@NfNitLoop I get too many false positives, too. I was trying it with Windows the last few days and gave up, which is what led to the poll question. :)

Captured with a full-frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.

This is mostly a study of lines, particularly the handrail (which provides an anchor for the eye to follow), but also the curved railing at the bottom of the stairs at left. I was attracted to the austere, utilitarian design, yet the curved pipe railing by the tracks has an elegant, art deco look to it.

The top of the stairs was a difficult place to work. A tripod was essential for framing, but people were moving around behind me.

@chipotle I don't hate tap-to-click, but it just results in too many false positives for me.

I'm using the Apple "Magic Trackpad", though, so "actual click" is only simulated. But at least I get some feedback that I made a click happen, vs WTFing about something weird happening on my screen.

Today in 1775:

Two days after the Battles of Lexington and Concord (and well before news of those events reached Virginia), Lord Dunmore ordered the removal of the gunpowder from the magazine in Williamsburg, Virginia, to a Royal Navy ship.

This action sparked local unrest, and Patrick Henry led a small militia force toward Williamsburg. Dunmore, fearing for his personal safety, retreated to a naval vessel, ending royal control of the colony.

‘Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was mistakenly included, the newly revealed one was created by Mr. Hegseth. It included his wife and about a dozen other people from his personal and professional inner circle in January, before his confirmation as defense secretary, and was named “Defense | Team Huddle,” the people familiar with the chat said. He used his private phone, rather than his government one, to access the Signal chat.’

Biological reality: What genetics has taught us about race ~ Adam Rutherford, BBC

"[Human Genome Project] provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct."
