I’m not trying to troll, I’m genuinely curious. Thinking about deer specifically, it doesn’t seem like visual camouflage would really help much when hunting them. Deer sense predators by sensitive hearing (big ears) and smell (long snout). Their eyes are on the sides of their head, so they detect motion rather than high-resolution.

So trying to blend in with the surroundings doesn’t seem to be an advantage in this case. Assuming all this, what’s the point of clothing with camo print on it?

        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

            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.

              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.
