I'll have you know 65% does not go out of my tail pipe.
It goes out a hole in the exhaust manifold that I'm too poor to patch up.

It's a wee bit out of my bailiwick, sad to say. Their "hobby smarts" are my "oh my god this is the most concentration I've ever had to use to figure something out smarts" although regular astronomy is a hobby I can never get enough of
All I've got for now is a tiny 4in newtonian , and though I do want to upgrade, it's on the back burner for a few years while all my other expenses are sorted.
Still orders of magnitude better than the refractor I used to have.
you wouldn’t treat a broken ankle with strong painkillers and continue walking as if nothing was wrong just because it doesn’t hurt anymore - would you?
Of course not! We limp around trying to keep it from hurting, praying to any deity that will listen and some that won't that it heals before you have to pay for a visit to urgent care.
The pills are just to help us go to work while we mentally figure out how many meals we will be skipping to pay for it.
Now ask me if I'm joking.
I wonder if this is also one of those genetic things like cilantro, because ibuprofen tastes nasty as fuck to me. Like "bitter and my tongue wants to cut itself off to stop the taste even after a drink" nasty.
Daily reminder that the moral high ground is littered with corpses.

"sounds like the DOD wanted to test if anyone would notice they moved something with the X37"
Never underestimate how far amateur radio telescope operators will go for a clean sky.
I haven't spoken to one of my trucker cousins since 2016. Used to talk every family gathering, shoot the shit and catch up, talk about whatever until it was time to leave.
Now I actively ignore that he has even spoken if we're at the same family gathering that I didn't set up or host. Hasn't been invited to any that I do.
And apparently, he "doesn't know why"
The same kind of person who shares this as if it's some sort of condemnation see absolutely no problem sitting on the couch, pounding down 15 beers a night, and scream at their wife and kids
TOS was peak fighting style for action, you can't change my mind.
Look at the absolutely flawless way he disarmed kirk.
Perfection.
The OG most wanted is hands down my favorite of all time.
I dropped $40 just to play on my Xbox around 10 years ago.
I'd buy it again if I didn't already have it installed.
It's gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can't because social security doesn't exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.
