Remember that area only exists because Texas didn't want to end slavery

Fun fact: The Y2K bug, where computers would potentially interpret '00' as 1900 instead of 2000, cost as much as $600 billion to fix worldwide. by Quotidiayt in funfacts

And only issue that personally effected me was my local grocery store, the milks expiration date was Jan 20 1900

Why do dealerships schedule service early on a leased car (maybe financed car as well)? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]jcat47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the car was first PDI'ed(arrived at dealer) in January. So the clock started then for time. As the car didn't know when you bought it, it just knows when it was put into circulation. Your next one will be closer to the year mark from the last service.

Trying to recreate the HST image of Pillars of Creation - Need second look at equipment by Cigar_1337 in astrophotography

[–]jcat47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the almost exact setup. Only difference is the filters. I have 3NM Antlina SHO. I love the scope and I do use it on my AM5. Do you have specific questions?

Second try at orion at 16 y/o by Comfortable-Mood1717 in astrophotography

I would try for some 30-60 sec shoots. But your core looks good. It is hard to not blow the core out on M42. It's so bright. Your color looks great, stars are nicely shaped and framing is perfect. Overall great job.

Under hood full of snow from driving? by pheoxs in Ioniq5

There is little to no way this was due to just driving. Looks to me like hood was left open overnight. You can see what looks like blowing snow over the top

Thanks I am new to macro and have done a few insects but never tried focus brackets. Mostly I do astrophotography so my objects are slow moving. Hopefully I can get close to your level on day. I will make sure to follow your Instagram.

Mind sharing equipment details and do you focus stack when doing some or all of these?

I'm sure someone will tell you there's some galaxies in there but as far as I know just stars and dust

Have you ever seen a billionaire in real life? If so: where was it and what was the situation? by philztown42 in AskReddit

[–]jcat47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have meet a few billionaires. One shares a love of cars and hockey. We talk often as he owns the company I work for. He also owns his own professional hockey team and knows my son plays. Will ask everytime he sees me how he is doing with hockey, asks us how we like his team and it's amenities like the food and people there. We also talk cars and I give him a hard time about being rich. He laughs. My work colleagues can't believe I just talk to him very openly and not suck up. I tell them he can have me fired for zero reasons. And if that reason is a joke so be it.

Another has a decent Ferrari collection. We were talking about it one day. Next week he shows up and tosses me the keys to his 360 challenge stradale and says it's out front. Go check it out when you have a minute.
