I really want to see something come of this and I have a sliver of hope that it will, but I'm too tired to get excited about it.

Damn, we really are on the bad timeline. I want my figs and orgies

The whole south is a joke. Louisiana elected a racist shit cop whole people thought was badass cause he'd make some little gravy seal news clips calling out gangs.

You know I'd glady share a drink with you in that day. It'd mean that there's still some hope left in this world.

I've heard it was faked, but NASA wanted the footage to be convincing so they filmed it on the moon lol

Whoa, never knew I share a birthday with the Gygax.

I'm reading Way of Kings right now, as well as back through the Harry Potter Series (just finished POA). Way of Kings is amazing.

The Bobiverse books are so damn good, read them last year

I hope this isn't like the beer pods they installed in Cleveland for when the browns win a game. Those didn't get use for a very long time lol

These are good for anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. I can do one for the Southern Hemisphere as well, if there's enough interest. Or if someone in the Southern Hemisphere would like to put one together I can sticky it

I'm working my way through "Way of Kings" right now. I haven't had much time for reading lately, so it's going slow, but the book is fantastic.

lol, Io certainly isn't winning any beauty pageants, but it's a really interesting moon.

Mine was the Elric Series by Michael Moorcock. It's the only book I've ever returned. I went back and tried to re-read the series years later and they are such a jumbled mess of things happening for no reason just to progress a plot that I couldn't stand them.

Thank you, I use liftoff as well, but posted it from my desktop.

Sounds like something SETI would do. Putting a giant "We are here" sign over the Earth, lol

Good luck, I really hope you enjoy them. I wanted to enjoy them so badly, but I can't stand his writing.

Thanks!

Like some gorgeous Eldritch portal

Yeah, it'll never be this dramatic, but you'll be astounded by how many stars, and how large they seem, when you get to a dark site. Even getting to a Bortle 5 location like I live in and letting your eyes properly adjust to night vision, the amount of stars is pretty spectacular. Not sure where you live, by check out a site like DarkSkyMap and you may be surprised to find some areas with less light pollution not too far from you.

Love the UI, however when I go to another community from the homepage I cannot get it to go back to homepage (without clicking the Lemmy.world banner top left). The back button changes the URL to the previous page, but the page itself stays on whatever community I opened.
