So can I call myself a scientist now? I’ve spent years searching for the perfect icecream
Solar incognita?
A decent camera, and yeah. I’ve had a fairly good camera for a while, but getting one that takes the photos I see has been a game changer - previously I always felt they needed editing, and I never really had the inclination to learn that very well. Now they mostly look like what I want straight out of camera, so I’m printing them more often, and enjoying the whole process a lot more
It might just be a marker of middle age setting in, but I’ve been loving this avenue of proper old-school thrash on here recently. The early Metallica albums had a profound effect on my formative mind, and the fast riffs in this very much push that button
It’s only a matter of time before our communications are disrupted be the shadow fleet of Panamanian-flagged Russian canal boats dragging anchor up the Kennet and Avon
Yeah, I drive an old Ford Ranger/Mazda bt50, and I parked next to one of the new ones the other day. The thing is massive, took up the whole parking space it was in so cars next to it couldn’t open their doors, and had the bed way up in the air so loading it would be a pain in the ass. Same size bed but less carrying weight because it’s so big, same tow capacity, very similar size inside, just pointlessly massive outside. All the aggressive styling makes you look like you’ve got a micropenis to compensate for, and it’s much less useful for its intended purpose.
I live in the middle of nowhere, so a pickup is pretty essential, but anyone who owns one of these in a town needs a crew-cab van realistically, pickups are hopeless in urban areas
Great thumbnail
That’s the weight of 9 whole bald eagles
Capturing Estonian tankers in the gulf of Finland is a fair indication that they’re heading in this direction
Ah, from the place we shall not mention. I wish u/Astagaspacio had a Flickr or Pixelfed account in their bio, they take some great photos

A Fuji X-T5, with 16mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4, and 90mm f2 lenses. I’m sure there are technically better cameras and lenses out there, but it’s fun to use, and takes magic pictures without any real need to edit them. I’ve got a small photo printer, so it works very much like a film camera in the process - shoot, print, look at a physical photo, almost no screen involved
