    Astronomy: Stars, Comets, etc.

    Good stuff. I have never really considered getting a good telescope. But I have been definitely been considering it more recently. High on the list for sure

    Astronomy: Stars, Comets, etc.

    ISO was like 1600. And then I used an auto setting on my camera (Nikon CoolPix P950) that is shutter priority. It adjusted the aperture based on the zoom and ended up being like 1.4-2.8. Then I set a timer to avoid shake. The camera then took like a 15-20 second exposure. Maybe a bit longer...

    Astronomy: Stars, Comets, etc.

    It never really hit me how much is out there until I took the photos myself. I mean I've seen the photos of others but it just never really struck a chord. There is also something about being out there in the still dark. The only sound being the faint rustle of the wind or a distant coyote call.

    Astronomy: Stars, Comets, etc.

    Didn't know if we had a thread on this and couldn't find one. The other night, I was able to get out and get some ok photos of the comet Lemmon. It was at it's closest to earth on 10/21 and is now moving further away, but actually getting brighter. It will reach peak brightness on 10/31, then...

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    We just had benefit meetings with my company. I cant remember what % it increased by, but it did go up. We were told that 3 employees have super specific medications that total over $1 million a year alone. And that was a big driving factor in our increase but they were able to negotiate it down...

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    Nope. Indiana. It's actually my hometown. In the neighborhood I grew up in just down the street from where my mom still lives. I had at least one class with Evan (the dad) in high school. I am 99% certain his wife is from there too. He has a good YouTube channel. And likely other socials.

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    I live in Twin Falls. The hate for all things California is so thick in the air you can cut it with a knife. Even if something has literally nothing to do with California, they will blame it on people from California. I work with people who aren't even native to Idaho. They moved from other...

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    A friend sent me something about that. Living in Idaho, I am totally sure everyone will be fine with it (those who are even aware). They don't want people from other states moving here. Another country, a Muslim one at that, building a base will be just fine. Especially since trump says so. If...

    I think it was meant to be CHL since they are now eligible to come to NCAA.

    NHL 2024: SLC Puck

    Pens sign Flower to a PTO contract so he can suit up for an exhibition game against Columbus on Sept 27. One final game as a Penguin. Probably going to be some of the best selling exhibition tickets ever.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes: Eat Cereal for Dinner

    I haven't eaten at one in probably over 20 years. It was only on family vacation and only for breakfast. I avoid chain places at all costs now. Small, regional type chains that have like 5 locations in a state or something are ok sometimes. I believe the trout they have on the dinner menu at...

    The thread for birds and birding

    Been a while since I have shared a bird. Going with the Red-napped Sapsucker. Found in the US in the Rocky mountains mostly during the breeding season but year-round in some areas and wintering grounds in Southern California over to the Texas Panhandle (and south into Mexico). They are found...
