I’m a photo nerd. Uhhh… keys, flashlight, swiss army knife, phone, pocket camera (Ricoh GR III), wallet. If I go anywhere I usually pick up a bigger camera (Nikon Z fc, or if I get serious, the D780, with 50mm / 24-120mm / 70-300mm lenses). There’s also a whole lot of random mystery stuff in my bags. I don’t want to think about that stuff too much, I’ll just get a headache

By the way, speaking of changed colours of planets: if you haven’t been keeping up with the latest news in space imagery and want a real mindbender, check out what has recently happened to Neptune. You may have been thinking, ooooh, what an enthralling blue planet! - bzzzzzt, turns out it’s a pretty bland and boring gas giant, the colours were exaggerated on purpose because otherwise you can’t see shit.

Very often, I was like “I don’t think I need to watch this shuttle launch, they might have to scrub it” and then they’d actually launch and I was was like “damn, I should have watched that shuttle launch”.

So I was like “naaah, I don’t think I need to watch this launch, they might scrub it” and now it looks like they’ve launched and I was like “shit, I fell for that again, I’m really stupid”

To be perfectly honest I’ve sadly had little means to go around the town, bus tickets add up. But snow is melting, life is good, spring is coming.

Another fun reptile fact!

Tortoises are mostly herbivorous. However, many species of tortoises will not stop munching on leaves where snails are sitting. They are happy to eat snails for the protein. And also to demonstrate the snails that turtles are significantly faster!

(Also I wish I had one particular video at hand, of Galapagos tortoises eating pumpkins)
