Theremin<p>A quick <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> question: When using a lens mount adapter, is the depth of field scale on the lens still accurate?</p><p>That is, will the lens focus according to the depth of field scale shown on it, even if it's behind an adapter, or will the adapter change the focus and make the scale inaccurate?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/askMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/askFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askFedi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/askFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askFediverse</span></a></p>

AJ Sadauskas<p>Something I'm curious about: How familiar are you with the states or provinces in other countries?<br><br>Most non-Americans could at the very least name many of the states in the USA.<br><br>But what about other countries? How many people know some or all of the states or provinces in countries other than their own?<br><br>For example, could you name the provinces or states of Canada? Mexico? Australia? Russia? Germany? France? Brazil?<br><br>And conversely, the stereotype of Americans is that they don't have a deep awareness of the world beyond their borders.<br><br>But is that really true? Or do many Americans have a better knowledge of other countries, including states and provinces, than the rest of the world realises?<br><br>(Before you at me, yes I know not all Americans. But just search American geography quiz if you don't believe it's a stereotype!)<br><br>Also, in many of my posts, I refer to Australian states. I presume that most of the people reading them overseas understand that when I mention Victoria, or New South Wales, for eg., I'm talking about Australian states. Just want to check that's the case?<br><br>So, if you're reading this, I'm keen to learn:<br><br>1) Which country are you from?<br><br>2) Which countries, other than your own, could you name all or most of the states or provinces in without looking at a map?<br><br>3) Which countries, other than your own, could you name at least some of the states or provinces without looking at a map?<br><br><a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/askfediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFediverse</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/geography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geography</span></a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a></p>

Ra Kai<p>A serious question for all shaving geeks out there.</p><p>I have a mohawk haircut with shaved head from both sides. I want to buy an electric shaver for easier shaving process (was using 1mm hair clippers till now). The main problem is that I want to do the shaving myself. I have visited several barbers for the job, but was disappointed and lost my trust in them to do the shaving in straight and precise lines. How difficult can it be?? I found later they managed to shave into my precious mohawk! Doh.</p><p>Anyway, is there an electric shaver that can shave ONLY the short hairs, but not long ones? That I can just press my mohawk with one hand to the side and shave the short hairs and do not worry that long hair is shaved too?</p><p>Also, rotary shaver vs straight foil shaver? </p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askfedi</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/shavingtips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shavingtips</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/mohawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mohawk</span></a></p>
