    The Astronomy Thread

    Things have really changed over the years. First pics I took with a telescope were an 8" reflector telescope on a mount with a drive, but not guiding or go to. On top of it was an 80 achromat long refractor with an illuminated eyepieces. Used that to eyepiece and scope to guide. Camera was an...

    I'm working on respecing Gale now so I'll see how it goes. It's probably well known but I stumble around and rarely look up stuff. The chair in act 2 that you sit to remove the tadpole then breaksdown gives you a -2 constitution buff that is permanent. I just realised it. Putting in a tadpole...

    If you want a reality check watch a video of those speed runs on youtube of someone finishing an honor mode run in less than 30 minutes with 2 companions. Jump jump jump is what 90% of it looked like.

    Yeah it was, I didn't need the loot. I was just racking up some exp and the Dark Amathyst. It's an easy and quick kill but the camera inside is not the best.

    Act 1 seemed longer if you went through the underdark and also went through the mountain pass and did all that. If went and did just one it was a lot shorter. Act 2 was a short walk through the shadowlands and then just mostly all in the towers. The gauntlet was the biggest time sink in act 2 to...

    I left high school and got a GED. I went to a directional state school the next semester.

    I keep seeing that airlines make a large part of their income now from credit card tie ins and often referred to as credit card companies now instead of airlines. Now that credit cards are laying off I would be concerned that's going to impact the airlines as well.

    Giant boom and then the power was out. Then it flipped on and off a number of times. I heard the whole house generator crank up and the power stayed on so the genereator shut down.

    28 and still raining. Glad I'm not going anywhere in the morning. By daylight I'll probably can tell how bad it's going to be by how loud and how many limbs off trees coming down. From radar it's sleeting all the way to the gulf coast down below Lake Charles.
