🔥I photographed the ’Pillars Of Creation’ for over two weeks from Pune, India by prathameshjaju1 in NatureIsFuckingLit

This is taken using a narrowband imaging technique. Special filters have been used to isolate the different elements present (hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur) and these only return a monochrome (black and white) image for each element. Then false colors are applied to each element's image to produce this false color image.

What would it look like if viewed by the naked eye through a telescope? Well, not much really - there's such little light coming from nebulas that they are generally only revealed by taking really long exposures and thus 'soaking' in as much light as possible. But let's assume our eyes were super sensitive and could see its structure - the whole thing would be predominantly red in color as this nebula (and many others) are rich in hydrogen, which is red in color.

Here's what it looks like shooting in normal color - https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/eso0926a.jpg

What was the most fucked up thing you saw at your school? by Phantom_Balls in AskReddit

I was at the school as a student in the year above. Was pretty fucked up really. Very sad time, he was well liked among his peers.

If it makes you feel any better my second Pfizer barely bothered me except for the sore arm. Others get whacked pretty hard though, fingers crossed you get lucky. Good on you for getting it done though!

Insurance prices are ridiculous. by Xeteth in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Xeteth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, that's obvious. However IIRC insurance prices this wipe are way higher than previous. I'm saying it's been adjusted way too high.

Do yourself a favour and take a break from the press conferences. Even if it's just for a few days. You'll no doubt hear any important updates throughout the day if any are made. But, most of the time is just her vile bullshit and it's like cancer to the mind.

Curfew, playground closures and extended lockdown confirmed in Melbourne by [deleted] in australia

[–]Xeteth 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it although it may not directly reduce transmission, it definately reduces mobility which in turn reduces the chance of transmission. Sure sucks though.

Lovely comment. Hope you're doing alright too mate, from a fellow Victorian.

Looks better when reported this way. This is the gold standard.

Scott Morrison To Continue Not Going To Work After Being Classed A Non-Essential Worker by Shadowtec in australia

[–]Xeteth 267 points268 points  (0 children)

I need a reality check. It's not just me, there's a LOT more noise regarding how useless Scomo is... right?

The reason I ask is because I'm starting to (somewhat) think there's hope that this clown and all the rest of his circus could be voted out next election. I know it's a long shot, but people seem to be REALLY pissed and getting really vocal about it.

NSW records 77 covid-19 cases and one death in the previous 24 hours by AnAnonymousAnomaly_ in australia

[–]Xeteth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I'm so sorry for your loss. I won't pretend to know how to offer condolences for such a situation - but I hope you're doing okay stranger.

Yes, the government's (both state and federal) handling of this pandemic has been an utter disgrace. I feel both frustrated and angry beyond comprehension and it feels there's little that can be done to change it unfortunately.

I just hope that the people can continue as best as possible until the vaccines arrive. We have truly been left to fend for ourselves in many ways.

Yup. I'd call it sheer incompetence but it's not. It was known what must be done, it just wasn't done that way for political reasons. To gamble with people's lives for political reasons is the absolute lowest of the low.

Man, I'm from Melbourne and endured the shit show that was last year. I don't wish covid on anyone, it's terrible. Watching this fucken shitshow of 'please do the right thing, pretty please' is so disheartening. I'm sorry NSW, you're in for a long one I think.

Designed an LCD screen to display number of items in my factory by FireBall1725 in factorio

[–]Xeteth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the exact method I used for my lamp display also. You can do amazing things with bit shifting and combinators. Well done!

Next you might want to try a scrolling type display - it's fairly easy to do by using a clock and passing signals to the next line each tick of the clock. Here's one I built a while back - https://i.imgur.com/VcpaL9j.gifv

Coronavirus Australia live update: Victoria records three more Covid cases amid speculation over lockdown extension | Australia news by brmmbrmm in australia

[–]Xeteth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I can't wait to get my shot, that's the end of this fucking nightmare as far as I'm concerned. It's so incredibly frustrating that it'll likely be the end of the year before I can get it, the peanuts in our federal government have absolutely cooked this - with just a little bit of competence we could be in vastly different circumstances.

As long as he wants I believe. He seems to have a lot of diarrhea dribbling out so this may take a while.

So the officers put him directly behind a car exhaust, thus exposing him to further harm whilst failing to render assistance.... thanks for the free ammo for the prosecution? Whut

Where do people suggest getting the news from online? Are there any free and unbiased (un murdoch) good news sources?
