On one hand, these “protestors” are mostly unhinged nutjobs.
This is the dumbest thing I've read all week.
Part of the point maternity leave is to allow time to physically recover from having your body ripped open. The baby being stillborn doesn't make the birthing process any less horrifically damaging to the body.
Yeah, spending hours in a sealed cylinder full of cigarette smoke and dudes sexually assaulting the staff was very cool and fun.
Cameras have low processing power because they don't require all that much. The issue is the physics of light severely limiting what a sensor small enough to fit in a smartphone can do. A small sensor requires either fewer pixels, smaller pixels, or both.
Fewer pixels = lower resolution = worse image quality.
Smaller pixels = less light gathered = worse image quality and far worse low light performance.
While something like this could be made, it would be very expensive, and there is no possible way it could come close to the image quality of even an entry-level DSLR or mirrorless camera. Even the best lens in the world can't make up for a bad sensor. Smartphones can use their higher processing power to try to hide it with HDR and absurdly bad faked depth of field, but it will always look noticeably worse compared to the same photo taken on even a very old, low-end APS-C or full frame camera.
Smartphone cameras definitely fill a big niche in photography, but unless there's an incredible breakthrough in sensor technology, their physical limitations will always prevent them from being good enough for widespread professional use.
In L.A. any firm, person, or corporation that violates tree ordinance codes is subject to “fines anywhere between $5.00 and $200.00 per offense” but a jail term “not more than 50 days” may also apply.
So literally no consequences whatsoever. Those executives can casually spend more than what that adds up to on a single meal, and they obviously aren't going to get any jail time.
I guess this means the republicans will have to introduce a poorly written bill next week declaring Denver a terrorist state?
Aside from maybe Haiti, Mississippi is by far the most dangerous place in the western hemisphere to be a black person. Don't look into it unless you want your whole week ruined.
If you did, the next call would very likely be your house. Lots of precedent for it in that shithole state.
Or it would be, if you weren't still surrounded by brain dead shitheels operating massive deadly weapons like they're in a fucking demo derby.
