I’ve been snapping up DVDs of every film I care about over the last five years. Especially the holiday films since you know they’re going to hold those hostage.

Don’t let this guy watch Kangaroo Jack.

But it takes more energy to split than you get out of it.

Doesn’t splitting helium into hydrogen absorb energy?

Fusion bombs fuse hydrogen into helium.

A positive pregnancy test.

I’m talking about the back doors. But yes. I incorrectly compared the front doors in the 3/Y with the back doors of the X.

Yeah the releases in the 3 and Y aren’t too bad. Most people use them by mistake once or twice (and get the warning about window trim).

The X however is unforgivable. You have to pop off the speaker grills to get to them and then the door also weighs a lot and has to be manually lifted upwards.

Instructions unclear. Wrapped laptop around post.

I think you’re mixing up names. Dobson is the name of the mount, and since they’re most commonly used on Newtonians, it’s kind of become shorthand. My 5" and 12" are both Newtonian reflectors on Dobson mounts.

Maybe you’re thinking of a Schmidt Cassegrain?

I remembering bringing my 5" dobson to a work retreat camping trip. Everyone was pretty boozed up to the point where they were struggling to keep their eyes steady in the eyepiece.

When one of my coworkers finally got everything lined up he just blurted out “HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT’S SATURN!”

It was great.

I love showing people Saturn. Clearly visible even with city light pollution, and rings can be resolved even with cheap hardware.

Kind of nuts how long people can live without ever seeing the rings for themselves.

Most mobile game developers just want to attract whales. People who spend thousands of dollars in their app. They don’t care about everyone else because they don’t make any money off anyone else.

For some games, 20% of players spend $1800 or more a year. One of those people spent $90k.

So if your game sucks for everyone else, it’s not a big loss.

You could also argue that if even if you’re not self-hosting (i.e. renting server hardware from a 3rd party), your data is still in a siloed environment. While it may be accessible by law enforcement if you are targeted specifically, it’s unlikely to be dragnetted like the data collected from popular apps.

I remember thinking the interactive TV thing was dumb when I read it in middle school (early 2000s).

But now we have streamers who just sit there and say “mmm ice cream!” whenever someone gives them a dollar.

Oh. I was looking in the article itself.

Oh also I got an oxygen concentrator from the wholesale Goodwill where everything is sold by the pound. Paid $13 for a $800 medical device.

I use it to get my fireplace going. Works like a charm.

A failed 3D print. Some Pokémon missing a leg.

I’m on mobile. I legit don’t see it anywhere. I must be blind.

Better not lock eyes with Mr. Birthday Celebrations in this thread
