I don't know. It's not "The Other Place." Here's hoping this place doesn't implode like all the others. Otherwise, making it up as I go 😅🙃
Born in 1991. There, that's my age-verification lol

I am an old, old man. For the last ten years I have had only one New Years resolution: to live long enough to take a dump on that evil bastard's grave.
Live for spite when all else fails.

Sir! Excuse me, SIR!?
Geology/rock nerds follow you! Don't be putting us in the impossible situation of choosing a figurative path vs. a literal path (getting your rocks off!)
Besides, us rock/mineral geeks have AT LEAST a 50% chance of simply getting your rocks off & running away with them 😝😈 💎

Please excuse typos and or incorrect terms though feel free to correct. Made this post one handed while helping feed 9 cats 🤦🤣

What's up with these water leaks though!? Isn't this the 2nd time in just over a year? I known they're dealing with extra crap due to...eh...politics. But what's up with that?
Still, much love to them! I just miss these images. All on theSDO site seem to end at Sept. 13
Note at top of the public website for Solar Dynamics Observatory. (A space based satellite-observatory that monitors the sun in multiple different wavelengths/frequencies of livht and magnetism. Data is also in 4K resolutions and far more detailed than mlst other easily publicly accessible solar monitoring websites.) The overlay notice describes how a water coolant line broke, and the water damaged servers that store image/video data for current, as well as historic/past data access. This is the 2nd time in just over a year this exact problem has damaged and knocked publicly available data offline...For geeks like with a hyperfixation of SDO imagery, this is infuriating. Other sources for this information DO exist and are publicly available, but have proven to be difficult and or too tedious to find the correct images one may be looking for (Like magnetogram data which after multiple hours of dead ends, broken links, or low quality options, I gave up looking for.) Much if this are my own personal gripes, but this is still inconvenient at best and denies the public access to fascinating and even usable/vital real-time information...Hopefully the next repairs to the water coolant lines are permanent this time. It could be days, weeks, even months before the sought after data becomes easily available again. Next image posted is the last images available on the SDO website and are quite out of date (September 13th, 2025) Latest available Colorized Megnetogram in 4K resolution. Outdated from September13th. These images show magnetic polarities that can clump up and concentrate, while tangling the magnetic field lines which manifest as cooler darker regions ("Sun Spots") and those fields concentrate unimaginable amounts of energy that can suddenly and catastrophically release if those lines of magnetism "snap" or "reconnect." We see these reconnection events as solar flares and their associated eruption clouds called Coronal Mass Ejections or CMEs. CMEs are primarily responsible for bringing visible displays of Aurora down to mid-latitudes (Central and even Sputhern US/Central Europe) The color scales are light green to deep blue for one polarity, and light yellow to deep red for the opposing polarity (I forget which colors are +positive or -negative) But the SDO magnetograms have amazing quality allowing users to zoom way into the active regions in question and see just how chaotic/complex any specific sunspots are...This tells public enthusiasts as well as emergency managers and space agencies how much risk a sunspot poses for larger solar flares which, while pretty for us Lower-48ers, is bad for people and tech up in space! There is way more to that and I likely could have explained better just what this image shows, but I digress... POINT: today is November 21st, and this magnetogram, the latest I can easily find, is from September 13th

I can't believe that this tent is so big that it covers the entirety of the GOP tent.

But somehow not big enough for queer people.

Really just a fucked up shaped tent.
