I do use it, probably one shoot or so a month. out of every 100 pictures I probably have one great one and 10 others that would be good with editing but I never go back and edit them. A phone is probably better for most people most of the time but there are definitely cases where it wont do the job.

I initially bought it when I worked over night shifts and wanted a night time hobby on the weekends, so I wanted to do deep space photography. I finally got on days soon after and am not up as late anymore so mostly take it on hikes, or birding and rarely around the city.

I rarely talk about it unless I show a picture that people ask “how’d you take that?” and I have to explain. I’ve bought a few lenses in 5 years but think I’m set on those. Maybe in another 5 years I’ll upgrade the body. For me it’s been a worthwhile investment.

It must strain a lot of brain cells parroting ol musky.

Multiple backup computers. In fact I’m a bit peeved my oldest backup computer broke.

Yes dedicated cameras are still around. They aren’t going away anytime soon. I really like my Fuji camera.

Canon makes great optics and decent hardware but is pretty bad at everything else.

Luna likes to play in boxes. She was raised by cats after all.

38 and have my stuffed dog and wolf in bed with me. My real dog is jealous, but she’s in the bed too.

I use hpux everyday. Mostly it still runs what it needs to run and the hardware for the most part is a tank so you don’t have to think about it.

When it breaks it’s the most infuriating thing in the world. All the hardware is bespoke and obsolete, old unix is maddening coming from modern Linux, it’s a nightmare but kind of fun at the same time. My only hope that HP will open source it at the end of the year.

No, not right now but its still not the worst place to live. The administration is doing their best to make it the worst place though.

Just start playing and keep playing. I’ve been playing 25 years and have only picked up basic music theory but still have a blast.

Maryland early 2000s. We had a real health teacher. It was pretty clinical and factual for the most part. The only thing that really stood out was the teacher telling us that peeing killed any sperm left in the urethra and a kid asking if he could “piss in his woman and not wear a condom.” This poor old teacher has to say “Do not piss in your woman.”

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

USA. 3 weeks vacation max out at 4, 1 week sick time, 1 week “personal time”. 10 holidays but we are running 24/7 so if you are scheduled to work you get time and a half those days plus 8 hours of extra pay. You get paid out any sick/personal time you don’t use but vacation days no longer roll over. I liked saving up 2 years of vacation and fucking off for two months.

Damn op started the thread out with a bang. Soda, and sloth would be mine.

It’s like a poorly written distopian scifi novel… but it’s real.

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, Community, How I met your mother, Psych, Classic Trek (TNG,DS9,VOY,ENT), Firefly, Bones.

Mostly just as background noise when doing stuff. Doesn’t absorb me like a podcast or audio book might since it’s old information and doesn’t amp me up like music does.

I took down all the lan ports in our cube area connecting a raspberry pi to the network. I left network as static as I set it up and installed it into equipment where it won’t touch the network but the machine can talk to it, but then realized I needed some extra software. So I brought it out to my desk where I had set it up while it was set to dynamic and it caused the whole switch it was connected to to shut down. No one really seemed bothered when I went to get it fixed. Concerningly not bothered in fact.

But like that’s really hard.

You’re welcome rest of the world. Now be nice to those of us who have to suffer another 4 years.

what about CPU and motherboard models?

I thought so too but I looked at about a dozen 3.5inch HDDs and they all use 3 or 4 wire ffcs with much thicker traces.

I’m sure 2.5 inch hdds can use thinner traces for their motors but I can’t see why they would need more than 4.
