Please no. I like my kidneys. The next lens up in quality is over $15,000.

If you want to save money, don’t get into bird photography as a hobby. Gear Acquisition Syndrome is fatal to your wallet. Image

Timbits. English Canadians have Timbits. Those aren’t just doughnut holes, they’re Tim Horton’s doughnut holes.

I’ve seen monthly AWS bills bigger than that, every time I look at the damn dashboard.
- Comment on Can I use a steel sponge as a soldering sponge? 2 weeks ago:
It will destroy the soldering iron tip’s plating. This will quickly result in it being unusable for soldering.
It’s not dangerous. It won’t emit any toxic fumes as long as it’s just a stainless steel scrubber & not one pre-impregnated with soap like a brillo pad. But since it’ll destroy the iron’s tip it’ll quickly be more expensive than brass wool.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 1 month ago:
My field (cryptography) is unlikely to run into this, despite having some advanced math. There’s just not that much use for anything in 2D, and abstract algebra doesn’t bother with things as mundane as “numbers”.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 2 months ago:
Some salts smell. Table salt (what’s pictured in the meme) doesn’t have a detectable smell in solid form, not enough vaporizes to notice. Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate, not sodium chloride like table salt, and they do smell strongly. “Salt” can refer to either table salt or to any ionic compound whatsoever. The latter is chemistry jargon, but then gets used in colloquial terms like “smelling salts” or “salty licorice” neither of which have table salt but both of which have other ionic compounds.
