Well, potato is one of the higher-calorie crops, and one pound contains around 350 calories. If you produce 3,120 lbs a year, that gives you about a million calories. Now, let's as…

If you do that, you're merely trading one grievance for another: "evil company marked my bug as duplicate to avoid paying" for "evil company claimed to have gotten duplicate report…

As a photographer, the comparison to "raw" results without color balance or noise removal seems somewhat deceptive. The effects visible in the video seem easy to quickly replicate …
