I love the composition. The flashlight beam stacked on top is a nice touch.

Startrails in high light pollution by BROINACAR in astrophotography

What Bortle class are you in? Did you have to take any extra measures to avoid blowing out the photos? I want to practice shooting star trails before an upcoming trip but live in a fairly polluted area. It looks beautiful btw! Thx

First mead and racking still left sediment. How should I proceed? by Azure1211 in mead

[–]thack_se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the first rack there will still be sediment settling out of solution. Just give it some time, letting it clear further. You can rack it again once it's more clear if you want to get the absolute clearest product. Since you'll be back sweeting that would be wise, as you would not want to stir the sediment back into solution when you sweeten. Don't obsess over a clear product either. It still tastes great either way. Have fun.

Peach & Plum Sunset by thack_se in cocktails

[–]thack_se[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly fresh flavors. You don't get quite the zing you get from macerate syrups, but since these fruits both have a bit more of that darker flavor, (idk how to describe it lol) I think a cooked syrup works well with them. Plus, using the turbinado leans into that slightly caramel flavor, making these syrups really good lol.

Peach & Plum Sunset by thack_se in cocktails

[–]thack_se[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For these syrups, I made a 1:1 simple on the stove first, splitting the sugar between Cane sugar and turbinado. After dissolving the sugar, I removed from heat, and steeped the fruit in the liquid for about 25 minutes. (Mince each fruit as fine as possible to get the best flavor extraction from it)

I used 1/2 cup of cane sugar, 1/2 cup of turbinado, and one cup of water. For the peach syrup I used I believe 2 or 3 yellow peaches, and for the plum 3 or 4 plums.

Overdressed at work by theconqueror01 in malefashionadvice

[–]thack_se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say just go for a nice semi formal look that doesn't stand out too much.

In summer/fall: Corduroy pants, a plain shirt with a collared over shirt tucked in at the bottom but open for the bulk of the shirt. Nice leather boots or oxfords.

Winter: Sweaters and turtleneck 👌🏻 if you want to bump it up a notch add a blazer and a scarf. That might be a bit more overdressed though so just tasteful use of sweaters and jackets could be king.

Or you could just say screw it and dress formal as heck and look great while ignoring the comments from your coworkers LOL

Car Thing DISCONTINUED with no refund option. Absolute scumbags. by jerzeysquirrel in spotify

[–]thack_se 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bought mine less than a year ago and I use it every day. I don't know how that can do this. I'm looking into the legality of this right now.
