@variablepulserate There’s a bloke on the other side of the city who’s selling an identical Olympus camera on eBay for A$70. Resisting temptation!
My Olympus also came with a genuine copy of Photoshop Elements 1 included.
@variablepulserate I have a couple of 10 MP shirt pocket sized cameras, one a Canon, the other a Ricoh. Plus a couple of iPads, two iPhones (one newish, the other old) and iPod Touch, Motorola G75 Android phone, a MiniDV video camera and a Nikon D5100 DSLR. I don’t really need another camera. The dead one has sentimental value, though. It was the first really capable digital camera I ever bought. Oh, there’s also a Pentax MZ-50 SLR that an insurance company bought to replace a stolen Pentax K1000 SLR.
That's annoying.I've just killed an old digitalcamera by spilling coffee over a dressing table in the bedroom, it then flowed into the drawer containing the camera.It's all sticky to the touch and the power button doesn't respond - I've checked the batteries and they're fine.
The camera is a 2003 Olympus C-750 UZ 4.0MP camera with 4X digital zoom and 10X optical zoom. When last used about 6 months ago it took great photos.
I have decided: rolled lamb loin roast in the air fryer. Took the lamb out of the fridge and left it covered for 30 minutes to come up to room temperature. Sprinkled the fat cap liberally with sumac, and preheated the air fryer at 200ºC for 5 minutes. Placed the cook and crisp plate in the bottom of the 6-litre pot and set it to 200ºC for 15 minutes on the Bake/Roast setting. The next stage is 25 minutes at 180ºC for 25 minutes to finish the cooking.
I have to keep my protein intake up, I'm undecided about tonight's dinner. Will I have some pork steaks or a lamb loin mini roast? Decisions, decisions.
@variablepulserate Where did you get the 50MP figure from? This 4k webcam has a 1/2” sensor.
Saved 80 cents! The Ozempic I collected today cost me $6.90, not the expected $7.70. I’ll try not to spend it all at once…
@variablepulserate That is really interesting. I’m not into video work and have no use for an action camera but I do like other Insta360 products. I rely on a now-superseded Insta360 Link 4k webcam for videoconferencing.
I'll be starting a new treatment for my diabetes on the weekend. It's handy to have access to Australia's government Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme because instead of A$140 to $200 for a 3ml injector pen, diabetes patients pay A$31.60 for the same thing, unless, like myself, they have a pension or other concession card. In which case, the price becomes A$7.70.
The injector pen is kept refrigerated and you need to specify a particular weekday to inject it, then stick to that day each week. I'll be choosing Sunday morning. If nothing else, it gives me a reason to get out of bed!
@sumudu I have an 11-in-1 Ninja Foodi OP300 that works well. this is the older two-lid design, when steaming, yogurt making or pressure cooking you need to lift the standard lid up out of the way and fit the pressure lid. Newer versions call the Smart ones have a single lid with a manual selector for the pressure, etc functions. I have used mine for grilling (aka broiling), roast/bake, sear/saute, Air Crisping, steaming, slow cooking and plan to use the dehydrate and yogurt functions sometime.
It also comes with a comprehensive cookbook with recipes and various charts.
One such recipe is for roasted chicken from frozen. It uses the pressure cooker to cook the frozen bird and the air fry/crisp setting to get the skin golden and crisp.
