I honestly don’t remember, it’s been so long since I’ve been into telescopes. But you obviously know your stuff, so you’re right.

Oh man, I always wanted a dobs. They were significantly more expensive than Newtonians when I was shopping around (not sure if that’s still true, this was the 90s), so I ended up with a Newtonian.

I’ve heard stupider believe it or not. Once some co-workers and I went outside to see the ISS pass overhead and one of them said “can they see the Earth from up there?”

I forgot to mention- this woman was the chief news anchor for the local evening TV news.

I saw Saturn at an observatory long before I had my own telescope, but that heart-skip-a-beat moment the first time you see Saturn with your own telescope is like nothing else.

And the hemisphere.

You can probably get a pretty decent Canon or Nikon SLR for cheap on eBay, especially now that everyone is going mirrorless.

Looks great! Do you do image stacking? You might look into that. I did microscope photography and used it, but it’s also used for astrophotography.

We Capricorns are naturally skeptical of horoscopes.

Mostly that it’s still nonsense.

I did not say that. Do not put it in quotes because that is not what I said.

I said:

I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

Because we’re fucking poor.

Also there’s this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/18940775

Believe it or not, the plant-based version of Ensure is a lot more expensive and I’d like to not starve to death if it’s all the same to you.

Maybe learn a little about a person before pointing fingers, especially when they’re on your side.

Your paste:

adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.

Me:

I don’t eat meat

Either you did not read my post or you ignored it to lecture me anyway. Either way, you are not here in good faith.

No vegans dispute this.

I’ve actually seen vegans dispute that. I have no problem with veganism. It is not a bad idea. I don’t eat meat, but I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

But I have seen that.

Delicious screams. With butter.

Because the Democrat ran against a guy who called himself a black Nazi and said he wished slavery was legal so he could own slaves. And said so on porn sites. And that was the printable stuff. A lot of it involved weird sexual shit and fantasies about his wife’s sister.

The real question is how he still got 40% of the vote.

Maybe that’s why the took the photo of the wheel?

It’s okay, Mars is low on fossil fuels and could use some global warming, so the Martians are already burning it as we speak.

I think my biggest takeaway from this so far is that dryers are just not a thing in most of the world. So TIL that.

I know you didn’t ask me, but since I’m the OP, it doesn’t even matter in our case. It could be in either order. The washer opens at the top with a flip up door and the dryer opens from the front with a flip down door.

(sorry lefties,)

Now I wonder, as a lefty, if this is why I always hate the time I have to put everything in the dryer?

The discussion we were having involved the washers and dryers in our homes. Except for one person, it was always washer on the left, dryer on the right.
