Musk is whining because the EU has fined X for violating EU rules. And given what pre-EU Europe was like and the fact that joining the EU is voluntary, I think it has worked out well for the union’s members. Europe of the first half of the 20th century and before was a war waging mess.

I'm surprised anyone of halfway decent moral character is still active on Twitter.

Thanks! Anything wider than around f/8 on 8x10 format gives an incredibly shallow depth of field. I was probably at around f/8 or maybe f/5.6 on this one.
