What also doesn’t make sense is, if you roughly line up his arm position in the three NYT stills vs going frame by frame in the video/audio playback captured by the various news outlets, he raises his hand to his ear nearly 2/3rds a second after the audio recorded first shot, which, given bullet velocity and distance traveled was probably nearly a full second after the first shot (so a super slow reaction time, which normal nervous system reaction time is .150-.300/sec), since you’ll hear (and audio record) the shot roughly 5 frames after it’s passed by. He starts to lift his hand off the podium at nearly the same time the second shot estimates to be fired, and maybe 3-4 frames before the first posted NYT pic catches the bullet supposedly whizzing by.

Someone posted the code for circadian whole home lighting, running on a pi not too long ago. Might be kinda cool to try out.

I bought the MultiLoader M and it’s def designed just for camera stuff. Super high quality. It is a heavy bag tho, compared with the Wandrd’s. I took an international trip with it last year with a small drone, small gimbal and like 4 lenses, one camera, laptop, etc and it was massively heavy all in. I took a similar trip this year and focused on weight, hence the Wandrd’s and took fewer lenses, took an iPad etc to shave weight where I could. Switching away from the Manfrotto was another choice. But it’s def a solid bag for shorter trips or where you’re not full backpacking everywhere.

Any Brother color laser. Total workhorse for cheap.

They’re heavy and I wouldn’t recommend for long travel because of that, but the Manfrotto backpacks are very well built. I have one of the larger ones, and it’s great for carrying heavier lenses. I also picked up the 21L and 31L Wandrd but I’m not in love with those. They’re good, just seems like there’s some things they could do better — like the number of internal zipper pockets needs to be more, the laptop / iPad sleeves need to be less flimsy, the velcro needs to be better and placed better, etc. good luck!

Just had this discussion with an attorney friend actually. As a corporation, it is reduction of risk. Spend time on a jury in a criminal case and you’ll see how variable the verdict-making process really is, sadly. Most attorneys will force the hand of corporations to settle — guaranteed small/ medium payout, or a roll the dice chance at having to make a massive payout — they’ll always go the settle route.
