I love twitter bc where else can I, an person with two graduate degrees from Harvard in both infectious disease epidemiology and biostatistics, be assured I am wrong about infectious disease epi and statistics by a software engineer who has “read multiple FDA package inserts”

Microblogging services like Xwitter were once great because they had the ultimate bullshit filter: limiting the amount of characters to 140

@salvagedcircuit The learning is: On used lenses, make sure the screw holding the contact block is genuine (it was not) and does not extend beyond the mount, not even 0.1mm

@salvagedcircuit loved your flex PCB repair article!

[pit @0xPIT]

@salvagedcircuit So, I had to resort to use pliers that you normally remove oil filters with to force the lens off.
Other than a few scratches, no damage on the body, yet I had to remove the mount and file it slightly to remove some burr.
The lens still works, but both plastic rings broke.

@salvagedcircuit Th als will try it, fairly stuck it seems

@MarcoReps In the video, you need to claim its a dumpster dive score :)

[pit @0xPIT]

However: Would you have any hint to remove a lens stuck to the body?

The screw holding the contacts must somehow stuck out, so while the lens was easy to fit, the screw now acts as a stopper, preventing rotation to the position to remove
:(

I‘ve replaced the flex in mine and it works :)

Auf verschiedenen Social-Media-Kanälen kursiert das Gerücht, dass im Einsatz gestern in #Neukölln ein 13-Jähriger ums Leben gekommen sei.
Das ist ein #Fake.
➡️#Faktencheck
Ja, unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen waren gestern in #Neukölln im Einsatz.
Ja, sie wurden u.a. mit Steinen, Pyro und brennbaren Flüssigkeiten angegriffen.
Ja, sie haben Tatverdächtige festgenommen.
Ja, bei den Festnahmen kam es zu Widerständen.
Ja, zum Brechen des Widerstandes mussten sie körperliche Gewalt anwenden.
Ja, dabei kam es auch zu Verletzungen bei Tatverdächtigen und Angreifern.
Niemand ist deshalb gestern verstorben.
Wir wissen, dass momentan viele Menschen emotionalisiert sind. Aber #FakeNews sind gefährlich - und führen im schlimmsten Fall zu Gewalt.
