Fittit, what is the most insane core workout you have ever done? by zeitgeist808in Fitness

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 1 point2 points ago

I used to do sets of 100 on my ab wheel (this was from a kneeling position). Then I learned you could do full extensions on them without letting anything but your feet and the wheel touching the ground. Then I could only do sets of 30. But I digress, the ab wheel is the best ab workout I've ever been able to find.

What does reddit think of JVC's 4K Camcorder by mezzizlein Filmmakers

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 1 point2 points ago

Are you ever going to encounter a job or project where the deliverables HAVE to be in 4K though?

I can't imagine any commercial work demanding that. If you are shooting for IMAX then I highly doubt this is the camera that would match your budget.

By the way, how are those Letus adapters? I'm always wary of using an adapter as I feel like somehow it's simply not going to deliver the proper image.

yeah come to think of it, why not just get an AF100 for cheaper?

I have a nice collection of EF lenses so assuming I didn't have access to one already I'd just get a Canon 5D Mark II for that much money and call it even. (I'm saving up for the C300 myself though).

Price point seems reasonable. I suppose having 60p at those high resolutions might come in handy. I'm not in love though. I mean... lens options?

Should we petition the US to have film subsidies to keep work local? by behemuthmin Filmmakers

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

I feel like unions are great for industries where the work is more straightforward and the economic output from company to company tends to be similar like manufacturing, retail, or hospitality services.

However, to treat film making as if all films are the same from an economic viewpoint is just silly. At the very least film unions should have different brackets of acceptable pay based on the films budget. Something that falls into a range that independent film makers can handle.

It seems a shame to have to completely pass over our home market in order to get our films made. I know the only two major films I have been offered work on have all been overseas (I haven't gone because I'm still in college) but I guess I'm starting to understand why.

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 1 point2 points ago

This is an interesting conundrum. I am staunchly in support of unionization of the workforce but unions seem to fit poorly into artistic fields. I can't say that I see a viable solution to this problem other than simply going around them somehow...

How do I make a DVD Menu like this? What program would I use? And how? by calvinvlein videography

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago* 

Only way I'd know how to do it is After Effects in Encore but if you have to ask that question chances are you'd be better of using applications that don't have difficult learning curves (After Effects still gives me fits I swear)

Dark Seer Revisited by LegatoForRealin DotA2

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago* 

DS'a illusions hurt more than any other illusions in the game (maybe except one of morphs). Who says they are weak?

I've had DS fuck up so many games I was otherwise running away with.

The actual role of 'tanks' by IHTFPhDin DotA2

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

It basically just allows him to buy something other then port key if you ask me. If anything it had TOO much synergy since it also doubled the attack speed but halved the damage of whomever you hit. So more procs, higher movement speed, plus double your auto-attack damage when you land it? Sounds like a way to make Axe viable to me.

Occupy Cracks Down on Cameras As Secrecy Replaces Transparency by Ze_Cariocain occupywallstreet

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 2 points3 points ago

Im getting the feeling it's a setup. I can't imagine a protester really taking issue with that. Might be some kind of police op to sabotage the movements image.

It's what I'd do if I wanted to put a dent in OWS's momentum.

All it really did was make Lego more viable than Axe if you ask me.

Upping the percentage but having it set to a timer makes the most sense to me. Higher levels would just decrease the timer cooldown until it was at like .5 sec. This would keep from having crazy 4 insta procs but also prevent having whole fights where helix doesn't go off.

Battle hunger just needs to go. I very much preferred the charge they engineered for Legionnaire in HoN over that slow dot that is useless anywhere outside of early game laning (and really who lanes with axe?).

This is the funniest scam I've ever seen. Need proof? by HAMBOIGAHSin gaming

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

The joke is, just using a word like "because" or "proof" without anything following it will often have the same level of compliance as offering a coherent, understandable reason.

Cialidini talks about this sort of thing at length in his book, "Influence".

At the very least this is a fair and appropriate response to being attacked.

Scratch (HipHop documentary) by liquidfuryin Documentaries

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 3 points4 points ago* 

Still one of my favorite documentaries of all time. They did a "Scratch Tour" where they would play a portion of the documentary on multiple big screens throughout the venue starring say Mix Master Mike and then Mix Master Mike would get on and play a set just after. Still one of the better events I've been to (and I've been to a lot).

Wim Wenders: "3D is the greatest revolution ever since the talkies, only most people didn’t realize it because we thought it was just a gimmick for national blockbusters." by cameronjin Filmmakers

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

I love IMAX 3D when it's done right. It's only done right about 1 in 4 attempts but each time it's done right it takes what might have been an okay film and turns it into a roller coaster ride for me.

I get that a lot of people aren't on board with it yet but I've been sold since day one.

It's always in the back of my mind when going to parties by Idigthebackseatin funny

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

Ok here's the thing. There's nothing wrong with desire but if you want to be seen as worthwhile it helps a great deal to have something else to do at the party. If your primary reason is to get laid, you are kinda fucking yourself over.

Go to dance, go because you like the music, go to make friends or socialize but if you can't genuinely do any of that, no worthwhile women is going to want to do the horizontal mambo with you later.

Thanks. Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for not being able to detect the language of someone screaming on such a poor quality vid but whatevs.

Bank of America is trying to scam me. by this_too_shall_pass_in occupywallstreet

[–]Fu_Man_Chu 0 points1 point ago

I had Citibank do something similar after an account I had with them became compromised somehow. I went in to report a missing 300 dollars from a service that charged my bank account directly for goods but never delivered them. After they refunded me the money I noticed the charge showed up again. Rather than continually deal with that sort of thing I closed the account and walked away. About a year later I got a call from the bank say I owed them something in excess of 700 dollars, due to overdrafts and mysterious charges.

To which my reply was of course, "How do you charge something to an account I closed". They never answered that to my satisfaction but obviously the answer is that banks refuse to close accounts even when you demand that they do. This is not only dubious but should be outright illegal.
