What do you want to make of yourself? You cannot purchase making yourself

Open your mind

And you will see … but see what?

Google Pixel — fatal flaw;

Showing fat people in marketing material is unappealing.

New iPad Pro — showing third party accessories or things,,, very bad.

Makes more and more sense even in modern day times?

S9– dig it

1. Full frame — all superfluous things stripped. No unnecessary electric viewfinder — good idea.
2. I wish it had a flash, but perhaps it is a better trend to *NOT* have a flash, to reduce the size?
3. Ability to use with Leica M manual focusing rangefinder lenses … no more reason to purchase a Leica M digital rangefinder camera?

New pancake lens

New manual focusing f8, 26mm full frame S lens.,, super interesting.

1. As slim as possible ; good idea.
2. F8,,, not a big deal, because the camera is full frame, I’m sure you can always shoot it at ISO 1600-6400 no problems with noise.
3. Set it and forget it; f8 and be there —

Gender is not a binary, but sex is.

Donald Trump is pro bitcoin?

Donald Trump’s views on Bitcoin have evolved over time. Initially, he was highly critical of cryptocurrencies, labeling Bitcoin as a “scam” and emphasizing his preference for the US dollar. He expressed concerns about Bitcoin’s volatility and its potential to facilitate illegal activities oai_citation:1,‘I Can Live With It’: Former President Donald Trump Changes Tune on Bitcoin, Calls for Regulation – The Daily Hodl oai_citation:2,Will Donald Trump as the US President in 2024 Favor Bitcoin? By CoinEdition.

However, more recently, Trump has softened his stance. In 2024, he acknowledged that Bitcoin has “taken on a life of its own” and suggested that some regulation might be necessary due to its growing use and acceptance. Despite his preference for the dollar, he has indicated that he “can live with” Bitcoin and sees its growing importance oai_citation:3,‘I Can Live With It’: Former President Donald Trump Changes Tune on Bitcoin, Calls for Regulation – The Daily Hodl oai_citation:4,Donald Trump Comments on Bitcoin and NFTs, Says He Likely Wouldn’t ‘Take It Away’ if Elected President – The Daily Hodl.

Trump has also engaged with the crypto space through his actions, such as launching a series of NFTs in 2022 and accepting cryptocurrency payments for campaign merchandise, which reflects a more pragmatic approach towards digital assets oai_citation:5,Donald Trump Comments on Bitcoin and NFTs, Says He Likely Wouldn’t ‘Take It Away’ if Elected President – The Daily Hodl oai_citation:6,Trump’s Bitcoin U-Turn: From Skeptic to Regulatory Realist? | Cryptoglobe.

Overall, while Trump remains cautious and prefers traditional currency, his position on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has become more accommodating, recognizing their increasing role in the financial landscape.

Good idea

Make it last

Spice is a good metaphor

1. It is insanely simple, uncomplicated. Hard cap of 21 Million Coins,,, an insanely easy idea for anyone to grasp

It is too good?

First — it doesn’t last. Still my hesitation with Tesla, any electric cars—

It is like an iPhone on wheels

Can you imagine giving your kid an iPhone 3S a decade ago and still have it useful?

Even my 2017 maxed out MacBook Pro Touchbar laptop — it is practically unusable now , even though the design is great

iPad Pro M1 I’m using now .,, still pretty good, but had a trillion issues with some recent iOS updates

Also with cameras ,,, all destined to become obsolete sooner or later

Super simple

Uncomplicated is better —-

When you ain’t polarizing, you ain’t good —

LUMIX S9

Woot!

LUMIX S9 + a Leica M rangefinder lens adapter seems like a very good idea
