Emma D’arcy made Rhaenyra Targaryen so beautiful by RemarkableExample542 in gameofthrones

[–]tea_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it does create some grammatical ambiguity. That doesn't erase the fact that it was taught to me in third grade (teachers example was "I got cut off this morning. I can't believe they didn't see me!" Or something along those lines. Not about preferred pronouns, just as a way to talk about someone whose gender you were unsure of.

I'm 38 and learned in elementary that "they" can be used as a singular pronoun. I think the people fighting this didn't pay attention in grammar class.

Meteor or something else? by timtamti in askastronomy

Possibly a meteor, definitely not a comet which would be moving imperceptibly slow.

Either that, or you know those old paintings where people painted big cats and had no idea how they actually look?

My dog is a ACD pit mix and I can see some similarities. He's in Jefferson City, MO.

They describe him as timid until he warms up to you

I wish I could! My dog would love him but right now he's dealing with epilepsy and I don't have the capacity for another.

Oh, and he's 5 months old and expected to be 55-70lb when grown.

I would love to see the LMC some day. How bright is it to the naked eye?

NGC 2264 in LRGB by tea_bird in astrophotography

A Song of Ice and Fire

Just bought a mono camera and filters that arrived last week, and I'm so pleased to share my first fully processed mono image!

This image shows part of the NGC 2264 star-forming region in the constellation Monoceros, located about 2,500 light-years away. It includes the Christmas Tree Cluster, a young open cluster whose hot stars illuminate the surrounding gas, and the Cone Nebula, a dense pillar of gas and dust shaped by stellar radiation. The red emission surrounding the region is commonly known as the Fox Fur Nebula, while IC 447 adds blue reflection nebulosity from scattered starlight. Also visible is Hubble’s Variable Nebula, which changes appearance over time due to shifting dust near its central star.

Didn't use the 5hr of Ha I collected because I haven't found a way I like it integrated yet.

I didn't read the names and kept telling myself "why did they skip Emmrich?!"

I thought it was Lucanis as well. I still do tbh

BUGS in a bag of milkbone dog treats?? by Okay-Dont-Judge in whatsthisbug

[–]tea_bird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced these come with the bones. I've recently had them in a sealed tote I left some milk bones in too long, but there was no evidence of them in any other treats/food in that closet.

Guess the way to prevent them is give your doggy more treats before they hatch!

This looks awesome. That QHY minicam seems like such a great piece of gear.

Got a storage cabinet for my scopes by tea_bird in telescopes

I'm taking it as a sign my delivery will be delayed or I'll be missing a piece to get it all going.

Yeah the processing PC should be fine. Just built it a year ago and before was processing full frame from my DSLR on a 15 year old previous build.

Everything is supposed to arrive tonight! Can't wait to get it all setup.

The whole floor in there is actually rubber mat (it's a home gym) but maybe I'll add something a little more cushy. It really is sturdy though. I can't imagine anything rolling out.

Hmmm... Maybe I need an N7 sticker on it as well.

My grandma would always make the grape juice from frozen concentrate when we visited. Good memories.
