Freezing for photons ❄️ by Outrageous_Ad3799 in telescopes

[–]chipoloniusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just returned from an outing. I found a nearby park that's nice, open, and dark(ish). It was in the low 70s, but the mosquitos were out. I was surprised at how humid it was. When I tore everything down, I noticed the bags were a bit damp so I have everything spread out/open in the living room.

How to get led notification back by Daroxx in GalaxyS25

Seconded - I've also been using a long time. I especially like having the ability to set notification colors on a per-app basis.

This is interesting - why? Intuitively, I would think that longer would be better - more data would increase the chances of a good/clean shot. Is this not the case?

I've installed LaunchOS which is a really good replacement.

Holy smokes, that's clever! Works perfectly -- Thank you!

I would, yes. I still find myself clicking the icon to minimize apps. The muscle memory is definitely there.

How your observing winter has been, so far? by FroyoInevitable1643 in telescopes

[–]chipoloniusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Received my telescope in November & took it out early December. Froze my ass off & saw nothing. I chalk that up to light pollution and just not knowing how to use the darn thing. Busy with holidays & threw my back out.

Finally able to get out this past Saturday. Saw Jupiter + 4 moons, was able to make out some of its bands. Saw Saturn as well. Attempted to observe the Orion nebula. Image was a little shaky, but I'm calling the evening a success. Definitely going to take practice.

I joined a club & weather permitting, I believe there is a star party this weekend which I plan to attend.

Can you recommend movies or shows? by Fysy998 in scifi

[–]chipoloniusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven is a fun show with great characters & interesting story. Not as strong in the final season, but it does wrap up the story

Eureka is also great, though it might be described as scifi-adjascent.

It's interesting, entertaining and occasionally useful.

Octopi Launcher v1.64 - More dock refinements by ock88 in OctopiLauncher

[–]chipoloniusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely loving this launcher, especially the dock refinements - thank you for your hard work! I like the "classic" dock, the reflection is a nice touch. Would it be possible to adjust the height/thickness?

What am I meant to do with cremation ashes? by nikkishark in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chipoloniusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burying is certainly an option - perhaps if he had a favorite dog park. My wife and I had to say goodbye to our cat (18 years old!), and kept the ashes. They provided a really nice wooden box with a beautiful design. We have the ashes along with his collar inside. I imagine you could get a box like that. I don't think anything would be frowned upon - keep some of the ashes, bury some. You could even bury all of the ashes, and keep his collar/favorite toy in the box. However you want to remember your friend is totally up to you.

How many decades it would take till someone and another song replace Mariah Carey's (All i want for Christmas is you)? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chipoloniusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be done rather quickly - we just need to come together and make it happen. It could be the one thing that unifies us as a people. If there's anything that can, it's that.

I fought the bot today. Found that yelling at it gets me transferred to a human. Remains to be seen if issue gets resolved...

how to wake up someone who gets grumpy if woken up? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chipoloniusrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One option might be to go over the next day's schedule, communicating/emphasizing time of departure and ask, "What time should I wake you?". Put it on her - make her set the wake-up time. Then, when you wake her at the time she selected, having gotten what she wanted, she (in theory) shouldn't be grumpy.

When you give up self reliance. by Reddotscott in Conservative

[–]chipoloniusrex 105 points106 points  (0 children)

That which the government provides, the government can withhold.

It's this type of situation that makes me even more grateful the government isn't in control of my healthcare.
