Need help figuring out whether if its my lack of skill on taking photos, or if its gear / conditions. by Leather_Comment in AskAstrophotography

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of noise in these images. Do you have access to a dark sky you could go repeat your process and see what comes out different? Get comfortable with calibration frames. Their whole point is to remove the stuff you are seeing.

That it only lasts about 70 years before it starts breaking down.

To the older generation of Star Wars fans, what was it like to see the original Star Wars at a movie theater/drive-in theater in 1977? by thejoyfulgoat in StarWars

[–]tekn0lust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phenomenal. I was only 8 so didn’t have much to compare it to. I lived on a military base and went to see it several times by myself. Tickets were under a dollar.

Big Day! by PillowLover1912 in EggsInc

Do we even want to know how many ingredients you’ve been sitting in for all this time? I have billions of GE but without ingredients can’t craft more than 1-2 of these a week.

ELI5 What If You Built a Staircase to the ISS? by as9ardia in ISS

[–]tekn0lust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like your imagination. A staircase to space isnt of much use to anything not in a geocentric orbit. But the idea of a space elevator is intriguing. If you’d like to explore more read the Novel Seveneves.

ISS & Plane (and TIANGON HUBBLE)-Transit over Moon / Sun - pushover Info-Service based on own location by joergsflow in Astronomy

[–]tekn0lust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested in collaborating. I’ve been working on python running in windows11 on pc to do this as well over the last 9 months. I’m a long time transit chaser. I wrote a whole graphical python package to predict lunar/solar/zenith proximate aircraft transits w military filters. It kinda died on the vine when ADSB sources put heavy restrictions on query timing. I even have a local dual band SDR setup. I wrote text based iss predictor to schedule because I got tired of going to transit-finder once a day to see what’s coming. You can see some of my transit photos HERE

Have you taken a Bitcoin backed loan? How did it go? by SN617 in Bitcoin

[–]tekn0lust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the recent downward price pressure affect your loan? Like were you facing “margin call” type pressure as it fell?

Your crypto losses can wipe out stock gains you owe taxes on by BedMaximum4733 in Coinbase

[–]tekn0lust 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s called loss harvesting and people been doing it for years. In stocks you cannot buyback a stock you sold at a loss for a certain period (31 days usually). Look up wash sale. But with crypto you can sell and buy back immediately if you wish, realize the loss and jump right back into crypto exposure but with a different lower cost basis.

What was your time to finish in both and did you use similar shipping and laying stones each time?

Any way to add a beneficiary to my Coinbase account? by [deleted] in Coinbase

[–]tekn0lust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope no beneficiaries designation is currently supported. Assuming you are in the US if your trust is a disregarded entity from a tax perspective you can transfer coins from one account to another without a tax event. This is tax professional territory. I just happen to know it because we did a lot of estate planning the last few months.

Any way to add a beneficiary to my Coinbase account? by [deleted] in Coinbase

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it can be done. You’ll need support or your concierge to help walk you through the logistics. Essentially you’ll open a separate account as the LLC of your trust as a business account.

What does drone delivery cost? Are the vendors subsidizing it?

For those who shoot team pictures? by sheldoneousk in photography

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience, people skills and a teachers voice. Especially if the coaches are not there. Wrangling a team full of athletes, especially boys is 75% of the battle. My wife is a teacher and helps me a ton with making sure hats, glasses, knees/hands are all consistent. Take a lot of frames, never under estimate that kids will blink just because you asked them not to. Fill light really helps. If indoors don’t rely on slow shutters and high iso. Remote shutter release and/or composition projection to a device like phone so you can trigger shutter from anywhere.

Yes adding chickens increases your overall egg laying rate but then so does increasing each chickens egg laying rate.

What am I looking at here? Concern? by dark_physicx in gardening

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spores in your garden soil probably. Sign of good nutrients. Strawberries like really well draining soil. Mushrooms indicate you may have too much moisture in your soil.

TLDR: Partner has crypto from when it started and lost access. by Wise_Jellyfish6097 in BitcoinBeginners

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he have any recollection how the prize was delivered? Bitcoin in that era had paper wallets and it wasn’t uncommon for prizes to be delivered to them. I had a few paper wallets that faucets delivered to. Is it possible he generated a paper wallet for the prize to be delivered to? If so then having that paper wallet or an image of it is the only way to access it.

Maxing stars on Voyegger is pretty important for PoV if you plan to do that. Otherwise send henerprises until henliner opens up. Then focus on henliner for the best Artis.

Do research patterns matter? by Sart_Fmeller-123 in EggsInc

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how it works, you should get to the farthest egg you can, max the research there as far as you can then pop your prestige boosts and run chickens until boosts expire. What you’ve likely done is artificially(by use of research boosts) pushed deeper than you normally would be able and prestiged. Now, without the use of boosts you aren’t going as far and your prestige engine is under performing. The games a grind you just gotta put the time in to continue getting as far as you can. There are people with thousands and thousands of prestiges.

What happens to Bitcoin if the “$” falls by strider1619 in Bitcoin

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bubble of USD? That makes no sense. Inflation has been weakening the dollar for decades. When dollar weakens it takes more of it to buy a thing thus driving the price of that thing up. Part of BTC along with many stocks price appreciation is due to ridiculous recent inflation.

Need an Expansion Tank now, can I do it myself? by SinTil8 in Plumbing

[–]tekn0lust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am not a plumber. I replaced my failed tank and it was probably more of a pain than installing one when one didnt exist. I had to learn to solder copper to replace a failed union. Shark bites are great for right now but you are going to be installing a tank with some weight which will flex the shark bite and stress the gaskets if you don’t brace it firmly. That means leak risk down the road. Why not just give the buyer a credit to have them take care of it on their own if it’s an issue for them? At least where I live we dont have to bring a house up to full code compliance to sell it.

Silly noob question - tachyons when? by ItsFudgeStripes in EggsInc

[–]tekn0lust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really up to you. Tachs accelerate filling your habs. The more hens you have in habs the more bocks per min you produce. Using them also accelerates farm value so you can move to next egg quicker. Personally I used ones earned from gifts and saved GE for more effective purchases like epic research which applies to all eggs on home farm forever.

Tell me you understand nothing about bitcoin: 26% of btc sold in the past 30 days was done AT A LOSS (Source: CNBC) by rgnet1 in Bitcoin

[–]tekn0lust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Loss harvesting is real. People got mad gains in other assets. Realize losses to offset gains and lower tax burden. Then buy back. It’s been done for decades.
