Reply to comment by ollowain86 in TIL Generally, hobbyists or casual photographers can expect their digital cameras to last five years, as determined by the shutter count or number of digital images a camera can take before the shutter stops working by Ok_Copy5217
No, because its the mechanical actuation of the shutter that matters - in a timed exposure its still only opening and closing once.

No idea, thankfully 50kg of cocaine doesn't take up as much space as you'd think!

Reply to comment by afcturn_ in Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scottish first minister by icumglass
She is first minister because Scotland isn't a full sovereign country, it's local matters are "devolved" from the national government in Westminster. She is (was?) the highest seat in the devolved government though.
