I’m a birder. Lots of birds were named after people…Scott’s Oriole for example. You may think a guy named Scott discovered the bird, but nope, just a friend of the guy that did. Scott wasn’t a good guy according to history (re: killing native Americans), so there’s a big committee that’s going to rename a ton of birds that have eponymous names. The birding community is very split on the topic and it’s interesting to see the drama.
Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.
I only interned there, but the handful of times I thawed the chips, there were no issues.
You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.
My Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope with Ollin magnetic adapter. I go birding, and take bird videos with this combo. Super easy to digiscope with (no more fidgeting with the adapter) and the magnification on the scope is pretty powerful. Shameless plug for my Instagram @thecronicbirder
I believe many folks were using the other features that go beyond streaming… E g. Setting up alarms, streaming music from their locally hosted servers, etc. I believe all that went away with the new app. I never noticed any issues personally, since I just steam/cast.
