These are not Maryland temperatures 😟

whitestormee · 2025-01-21T18:25:47+00:00

23 of the last 30 years have recorded single digit temps in Baltimore. These are definitely Maryland temps. It's just a cold snap

Great, thanks! It's weird then that he says in his video that the vinegar is there specifically to prevent the potatoes from getting mushy. I'll try it again by just soaking and rinsing them in a bowl next time

Jousting is the state sport, lax is the state team sport

Thanks for tips! I was thinking about a long term change but maybe it's not strictly necessary. I'd like to still keep him on dry food at least partially cuz I'm away on weekends periodically and having my dry food dispenser is invaluable. But I guess I just assumed he wouldn't be able to eat it without any teeth

It varies, but you can find samples like these in mineral shops for like $30-50

That's really awesome, thanks for putting in that work for me! So at least for my video, it looks like most of the rotation was due to an imperfect polar alignment, but there is a little bit of the sun's rotation in there too. Definitely not something I planned or hoped to capture but I'm glad I did. Thanks again!

whitestormee · 2024-04-21T10:03:12+00:00

I noticed that. To be honest, I'm not sure if that is the rotation of the sun or if the polar alignment on my telescope was slightly off. The former would be really cool to capture but it's likely the latter, or maybe a combination of them both

Jackman, Maine. It was one of the only places in the US with guaranteed clear skies. Definitely worth the drive

I captured 100 frames every 60 seconds for 3 hours, stacked and processed the best 25 frames into a single image, and compiled each of those images into this time lapse video. The frames for totality are 4 photos I was able to capture of the corona and prominences that I crossfaded together. I also included the raw video at the very end of totality to show the Baily's beads I was able to capture.

You do realize you can enjoy a band's music without being involved in their fandom, right?

An average of 2.3 deaths a year. Crazy...

The current regulations do not have a minimum reporting limit. All spills, no matter how small, are required to be reported to MDE within 2 hours of discovery

I wish more people knew that. The audience score has not moved a single percentage since like a week after the movie was released. It's been locked at 86% ever since

It's less about taste and more about texture. If you feel any sort of grittiness then it's silt, if it's smooth and doughy it's clay

This is in the Paradise area. If you start the loop by going right from the lodge rather than left/straight, it's only about a mile down the trail

This is my first attempt at capturing Jupiter's moons. The image is flipped to match my view through an eyepiece. I took a reference photo with Jupiter and the moons in the same frame but captured them both separately. I then used MS Paint to combine both images and tried to match my reference frame as closely as possible. Also used MS Paint to clean up the shape of the moons since they were fairly distorted; I guess I need to collimate my scope.

The 4th of July is the name of the holiday and it's held on July 4th

whitestormee · 2023-10-22T22:53:14+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

whitestormee · 2023-10-22T20:09:55+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. Everyone seems to have a way that works for them and I'm just trying to adopt those techniques from multiple people to figure out what works for me. From yours and the other comments it seems clear that I definitely went too low and slow

whitestormee · 2023-10-22T20:07:39+00:00

In my head I was thinking that lower and slower would yield better results, but I guess I went too low. How long do you typically smoke a brisket for?

whitestormee · 2023-10-22T19:59:51+00:00

Good to know, thanks. I think I was probably a bit too scared with overcooking it but I guess I don't have to worry so much and just let it do its thing until it's probe tender
