I have an 80 mm Meade f/5 telescope (80 mm primary lens) with a 6.3 mm secondary lens, about 60x magnification, with a home-made solar filter (by home-made, I mean that I used a proper solar filter attached to a hand-built mount for the telescope). The camera is a chinesium no-name brand that I...

My family and I made the trek to Atkins Arkansas to see the eclipse (it's only about a 3.5 hour drive from where I live). I've uploaded the photos and videos to my web-site: Eclipse Pics Hope you all like them. I took them with my 80mm telescope and a cheapie camera that mounted on the...

IMO this was a carefully planned and orchestrated attack, probably for a state actor. I just don't see someone doing this for the LOLs.

Dude, I have been hit by everything in the frequency spectrum, from DC to Light, and from 12 volts to 120,000 volts. Some of it tingled, some of it knocked me on my butt, and frankly I'm amazed I don't glow at night, LOL.

Yup, that's the one.

Reminiscent of Blackreach in Skyrim.

Oh, if only! That would be too easy. The fan hub is asymmetrical, so you can only mount the fan one way and still have it clear the housing properly.

So, this isn't hacking in the computer sense, but it's still IMO hacking, because it is taking something and repurposing it. I bought my wife a Samsung Gas Oven Range a few years ago (model NX58K9850SG/AA if you're curious) It's about 8 years old now. In general, it's a nice stove. The main...

Same to ya, buddy! :rolling:

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, we had to move servers, and AOA has been dead for a while now. The move involved some house-keeping that had been long-neglected. I didn't really want to shut AOA down (lots of good memories there) but it was time to put the old lady to rest, so I set up a redirect to GOL, hoping that...

What TR said. We'll be here; take your time.

Agreed, I'm excited but also really nervous. Umm...have you actually READ The Silmarillion? I found Rings of Power to be rather distasteful, at least based on the previews. I supposed I should actually go watch at least one episode to see if I'm misjudging, though. :rolleys: I watched both...

SurlyJoe! How's it hangin'?!

Due to a colossal screw-up on my part, we are now faced with having to move servers by November 1. This simply is not going to happen in the time allotted. As a consequence, I anticipate there will be some downtime, potentially up to this weekend, starting November 1. Don't panic, we will be...

Up until the late 1930s, it was thought that it was impossible for an aircraft to travel faster than the speed of sound. The effects of turbulence were believed to be so great as to destroy any feasible aircraft. The only reason bullets could go supersonic, it was believed, was because they...

The laws of physics, as we currently understand them, don't permit us to get anywhere OUTSIDE the solar system that might harbor life any time within our lifetimes. Our current level of technology doesn't permit us to get anywhere interesting that might harbor life WITHIN the solar system in...

Yeah, it's like when the Hubble first started sending back pictures, all over again. If you can look at these images and not be awed, you have no soul IMO.
