A few different film techniques.

they could film the actor in different costumes on the same set without moving the camera, and then they put those performances together.

so you can have the profile of Austin powers on the left talking to the profile of Dr. evil on the right, and those were separate performances pasted together so it looks like they’re responding to each other even though Mike Myers was performing those conversations separately during different recordings.

If evil and Austin are in the same shot and it’s an over-the-shoulder, the actor facing the camera is the real actor and the guy not facing the camera is a body double with the same hair or bald mask

so if you were looking at Austin and Dr. evil in the same shot, either those are two separate performances put together and you’ll see that they never touch each other, or if they do touch each other, you’ll notice that you never see the frontal face of one of the actors, which is actually a body double.

and you can see these two techniques and others used in Eddie Murphy’s movies, or pretty much any body double move movie.

I’m curious, since the federation seems a lot more geographically decentralized then reddit did.

is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?

some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can’t find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.

cool. i always like digging through the huge pillow cushion area they have at thrift stores.

I have a lot of pillows.

I liked using my standing desk in my home office. so much that I eventually got one for the office.

I got a lot of compliments and interested short conversations, but notably only one other person transitioned to a standing desk.

I’ll say that some chairs are more comfortable than others, but a standing desk is finally what felt the most comfortable for me.

oh right. goodbye, biden’s billionaire tax.

as with their scientific paper mills, China produces quantity, not quality.

The hateful minority have run a campaign championing selfishness and ignorance and the vicarious absolution thereof.

it’s much easier to be selfish and ignorant than it is to be considerate and responsible.

conservatives are selfish and ignorant and their party is very successfully campaigning selfishness and ignorance.

on the other hand, the democrats have to convince people that childish short-term desires are not always the best decision for themselves and others.

Trump is telling everybody that if you want to steal a cheeseburger from somebody else and eat it, then you should.

Harris is telling everybody that stealing is wrong and counterproductive, and cheeseburgers are not healthy.

or, since Trump is a rapist:

Trump is telling conservatives it’s good to rape people If they want to rape people.

Harris is telling people that it isn’t good to rape people because it violates their dignity and free will.

so weird. the people don’t like MBFC.

be cool. they’ll be cool.

yea, I’m on this train.

paid leave is the first answer that would get me to vote in person.

I can’t believe none of you wait in lines haha, it’s good to hear but absolutely surreal.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a voting office without waiting for at least half an hour.

I like voting early just so I get confirmation my vote was counted and if anything goes wrong I have a few weeks to deal with it.

your method sounds good too.

that’s a good point.

has anything significantly swayed your local election preferences this year?

feel free to make up an analog situation to avoid revealing anything personal.

you can track your mail in ballot, but I do like what you’re talking about, leaving physical recordings and evidence of you voting.

milkshakes are convincing.

you can track your mail-in ballot and receive a notification when it’s received and tallied.

but it’s nice to ride around. get a chore done.

High goddamn five, that sounds fantastic.

I’ve experimented with fish sauce before, just be real careful because even mixed into a marinade, it’s so strong and distinctive then you can easily pick it out and after a couple tablespoons it’ll completely overwhelm every other flavor.

I’ll also say get the higher quality fish sauce, it really makes a difference.

The cheaper fish sauces do not play well with other flavors.

I don’t like the liquid smoke myself, that usually turns my batches into Walmart jerky territory.

but I only have ever used q couple kinds and hated them, so I’m sure out of the billion types of liquid smoke there are a couple that are inoffensive.

and there’s always personal taste.

what is liquid smoke? is it actual bits of dust?

yep, it’s little bits of smoke mixed and condensed into a liquid.

have fun, I hope you have more free time, I agree it’s a lot of fun to make the jerky to specification.
