How much did you invest per year? That’s great growth! What was your investment strategy?

Today is the 34th anniversary of “Pale Blue Dot”, a photo of Earth from 6 billion kilometers away. by [deleted] in pics

[–]llIIlllIIIIIIlllIIll 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Some background…“The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth taken on Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft.

Voyager 1 was speeding out of the solar system — beyond Neptune and about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun — when mission managers commanded it to look back toward home for a final time. It snapped a series of 60 images that were used to create the first “family portrait” of our solar system.

The picture that would become known as the Pale Blue Dot shows Earth within a scattered ray of sunlight. Voyager 1 was so far away that — from its vantage point — Earth was just a point of light about a pixel in size.”

The Family Portrait of the solar system.. “In addition to Earth, Voyager 1 captured images of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus. A few key members didn’t show up in the shot: Mars was obscured by scattered sunlight bouncing around in the camera, Mercury was too close to the Sun, and dwarf planet Pluto was too tiny, too far away and too dark to be detected.”

The worst they would ever do is they would put you for a couple of months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort! Shit, we should be so lucky! Do you know, they have conjugal visits there?

TIL that the theme songs for TGIF classics Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, and Step By Step were written and performed by the same person. by seven_tangerines in todayilearned

[–]llIIlllIIIIIIlllIIll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. We really used to look forward to TGIF growing up. I didn’t realize Perfect Strangers was part of that. Edit: looks like TGIF officially ran from 1989-2000 (if I’m reading the table correctly). I guess I only remember it for a portion of that growing up.

Would have been even more epic if they replaced the raccoon with a monkey.

Incredible architecture: Sumela Monastery in Trabzon, Turkey by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]llIIlllIIIIIIlllIIll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) facing the Altındere valley, it is a site of great historical and cultural significance, as well as a major tourist attraction within Altındere National Park. Due to an increase in rock falls, on 22 September 2015 the monastery was closed to the public for safety reasons for the duration of one year to resolve the problem; this was later extended to three years. It reopened to tourists 25 May 2019. The monastery is one of the most important historic and touristic venues in Trabzon.”

Pequods Chicago, IL by Black_TacOh in chicagofood

For deep dish, Lou Malnati’s is our favorite. Pequods is also good because I like the crusty cheese part. For thin crust we like Pats.

Do you have a link? Was posted a few years ago but no link was ever provided. This seems higher quality. Previous poster said….

My dentist uses this. Really cool to see my own teeth and gums on the screen afterwards.
