@72Retro @exQUIZitely Gorf will always be on of my favorites. Many quarters died trying to stop the aliens. I have the mame file on my Atari My Arcade.

I’m not an expert, or anyone you should ever take financial advice from.
I don’t think this is priced in. $ASTS

While everyone was glued to the U.S. and Iran contest in the Middle East, a wild Cold War-style cat and mouse game was quietly being played in the North Atlantic. In April, the UK MoD confirmed that it was involved in a month-long hunt, tracking a Russian submarine package in the GIUK Gap. We're talking at least three hulls - an Akula-class and two ultra-secret GUGI-class spy subs - most likely mapping critical deep-sea infrastructure. 1/2 🧵

@GoKineticFiber @CNET Very nice. Hey @CNET feel free to test speeds this company provides outside of an urban area. Go download a multi gig game at these speeds.

@BlazeBinges I love the soundtrack from this movie.

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@bestofStarTrek It was good, but you had to be there.

However, Klingon fight at the beginning still epic.

@Fury42069 @GoKineticFiber Because you need it for this.

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@Fury42069 @GoKineticFiber Their techs come out to fix the constant issues and say “why don’t you have fiber?” Lol I usually just say I don’t know. I’ll play your silly game why don’t I have fiber.

Techs are great, their planning people suck and there’s zero transparency.

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@Fury42069 @GoKineticFiber No. Because their “all fiber network” really means “fiber everywhere we have fiber, otherwise suck it”.

@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

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@Latenitemusic1 But what’s it?

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@SandyofCthulhu Such a great game. Sometimes it was a long walk back to get someone resurrected.

@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.

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.

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

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@isastroatelier @freedomfeens Details on your all sky camera please

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@jaume_zapata What the setup on the camera you’re getting this video from?

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

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

[MigratoryCoconut @MigratoryCocont]

@dwculp Pretty awesome. I can hear those floppy drives spin up.
