…good call, that camry gets infinite FPS at infinite resolution and dynamic range; enjoy!..

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…

(this is a huge red flag:)

…that’s pretty much my improvisational style, everything eyeballed, nothing measured: sometimes things turn out amazing but of course the cost of those happy surprises is that i’ll never make it the same way again; couldn’t if i tried…

…i dated a girl who dogmatically followed published recipes, considered any deviations anathema to the authors’ labor developing them, and she was horrified to watch me cook…

…let me introduce you to single cask-strength malts: one drop, drawn delicately through your lips, let diffuse across your palate by capillary action, that’s how i learned to appreciate alcohol for the first time after four decades of not getting it…

…the great thing about cask-strength sipping whiskies is that one bottle can last years if kept properly sealed between pours…

…multi-whole-grain sourdough and way more dairy than i should be eating…

…last week i learned that the cafeteria food i grew up with was scratch-made; the reason it tasted the same everywhere wasn’t because they all bought prepared foods from the same distributors, but because they all used the same USDA-provided recipes…

…hey, willem dafoe is an accomplished thespian; show some respect…

…my experience before ‘high-efficiency incandescent’ halogens was the same: i have thirty-year-old proper halogen lamps either still going strong or which have been replaced only once over that period…these little A19 halogens, though, have an such absurdly-short duty cycle that they’re viable only by virtue of stocking up dozens of cases for pennies on the dollar when they were phased out a couple of years ago…

…i do hope that we have respectable consumer bulbs available in perhaps five years after those few hundred halogen bulbs are gone, but i’m not optimistic as poor spectra appear inherent to LED technology and the market seems to have settled on ‘good-enough’…proper incandescent bulbs are of course still available for specialty applications, but they’re not easy to get…

…the contractor-grade FEIT incandescents installed when we built our house enjoyed a MTBF of about five years; the FEIT halogens (‘high-efficiency incandescent’) i stocked up to replace them after traditional incandescents phased out are on the order of six months MTBF…

…while i question whether the manufacturing and distribution of ten fourty-watt halogen bulbs really emits less carbon than one sixty-watt incandescent running for the same duration, at least the spectra are unchanged: i’ve yet to find any LEDs which offer acceptable black-body spectra and i specify the things professionally…
