Put yourself as head of the FDA. You can make two mistakes.

1) You can allow a drug to go to market that will potentially kill or harm a bunch of people
2) You can prevent a drug from going to market that will potentially help or save a bunch of people.

Which mistake will you make.

Mistake #1 everyone will know.
Mistake #2 no one will know. (It's not an easy metric to measure)

This is why regulation can be so bad. How many people in history have died from preventing or delaying a drug to go to market.... The government not only made the right decision with the covid vaccine. They probably should have scaled back regulation on many drugs.
Each person should have his or her ability to choose.....Free to choose.

The logic above does not take into consideration of all of the unforseen deaths that are almost impossible to measure for the implementation of restricted movements.

Hey Russ. Great to see you're still around. I got a large Wacom about six months ago and not doing all that much editing, I have been circling the sucker ever since trying to decide if I want to mess with it or not. I may, given your info, trade it for a small one and see how that goes. Thanks!


Hi Old timer......
If you have the large you can just remap it to make it small. You still take up more space on the desk with the large....once remapped they're all the same....
Glad you're still kickin!

The number one thing you should do is remap your WACOM surface area. Here is a link explaining why. It will make your work so much easier...

I was playing that song on the stereo and my wife mentioned that “Vera” is Latin for “truth”. I guess most people know that, but I didn’t, and I suspect Roger Waters was using this aspect in the subtext.



Vera Lynn was a singer in WWII(Active singing to this day or at least till she was around 100)
Now Vera Lynn's parents may have named her Vera for Latin.
I had an Aunt named Vera...Very common old name....From latin
Much of the Wall is about War. ie.

Mother -- Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb.
Good bye Blue sky. -- Look Mommy there is plane up in the sky. Did you hear the frightened ones did you hear the falling bombs.....
Bring the boys back home.

Many of the songs had no notable ties to(War)what appeared to be WWII

Comfortably Numb .. One of my Turns... Hey you... Young lust.......

Most of The Wall seemed to continue the theme of Dark Side of the Moon which had themes that stress us humans out or cause some type of turmoil . Waters has said as much in an interview on Youtube. This was especially evident in Dark side of the Moon.

Some of the set list from Dark Side of the Moon.
Money,
Brain Damage,
On the Run
Time
Us and Them,
Careful with that Axe, Eugene.

The Axe was used in The Wall in One of my Turns.

Some Stressful or drama event songs on The wall.
Young Lust
The Thin Ice
Empty Spaces
Nobody Home
The show must go on.
Don't leave me now.
Comfortably Numb
One of my Turns.
Is there anybody out there?

I personally consider these albums, three of which were by Pink Floyd, to be the best produced albums of all time. (I am biased...I love Pink Floyd.)
1) Dark side of the Moon
2) The Wall.
3) Wish You Were Here.
4) I Robot. (This was Alan Parsons who incidentally did much of the Synth stuff for Dark Side of the Moon.)

I just learned something today I didn't know.
Vera Lynn was an artist/singer who performed for the troops during WWII and was extremely popular with the UK.
She turned 101 years of age in March and is estimated to be worth approximately $150 million dollars.
I listened to the song VERA on the Album The Wall by Pink Floyd many times not knowing Vera Lynn was a real person.
I guess this puts the question asked by Pink FLoyd to rest.... "Vera, Vera, what has become of you?"

After taking care of my mother for several years before her death. I had to play that song Vera.
I still love that song, and miss the finest women I ever knew.
I once heard the hardest commandment for some to follow is...."Thou shalt honor thy mother and thy father."

Pink floyd song link to Vera.....

This particular song has some special meaning to me now.
I hope that each and everyone find something that will motivate them to move in a more creative and positive direction.

Good video Soba! I always like your objective views. More educational than opinion.
I did watch the entire video.

Here is another video that may shed light on the underlying issue.

Do you still have your 100mm 2.8 L macro? If so, how old is it and did you purchase the lens Canon USA? Was the lens shot with a protective filter?


The 100mm 2.8 L macro is sold.
The 24-105 sold.

The other two lenses are cheaper than any of the Auction prices I can find on Ebay.
16-35 and 85 1.2 are still for sale.

What’s the f-stop on the 85 mm?

And you have the 16-35 still?

Why are you selling this?

Thank you


Replied to this via PM.
The 85mm is a 85 1.2 L IS II. aka F 1.2
I still have all lenses.
Selling because of downsizing.

Please PM me if you are interested. I typically don't look out here and have notifications turned off for topics on UHH. I do get notified when I am PM'd.
