My BAC is on the rise lol
well, check it out, like I said, lots of math involved. Although with the fancy (and very expensive) glass cockpit setup with GPS and what not, it's all automatically done for you and not as fun
guys I have a hot take
I have a decent sized telescope with a motorized EQ mount. I couldn't afford a computerized mount so I have to manually polar align. It's a laborous job to do without a computer.
cheese is sometimes much better than chocolate
It's very important I get these measurments correct in order to get decent long exposure pics.
On top of that... My Right Ascension Axis is warped 😐 After about 20 seconds of exposure, star streaks will become very defined... it sux
You ever play No Man's Sky? @kyzercube
Does it drive you nuts how they just throw physics completely out the window?
I know of the game. I have never played it though.
I've seen one video about no man's sky by Internet Historian
Lol
They'll have two planets pretty much right next to each other and completely ignore the roche limit
oh and asteroid fields are everywhere, not orbiting anything in particular, just floating there
@Revaeroski Rouche limit is when the gravity tidal forces break up shit... layman term definition 😛
right, and there's a distance where that comes into play between two massive bodies, correct?
```Please be sure to read the announcements. There are rules there that must be followed. Do not impersonate the bot.```
@Revaeroski Yeah I get what you're saying. Basically, the 2 bodies should either be merging as one, or the dominant body should be breaking up the inferior mass into a ring.
yes, they completely ignore that in no man's sky
but its still weird
That gets on your nerves? Heh, lots of ignored physics gets on my nerves, especially in movies...
and black holes have an animation where you can see stuff within the event horizon
I'll forgive that they use them as worm holes in the game, but the fact that you see anything crossing the event horizon bothers me
Take the movie Gravity for example. 1: All the space craft are going East to West instead of West to East ( irl )
Elite Dangerous, even though most of it is procedurally generated, at least still follows the laws of physics, or at least attempts to
planets orbiting stars, stars sometimes orbiting other more massive stars, etc...
In Total Recal remake, the gravity elevator is messed up on so many levels it's pathetic. All the movie folk had to do was call a physicist. Irl if such an elevator existed, they'd be weightless the ENTIRE TRIP. and 2nd: You hear a lady on the PA saying " ETA 3 hours " and some change , when the actual trip irl would be 43 minutes.
I love watching Elite Dangerous YT vids 😄
I can get these games, but I just have no room on my computer. I need to buy another hard drive. My free space is maxxed out atm.
elite dangerous was quite fun with VR, but I stopped since they aren't going to support it going forward
I wanted to try that, but don't you need special equipment?
I've got a pretty capable computer, but no VR stuff.
I guess no gravity means "slow motion" as well lol
I'm going to be living in the poorhouse for the next month. I had to change jobs and am going to be exhausting all my reserve money. It's worth it though. By the Summertime I'll be very well off. For the time being though, I have to be reserved.
You'll want to continue to be frugal if you can, to be honest
@Revaeroski OMG they butchered the movie.
Biden isn't going to do the economy any favors
anyone that's watching the stock market is just waiting for the impending bubble burst
