Most of the hunters I know sit in a tree stand and chug Busch lights. So it’s basically a sniper nest. And they wear camo because… reasons?
To better break up the contour of the the arm when they lift the beer can.
Brilliant. They even make camo Busch light cans. Guess they thought of everything!
There is also no shortage of people willing to sell you something you think works.
Golfers buy expensive clubs, gamers buy expensive hardware, hunters buy expensive clothes. None of it is guaranteed make you more successful, but I'll sell you this golf ball polish that is guaranteed to make your slice go 10m further off into the rough for only $5.99
Gold plated, vacuum sealed $50 HDMI cables.
My friend paid $100 (roughly $150 today) for one of these cables around 2008/2009 when HDTVs were fairly new. $50 would be a bargain comparatively.
Was it a Monster cable?
I'm fairly certain it was but can't recall for sure. The guy at Best Buy or Circuit City really did the hard sales pitch to convince him that it was worth the money and he'd definitely notice the difference. I recall making fun of him for it and his rebuttal was that it also came with a warranty so he could swap it out at some future date (since, you know, it's so common for HDMI cables to wear out from all the data traveling through them).
Just look up how much an active thunderbolt usbc cable costs.
About $60. They put the transceivers on either end of the cable. Only necessary if you require 40 Gbps at distances over 2.5' or .8m. Not necessary for most applications, including 8k streaming.
A gen5 NVME can read at about 15 Gbps, which will not saturate the thunderbolt at 20Gbps unless you have a raid array. At 40Gbps, you would need three sticks. You will ALSO need that much hardware on the other end to sustain the transfer.
Most ones here will either spot a deer while doing their farm runs and then go and hike around the area trying to track it down. Shooting deer from a helicopter or dugout is extremely looked down on. (shooting ducks from a bivy is fine tho).
