Hi Noshoba...

Hi Sanbie

Good Evening,

Looks like a three day weekend is upon us.  I do miss the times before they shifted the holidays to the weekends.  It was nice to get a day off in the middle of the week.

Sounds like a junior position. Quite beneath you as senior-snackbringer and most importantly the high management position of over-coffeemaker. You need minions.

That's what I said but cleaning up is not their "thing" or so they say. I do sometimes use my scar on my right hand to indicate I'm severely hurt and can no longer sweap up. Carrying the cups of coffee  was just to much. And they actually believe that.
The roof is on now so the hardest job is done. I can't wait 'till it's all finished though.
Rainy sunday today. Next week we'll pick up where we left things.

We have a fake holiday this weekend. Manufactured "Family Day" on Monday. Not a true stat so not everyone gets it off. Not everyone gets paid for the time off if they get it. Not the employee's choice weather or not to actually take the day off. Not a real holiday.

Just in time for the rain comes the roof. Good stuff.

SORA  sounds interesting  PDG  hope you don't get to busy

The big thing I'm looking at is the coherence over time. One one side it becomes quite simple to create a 30 second television commercial or product placement. On the flip side is the ability to create a batch of fake video clips and string them together in an election ad in a way that the average person may not be able to see the fakes. The "drone camera" effect I mentioned to you is the biggest tell followed by inaccurate reflections and a repeat of motion among various "actors" in a scene. Look at the woman walking in the wet street. Mostly look at the reflections in the sunglasses of the crosswalk. That can't happen in reality as the angles of incidence for the reflections is different than that of the "camera" taking the shot.

There are built ins that mark the output as artificial but my misspent youth comes in to play here. I've long maintained "What man can make. Man can break. That's the C.hallenge O.f R.everse E.ngineering." and I'll leave it at that.

Almost forgot. Good morning everyone. Hope your day goes well and the weekend restful and fun although those two things are sometimes mutually exclusive.

Morning.. looks like the old bachelor's have the upper hand early in the churchlady fight at the laundry mat.
