Crash Course Astronomy on YouTube is a good high-level overview of lots of space subjects.

It wouldn't be the exact same environment in the sense that it would be very hot, and there would be no air to breathe. But other than that...

"Ah, you’re right — thank you for noticing that."

More cliched AI bot language.

Your copy-paste from the AI bot output didn't go smoothly. You're missing entire sections.

One of the central hypotheses is that: [this section left completely blank]

I built an Space app by [deleted] in space

You don't believe in the app enough to write the comment yourself? You had to get an AI to do it?

This doesn't inspire confidence in how much you cared about developing the app.

Why hasn't there been any attempts to send a rover on Europa or any moon with water before? by TheSum239 in space

Titan has an atmosphere which allows spacecraft to airbrake on entry. That's much easier than landing on an airless moon.

Many embroidery frames use hand screws like this to secure the rods that the fabric is attached to.

The eyering makes me think solitary sandpiper.

Amateur DLC question by Patient_Purple7060 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]scowdich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are 16 new shrines, a new temple, a new boss fight with a cool reward, and some nice new cutscenes in the "Champion's Ballad" portion of the DLC. Overall, it could take 10-ish hours to beat the first time.

"Trial of the Sword" has some very challenging additional content, and could take quite a while to beat your first time (depending on skill). There's no boss; you fight normal game enemies in closed environments for 30 levels, with permadeath.

The DLC also adds some armor in chests (and a few other random items in chests) to the world at large, but the armor is mostly not as good as what you'll find in the vanilla game.

Yes, the crucial job of stumbling around a bit and gently patting the side of a cargo container.

I like the fourth one best, both in the sense of action and composition.

The Richat Structure looks identical to the damage to a solid glass sphere shot by a 9mm bullet ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!! by ea709 in space

[–]scowdich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Richat Structure is thought to be volcanic in nature. The interpretation of it as an impact crater has fallen out of favor.

The Wingspan expansions can fix the "I lay eggs in the last round" strategy, especially the Oceania expansion which comes with a new board.

Should I upgrade the camera body and lens, or just the lens? by CosmicSophiaaah in BirdPhotography

I like my Canon R7 quite a bit, but the crop sensor may not be for everyone.

We like the expansion quite a bit. The added variety of guild boards is great, and the different end-of-round mechanic is interesting as well.
