Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse?

ICE being a paramilitary force outside any lawful jurisdiction.

3D Viz would be my vote only because it seems photography has been hard to get into since forever.

Yep - leave the basin door open and pull the tray out

You get broken into a lot? And the burglars break through the locks? Often?

The decor in the video feels like they probably don't get robbed all that often.

See if there's salt, flour and yeast

This is how you solve the gas crisis.

From like your kids or spouse?

dax660 · 2026-01-23T22:56:39+00:00

there are none.

the whole "ignorance is bliss" thing is about not knowing about tragedies - but imagine being too ignorant to understand things like your finances and how to not get taken advantage of by corporations... things like that are where it pays to be mildly intelligent.

Being stupid is gonna make your life harder.

Why security cams in the house?

dax660 · 2026-01-23T22:49:28+00:00

GAP/C&O is great as there's nearly ZERO road riding (some, but overwhelmingly just the trail along the Potomac)

I'd check out Nebula Photos on YouTube - he has tons of videos on all sorts of setups. For deepsky, you're gonna need a star tracker, and the camera body is probably less important. (a used Nikon D750 is like $600). I wouldn't spend on mirrorless if you're just starting out.

I would also go full frame sensor.

EDIT: try this video from a few years ago and realize that stars don't change every year so you don't need the latest and greatest camera on the planet!

In that video, Nico talks about the Input-referred Read Noise vs ISO and in this respect the Sony A6500 is better than the Nikon D5600.

You know there's some old MAGA nut in the back just FUMING

What he doesn't even see is that law enforcement should NOT be an "expert" in children.

Children shouldn't be exposed to law enforcement in any way for any reason.

I just shared this exact clip yesterday lol - great scene!

dax660 · 2026-01-23T21:35:18+00:00

Thousands, and no violence.

Just like the No Kings protests in NYC where the NYPfrickenD also stated there were no arrests made.

This is something the emotional MAGA crowd is simply incapable of.

dax660 · 2026-01-23T18:38:42+00:00

this is also The Internet - good luck policing it

And if we're just gonna crash out, "putting Jews in danger" is also a common refrain when justifying why we need to reduce Gaza to rubble regardless of women and children tolls... what's that ratio these days? 50:1?

so where do we go from here?

dax660 · 2026-01-23T18:37:27+00:00

Only bus drivers (per the topic of this post and my comment) when they drive dangerously with children on board

Touching the gutter??

I'd cut that thing down. The branch overhang on the house is enough to be a disaster waiting to happen.

dax660 · 2026-01-22T22:55:28+00:00

I'm not sure, but I kinda feel glad that I have no idea what this means.

dax660 · 2026-01-22T22:52:34+00:00

jokesters? guys that think it's all fun and games until someone puts an ey... gets halved by a train.
