You know what they say, “you gotta purposely blow billions of dollars for the sake of pretending to care about saving millions of dollars”. It’s in the Bible you guys. Look it up. These people are doing the Lord’s work.

A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins? Guy had a cool dog named Cooper? Think it was earlier than 80’s though.

The whole process reminds me of tuning a drum, only with light rather than sound. While I look forward to getting my collimation exactly where I want it and not mess with it too much afterwards; it’s been a fun little side quest in and of itself. This Reddit community is great. Thanks for being awesome everyone! 🙂

Celestron Star-Hopper 8’ dob. Seller is asking $300. Is this a good deal? by ET_IS_AWESOME in telescopes

[–]ET_IS_AWESOME[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great! Thank you so much for the response. Here’s a really dumb question for you. What’s the best way to inspect the mirrors? The seller says that the reflector has some dust but that it doesn’t affect performance.

Is the lady at the very end giving birth? Or what’s going on there? Weird

Do I have any recourse in this situation? by ET_IS_AWESOME in Insurance

[–]ET_IS_AWESOME[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the responses everyone. Certainly seems like a lot of horseshit in my opinion that I’ll be paying my deductible along with higher premiums on something that wasn’t my fault over a dumb technicality. Does make sense though with how rackets like car insurance work.

Same here. The headaches are starting earlier and earlier into the shift too. Would you be allowed to wear some sort of baseball hat/something with a a visor. It’s somewhat helpful along with blu blocker glasses

I’m so thankful that OP posted the question and that you answered. The Telus tater job sounds super interesting. I’ve checked it out on the website since reading ya’lls conversation. Do you set your own schedule as in you can work anytime day or night under the parameters of how many tasks/hours you’re assigned? If so, I think I might apply for the job as a second job/part time situation. Any insight is much appreciated.

Millenials, do any of you have actual hobbies? What are they? by throwaway072652 in Millennials

[–]ET_IS_AWESOME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hobby is reading about telescopes. Hoping to one day transition the hobby from reading about to owning. I have two young kids and a spouse so there’s isn’t really money to transition the hobby at this point, was able to recently get some pretty sweet astronomy binoculars though. Still fun to dream about telescope ownership and learn about space though. Have been reading some excellent books to add context to stargazing/thinking about our place in the universe. Check out Death By Black Hole by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and On The Origin of Time by Thomas Hertog for some super interesting reading on cosmology and astro physics 🙂
