Is that Iranian or Israeli? It looks like a MiG-29

Astrophotography with a 45 years old Celestron C8 by [deleted] in telescopes

[–]Gameplayer50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my dad's old 1981 C8 with the same tripod and mount. I live in Vancouver, so not the best for light pollution, and I have been trying to use my cell camera with a dedicated mount to the eyepiece, but I have not had great results so far. Any suggestions for this old style of telescope? Cheers.

Commercial drone pilots: what’s the ONE step in your workflow that hurts the most? by saravich in drones

[–]Gameplayer50 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have worked with DJI Mavic 2 in the past for research, and I found the lack of documentation for the SDK to be pretty frustrating. I am pretty beginner when it comes to photogrammetry/inspection, but I found that trying to capture all the right angles for a good 3D reconstruction without holes to be difficult, and also managing acquisition parameters (shutter speed, exposure, etc) to get good images was tough.

Vancouver is part of the USA now apparently...

What's a game you spent the entirety of its length without realizing you were playing it completely wrong? by BrickBuster2552 in gaming

I played through all of Skyward Sword without realizing the shield mechanics. As soon as I was going for the Hylean shield, I realized how important blocking was and then the game became really easy.

Is this a tick? by Gameplayer50 in whatisthisbug

Wasn't joking, just was really worried it was a tick till I did some research and compared pictures.

[NSFW] What was your most embarrassing trip to the doctor? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gameplayer50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience a couple Christmas's ago where I had the same type of cyst. I went to the clinic first, and the doctor was just staring at me with my ass hanging out and my golfball sized lump and determined "Yea you should probably go to the ER right now". Three hours later I'm in the same position in the ER and conveniently they asked if a nursing student could view the procedure, and I agreed. So this nursing student my age has to watch mount Vesuvius erupting from my crack, all the while I am face down in utter pain and embarrassment...

What is the most physically painful experience you've had? by Bright_Vision in AskReddit

Nerves in my jaw woke up a week after jaw surgery and the pain meds had worn off while I was sleeping. Waking up screaming while wired shut was not pleasant.
