@thekookreport At the next earnings, call someone needs to ask about how our lunches are insured. Will we get compensated for both the cost of the satellite and the launch cost? That could be pretty significant

The first time I actually got scared in a computer game was playing Dungeon Master on my Atari ST (a fine system, eventually killed stone dead by piracy). In the game, I opened a grating, which clanked upwards, and a mummy appeared before me. Cool! I was admiring the mummy, when it suddenly raised its arms and shrieked "Rahr". I was so started I literally dropped my mouse. Before I could regain control the mummy had killed two guys in my party of four, and so I restarted the game. Dungeon Master also had the feature that the world got darker as your torches burnt out. And darker ... Also, when a new monster showed up it was always a trip. How do I fight it? What does it do? DID THAT TWERP JUST STEAL MY TORCH?! You had to eat and drink, so finding food & water was always on your mind. What a terrific game. It was real-time, not turn based for another tidbit, and your skills got better by use. You didn't "level up" via experience, which I liked after having played RuneQuest and designing Call of Cthulhu. Finally, it had the best underlying magic system OF ANY GAME ever and it's not close. I include tabletop roleplaying games. This game was so far beyond anything I'd seen before that time. 1987.

@AstroTanja @AstroBackyard You’re not wrong, glad the control room in the observatory keeps the bugs out. Need targets and don’t want to be out all night trying to double stars or variable stars. If doing variables you can submit your observations. aavso.org

I’m actually a bit terrified of summer. The sun sets so incredibly late…. And the humidity is stifling. The bugs getting caught in things. I don’t know - it’s probably the only time I prefer the snowy cold days and already kicking an imaging session off at 6:30pm. And I don’t have a new project / target. 🫣

This is your year... 👊 Who else is excited for an action-packed spring and summer of astrophotography? The weather is starting to turn the corner on the East Coast, and clear skies are on the horizon - are you ready? This picture of the Wizard Nebula I took last year from the backyard is exactly why I got into this hobby in the first place. It reminds me of the early days when I didn't even know where to start, and what I needed to take these kinds of images. While I get to test lots of different gear on the channel, certain rigs fall into the 'If I could only use one' category - and this is one of them! I am currently planning and exploring new projects and techniques to add to my 'life list' of deep-sky objects captured. I hope y'all are excited too! 🤓 IMAGE DETAILS: 18 Hours Total (SHO Palette) Processing in PI and PS GEAR USED: Camera: bit.ly/4nPzzeF Telescope: bit.ly/3IKurJv Mount: bit.ly/3WNMemz

That’s an awesome shot.
Erik Kuna 🚀@erikkuna

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

The mount may be overkill right now. But that c14 in the background will be back on eventually.

Oh trust me. I know fiber isn’t available. Customer over 20 years and been hearing the fiber isn’t coming for 6 years. I enjoy being told about what everyone else is enjoying. ⁦ @GoKineticFiber

Sometimes you get lucky. I bought an Apple IIe, it came with a couple drives, a BUNCH of cards and 100+ disks and software. It was in GREAT condition. I paid $300 for it. In going through the disks and software I find an original Wizardry in great condition that works AND the expansion/scenario disk "Knight of Diamonds" IN SHRINK!! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #appleII

@JohnHarrobin Beyond the 800 number which has no information, Is there anywhere to find out fiber expansion plans? $150m in funding notes should cover the 2 miles it would take to get me, and the neighbors connected to the fiber line at the end of the road. Legacy copper sucks

$ASTS: Hello! Spacemob has compiled the following data on the status of BB6 but until we hear it from you, it's just speculation. What is the status of this ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL SATELLITE? @scottwisniews @AbelAvellan @AST_SpaceMobile

Did you have one of these back in the day? Basically, the predecessor of the Game Boy (launched in 1989), the Game & Watch handheld games started in 1980. I remember having Green House, Donkey Kong (still have it today), and one where you had to rescue people jumping from a burning building. You controlled a team of firefighters holding a net to help the people jump out and into an ambulance, I think. Which did you have?

I think this game will appear on my profile many more times, and I've already mentioned it many times in the past. For now, it's waiting in queue to be completed again. Title: Thief* *One of my followers should be satisfied 😎
