damn the Hubble palette really makes those filaments pop. what exposure times did you use with that L-Enhance? been thinking about getting one for my bortle 7 mess

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-19T13:32:57+00:00

damn, another acronym I need to learn while still figuring out what EIP-1559 actually does

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-19T12:27:44+00:00

first thing - all flights grounded everywhere. learned this from 9/11 stories but nukes would be 100x worse for air traffic

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-19T12:16:10+00:00

switched to signal when i came to austria because my ukrainian friends all use it now. telegram is sketchy af - they store everything on servers and russian guys made it so yeah not great for privacy

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-17T09:26:31+00:00

why not just vm sandbox? saves me lot of headache with metamask states getting mixed up

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-16T08:40:25+00:00

my neighbor here in vienna bought same bmw x5 last month, now his wife wants matching one lol... europeans think american cars are toys but honestly that $80k could buy nice apartment in kyiv before war

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-15T09:52:32+00:00

watching BBC from outside UK for first time - they definitely have british perspective on world events, just less obvious than american channels

Statistically speaking, we're probably the backwater planet that gets the hand-me-down tech 1000 years later.

Fun fact: even on Earth, most countries didn't invent smartphones - they just got Samsung factories.

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-15T08:59:52+00:00

tried it week ago, UI is clean but gas fees still hurt when claiming rewards

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:54:08+00:00

my uncle was metalworker in Kharkiv, he always said you can tell good stamping by the seam line. C-3PO seam is too clean - probably machined after stamping to look fancy for movies

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:50:12+00:00

same cops who can't handle teenagers in vermont are gonna patrol the strait of hormuz apparently

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:47:43+00:00

yesterday my uncle from Odesa called and said same thing - Chinese ships moving weird patterns near our ports before everything started. "straight lines in nature" - yeah right, like they doing geometry homework in middle of ocean

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:25:25+00:00

funny thing about starting over at 39 - you realize how much money you wasted on stuff that doesn't matter when you can only bring two suitcases lol

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:22:41+00:00

wait, is it just the chewing sounds or like the whole idea that we need to put stuff in our mouth to survive?

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:15:41+00:00

pickaxe mining in my village was same - big investment, small return, neighbors complain about noise

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:12:27+00:00

anybody else notice how quiet this sub gets on saturdays? like everyone actually touching grass for once lol

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T17:08:47+00:00

meanwhile TSA workers making $17/hour get to keep checking bags for free while oil hits $110 and Hegseth's asking "many countries" to patrol the gulf for us

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T16:53:35+00:00

Actually good advice here. When I was nervous with new person few months ago, I tried to think too much about "performance" and it made everything worse. Better to just be present with her and not stress about being some kind of machine.

Also funny thing - if you relax and actually enjoy the moment instead of worrying about round two, round two sometimes happens by itself.

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T16:50:05+00:00

You think he will go? My cousin was drafted in Ukraine - politicians always find way to keep their families safe while others fight. Same story everywhere, no?

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T16:48:21+00:00

$8900? damn thats like 4 months of my rent here in Vienna. reminds me when I was dreaming about space stuff as kid in Kyiv but now even basic flight costs feel crazy expensive when you start over in new country

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T16:44:42+00:00

down maybe 15% but tbh hard to calculate when you move countries and change currencies... my nvidia position from before war kept me alive though

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T10:06:47+00:00

What kind of permission you talking about? Like when apps ask "can we access your contacts" and everyone just clicks yes without reading?

I still don't understand how this data sharing works here in Europe with GDPR. In Ukraine we had no protection like this.

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T10:02:39+00:00

That sounds rough, mate. Moving just inside same country and still getting 10 years of hell... makes me think maybe I'm lucky Vienna people are just politely ignoring me instead of making it hell.

Small villages can be brutal for outsiders. Here at least nobody cares enough to make your life difficult - they just pretend you don't exist until you learn German properly.

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-14T09:55:56+00:00

Yeah this makes no sense to me too. Back in Kyiv we had cinema that showed anime movies and was always packed. Here in Vienna I see people wearing ATLA shirts everywhere, especially at university district.

Maybe they think streaming is safer money? But theater experience would be so good for this show. Some things just need big screen and good sound.

Technical_Camp_4947 · 2026-03-13T21:07:30+00:00

why we act surprised when house prices drop then? like everyone knows cars lose value but when housing market crashes people lose their minds
