Vegas Pro is ruining my life at the moment. Unbelievable bit of kit once you also get certain plug ins for it (for free, considering the total cost of the plug ins I wanted were over $10,000). So many options, effects, tampering equipment.


I remember saying years ago i wish i could go back and really work on a career of video editing. It's always been something I can sit for hours on end doing, and not feel bored or uninterested even once.

Crazy shit. Actual GTA style ploughing down a promenade ramming everyone in sight.

It's getting to the stage where people should just stay at home. Forever. Do the shop on Tesco Online.

If you're not haunted by the thought of being in a car accident you should not be afraid of being killed by a terrorist because you're basically more likely to win the lottery. I would not change how I lived at all and I certainly would not stay couped up inside all the time for safety purposes. Terrorists don't win just by killing people, they win by causing people to change how they live out of fear.

French security is pretty bad though. we have had more people killed in the past 2 years here in terrorist attacks than in certain middle east states considered unstable.

I'm kinda amazed some nutter hasn't thought of that before. Stealing a truck is probably a million times easier than obtaining an illegal firearm or making a bomb (though he apparently did have a gun, too), and they make someone almost unstoppable if their mind is set on something insane like this. 84 deaths is a LOT more than nutters usually manage when they go on a rampage with a gun or a bomb too.

funnily enough this is the 3rd time it has happened in the past 2 years in France.

Really!? By trucks? Were they not as bad, 'cos I can't really remember those, plus trying to use Google is useless since it just brings up this most recent incident...

Not by trucks but it's the third vehicle ramming kind of terrorist attack we've had. Although the first 2 were before the charlie hebdo attacks so the government tried to say they were simply done by individuals who were mentally unstable (despite them yelling allahu akbar while running people over). It kinda took the French state a while to admit that it had an Islamist problem...

And yeah they weren't really that disastrous either, there was one death between them.

Nobody has taken responsibility for this one yet, so it makes me think he was a lone nutter too. Usually they're quite proud of what they've done and admit it immediately...

You can put the responsibility on ISIS by default I guess since they're the ones who made the call for lone wolf attacks across the western world since they're a lot harder to stop than organised terrorist attacks.
