the same in Photoshop: ![]() Overall, Pixelmator Pro has many fewer layer options. Pixelmator Pro offers the option of no visible layers (the default), a thumbnail view, and a list view. This interface has been around since the early days of Photoshop. Photoshop presents layers with thumbnails in various sizes and adds masks or clipping layers visually. I won’t go into why eye strain can be a problem with a “dark” interface as you can read more about that here. Luckily, Pixelmator 1.2 added a “light appearance,” but it’s available only in Mojave. In Photoshop, you can change the default dark grey to black, white, or the more eyeball-friendly medium grey. (The most notable exception is Apple’s system-wide color picker, which looks ancient these days and stubbornly appeared in the lower left of my gigantic screen every time I opened it.)Ī number of pro photographers initially groused about Pixelmator Pro’s lack of interface customization. There are a few palettes that float above the interface, but this is a relatively minor gripe. This attention to detail is a testament to Pixelmator Pro’s Apple-esque design, and that carries through into the engineering, which we’ll get to in a moment. This polish continues throughout, as fades and physics create a more tactile experience than things simply appearing. If you move your mouse to the right, the tool palette appears with a lovely fade. No layers, no apparent tools, just a big rectangle of workspace. ![]() In fact, Pixelmator Pro begins perhaps too minimally, offering little more than a big, dark grey blank slate for your work. You find that trade-off throughout the software, and as you might expect it’s often a balance between capability and simplicity. This is an overarching theme: Photoshop has so many features that they overwhelm the interface, while Pixelmator Pro sacrifices obscure features for ease of use. Let’s begin with Photoshop’s interface for starting a new document.Īs you can see, Pixelmator Pro is more streamlined. However, if you simply need to work with photos and manipulate them for the Web-which is likely a lot of Photoshop users out there-then Pixelmator Pro offers some advantages for a lot less money. Adobe offers a decent deal for subscribers: between online storage, fonts, and other workflow niceties, you won’t easily replicate that with a single application. If you do heavy print work, you rely on other Creative Cloud apps, or if you’re plugged into a workflow reliant upon some of the connected features available in Creative Cloud, I can save you some time: forget it. But can the $59.99 Pixelmator Pro replace Photoshop, which will set you back at least $9.99 per month and as much as $52.99 per month? In 2018, the Pixelmator Team released Pixelmator Pro, aimed squarely at professional Photoshop users. Photoshop is the undisputed king of photo editors, but for years the developers of Pixelmator have been challenging that throne, especially for amateurs and part-time professionals. #1694: OS text display bug fixed, CTA Tech Trends from CES, what TidBITS readers would pay for a Vision Pro, Pong Wars.#1695: Arc Instant Links, HomeKit 2.4 GHz mystery, Authy Desktop ending, Apple report card.#1696: Living with the Vision Pro, Apple Sports app, choosing SSDs, iMessage encryption, toketaWare shut down, when do you install macOS updates?.#1697: New M3 MacBook Air models, poll results and advice on macOS updates, Apple Car canceled, EU fines Apple $2 billion.#1698: OS updates add podcast transcripts, Listen Later text-to-podcast service, hybrid Mac-iPad laptop, Vision Pro in healthcare. |
