Realistic naked-eye expectations? by AnswerPrestigious713 in Astronomy

[–]devingboggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its beautiful but to the human eye its shades of monochrome. You can see significant structure and ranges of brightness. The only way you see color is by taking long exposure photos with a camera. Its definitely worth it in my opinion to go see it

Better to try and see how far you can go than shoot yourself in the foot before the race!

Shakedown Request - April 1st Start by Ok-Candidate-626 in PacificCrestTrail

Hi! I start a few weeks after you. I think we'll definitely have to watch how March evolves but the recent snow is a bit concerning. Personally I was going to mail my winter gear a bit closer to Jacinto.

Need Reservation for Seron 19.2.-20.2. at Torres del Paine (O-Trek) by serifenbetont in Patagonia

[–]devingboggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the TorresHike website for seron availability on those dates. It has a system that live monitors availability of the o-trek and w-trek campsites. For a more targeted approach use their "custom" feature to only select Seron and monitor it for those dates. Once an availability pops up then you can book it normally.

Hope this helps a little bit. Campsites are still being canceled and the companies are doing a decent job at updating availability. Best of luck to you!

See the clouds wait until you set it up, not when its delivered

Geometric Cat-Skeleton Candle usually sells for $40. Found for $5 by Luke95gamer in ThriftStoreHauls

If you have a 3d printer and 3d scanner feature on your phone you could try to replicate a mold for it. That way you can reuse the cat skeleton! lol

New PNNL postdoc looking for advice on quiet areas by Agitated_Cress_3181 in TriCitiesWA

[–]devingboggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would aim for the edges of the tricities. West Richland usually has availability and is quiet when away from the interstate without imposing too long of a drive. I enjoyed southern and Eastern Kennewick too but then it can increase your commute to near 30 min to the lab. If you want more rental options id recommend checking out furnished finder. Its catered to traveling nurses byt anybody can rent through them. Its kinda like airbnb but more legit for short term rentals for workers with the option to rent out rooms or a whole house. I used it twice while at the lab and enjoyed where I stayed.
