@TheBirdist I just started but coming home with 800 shots every time made me get some software for culling photos while importing. I reject all photos by default only keep one or two shots per burst

question for bird photographers: how do you keep all your photos? I have approximately 8839457487 images clogging up the data space on several devices - what's the best way to keep things? Thanks.

@CacheThatCheque They're still often cheaper than a convenience store, at worst the same price. And of course 25% the cost of buying the same thing at a convenience store in US/Europe

Vending machines in Japan will eventually be a thing of the past. I used to buy drinks from vending machines often when it was 120 yen or less, but now that it's 160 yen or more I only do it occasionally

@mkgroshi @oohmyoongi last time I got a uniqlo graphic tee it was on sale for 500 yen (3 dollars)

@nyaruchuuu damn I'm in japan right now and I've been looking for a solution to exactly this problem. still might just get a used hard suitcase so I can put some more fragile stuff in it though..

I tried the 3COINS ¥500 LL Travel Bag hack from HND → LAX and this is probably one of the best packing hacks I’ve done ✨
Highly recommend if you want to expand suitcase space for non-clothing items 👍

I’ve always felt like microphones were a MUCH bigger security risk than cameras tbh; you’d get a lot more out of being able to listen in on people talking about possibly classified stuff than just Watching (I guess you can lip read but not everyone is going to be in view at all times either?)
but then you like… can’t… make calls… so the only way to really secure those if you’re paranoid would be with a hardware killswitch and I don’t think these have that

Today I learned that Apple actually makes special iPhone for government personnel that do not have any cameras. For some reason Netanyahu seems to be using a normal iPhone with tape over the cameras, though. I wonder if he fears spying from the US with specialized hardware.

@writerofscratch @kendrictonn Yeah it took me a couple of months to realize that for the largest stations I should sadly just always exit through the same couple of exits and then find my way from there, saves time comparatively
English
@kendrictonn One time it took me 30 minutes of navigating underground to find the correct, ultra-niche exit that Google Maps told me to leave through.

Shinjuku Station is as close as I've ever gotten to a RL roguelike. Or at least I presume this place is made up of a bunch of components that reconfigure themselves randomly ever time I start a new run

@justalexoki Every time I see this it reminds me of how all the tools to mount cloud storage as a file system that I've tried have just been more or less broken

@JackMatthynssen @EoinKeane101 One-way flights are often the same price as or more expensive than round trip tickets
English
@EoinKeane101 It’d cost about half that normally. Not unusual to get a return flight for less than 800.
English
is that not how much a flight from Dubai would normally cost

@anthonieisacnt @gnukeith In theory yeah, but I'm pretty sensitive to my machines being slow and would have upgraded a couple of years ago if not for all my stuff running perfectly. I'm all for people getting the right hardware for them but I would like to see some real world performance comparisons

@rbfrncs There's a 1M Passenger Pigeon checklist on eBird from 1881! ebird.org/checklist/S329…

...yet somehow it's only about 0.1% of the size of a flock of passenger pigeons, which could have as many as 2 billion birds
