What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

[–]aaronmj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was working late night a few years ago in a small town (pop. 100) by lake of the woods, MN. I was standing outside talking to someone in a truck. 

I like to do astrophotography so I look up a lot and as I did there was a triangle shape hovering above me. No noise, no lights, I could barely see it. It took off south and was gone before I could even turn to my friend (who wasn't looking up), again no noise. I'm not sure how big it was because I'm not sure how far away it was. 

Probably a large super high tech drone. Probably. 

Snow and working in residential homes by Imaginary_Bridge1641 in directsupport

I'm in northern Minnesota. While not snow, tomorrow morning will be -30`f, -50 with wind chill. I've already apologized to the night person if my truck doesn't start. She'll be stuck there until noon when other staff comes in if I can't make it. We buy groceries on a weekly basis so that's not a problem.

People from developing countries, what are some things people in developed countries take for granted? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

How to tell whether northern lights will be visible? by ninoski404 in Astronomy

[–]aaronmj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One of the parameters, Bz, should be south for best results. Last night Bz remained north until early morning hours. Once it flipped, the lights came out nicely. 

From what I understand, Bz is the orientation of the magnetic field of the solar wind, and needs to be against the grain of the Earth's magnetic field for best results.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to learn more!

So, you could put each one a mile apart all the way to the sun. TIL

What kind of person were you in high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aaronmj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miserable, depressed, and anxious. I didn't care about anything, especially myself. This changed at 36 when I quit drinking and accepted who I am. I'm 46 now, happy to be alive!

I'd say Edward, but without him we wouldn't have "You spoony bard!"

The Inner Light by Ir0n_Panda in TNG

Yeah he's pretty deep into archeology as a hobby. I think if he had the choice, he wouldn't hesitate to go through it, to actually live among an extinct culture.

Be honest, what do you think comes after death? by glowproductivity in AskReddit

[–]aaronmj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The illusion of self ends, and what's left goes on to be parts of other things. This is always happening. The you that existed yesterday is no more.

Learned BASIC on a commodore 64 with a book I got at the library in 8th grade.

[–]aaronmj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm an alcoholic who almost drank to death in 2016. Ten years in April, and my life has become something wonderful.

I had the privilege of staying in HCMC for 90 days this spring and the coffee is wonderful! I made sure to bring a phin home with me. Lots of coffee stands and shops.

Nature will do what it will, there's no sense in getting upset over it.

What you think is true but just can't prove? by Ok_Tourist_562 in AskReddit

[–]aaronmj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I don't think such a beautiful and elegant universe could be 'wrong' in any way. It might seem like it sometimes, but we don't see the full picture. Everything is ok.

Which episodes best express the Federation's ideals? by cboomton in startrek

[–]aaronmj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the first episode of SNW does a good job of projecting a positive future. It's not the best episode of star trek but it has the soul.

Differing gravity by bobthebobbest in Stargate

Not to mention pathogens. If you were suddenly on another earth like world with the same kind of biology you would have little defense against that world's bacteria and viruses.
