@JennyList my hands fit sony dslrs too well to swap. even their slt ones didn't "fit" for me.
plus I don't shoot video yet :)
@JennyList I got my first dslr new, looong ago, wore it out, and have been wearing out used ones since then
@JennyList ditto, but where dodgy old cameras = just-post-shitty-camera level DSLR here

@mikegalsworthy preference doesn't even begin to cover it. I simply won't have anything from a). It's foul.
@mikegalsworthy you take that back right now.
it is *not* chocolate at all.
at best, "chocolate" / chocolate-substitute / reformed wax

So if it's a trade choice between:
a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and
b) European food, beer & wine...
...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

My dog is infinitely optimistic that TODAY will be the day that I just inexplicably hand over my entire hamburger.

just thinking of the tech etymology "thing that we do" plus the following rules depending when it was launched:
early 00s: prefix i- or e- (ebay, iphone)
late 00s: suffix -r (flickr, warblr)
10s: suffix -ly or -ify (bit.ly spotify)
20s web games: suffix -le (wordle, countle)
this gets fun, because you can take an existing tech product and move it to a different era by changing its name construction

Imagine there’s a button that when pressed would immediately change your body from what you have now, to that of a goose. You can only press the button once. When pressed everyone will have known you in this new form the whole time, so there’s no social impact at all.
Would you press that button?
If so you may be transgander 🪿

MV Explorer.
Set off on a "Spirit of Shackleton" cruise 11/11/2007. Re-enacted the spirit of Shackleton in a manner not advertised in the brochure when crew and passengers were forced into small boats whilst their ship succumbed to the ice.
