Depends. If it's an online game like Splatoon, I would buy digital. If not, then I'm leaning towards physical these days.

Oh okay, so you mean the light frames. Got it.
Though, I still don't understand what you mean by "registering the light frames to the comet itself". I have 140 frames of the comet (albeit not in the same position since I don't have an astro tripod), and I imported them all into the light frame stack. That's what I'm supposed to do, or do you mean a more specific step than that?

Thanks again!

Thanks! I did try with DSS afterwards to only slightly better results? I'll give Siril a try too. What do you mean by "register the light to the comet"? Is it a Siril specific setting?

That's extremely good for a phone camera I assume. I did try with my own camera a few days ago. I originally asked because weather conditions in my area wasn't great for a while, and I don't know what settings to start off with. I did my best at stacking and editing them with Affinity, although not the greatest, I did manage to capture something haha.

Edit: camera specs
Fujifilm X-S10 + Sigma 18-50
ISO640, F/2.8, 5 sec x 140

I see. Thanks for the answer!

I'm new to astro, is it necessary to stack so much photos to see this comet? Whats the difference between single shot and stacked in this case? Thanks!

 

Focal length range, Optical quality, Size & weight. Pick two.

It's not just communicating, it's also stuff for general living, like recognizing road signs, paying bills, dealing with government paperwork, ordering food in restaurants, etc. They won't always have an English translation beside it, nor do they have an obligation to have it. Same goes for people too.

Say for example, a Japanese just showed up in your hometown, knowing not a lick of English, and planning to live here long term. I'm sure people in your hometown are more than willing to help, but how much stuff in your general life is in English? Surely you can't expect someone to be able to help them around 24/7, and with a language barrier too.

You gotta know that not everything is going to accommodate for you in foreign places. OP might be able to do well enough since people in Denmark probably speak English well in general. But if you want to truly know the people, their culture, or even form deep connections with some, you have to do some work, and language is a first big step.

Although this isn't quite relevant before finishing the main game, be sure to pick up both the DLC once you're finished.
Both DLCs are fantastic standalone stories, super rich in content they could even beat some full priced games. You could play the DLCs before finishing the main game (and there is an additional game mechanic introduced in Blood and Wine), but on a first run I would still recommend playing it after to not get distracted and take away the impact of the main story.

 

I've been holding on to this thought for quite some time and don't know where to share this. Too long and not random enough for a shower thought, so here it is I guess.

Car manufacturers really like their LEDs to be as fancy as possible lately, and more and more turn signals on cars have this "sequential lighting" show they do. Basically, the type of turn signal I have a problem with is the one that gradually fills up the turn signal light bar, then turns off everything when the bar is full, i.e. Audi cars in this video

IMO, not only does the animation feel clunky, I also think its a safety issue, albeit a relatively minor one. The point of indicator lights is to tell other drivers your intentions. They should be fully noticeable the moment you turn on your turn signals, and should not be halfway lit first. It probably would also introduce a delay in driver response, but I have no scientific evidence to back this claim up, so take this as just my opinion.

Instead, they should do it the opposite way where the light bar fully lights up first, then gradually shrinks. Or the Mazda way of turning on quickly then dimming down slowly like in this video. Or the combination of these two, where the light bar has a gradient end that tapers away when shrinking. (Seriously, having a gradient or a gradual dim is so much more elegant. Why don't more cars do this?)

Okay rant over. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I'm sure those cops are still on the job and only got a slap on the wrist though.

Driver of the day Oscar Piastri well deserved! Superb defense against Charles Leclerc!

I feel so bad for Checo. Losing the podium and the race at the last laps must be heartbreaking.

Offline storage of Spotify music plus some local music files, bloated messaging apps, and then the majority would be photos and videos. Having cloud storage like Google One and a NAS helps, but having local files is also good when signal isn't great.

 

Asphalt used on road surfaces are byproducts from fossil fuel. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuel to combat climate change, are there any good alternatives for road surfaces? I don't think I've ever heard of a viable replacement of asphalt in the works, or even a plan to replace it in any environmental discussions before. At least, not enough for me to notice.

Extented question would be: what are some products derived from fossil fuel that are used in everyday life, but still lack viable alternatives you don't see enough discussions about?

 

I've been using the 6a since the start of this year, and alongside it Accubattery to remind me to unplug my phone whenever it reaches 85% charge.

I know Accubattery stats are just an approximation, and I've only been using this phone for half a year, but still quite amusing to see the battery health go up instead of dropping.

 

I was so confused when I was seeing posts 4 years old. "Old" isn't even supposed to be an option lol.

Tested with other options, seems like TopWeek becomes TopDay, TopMonth becomes TopWeek, TopYear becomes TopMonth, and TopAllTime becomes TopYear.

So for now, you can enjoy seeing the creation of the Fediverse and read posts in reverse with this hidden option.
