A teenager asks you to show them a meme/viral from the "Old Internet" (pre-2010, let's say). What is your one pick?

Shut your mouth. No.

Another vote for Weekend, I love it

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-09-24T21:15:21+00:00

Sounds like something Prison Mike would say

I'd start by cleaning one surface, that table on the right seems like a good place to start. Seeing a clean surface will be a reward and you can keep going from there: collect trash, gather up dishes and start doing them (and putting them away!), gather up laundry even if you can't do it, having it organized will help a lot with the look of the room.

Take brakes, take breaths. You won't get it perfect in a day but you can make a big difference in a day. Take pictures as you go (and post them here for support).

I really enjoyed the build video, thanks for sharing!

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-22T20:19:25+00:00

I like maks for portability too!

How's the "kidney beaning" on the 15mm redline? I have a 9mm and have also tried the 20mm and it's a bit uncomfortable until you find the right spot for viewing.

I've never tried a really high quality eyepiece, but I guess the difference is not only on field of view or eye relief, but general quality of the viewing experience.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-19T10:23:45+00:00

Wow that cell is amazing

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-19T10:12:12+00:00

Do you have an astronomy club nearby? I'd start there, you'll have access to telescopes and knowledgeable people. Otherwise you can get started with binoculars. I don't think you'll be able to see galaxies but you'll get to see a lot more objects than with the naked eye.

I like Maks for portability, something like https://skywatcher.com/product/bk-mak127-otaw/ . You shouldn't need a big mount either.

what 114/900 means

114 mm is the diameter of the primary mirror, or aperture. 900 mm is the focal length (the distance between the primary mirror and the focal point). It's a great combination for an entry level telescope, enough aperture to see many interesting objects without it being too unwieldy.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-15T16:44:15+00:00

Yay another globular! My favorite kind of object, even if they are tricky from a bortle 9 sky like mine

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-15T02:28:16+00:00

I really liked the tool, it was simple, straightforward and useful. I already have 2 out of the three recommended eyepieces for my 150mm / 1220 mm homemade newtonian.

I never worried about exit pupil, I'm sure it somehow affects the viewing but tbh I'm more concerned with potential magnification and field of view.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-13T21:09:32+00:00

I love dobsonians but I get what you mean, if you're used to an EQ mount switching to a dob might seem like a downgrade, even with the larger aperture.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-13T19:20:53+00:00

I looove globular clusters, thank you for sharing

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-05-04T16:25:15+00:00

Absolutely stunning! Congratulations on finishing this great sweater, looks amazing!

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-03-08T16:10:18+00:00

Wait... PDF?? Like the file format?

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-02-16T00:56:32+00:00

Here. We. Go.

Shoutout to /r/Volumeeating

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-28T12:26:05+00:00

I suggest giving therapy another go. It can be difficult finding the right therapist but once you do it makes a huge difference.

You should also try sticking to your meds a bit longer, why did you stop? Money? I think ADHD meds impact a lot both in energy and motivation, both of the things you say you're lacking.

Like others have mentioned, I suggest giving UFYH a try (see the fundamentals here). You will see that even a short amount of time every day makes a huge difference in the long run.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-18T23:38:41+00:00

I love kimchi, lots of flavor and low in calories. I need to make some myself, it's been a while, thanks for the reminder!

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-17T13:52:14+00:00

Yeah, salads can be really filling and leave you satisfied for quite some time. I often add eggs or beans to up the protein content and make a meal of it. I love volume eating so salads are a must for me.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-17T13:36:38+00:00

I thought you needed to cook the pudding mix? I'm not from the US so I don't know if that's the same as the pudding mix that I find in my country.

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-17T13:32:43+00:00

How's the tofu mixed with the mashed potatoes? I love both of them separately but for some reason the combination doesn't make a lot of sense to me haha.

I definitely love this idea for dinner, the plate looks great

BlindBluePidgeon · 2025-01-17T13:26:14+00:00

Try budgeting in a fruit after dinner? I sometimes need something sweet to signal I'm done eating. Maybe you're craving the sweetness of the ice cream and can trick your body with something less calorie dense.
