At that point just... buy a camera? Phones are good for quick and convenient point and shoot, but if you're carrying a big lens around just carry a camera instead.

Heard them all go off at 6:45pm yesterday and had a moment of concern when I realized it was Thursday before looking it up.
I think it's okay; as far as companies go they're pretty good, and they actually care about privacy which is nice.
New infinite money glitch unlocked!
Given the technology to create and store antimatter in quantities exceeding a handful of atoms doesn't exist, it's a bit ridiculous to extrapolate a price per gram for it.
Was wondering why Anon was so unhappy about brownies at first lol.
Yeah honestly that's fair.
Frickin' Big Brother these days, you can never get away from him.
By the time I need to upgrade it'll probably be more cost effective for me to drive the few hours to Canada and buy PC hardware there. Wouldn't mind a trip to a more sane country honestly.
Some rough calculations:
5 leagues ≈ 15 mi ≈ 24.1 km. An average human has hair that's maybe 20 cm wide. Using the small angle approximation we get an angular size of 0.2/24100 ≈ 8.3x10^-6 radians.
At 400 nm wavelength, resolving details of that angular size requires an aperture of 1.22(400 nm / 8.3x10^-6) ≈ 5.88 cm.
So either Legolas has some absolutely massive eyes, has the ability to use both his eyes for optical interferometry (I'm voting for this since it's the coolest), or is just plain magic.
