Yeah, I was too lazy to look it up because I knew it wasn't true. Thanks for the link confirming a 17% loss. When I went to school that was less than a fifth. What was it when you went to...

Would it be okay if the metrosexuals you sneer at perpetuated the same behaviours? IOW, it's the act, not the actor. It matters not who does it, or why, but THAT they do it. I guess that was a...

In terms of my other expenses, discretionary and non-discretionary, the ratio would be, over my working lifetime, about 1/10.  This would apply to several formats of 'camping', astronomy, ...

Before I forget, congratulations to our host for persevering in the last challenge. :-D  And to the second and third place finishers. HO Scale Class J 4-8-4 emerges for overnight duty from the ...

Very good point. Not only were the sensors and other supporting technology new, so were users, in general, to digital photography 10-15 years ago. That said, my small Powershot A710is took some ...

And, as is so often the case, it's the low-hanging fruit, or the lazy, way of making specious distinctions.  Not wanting to actually go to the expense of hoisting one's own carcass, one reduces ...

My guess would be campanula (bell flower), but there are many varieties.

It should not be necessary more than one or two times in the life of the scope...IF...you don't handle it roughly and store it respectfully.  If you drop it, the chances are good you'll have to do ...
