Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Still, the first thing I saw tonight was Pleiades and it was amazing. I had no idea my binoculars could show me that much. Pleiades was just a smudge of light to the naked eye and when I looked through the binoculars all of the stars looked as bright as those in Orion's belt.
While trying to find Cassiopeia I looked at a section of sky that looked pretty blank to me because it wasn't dark enough but through the binoculars there were hundreds of stars!
And the two bears are difficult for me to see earlier at night because they're behind my house. After midnight they rise above my house and I can see them.
Considering my reaction after seeing Pleiades I am wondering what will happen when I buy a 10 inch reflector. There is this farm about two hours away that hosts Star Parties, too. It's the closest and darkest area in New York if you don't want to drive up to the Adirondacks, so I am excited about what I can see there that is obscured in my light polluted area.
I hope we find an inhabited planet full of super advanced aliens that have "evolved beyond" the need for war so they have no weapons and we invade the HELL out of them and force them to show us how to duplicate their technology.
I mean I am glad that there are people who find space stuff interesting, because someone needs to work with satellites and they may as well enjoy their job. I just don't like them getting their sci-fi nerd fluids all over the real sciences and I kind of resent them grubbing for public money that could go to the real sciences.
The Fiberone commercial where the guy keeps coming back in different disguises to eat fiberone bars over and over again is hilarious. Not because of his antics, but because those Fiberone bars are -dangerous-
They will clean your pipes GOOD. He eats like 8 of those things in that commercial. He would be shitting blood for 2 weeks.

I look forward to having my personal green servants.
Not if they've advanced to go-go boot technology.
Yeah orbital astronomy is at least useful, even if it's boring.
Everything further out is both boring and useless.
i would murder that nasally wench if i could
Nobody wants to touch your junk, junk
Man, I am pretty desperate. I might with a surgical glove on.
Working for NASA was boring. Working space stuff for the Air Force is boring. Studying astrophysics? Boring.
boring boring boring
chances are they will be so advanced they will have no need or desire to enslave us.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer

yeah, that brushing the teeth with a bottle of jack part, pretty kinda gross.
