All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things. But I see you’re just downvoting and arguing so I’ll be on way cheers.

I don’t think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.

I agree on this for products however with services (such as the ones I provide) I can’t really give you a price upfront except for stuff I’ve highly standardized, because I have no idea until we work out the project on how much labour/costs it’s gonna have.

I know a guy that’s a pilot and while 90% of his flying is leisure, he’ll sometimes fly down to France for his vacations etc in one. Doesn’t own them though, has to pay rentals.

Except they only know the amounts/frame of references for the specific things they’re used to, so it’s not like they can do the conversion any better than the rest of us. Canadians have a similar (though different) system as well.

These things are so creepy.

Great comment all around albeit with maybe a bit outdated yet personal experience.

I would say, don’t underestimate blender, it has a lot of parallel progress going on and while I never used it for video editing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty powerful in that area.

I’m personally a resolve user and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy from avid or premiere at this stage (you admit yourself it was 8 years since you tried it). It’s incredibly powerful and the free version should get you by for most projects though you might run into a few things where you wish you had the studio version.

My personal experience when I was shopping around before settling on resolve (3/4 years ago) was that all the other FOSS options I tried were mid at best.
