I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense.

According to my camera's focus assist, this is perfectly focused (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Went out on a rare clear night to a wetlands near me to take some photos of the stars. As it was so dark, and the stars are so small, I had to rely on the focus peaking function of my camera to tell if the stars were in focus or not....

They currently don't have any plans to hook up to public transit, though there's a commuter train station 3 miles away. It takes 20min to bike between them or 40min currently to take a bus.
