RIP.

Glad it was just a cheapo red tiger. Just had a revelation I never grabbed it when I packed up.

Fuck….

early? sit on the tarmac and stare at open gates.

windy or stormy? lets push back and sit on the tarmac.

i have never, in 30 years of flying sat on the tarmac in any airport longer than 15 minutes and not moved with exception of atlanta and delta. ive been innbaglogged taxis yes but you move.

you can be early, staring at empty gates for 30 minutes on christmas day because fuck it.

I live in an area impacted by Helene. Most i know in both my area and Jacksonville still dont have service.

93% restored is an absolutely made up number. At best thats including customers that never lost service. Anyone that lost service still hasnt had it restored.

Monday i saw a truck finally on my street. First one since the storm came. Guy left the line in more of a mess than he got there and its still not fixed. Its a clean break on the pole about 12” from the tap. Just needs to be restrung and spliced. A single tech could do it in an hour based on past experience.

Its not even worth calling. Ill get some person in the Philippines that wi say they will fix it tomorrow and hang up

Have a zhumell z114 as a first scope. It came with a 10 and 17mm lenses.

With that the moon looks awesome I can see terrain textures and mountains which is really cool. I can see Jupiter and the Galilean moons as points of light.

Biggest question is being able to see a bit more detail on planets. Maybe just colors on mars or Jupiter or the rings of Saturn.

Was thinking something like this setup might get me there. Or maybe the 2x Barlow. I may need to collimate the mirror too…

I’m a rank amateur here. Also don’t have a great tripod or mount (currently it’s the one it came with and a cooler to rest it on.

I created the following shortcut and added it to my share panel that allows you to open Reddit links in ReddPlanet

Some notes/bugs worth mentioning on the “Clipboard Monitor” option that you have to turn on in ReddPlanet settings.

These occur with the shortcut but also without (or if you copy a Reddit link in a browser to clipboard and manually open ReddPlanet). So this is kind of a bug report for u/lupeski as well

1. You have to be on a subreddit page or your home/popular/all page in ReddPlanet before opening. If you are on a thread page (aka a post) with comments. The clipboard monitor won’t trigger asking you to open the link.

I set this as a reply, but it may be better as a post. It took a single hint for it to "click" for me, and its a hint the Tutorial totally fails to mention. But this fella does

Assumptions:

• you can set a target in map mode

• you know how to use AN/DN to get your orbit on the same plane

• you can then use prograde/retro to get an intercept <5km.

From there I was always lost.

Here’s the hint. The entire point once you set the intercept is to get the prograde marker and the target marker on top of each other and keep them there. (They will generally align as you approach each other)

Noticed when updating my ESXI hosts that upsc was not working.

getting the following Error: Connection failure: Connection refused

Checking Control Panel>Hardware& Power>UPS

All looks okay. But when going to SSH i noticed the file

/usr/syno/etc/ups/upsd.users

was blank.

I had to temporarily disable the Network UPS server hit apply

Then re-enable it and re-add my ESXI hosts' IP's and hit Apply. This regenerated the file correctly.

All is now well. May want to check yours and make sure its working. You can do that if you have the Nut Client installed on ESXi and cd to

cd /opt/nut/bin

Then run

./upsc ups@ip-address

When/if i unmute the sound, and then for any reason have to mute the sound again the video cannot be unmuted again unless I completely back out of the post, (and since it plays automatically when scrolling , the subreddit as well)
