Thanks for the comprehensive answer :) I knew most of the stuff regarding shutters, apertures, iso and such (but it’s never bad to spread knowledge) but I didn’t understand what kind of combination of all of them made you dislike it. To me it looked “normal” so I didn’t react to it. Now I gets it :)

What does “don’t expose for video with the shutter” actually mean? Genuine question that I’m not sure I know why I’m asking at 2:30AM when my eyes are just barely managing to stay open. Actually, I need sleep. Go to sleep you idiot. Go. Now.

So it’s an expensive, loud as fuck, potentially dangerous (don’t tell me this thing crashing into some little girl’s hair is going to end well) selfie stick that only works for 15 minutes? Buy a broom stick and you can do that silly selfie thing all day. Unless, of course, you’re in one of those places that have…

Having one of the [insert name of gawker site] guys and gals wander into the gray zone, notice your comment and like it enough to start following you, I think.

Don’t be silly. This system is great, 90% of all interaction is hidden from view. It’s not like anyone cares what you or I say anyways.

Isn’t there plenty of that to find in old ice?

You want to know what else is 20 today? Jennifer Aniston. That woman does not age.

So pop out the player and don’t deal with chat? I don’t see the problem. (also, the chat is IRC based so you can connect to it with your favorite IRC client)

Yup, looks pretty accurate to me. Maybe a little bit brighter for me. I saw faint traces of the Milky Way as well.

Yeah, I know he didn’t put it together by buying a bunch of individual kits :) I just meant that considering what those cost, it must’ve cost a furtune to buy all those pieces. Even if it’s cheaper to make a large custom order.

Bloody hell, and I thought those tiny little kits in the store were expensive. I don’t even want to think about how much this cost to put together.

As someone who has never seen one of those in real life, how the hell do you even eat it? Do you lick it until it becomes a sticky gooey mess that you throw away or what?

Yeah, someone else pointed it out to me already hehe. I read a bit too fast.

Fair point. I read the post a bit hastily.

You could make it for a lower price but it would still be pretty expensive I think. Laser cut acrylics, lots of PCBs, rotary encoders, board to board connectors and wires, LEDs, nuts and bolts, the twisty things you grab etc etc. It all adds up.

I’m confused. Are these people scared that they wont find a “girl” toy or a “boy” toy (quiet you, the joke has already been made) without clear signage? I don’t know about you but I’m fairly confident I could pick out a car for a boy and a doll for a girl without much help, if any.

I was out for one night as well. Saw about 20-30 during the hour or two I was out. Not a single one ended up on “film”. Quite annoying. For next year I think I’m going to have to buy a fish eye lens to capture a larger chunk of the sky.

Aren’t you supposed to put the tank in the sharks mouth and shoot it?

Yeah, I’d rather die than risk dislocating my shoulder. Wait... what?

Absolutely love that movie as well. For those that haven’t seen it, and plan to, I would advice against watching that vid as it contains some pretty severe spoilers.
