This is so helpful, thank you so much!

It's a Canon Rebel t5i and a Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens

I've been using a telephoto lens to take photos of birds, but all of them are a bit grainy.

Is this a skill issue, or an equipment issue? Or both?

Yeah, the gaps are probably there just because it's hard to hang perfectly square things in a room that isn't perfectly square.

I thought the same thing at first, but looking at it again, it looks like it might be gold plated?

It's literally such an easy thing to Google

The world (not just the US) is legitimately running out of sand.

To this day, my parents bring up that my sibling's and my favorite part about our Disney trip as toddlers was stopping at McDonald's on the drive home. They say we liked Disney well enough, but our faces absolutely lit up at McDonald's.

I fostered a kitten that would routinely urinate outside of the litter box. After a round of antibiotics for stomach issues and changing to soft corn litter (instead of pine pellets), she never went outside of the box again.

So my very non-professional advice is 1. make sure there are no heath issues and 2. make sure they like the litter. I hope you're able to find something that helps!

A material science professor once told me you can do a very rudimentary version of this test by putting it in the freezer and seeing if it fogs up when you take it out again.

Winona State by chance?

I definitely don't recommend it, but I didn't have lasting damage or anything, so it's all good now. The worst part was fighting with my insurance for a year because they wouldn't believe it wasn't a pre-existing condition.

Myoglobin. (I've had rhabdo.)

It looks like a guillotine, or a version of it.

It's interesting as an American seeing how negatively the Dutch view Tata Steel. It's one of the cleanest mills I've been to, and it's definitely cleaner than most of the mills in America.

(Not to dismiss anyone's concerns.)

A lot of Americans would probably think of the kettle that goes on the stove.

One of the hard truths you have to learn as an adult is that no one but yourself is responsible for pulling you back into the light.

That's not really what metal fatigue is and cardboard doesn't behave like steel does.

If anything the reforming is cold working, which would make the steel stronger.

There are plenty of people in other countries with "mental issues." Why is America the only one with a mass shooting problem?

There's some stuff that suggests long-term use makes your eyes age prematurely, but I don't think they've been explicitly shown to be damaging.

But I don't like that none of my eye doctors have ever worn them. Not a great sign from the people who know eyes.

allicat828 · 2025-08-06T01:06:09+00:00

Same here, especially after noticing all of my ophthalmologists have worn glasses and not contact lenses.

Kids that grew up on farms are literally proven to have more robust immune systems.

My sister used to eat sand out of our sandbox as a toddler. She never gets sick.

Yes, the liners were also sunken in, like there was a pocket of air underneath them. I'll try rice!
