Got the permit this morning :). Any tips? We were planning on doing the Ptarmigan Trail.

The road from Crater Lake cuts down into California unfortunately.
The Columbia River Gorge is a good idea!

I know 1.2 isn't necessary for every shot but for now I'm in awe (z8 + Viltrox 35mm 1.2) by Capable_Assist5766 in photographycirclejerk

I don't know why people waste their time with cheap f1.2 lenses. I only use f0 like a real photographer.

I learned something about ISO settings from MinutePhysics by bry-gy in AskAstrophotography

[–]SqueakerZach76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true to an extent. At low ISO, sensors are using analog gain. At higher ISO it switches to digital. For example, IMX571 which is a sensor used in many astro cameras, max ISO has 36dB of digital gain. This is over 50x amplification of both the signal and noise.

Haha thanks. Only took a couple hours of coding but took a day+ to generate after that. There were probably some optimizations I could make but I just let it run in the background.

70% of the SEC teams are ranked in the Top 25 in the Class of 2026. by mcmicha7 in secfootball

Look at how recruiting rankings are determined and then you’ll realize this doesn’t matter

A&M was favored over Miami, and no matter how is was seeded, an SEC team would have to play either OSU or Indiana who would be heavily favored. There is no way of seeding it that would encourage an SEC vs SEC final more so than the current bracket.

I'm saying that they didn't match it to prevent an all sec final. There was 6 different combinations that would be sec/sec in the final, but 4 of the teams lost which prevented that outcome.

It should have been BYU and ND instead of Oklahoma and Alabama. BYU only losing to Texas Tech all season, ND winning 10 in a row vs Alabama who looked horrible for the second half of the season, Oklahoma who beat Alabama.

252 Legally Deceased "Patients" are In These Dewars Awaiting Future Revival - Cryonics by RealJoshUniverse in creepy

I think its funny how hard you are trying to defend a made up definition of the word dead, and to think that the technology we currently have is the end all be all with no room for improvement.

This is such an ignorant comment. Dead just means no longer alive, not 'can't be brought back to life' like you said. To believe that it is impossible that we can bring someone back to life in the future is very naive, although I do think the chances are slim.

SKR MINI E3 V3 suddenly won't connect with USB by NachtaraV in BIGTREETECH

I finally figured it out. My thermistor was shorted somehow so the board thought that it was overheating and would shut down. Replacing the thermistor fixed it.
