Two people I knew took their own lives last week - we still view mental health with too much cynicism and not enough compassion - remember a 😬 - it is not weak to share how you feel #mentalhealth #depression #suicideawareness
@robinince big internet hugs
@ozzelot I started on A100, used up a few (shutter buttons wear out, who'd have guessed) and now on my second A700 (shutters wear out on those before the buttons - an improvement I guess)
@ozzelot it's the minolta-designed 500mm AF mirror lens. in the right conditions it is amazing. in the wrong conditions it's merely a mirror lens...
(massive seperation between subject and *anything* else in shot, otherwise you get the doughnut effect, especially on lights)
@gsuberland how the shuddering fork did you manage that?
stabbity-time or an unfinished edge?
@ozzelot bring it over to the UK and borrow my lenses :D
got a wide range from 500mm to 4x macro in a-mount goodness :D

Vimto gets its name from "vim tonic" — it was an early kind of energy drink before it was a cordial, so what you get now is kind of a non-energy-drink version of an energy drink.
They've now released a Vimto energy drink, so you can get the energy drink version of the non-energy drink version of the energy drink.
The range also includes a zero-calorie version of the Vimto energy drink, which is an energy-free version of the energy drink version of the non-energy drink version of the energy drink.
I find it's better with sugar.

Right. It's Jenny Needs A New Side Gig time. Previous one ended cos they drank the AI Kool-Aid, thus documenting software as a profession has fallen to slop.
So what can I do? Chances of finding another website to write for are slim, any likely candidates would tread on Hackaday's toes.
Annoyingly I have lots of skills such as electronics stuff that don't show on my CV, because of my odd career.
It's all very difficult.

@NatGrayYes something to do with specific hayfever meds in my case - does something to increase risk of sudden heartattacks apparently. no idea what the ingredient or interaction was, but grapefruit and grapefruit juice called out specifically

@foone I tried https://marginalia-search.com/ recently and it's different. The result aren't as good as pre-Prabhakar google search but they are truly refreshing
