I have been a little checked out of uspol for a while. I still am but stuff gets through the filters despite my best efforts.
And listen, if you are all in on everything, and you know everything about everything, and you are prescient, and you have a PHD in political science then this post is not for you... I'm not gonna say anything new. Move on, I don't need or care about "I knew that!", replies.
Anyways...

Trying to revisit in my mind all the accusations I half remember from pizzagate. Becuase every accusation is also a confession with these people, right?
And mind you, I'm not saying that anyone named in the files is innocent, just because they were used to misdirect and misinform before the content of the files became known.
But it seems to me these people have no creativity. So, of course, their mouth can only speak about what's hidden in their heart.
Also, also... Something I find...

DEEPLY interesting is that the FBI really WAS investigating these people and knew about a lot of this stuff.
And I realize now... That all the small "micro"-aggressions against the FBI that have been happening for years now... Are also part of the same/parallel misinfo/misdirection campaigns.
And it seems to me even a seemingly innocuous thing like putting someone totally unqualified as head of FBI is all part serves to undermine it. (Not saying that FBI is "good" either.)

And so it seems to me, "they" ---you know, rich people--- have been building a massive wall of misinfo and deniability and I wonder if Trump isn't the president not just to make the rich richer but to see to it these people do not face justice and don't get held accountable for their actions.
It feels childish to make a case for a conspiracy this crude, but then again these people aren't really the pinnacle of sophistication.
And next I'm gonna go into unpopular opinion for sure...

Disposable Camera Viewfinder Becomes 3D Printed Lens
Disposable cameras are a fun way to get into classical photography. However, they can also be a valuable source of interesting parts that can be put to other uses. For example, as [Billt] demonstrates, their viewfinders can be repurposed into a rather interesting lens for more serious cameras.
[Billt] was lucky enough to score a grabbag of used disposable cameras from a local film lab, and tore them down for parts. He was particularly interested in the viewfinders, since Kodak equipped its disposable cameras with actual plastic lenses for this very purpose.
[Billt] wanted to see what these lenses would do when thrown on the front of a proper digital camera, and set about designing a mount for that purpose. The 3D printed part was designed to mount one of the viewfinder lens assemblies on the front of any Sony E-mount camera. In a rather nifty trick, [Billt] realized the lens assembly could be installed in the adapter by pausing mid-way through the 3D print to drop it in. The only unfortunate thing? The lenses didn’t really work, and all the camera could see was a haze of unfocused light.
With the aid of some cardboard experiments, [Billt] decided to make some changes. The front element of the viewfinder was dumped, with the rear element being used solo instead. This was fitted to the adapter on a simple slide mechanism so that focus could be reliably adjusted. With these changes, the lens came good, and provided some really interesting shots. It’s quite a cropped lens and it can achieve a very close focus distance, as little as 1 inch in testing. It’s quite sharp in the center of the image, while softly blurring out towards the edges—something that sounds very familiar if you’ve used one of these disposable cameras in the wild.
Sometimes it’s fun to grab a random piece of junk to see if you can turn it into something good. Video after the break.

@Remittancegirl btw, around here there are a number of cold cuts that *are* traditionally eaten at Christmas
as an appetizer, but nobody needs to know that detail :D

@fucinafibonacci @spettacoli mi ricordo che mi piacque molto. Spero che oggi sia come quando la lessi da ragazzo (leggevo pure urania)
