PJ stupid spreader, but I insist we do something. You are an absolute saint for doing your free podcast thingy for the musicians you claim to support so much.
You want me to do one for you too bro? Do you have any original tunes? I can do a 3-camera shoot live from your backyard, as long as you have fast enough internet that I can plug an ethernet wire into.

Thank you, I do get that comment often.

In all seriousness though, for anyone wanting to produce professional quality multi-camera livestreams or recordings at home, I highly recommend the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro, or really anything in the ATEM line.
I like analog too but ethernet with no wifi in this day and age? I got wifi with my $50 digital microscope.

Too many buttons. ;)

:peace:

The hardware streaming encoder that the ATEM Mini has requires a hard line connection, although the latest software update does allow for cellphone tethering via USB-C, but I don't trust cell phone connectivity for a professional level livestream. I wouldn't be surprised if Blackmagic comes out with a wifi version or adapter in the future though. Their stuff is top notch. Also if you want a professional video editor for free, get their Davinci Resolve software.

So you claim to be a democrat that pushes Russian propaganda, interesting.


Im guessing that if you took any position that the Russian military has been doing programming on people with you will end up with just about the same kind of numbers of the above.

So about 10%(+/- a few %) of non-Trump/Republican radicalized voters will still fall for the propaganda but still care enough about other real issues (such as not selling out to a foreign dictator or education) to still vote for the Democrats. The ones that are closest to be pushed into the troll to get to not vote category from the 'left'. By getting radicalized to argue about these hot button trigger topics with their friends/family, regardless of 'side', makes for good arguments during the holidays.

Vaccinations among care home staff soar
Concerted push to overcome language, hesitancy barriers pushes rate to as much as 80 per cent

It was about 30%, now between 70-80%. It says that the Engish barrier was part of the problem with the concent form. Also doing vaccinations on site at the homes increased the vacinations 10%. Got to make it easy for people.

Now that I may have use for. The wife has a bunch of home movies from when she was a kid that were put on VCR and I have a TV/VCR card in my old XP computer that I've used to copy the VCR tapes to MP4s. Only done one so far that's 2hours long and no sound with them as they were originally done with super8 film. Would be nice if she could do voice overlays to describe the scenes and action. My sister had our old home movies my dad was nuts about doing too so I could get them off her and make MP4s out of them and do the same. Some kiddie porn in there tho with me and my sister in the bathtub or running around nekkid when we were like 3 and 5. lol

Thanks for that tip!

:peace:

The Delta Virus Variant Has the World on Edge. What to Know. | Barron's (barrons.com)

The Delta Virus Variant Has the World on Edge. What to Know.

In the Chinese province of Guangdong, authorities are rushing to quash an outbreak of a worrying Covid-19 variant before it can spread. Officials are instituting lockdowns, compulsory testing campaigns, flight cancellations, and other serious measures.

What has the Chinese officials so concerned is that the outbreak appears to be tied to a Covid-19 variant known as the Delta variant, formerly referred to as the Indian variant. That’s the variety that is thought to have played a key part in the explosive outbreak in India in April and May, and it has the world on edge.

Scientific understanding continues to develop, but early information suggests that while fully vaccinated people are well protected, it poses a serious threat to unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people and populations.
“The most vulnerable individuals to variant B. 1.617.2 are those that have not been fully vaccinated, which accounts for a significant proportion of the global population, especially in Latin America, Asia and Africa,” J.P. Morgan analyst David Mackie wrote in a Monday research note.

First identified in India in October, the variant became a pressing worry in recent months. The World Health Organization designated it a variant of interest in April, and named it a variant of concern on May 11.
According to a risk assessment published June 3 by Public Health England, a U.K. agency, the variant appears to be more transmissible than the original version of the virus that causes Covid-19. It is now the dominant variant in the U.K.

The risk assessment also suggests that there may be a higher risk of hospitalization in cases caused by the Delta variant, though that conclusion is less robust.

Public Health England says that a single dose of a two-dose vaccine offers significantly less protection against the Delta variant than it does against other versions of the virus. Two vaccine doses offers far more protection.

A paper published by Public Health England, which hasn’t yet been peer reviewed, found that vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant after a single dose of the AstraZeneca (ticker: AZN) or the Pfizer (PFE) vaccines was 33.5%, compared with 51.1% for the so-called U.K. variant. After two doses, the difference was far less dramatic. The Pfizer vaccine was 87.9% effective against the Delta variant after two doses, compared with 93.4% effective against the U.K. variant, according to the Public Health England paper.

A paper published in The Lancet on June 3, based on a laboratory study, found that the Delta variant elicited lower antibody levels in people vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine than other variants did.

The CDC has named the Delta variant a variant of interest, though it hasn’t upgraded it to the category of variant of concern. The WHO, however, calls Delta one of four variants of concern globally.

In his Monday note, J.P. Morgan’s Mackie says that the variant has potential to spread quickly through unvaccinated populations. “Our reading of the evidence suggests that variant B. 1.617.2 is much more transmissible than either the original SARS-CoV-2 strain or variant B.1.1.7, but fully vaccinated individuals are well protected,” he wrote. “This means that infections will spread very rapidly through a susceptible population, as has happened in India in recent months.”

Developed countries, Mackie says, seem largely safe. In emerging markets, however, the picture is far more worrying. “India’s experience in recent months illustrates what can happen when SARS-CoV-2 variant B. 1.617.2 runs through a susceptible population,” he writes. “This argues strongly not only for faster vaccine production but also a more equal distribution. Of the 2.1 billion doses of vaccine administered thus far, 30% has gone to [developed market] countries, even though they account for only 12% of the world’s population.”
