It really is a beauty. A 6 inch schmidt-cassegrain design, fully motorised, built in computer system with over 2000 objects, and a host of eyepieces and filters, just need to get myself a mains extension and some clear nights. It's one of these:

Do those 2000 objects include sexy neighbours with an aversion to curtains?;)

Mr. Charlie 12-04-2015 08:53 AM

Haha. I'll program it in!

That feeling when you've had the same car battery since 2008. Even though you know you should replace it, and you've seen the read-out that says its charge is low, you don't, because you've never had a problem with it, and you want to continue living on the edge. Sure, one day your car isn't going to start when you need it to, but why temp fate at this point by changing it out? Run that sucker into the ground, I say.

Is that... is that one of those telescopes that can actually look into space? If so, then I may or may not beat you to death and steal it. Nothing personal.

Huh? What does this have to do with looking at space?

I'm assuming it has a computer with preprogrammed co-ordinates.

Say you wanna look at the Andromeda galaxy, even under the darkest skies it's a faint object and tricky to locate. Ordinarily you'd locate the constellation Pegasus, look to it's upper left-most star, then go 3 constellation stars to the right, then go up around 2 degrees, then look slightly to the right, and the Andromeda galaxy will be in that area of the sky. Finding it with a powerful telescope is even more difficult because it focuses on a tiny area of the sky and so every movement is exagerated.

With a computerised system, you simply type in the number for the Andromeda galaxy on the key pad, and press Go To, and a few seconds later it's there in your eyepiece.

Carpe Mortem 12-05-2015 08:10 AM

Damn dawg, nice toy. We have a Celestron Nexstar also, though not sure which model. Actually, it's technically the other person's. Actually, all his stuff is mine.

I have a telescope and don't remember how much it cost me.

Have you checked Uranus for Klingons yet?

Mr. Charlie 12-05-2015 09:02 AM

My bottom's pretty clean. I'm an avid wiper.

TFW real musicians come over and you find out your guitar isn't shitty, you as a player are.

Don't be glum, pal. Good is subjective.

On the contrary. I aleady knew that I suck. I'm glad my guitar apparently doesn't.

The Batlord 12-08-2015 04:37 PM

TFW you download an album, and the asshat uploader didn't number the tracks, so now I have to manually rename every single one just so I can listen to it in the correct sequence.

I should not have to put this much effort into listening to a god damn WHITE CHAPEL album!

I use Mp3tag for all my tagging duties. Usually makes **** like that much easier and faster.

Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)

If it makes you feel any better I can't really play guitar either.

Horror 12-09-2015 12:40 AM

That feeling when you're sitting in your Mom's car and one of her workers calls in because, her grand kid is being taken away by CPS and your Mom for the first time in your life says I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most because, she was addicted to horrible ****.

Okay that was a little long.

No just fat.

Mr. Charlie 12-10-2015 02:19 PM

That feeling when you have no work for 4 weeks. Woohoo. Going down to Oxford for a week on Monday. Woohoo.

Black Francis 12-10-2015 02:42 PM

Enjoy your holiday break Charlie. :)

TFW you reach for your last beer and realize that it's empty...

Zhanteimi 12-10-2015 09:28 PM

TFW your daughter thinks she's going to win by casting Chandra's Ignition, targeting her Blightsteel Colossus. You respond by turning her Blightsteel Colossus into a 1/1 frog with no abilities until the end of turn!

RoxyRollah 12-11-2015 07:23 AM

Say whut??

Plankton 12-11-2015 08:07 AM

He's a Wizard.

Zhanteimi 12-19-2015 04:16 AM

TFW you buy Star Wars tickets for all six of your daughters before you've even had a chance to see it. :)

The Batlord 12-19-2015 05:52 AM

**** that. Children are great and all (or so I hear), but they can see Star Wars the day after you've seen it yourself. Alone.

Zhanteimi 12-19-2015 06:51 AM

Hehe. Nah, they're going first because (1) we love them and think about what they want above our own interests, and (2) we're busy with the whole work thing until the 26th.

When I go, though, on the 28th, I'm taking just my wife. The kids can stay home and watch the baby.

DwnWthVwls 12-19-2015 09:17 AM

TFW you pour bad milk into the last of your cereal.

TFW you've actually swallowed some before realizing it is bad.

Thought you were supposed to be a good cook? How can you claim that if you can't even tell when milk is expired?
