I took the stacked fit from ASIAir and processed in SIRIL: cropped, extracted background, photogrammatic color correction, and deconvolution, and finally a asihn histogram stretch.

 

Mount: iOptron CEM40 Telescope: Nexstar 8SE @ f/6.3 Camera: ASI183MC Pro Control: ASIAir Pro

Live stacked with 78 three minute subs. I binned the subs 2x2 to reduce oversampling with the IMX183 chip's tiny pixels.

Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn't known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

It would take away a lot of the zing... But it's cooking, you do you!

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

Well, you could have bought the 3DO like me. Three times more expensive, infinitely worse games. Although Gex was a pretty great platformer.

This is the most skin crawling game in the thread. In VR it's super creepy, the voices are just downright harrowing.

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don't spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

No. If it's sticking you're generally cooking too cool. Fast sear followed by a slower roast.

Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn't a man's progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife's infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.

Towards your actual question, in the US it's not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.

Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can't have an abortion like the woman if she doesn't want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.

Get it right, Philistine :p

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you're going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That's the point though isn't it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

Correct, I got my account invite from The Screensavers show with Kevin Rose. They were giving them out randomly to viewers.
