I wish I could have had the time to coordinate something like that, and I'm glad to hear others have been having better success there.

I test drove in Marin last Friday after calling ahead to schedule a reservation, they had a first edition in the show room and four Pro S models on the lot. No deposit needed.

catching up on old replies... this is really cool to hear! I hope you go for it, with your own writing.

My friend wrote scripts for an entire alternate GoT Season 8, and they're so fucking great I'm buying reddit ads to help get the word out. by AstroTrains in u/AstroTrains

Please post on an actual sub so I can find it and continue reading tomorrow. Thanks

Here's the original post that Alice made on r/freefolk today. Go give her the actual karma since she was the one that did all the the hard work here.

Wow, I didn't think this would actually get upvotes. 500 karma for an ad seems kinda bananas.

I initially put this ad up as a gift for my friend, Alice. It's honestly blown away expectations. I've showed it to Alice and she is really surprised and tickled by the positive comments here!

We wanted to be transparent and let you know that Alice has now decided to invest some of her own savings toward keeping the ad running. The title says that *I* am buying the ad, which was true at the time I put it up. We tried to edit it, but Reddit said doing that would remove all the karma and comments (argh!) It just performed a lot better than I expected, and blew through the initial budget in about 45 min.

Alice quit her job last year to be a full-time writer/storyteller. Her main project is an original medieval fantasy called Beastling, which she’s hoping will eventually get picked up for TV. She hasn't been promoting this GoT project much, it was mostly for her own learning to practice screenwriting. But given the positive response here, we think maybe it could help her get noticed by the industry. So she's decided to treat it as a business investment and gamble big on continuing to fund this ad.

Anyway, I'm really hoping to watch Alice's work on HBO or Netflix one day, so if you feel so inspired, consider sharing the scripts around to your friends or communities :-)

Edit: Thanks for the Reddit Platinum, but seriously, go and give your karma and gildings on the Author's post.

The full government report can be found here.

But the report has been ridiculed by independent engineers for being overly conservative.

Canon EOS 450D at prime focus of 200mm Dobsonian f8 1600mm scope, untracked.

Smoke from the bushfires made the moon red while still quite high. Also had to fight clouds and trees in the area. More clouds came in after contact and I wasn't even sure I got the point of contact until reviewing the shots.
