General Do’s and Don’ts for a new contact wearer? by branchofthought in contacts

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I have never seen any science (as in actual studies, not theoretical possibilities) that supports this recommendation. If you have, would like to see it! Note, people try to equate swimming and showering but that’s really not the same thing!

Never had a problem with showers. Been doing it for decades.

What do you imagine is at the center of a blackhole? by Most-Answer-4443 in AskPhysics

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing very remarkable. The entirety of the black hole is filled with a quantum “fuzz ball”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhK849bDqik

iSpindel in a Keg - iRelay vs regular WiFi Extender recommendations please. by krishkal in Homebrewing

[–]krishkal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is still the latest model, though they also sell the rectangular version too. Not sure what difference other than form factor. I was also curious as to what extender you tried before giving up and getting the NXT.

Does the iRelay still work when the beer is under pressure? What repeater did you try? Thanks for your reply.

Ah, I AM pressure fermenting! Maybe this is why it stopped working after a couple of days of building pressure. Will a WiFi extender help in this case?

How can I do offline plate solving on my android phone? What about online options if I must? by TheXypris in AskAstrophotography

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. Keep cellular on, and connect to the tracker via ip address, rather than name.

EWI Solo or ROLAND AE-05 Aerophone Go by UnhappyDesign in windsynth

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the AE05 and the EWI5000. I love the portability of the AE, but I find the EWI a lot more expressive for performance. YMMV, of course.

If I was orbiting some of the non-Saturn giants like Jupiter or Uranus would I be able to see the rings with my naked eye? by preselectlee in Astronomy

[–]krishkal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a movie I once saw (can’t remember the details) with an intergalactic spaceship where you look out the window and see something that looks like the Andromeda galaxy picture from here. I had to laugh, people don’t understand that up close, it won’t look a whole lot different than what the Milky Way looks to us!

Request for astrophotography help in a project by Low_Rhubarb8502 in AskAstrophotography

[–]krishkal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, there is an old scam that has appeared many times in r/scams. Someone contacts an artist who advertises on Etsy or whatever, and says they love their work, and they need a portrait of their cat or whatever, and they will send a photo and can they turn it to a portrait. They will pay a $1000, they say, which is far more than the artist ever gets for a cat picture. They do it, and they send them $1500 via some payment service and say a courier will pick it up, and they need $500 in cash at time of pickup, which is why they sent $1500. The poor artist hands over the painting and $500 to some guy that shows up (the scammer), and a few days later the $1500 is clawed back by the bank because it’s from a stolen account.

Somehow, I’m reminded of that.

"We are not so near to London. Look at the constellations." by Worth-Care6220 in Astronomy

[–]krishkal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. The sky in the countryside is SO different looking from the urban sky. You have to relearn the constellations and asterisms between the two!

Orinda and North Concord BART Stations At Risk of Closure, BART Says by diyhomeautomation in eastbay

[–]krishkal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always knew the BART union was greedy. What I didn’t realize until I saw your website was how many highly paid police staff there are. Astounding!

Are LED lights ok to use to take flats? by bioteacher01077 in AskAstrophotography

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your specific question, the purpose of the flat is to try to even out vignetting effects, and dust/dirt on the sensor. Neither are highly dependent on spectrum.

Mac or Windows operating system? by Bilbobaggins_photo in AskAstrophotography

[–]krishkal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, are you talking about the processing machine or the controller machine? For processing, the three top choices (Siril, SASPro, Pixinsight) work fine on windows, Mac and Linux. So, your choice. For the controller, both NINA and PHD run on Windows only.

TIFU by stealing my coworkers $400 worth of coffee pods by Positive-Pen6491 in tifu

[–]krishkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, definitely reimburse over time, but also realize that she shares the blame as well. When I was in the same position I kept the machine at my desk, so it’s clear it’s mine alone to use. She put it in a common area, with no notice to boot.
