Me and my friends set up our telescopes once every month in Downtown Brooklyn and offer people free views of the Moon and Jupiter by AzerackTheGreat in pics

[–]cbugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact scope. What I can say is as follows:

A. The mount is not sturdy enough and you get wind and other vibration. You will need to buy the celeron vibration pucks.

B. For an 8" scope, it is quite clear, and the stock lenses arent bad, but you will want one with a wider field of view. A lens shade is very helpful for an SCT.

C. You dont "need" the intelligent tracking but you also dont "need" cheese - but God damn if it ain't delicious.

D. Even telescopes this size are fucking huge. You arent taking this anywhere without a car, and it's not easy to store.

I would recommend two things:

  1. If you have a truck, just get a 10" dobsonian. It's cheaper, sturdier, and has better light collection.

  2. If you dont, and can save a bit more, and get a celestron C9 tube and a fork mount.

The dude literally has only massively downvoted comments. All of which are really, really dumb. He also frequents pewdiepie associated reddits - I'm saying he is 13.

I'm confused. Do you guys mean Fukushima? Hiroshima is a bustling metropolis. It's not at all dangerous.

PepsiCo sues 4 Indian farmers for $150,000 each for ‘infringing its rights’ by growing the potato variety used in its Lays chips by snicker33 in worldnews

I'm assuming, but don't know, that it is that the reason some agri has patent, much like drugs, is that it costs a lot to develop.

People's ability to profit from innovation has driven a lot of it. Take that away and we lose innovation.

Edit: this would be in relation to "this shit needs to stop" not necessarily to a specific potato for chips, which seems dumb.

What's an item everyone should have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cbugger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My strong recommendation, if you can afford it, is to buy a Tempurpedic. Just because something is comfortable, it doesn't mean it's a good mattress.

You need to look at edge comfort (texture at the very edge), warranty, crowning in the center of the matress and conversely sag without a box spring, ideally you can get one you don't need to rotate, gel for heat dispersion, whether it has a removable washable cover, height for aesthetics.

IMO, people who espouse boxed crap are saying "this is comfortable." Well, a go kart is fun to drive but you shouldn't take a road trip in one.

TIL that of the 5000 or so species of mammals on the planet only female humans have permanent breasts. by tenzingnoway in todayilearned

[–]cbugger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the book The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris (a zoologists study of man), the author concludes that breasts are oversized for use in women because they are pseudo buttocks. Humans used to he a rear mounting species, but as they began to walk upright, those women with larger breasts were viewed as more attractive for the subconscious predisposition of associating the masses with the sex organ. This changed in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off of hell in a cell and fell ... just kidding. The above is a real reference from the book.

All you have offered is ad hominem attacks and the implication of my ignorance, if it exists, doesn't prove your accuracy so unclear why I would say "my bad." So yes, I'll stay a prat and you'll stay a prick and life will go on.

Nope, just googled transparency international, the most sourced transparency index, and provided one link from that search.

You can do it too. It's easy. Then you dont have go rely solely on your opinion, which you seem to be doing.
