It's basically the same as old Karel Zeman films, he uses it for highly stylized look but here it is used for invisible VFX.

It is surprising that these effects didn't change much, now they are aided by computers.

When I see how some of our politicians can run away from justice, it isn't that weird.

But our justice system is truly independent from the political one.

 

For me it is the concept of registering to vote. I am citizen so I have the right to vote automatically and only thing I need to provide is some accepted ID.

If you really need/want to, use foreign coverage of it. Maybe BBC or other English world wide news will have something (DW, 24France).

You will get mostly unbiased info and it is usually more chill than the heated debates. I use this sometimes but for my country it doesn't cover much news.

There are few things to look for and it all depends on what bike you want.

  • derailleurs and shifters: With friction shifting you can slap any derailleur on bike and it will work. Otherwise look at the brand, model and number of speeds, they can have different cable pull standard that isn't in production.

  • bottom bracket: It is mess of different standards but it shouldn't be problem sourcing replacements.

  • frame: Good steel frame will outlive all the other components, so look at the mounting points for them. Flat mount disc brakes or type of V brakes, BB diameter and type,...

  • fork: Go for rigid fork if you want less things to worry about.

Basically look for all the parts, how to buy them, change them, if they require special tools...

I don't have driving license but I did the calculation.

Tldr: repair + depreciation cost per year are equal to cheapest car leasing per month.

So I have more expensive bike in the range of 2000€ (including rack, panniers and some other stuff). On the second hand market similar bikes go for 1400€ (even older ones in this category), I count depreciation for 10 years so 60€/year (beat this with car).

Repairs/maintenance is around 100-200€ for me but I easily ride 10 000 km/year on it in every condition and surface.

I basically save for new bike per year even with public transport tickets counted in.

 

Ifixit take on current bike/e-bike manufacturers.

Did anyone make some headcount? Like nice graphics when and how many people died, in TOS dead are in nearly every episode.

Because selective breading is technically a form of genetic engineering/modification. I think it's fine and we do it for thousands of years.

New methods make it easier, faster and gives more options what to do (modified proteins...).

Sorry the only one that I used is in Czech. If you want to look it up:

"Pivařka" ISBN 978-80-7565-108-2

It has more general information (little bit useless for homebrewing) but half of it are recipes.

Any recipie book for homebrewing.

It just gives you ideas what to do, you have to figure out/iron out the techniques. They are for each settup different so with any book/manual you have to tinker with it yourself.

If you don't know anything about Westworld - don't read reviews...

The mindfuck from the first season is worth it when you go blind in to it. The soundtrack is making the vibe of it even more disturbing/disorienting.

 

I didn't watched it yet but it is always fun.

 

Hi is there some project, instructions or some github repo for converting 360° video and GPX file to something like street view?

I would like to map this way local cycling routes.
