    Headline News Thread II: Meanwhile...

    He flies one of the 747s. He does go through Anchorage quite a bit. Or did. I think he is in the process of retiring so it seems like he has been flying a little less but I remember when he would post about making laps of the Pacific (Lots of trips into Hong Kong but also Dubai and sometimes...

    Headline News Thread II: Meanwhile...

    I have a cousin who flies for UPS out of Louisville. He thankfully was not in the area and was at home on the other side of the Ohio River at the time. Looks like it may have crashed into some buildings to the south of the airport. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more casualties beyond the...

    Astronomy: Stars, Comets, etc.

    My camera was just under $1000 back in 2020 so that price on a telescope is really not bad. My digital camera looks fancy but it is a pretty simple point and click type thing. Sure, you can make some adjustments and still get some good shots, but you are limited on what you can manipulate and...

    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.
