Clearly not an Australian, I’ve heard that said on the radio in the afternoon

I’ve never had any problem with Mullvad reconnecting after I’ve run out and paid up again, that has worked seamlessly on mine

My hygienist recommended that I use salt water instead of mouthwash, so I’d think you’re probably barking up the right tree

I have the Flint, I think I paid about $80 for an open box one, it’s easy for a pleb like me to set up. Running Mullvad on it is definitely quicker than on my devices

Oh, nice marmot

The Bierpinsel in Berlin has been painted in a few different ways, and looked great in all of them. Do an image search for it, you’ll see what I mean

It’s a fantastic camera, being micro four-thirds it’s pretty small, so it’s great for unobtrusive street stuff, and it’s completely competent enough to work for any other style I’ve tried with it. Also, being a smaller sensor, good lenses are really cheap, and I can carry a whole bunch of them in a small bag without it weighing a stupid amount.

I’d relied on my phone for ages too. It was actually a feature of the newer iOS that convinced me to get it - my phone picks out landscape photos without people from its camera roll, and alternates them as my background/lock screen. It reminded me that I’m actually quite good at the composition side of photography, while making me more aware of the phone’s limitations. While always having a camera in my pocket is handy, I’d forgotten how much I enjoy the tactile part of an actual camera, and since I’ve had the GX9, it’s pushed me to go places and do things just because I have the thing with me.

Ah, it ain’t that old unfortunately! It’s ok, but nothing special. I do a lot of metalwork, so it makes sense to have a dirty one and a clean one. The dirty one has channels in the table for coolant too, so that’s definitely staying in the metalwork shop, and if I can find a small a small radial arm drill then I’ll build a nice big table for that with a proper fence for that.

A decent camera. Specifically a LUMIX GX9, it’s about the best compromise between portability, versatility, price and quality that I could find, and it’s really become a part of my daily life.

A new, cleaner drill press is high on my list. I have an old greasy one, but a decent one for woodworking is becoming necessary
