I am no longer a fan of my huge 17pro max and want to go back to my 12 mini. When I charge it the phone takes the charge and still vibrates like it’s on but the screen is blank. It still vibrates when I touch the screen too so I recon it’s the screen probably?

Just wondering if it’s worth it to replace, how much it might be, and would I be okay taking it to a third party store for repair or should I bring to Apple? Not sure if it matters much in terms of quality screen replacement or what.

Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

After I skin the rattlesnake and scrape off the rest of the fleshy slime stuff, should I 1)soak it in bleach and salt water or 2) use black tea or 3)use vegetable glycerin with denatured alcohol? Or a combination of two of them? I already have everything except vegetable glycerin.

I was leaning more towards soaking in some bleach and salt water for a few hours, spraying it down, scraping it down one final time to get 100% of the meat off and then soaking in concentrated black tea for however long.

I’ve only ever skinned a roadkill rabbit and then salt cured the hide so this will be a new experience.

I found this snake in the middle of the road after a rain storm. I saw it otw to get chipotle so on my way back when it was still there I pulled over and grabbed my gloves and grocery bag. Thankfully the head was the only part that was run over because I was nervous about it still being alive somehow.

It’s currently in my trunk because my mom would flip out. I was going to stick it in the freezer for the night when she goes to bed and thaw tomorrow for skinning and tanning.

What would you do?

I have an idea to make videos of the small trickling waterfalls by my house and curious if I should record the sound on my iPhone or straight in my Sony a7iii. I have a Rode video micro 2 compact shotgun mic and was wondering if it would be worth my time to buy an adapter for my phone so I can get the mic closer to the sound source or would the adapter for the phone give me worse quality audio as it does when I listen to music?

I know this might be a silly question to some but I’m starting from level 1 and would really appreciate some insight on if my set up would be worth the effort of going in the forest with all this gear to get some hour long+ video and audio with what I have and the best way to utilize this or would I just be wasting my time with the audio? Thank you so very much!! 🙏
