Sorry for the confusion, I should have quoted the full paragraph from the article, and more clearly specified that I was referring to Israels banning of fuel deliveries.
The statements come as President Joe Biden called for a humanitarian pause in Gaza and U.N. officials warned that aid agencies, water treatment plants and bakeries there may soon run out of fuel. Israel, which has allowed a limited number of trucks carrying food, water and medicine into the enclave, continues to ban deliveries of fuel, which it says Hamas will use for military purposes.
U.N. officials warned that aid groups, water treatment plants and bakeries in the enclave are running dangerously low on fuel.
Cutting off your enemy’s fuel and supply lines is a legitimate tactic that is used in just about every conflict. The UN is a terrorist supporting joke.
I’d gladly pay the extra fuel costs to have a vehicle that’s worth a damn and has actual towing, hauling, and off road capabilities.
A body on frame SUV (like a Ford Excursion) is quite possibly the most utilitarian and swiss army knife like vehicles available. It seats a huge amount of people, has as much space as a cargo van, has the same tow rating as a 3/4 ton truck, and its 4WD with big tires and lots of ground clearance.
They are all interlaced, you just won’t ever see it unless you have a really really old DVD player that isn’t progressive scan or rip the files directly.
I do this quite frequently for a certain youtube channel, you’ll want MakeMKV, Hybrid, and Topaz. If you really want to go all out and make a huge project out of it you can upscale each scene individually and stitch them back together in Premier, ain’t nobody got time for that though.
Rip the disc with MakeMKV.
Then open and deinterlace the file with hybrid, I use the QTGMC filter, if you’re doing film content you should use ivtc. Do any other filtering or denoising in Hybrid, the video really needs to be clean before upscaling. Then export it in a lossless file format with passthrough audio.
Load that file into Topaz and upscale it with the Proteus AI model, I use the manual setting (40,20,10,1,3,-2) with 25% original detail recovery and the grain filter on a low setting to help restore what the filtering removed. Your settings will need to be adjusted for each project. Export again in the highest quality that you can, then load that file into your favorite encoder and compress it down to whatever size/bitrate you want. Topaz’s encoder doesn’t have any configuration options so I use Hybrid to do the final encode.
Watch a franchise with great source material get absolutely massacred by incompetent showrunners to the point that you can’t even bear to watch it anymore.
