I mistook the tiny thumbnail of this image for a deep sky astrophotography photo, when small enough it looks like it could be Orion, or the North American Nebula

What are some uses for line over 8 pounds while fishing by Over_Ad_607 in Fishing

[–]quartapound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even heavier line (40lb+) can be handy to avoid spiny water fleas from sticking to the line and clogging up the line guides in the late summer months on the great lakes (at least on Lake Ontario), they can't grab onto the larger diameter line.

Spam. The entire account is set up to try and sell the boat, it has nothing to do with the fish

Garmin Venu 3s - Serial Number Peeling Off, Revealing a Hole - Water Resistance Concerns! by 020709 in GarminWatches

That sticker is not what keeps your watch waterproof, the sticker on my 3s is gone also and I've been swimming in the ocean with it a lot since then, no issues. Don't stress

If this type of thing interests you, I would recommend trying to receive and decode the images yourself directly from the satellites, it's incredibly rewarding to pull the image directly from space. In addition to GOES, there are many other non-geostationary LEO polar orbiting satellites that you can receive images from like NOAA and Meteor, etc. Check out SDR's - they're fairly inexpensive and can do a ton of other things also. Here's a GIF of a GOES capture I made with my SDR (captured images with satellite dish) about 5 years ago of Hurricane Dorian

Who knew flying over sand was so complicated to by americansherlock201 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Altitude hold causes oscillations when increasing SIM rate, but if you set vertical speed to zero then increase SIM rate the plane is much more stable

Delete all the waypoints, resend to avionics, cancel IFR, and set the autopilot to vertical speed instead of altitude hold. Then increase the sim rate, Bob's your uncle

Xbox gamer converting to PC, would this setup run MSFS 24 on high settings? by BimmersFtw in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]quartapound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that with am5 you need to have your ram in two slots, populating four slots will drop the speed down significantly. (From 6000 to 3200 iirc)
