How is everything now?

This can be a bit more complicated for example HCl is toxic in a short term NaCl is maybe in a long term Antimony is in some solders and it can react in the real world so it depends. Afaik AOT is not toxic. I think you can not solve directly the powder in alcohol you have to make a colloide with very little particles. So I thought that solution may be available. I am only curious I do not need this in the minute and I do not want your "secrets" I asked about kitchen tuning because @Kung's highly pro achievements what I admire are definitely not available for me.

Character lens train. The LLL 50mm f/1.5 Z21 (Angenieux S21 recreation) arrived this afternoon. Only time for a few nearby shots (mostly at f/1.8) due to work, but might be fun. -
Antimony compounds are no joke. Highly toxic.

One of the guys on the UK Vintage Radio forum posted: "A little story. In my teens I was a big Black Sabbath fan. I'd heard that Ozzy lived at Ranton, a village near Stafford not too far from where I live. Me and a mate got on our bikes and rode over there. In a field a guy who looked like Ozzy was riding around on a monkey bike that was popular at the time. It was Ozzy's brother and he asked if we wanted to meet Ozzy. Of course we did. So we went in and for half an hour I chatted to him as he lay on a settee plucking aimlessly at a guitar. I kinda interviewed him. After a while his wife (first wife not Sharon) came into the room and said, "We have to go to Billy's now". Obviously Bill Ward, the drummer in Black Sabbath. Ozzy sent us on our way with signed stickers. A day to remember."

Kevin warned me about that stuff as it is toxic if I remember correctly. I have a rule of thumb, if Kevin says something is nasty stuff then I keep well clear.

Bought a Macbook Air, being the only Mac without fans, so ideal for my fourier analysis. I should at this point say again, as the original one, already on my desk, has been shall we say appropriated? Yeah. And just because of that, this time i went for the 32GB RAM, 1TB disk version. Now for the 6 weeks wait. I did say again, did i not. Since i'm paying for everything 'round here, why shouldn't i be back on my slow ass backup Windows laptop you're probably thinking? Quite so! Saw a t-shirt with "Bank of Dad" printed on the front once, too young to get it back then

Didn't get a chance to listen to anything yesterday, and over half a century of music is too much to take in, so I'll just listen to this one. In a way it covers it all. vinyl

My weakness I do not know these code words: ATO, AE07. I learned chemistry in a few decades ago if not in English. .... I googled some Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether and antimony doped tin-oxid. Where can you get these for kitchen tuning?
-
Try an ATO alcohol solution with a concentration below 10% and add 1-2% volume of AEO7. This is the conductive coating I use now. It can make a transparent coating with a stable surface resistance of 10^8Ω

Bill Cosby can go fuck himself, but that is a sad way to go for MJW. RIP

RIP Malcolm Jamal-Warner, whose death is totally overshadowed by Ozzy's (RIP), but his drowning took him out relatively young at the age of 54. https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/bill-cosby-mourns-late-star-malcolm-jamal-warner/story?id=123940226

I used to have a friend from .ca who lived outside of the Toronto area. His parents owned a BMW dealership, so I called him "The Torontonian Trustafarian." TT for short. He endured a good decade of "TT" jokes. If we were still friends, he'd be extra annoyed with me today as all three TTArtisan lenses I bought during prime day arrived. I made it a point to use all three. I favored the 75mm F/1.5 the most, to the surprise of no one. The 100mm F/2.8 Bubble Bokeh is odd and I need to use it more. The 11mm F/2.8 Fisheye is neat, but I have no idea what I'm doing with a fisheye lens. 75mm, wide open. This wood pile is my new favorite subject. 100mm wide open, I think. The aperture ring is in an odd spot on all of the TTArtisan lenses and was not used to adjusting them. My neighbors across the street are and old Vineyard family. Mr. Norton died earlier this year at 93. His family do a top not keeping up the farm. They replaced half a dozen rails in their fence (which are expensive AF.) I think I mentioned I have no blinkered idea what I'm doing with a fisheye. -
...and Patient Number 9 by Ozzy Osbourne (2022) https://album.link/hm7bxmvpdbdjz Example: His final release as my final listen for the day. Thanks Ozzman for sharing your art and pain with us. The Ozzman goeth. 🤘

Listened to Vol 4 and Sabotage earlier, on to my favourite album of (early) Ozzy era: ...which has 5 of my favourite tracks by them (Back Street Kids, You Won't Change Me, Gypsy, All Moving Parts (Stand Still), and Dirty Women).

... and Ordinary Man by Ozzy Osbourne (2020) https://album.link/nz94tsmmhqxd0 Example: Amazing trick that his voice is like a switch, 70yo+ at this point and his voice is right there the entire time, and of course he gets the players to show up.

I saw Sabbath back in '72 or '73 in Newcastle City Hall. Even in those early days Ozzie seemed hell bent on frying his brain with any substance going. It was loud! I'm astonished he lasted so long. He was in fact only 7 years older than I am now, RIP Ozzie!

The Cardigans also did a cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" on their first album from '94. My college roommate loved that band and had all of their albums (which was ~3 at that point.)
