I've managed to ruin two high quality AIWA "walkmans" by trying to replace their caps. One is totally busted, and the other has problems with its muting circuit that I can't figure out.

I'm considering reverse-engineering its PCB and printing brand new ones, ordering fresh parts, and transplanting the ICs over.

Should be a lot of work, but they barely function anyway.

Unpopular opinion: fries are perfect as they are. They don't need hot sauce.

(Guess who didn't order the spicy fries but got them anyway)

@axiixc well yeah, it's some sort of powder. Dunno what it's called, not really into spicy food (clearly)

A day at the aquarium. Starting with some anemone.

a rocky wall covered in large white anemone with pink tipped tentacles
a pink anemone attached to what appears to be a large red bivalve, surrounded by other anemone, slugs, and a model trilobite
a rocky tank completely covered in tiny red anemone with white tentacles

Many tiny and colored fish. Shooting through double glass is always difficult, especially with bright colors. In the last one you can really see the diffractions caused by the glass.

SO. MANY. TINY. POISONOUS. FROGS!!!

An Anthony's poison arrow frog, which is a tiny bright tomato-red frog with white stripes running along its back. it is sitting on a rock, facing away from the camera
A tiny green-and-black poison dart frog, standing on its four legs on a large leaf, walking away from the camera
A Blue poison dart frog, which is a tiny blue frog with many black dots on its back. it is standing on its four legs, inspecting its surroundings

IT KEEPS GOING!

A pair of golden poison frogs sitting on a log, facing each other. the one nearer to the camera is sitting on its back legs with its torso facing directly up, like a dog
A kokoe poison frog, which is a tiny black frog with emerald stripes running along its sides and back, like an amphibian race car. it has its voice pouch inflated
A dyeing/cobalt poison frog, which is a tiny black frog with a lime-green band covering its whole back, sitting on a rock, facing away from the camera

Monk Parakeets occasionally escape from captivity and eventually start breeding activity when biology so instructs. In some places, escaped Monk Parakeets have found other escaped Monk Parakeets and have established stable local populations.

One such escapee has built a nest nearby (eastern NC), and it's been fun to watch it fly around and call and diligently work on its nest. Only one bird is present so all this work is certainly for naught.




A utility pole dominates the left half of the image. A gray cylindrical power transformer is attached to the pole. Various cables and wires enter the picture from different angles and meet near the transformer. Below the transformer is a large assemblage of sticks and branches that have been woven into a large nest. The nest has an entrance on its right side. A short distance from the entrance, a Monk Parakeet perches on a wire. The parakeet is carrying a long twig in its bill. The twig hangs down for quite a distance. The background of the image shows out-of-focus pine trees and a hazy sky.

@fitzbew248 @handmade_ghost such a good nest engineer too!

The only acceptable use of an @-channel on slack is to inform everyone that there's an emergency and that the building must be evacuated. That's it.

Bought a TC-14EII 1.4x teleconverter for my telephoto lens, and Nikon lists the AF-S 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens as compatible but with "AF not possible", which made no sense since it's a very fast lens.

So I connected it to my Z6ii and… it worked fine! Fast AF too! Hmm… Maybe a recent firmware update fixed it?

So I tried on my 2006 F75 film camera and… it also worked!!

What the hell Nikon…

This thing is now half a meter long when fully deployed. Absolute unit. Truly unhinged.

@midendian ah that might be it, I suppose? Their form seems to only distinguish between cameras able to focus at ƒ/8+ or not.

the things we do for birb photos

@arroz I shoot this thing handheld, or at least I did without the teleconverter. We'll see now with it, but I think the VR should be able to cope

brunoph,
@brunoph@breakpoint.cafe avatar

@midendian I think I figured it out! When you zoom all the way in with a macro lens, the f number quickly goes up. So at that focal distance, AF doesn't work as it goes above f/8 when the teleconverter is installed.
