This is actually a thing called Digiscoping. Search Digiscoping adapters on Amazon and you can attach your cellphone to binoculars. I actually do this as a hobby, that is, doing wildlife photography on a cellphone, which usually requires a telephoto lens. Not to hijack the post but you can see the results on my IG page at theCronicBirder. I have some reels that show the zoom effect. I use a spotting scope instead of binoculars to get a farther reach.

Came here to say this!

I believe many folks were using the other features that go beyond streaming... E g. Setting up alarms, streaming music from their locally hosted servers, etc. I believe all that went away with the new app. I never noticed any issues personally, since I just steam/cast.

Wtf, I've never heard of this bug in my entire life, and just last week I took a picture of one. Google Lens comes up with Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, and I didn't think it would ever run into this tidbit of info ever again.

I'm a birder. Lots of birds were named after people...Scott's Oriole for example. You may think a guy named Scott discovered the bird, but nope, just a friend of the guy that did. Scott wasn't a good guy according to history (re: killing native Americans), so there's a big committee that's going to rename a ton of birds that have eponymous names. The birding community is very split on the topic and it's interesting to see the drama.

Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.

I only interned there, but the handful of times I thawed the chips, there were no issues.

You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.

Extinguishers wouldn't do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that's probably never going to be installed. You'd have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.

The bird makes a call that sounds like the word "dee", over and over. Just as someone who runs is a runner, a bird that's dees, is a dee-r, so it's not deer in the sense of the animal the way you may think. At least that's what I've been told. The "kill" part is a bit strange, but I'm assuming it comes from the fact that this bird will feign a broken wing to distract a predator away from their nest. All in all, I'm really not sure on the origin of the name, but that's what I've learned in my last 3 years of actively being a part of the birding community.

My Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope with Ollin magnetic adapter. I go birding, and take bird videos with this combo. Super easy to digiscope with (no more fidgeting with the adapter) and the magnification on the scope is pretty powerful. Shameless plug for my Instagram @thecronicbirder

Do you mind providing a link? Or could I just easily find something on Amazon? Thanks.

Odama. Navigate your troops through a battlefield set in feudal Japan, but throw in pinball machine mechanics. Also, yell commands at your troops with the included microphone. For N64.
