(You are aware that lab-grown meat is still meat and not an independent organism, right? It’s essentially dead and would rot within hours if kept at room temperature)

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany’s longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they’re known for is so different.

Currently not. Lab grown meat is a more or less homogeneous mass of muscle fiber. A few years ago we could only make what is essentially minced meat, now we’re getting closer to entire steaks. Still far away from growing specific muscle groups, organs, bones and skin.

Tamron used to make EF-mount lenses, I remember I tried one around 2010, then bought a Sigma instead.

Cons: not available for Canon cameras (at least according to Tamron’s website)

Wrong community. This is for open ended questions and discussion, not for asking for help.

A better place

The most interesting thing is that he wasn’t the only one. A guy who called himself Victor Lustig did the same thing with the Eiffel Tower.

You know what? Maybe keep that kind of comment for the porn communities.

Well, it fully depends on the effect you’re after. In this case there was no background to blur and I wanted her body fully in focus. The flashes are by far powerful enough to work with f/4.5 which makes focusing a lot easier. For other shots I did use the f/1.4.

• Camera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
• Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
• ISO: 100
• Shutter speed: 1/80s
• Aperture: f/4.5

Lighting is mainly a soft box on either side, both slightly above head height and set back a bit to create the shadow in the middle of the face. The rest is quite a bit of fiddling around with the RAW. For comparison, here’s what it looked like straight out of the camera:

Same project at least. This one is from day 2. I think you helped on day 5 or 6.

When I updated my lemmy instance, I forgot to update pictrs as well which broke the uploads.

I shut down my pc for the day but I‘ll try to remember to post it tomorrow.

Ah damn… it worked when I posted. Imgur must have broken it again. And for some reason I can’t upload directly to lemmy, I get a weird error.

Okay, I‘m honestly confused why this is collecting downvotes without comments? Do people see the NSFW tag and downvote without looking at the photos, thinking I‘m abusing this community to post porn? I marked it as such because the photos technically contain nudity though I wouldn’t consider them erotic art.

Or are my photos really that bad?

I just made it 62.

The 99 bottles of beer song is (was?) a popular programming exercise to teach beginners about loops. Singing it in real life would be pretty annoying because you would essentially repeat the same two sentences for a couple of minutes. Apparently, the PHP developers were planning to order one beer each, sing the song and get on everyone’s nerves. The C++ dev stopped this by buying all the remaining beer at once.

The choice of languages is probably OP’s own prejudice. These days I’d say PHP devs are on average older and more experienced than JS and Python devs, just because almost nobody learns PHP as their first language anymore.

The bakery down the road from where I grew up used to hold the Guinness world record for the largest version of a local specialty.
