Boyle uses low budget guerilla film techniques for feature films sometimes. 28 Days was the first feature shot on consumer tape cameras, Canon X1 I think, and they compensated by using a lot of them at once.

Most expensive scene was an empty bridge in London at 5:30AM, IIRC, and they only had a few minutes to pull it off. Lots of cheap cameras gives you options, if you can work with resolution and lens and colourspace issues.

Your recent comment history is a series of bitter one-liner quips designed to drag people down.

Ghost pepper

They don’t understand that we mean it like “Yanqui”, as in, imperialists.

AKA “hypernormalization”.

Anyone notice how sketchy the last USA election was, yet how quiet people are about that? They are worn down.

I have been doing this for years. The recipe you linked is too much work for me, I usually just finish the dough in the same bowl, less clean up.

I use a canadian “all-purpose” unbleached flour, water, salt, and instant yeast, and vary additives based on the kind of loaf. For sandwich bread I add rolled oats and red river cereal and a bit of dairy (for crust softener) and bake in a loaf pan at lower temperature than the dutch oven for a boule.

Tonight is an extra dough for pizza too, so that dough will be just white flour but not as “slack” (wet), and I will turn it out onto a pastry board for shaping.

Do you mean the oligarch owned media?

Other citizen-oriented media is better for a broader “allowable discourse” around what big money is up to.

Everyone seems to forget the Libor scam/conspiracy. Trillions.

Me too, plus I don’t tailgate!

Is it that uniformly bad? I guess the exceptions to the rule stand out starkly then.

You know that this is a global forum, right?

Oh, do your regional school districts let teachers design their own curriculum?

Recently bought a composting toilet, the Thinktank, which is not only the only canadian made (in Victoria BC) waterless toilet but one of the best designs and quality.

Verrrrrry clever, you misspelled ‘tenet’ but it doesn’t fool me, bot! /jk

lol it’s all good friend

A teachable moment for some readers who have trouble discerning the difference between the words.

This is one case where misspelling ‘affect’ works.

Honestly the people who confuse honest cultural imitation or fusion with appropriation aren’t thinking critically about what harm is being done.

American exceptionalism produces a lot of these false positive responses, which is super annoying because it’s a real problem with economic consequences.

E.g. dreads is an ancient hairstyle for different ethnicities, cf. any sadhu, and no one is getting rich off of it.

Yeah, that’s inaccurate, sorry.

It’s actually a pretty nuanced topic, that has been attacked and thus muddled intentionally, but the simplified version is similar to fraud.

Basically, if it’s not your culture, but you act like it is and get paid (or equivalent) for representing it in some way, then it is appropriation. Whether that matters or not depends on power relations, so people at the wrong end of the genocide stick, for instance the Cree, don’t want people to make and sell something like headdresses that are supposed to be reserved for very specific purposes. It’s a ripoff and wrong on multiple levels.

Think ‘stolen valour’ responses for people wearing military medals without the right, but add on lost income and a history of shit and abuse as salt in the wound.

Free, except for the amortized R&D and construction costs.
