Okay, this one is funny, because astronomers don't do that.Last edited by halfeye; 2024-02-21 at 07:42 PM.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

You can ask the mods for permission to revive an old thread.
I like to see new versions of threads link to the old ones. Here are the ones I can find:
My Perpetually-Unfinished Homebrew: Tier-3 Class Suite, Homestuck Races for Pathfinder, Homestuck Races for 5e, Psionic Class Redux

Besides, why not use the fireman's pole that is set between Moon and Earth in the first place?

Anyone else excited for the eclipse? I am really, really hoping for clear weather.

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
The forecast is really bothering me, but we're going regardless. Got no other choice, and the forecast might clear, and we also might get lucky even if the day is cloudy. Plus I hear you still get a cool moment even if you can't see the sun.
I so, so deeply regret missing the 2017 eclipse. Come hell or high water, I'm gonna be there for this one.

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
I've seen five total solar eclipses, including flying out to Nebraska to see the 2017 one, so I'm not so sad that I have to miss this one. A deep partial eclipse is pretty impressive in itself, but totality is amazing. It looks like a hole in the sky, as if there should be Lovecraftian creatures coming through.

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
Anyone else thinks that this year's April's fool is the best one ever? Somehow this simple minigame really tickled my fancy, and the "competitive" nature of getting permanently on the board made me constantly one-up myself, both, creatively and mechanically. Was really happy when my best machine - yet - actually made it.

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
Had the staggeringly good fortune to have the clouds break in time for a good clear view at the totality. Staggeringly beautiful

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
The recent Types of Eclipse Photo panel fits with my past experience, except that I never had the fancy lens, nor opportunities to photograph from orbit. And he missed the "photograph from a rolling ship and too long an exposure without stabilization" that I have a number of.

Re: xkcd the umpteenth (previous thread timed out?)
I'm finding it really frustrating, because I spend ages making something that'll reliably feed different color streams across each other and route them to the correct outputs even if I'm getting polluted inputs — or at least trap the wrong ones — and then the next time I look at its grid section, it's been replaced by something that doesn't work.
Play your character, not your alignment.
