False dichotomy?
Carrying a camera makes me look.

The people she is describing are vacuous, not worthy of regard.
If I walk a scenic path carrying a camera, it makes me more attentive
If I walk a scenic path without a camera, there's often regret.
I do my best to have a reasonable camera with me. My little Linux has a optical lens range of 24 to 720mm and weighs about 1Lb. It's good in most cases. As you say it's the regret of the missed opportunity that bugs me.

Sure--it's ready to give us bold innovations. Like using glue on your pizza.

Last post by Icarus - May 24, 2024, 04:29:57 AMNPR radio today had research microbiologist guest speakers. They were studying our plastic problem. The plastic bags that we use to transport our groceries from the market to our homes is mostly polyethylene. Those little bags are ubiquitous because many merchants, such as restaurants, hardware stores,florists, etc use the bags as a convenience to the customer.
What becomes of those bags. Voila! They are convenient for discharging ordinary kitchen litter. Toss in the trash collector bins and they end up in the local landfill. There they disintegrate over time.
Here is the kicker.............It has been established that there are microparticles of that stuff finding its way into human bodies. That is old news, but where does this particular microplastic concentrate within the human body. The testicles. Yep, testicles ! So far, that has not been shown to have an unwelcome influence on our sex lives.......
