Name: Cygnus Loop
Constellation: Cygnus
Ahh, it's been two months!!!!
Cygnus Loop is a massive nebula complex, the apparent size of about 40 full moons. Technically, this picture is only of half the loop; the Eastern Veil Nebula is on the left, and Pickering's Triangle on the right. A bit of the Western Veil is visible at the bottom right.
The complex is so large that it does not have one specific discoverer. William Herschel generally gets the credit for the complex, though much of it's details, like Pickering's Triangle, were discovered photographically in the late 1800's. Still, the Veil's are easily visible, even in small telescopes.
The complex is a supernova remnant, left overs of a massive star that exploded tens of thousands of years ago. But the whole constellation of Cygnus is teeming with nebula, as it's right on the "rift" of the Milky Way. You could spend hours looking at it through a telescope, searching for nebula. For that reason Cygnus, along side Pegasus and Scorpius, are my favorite constellations.
What I love about the Cygnus loop is it's colors. They're highly separated in a way that almost looks fake (which is probably why ILNP named a nail polish after it). This is a characteristic of most remnants, but for whatever reason, Cygnus really stands out.

@Nudhul @J @sun It's hard to convince a newbie to do that. "Hey, make your own twitter just for you, and then put up with a bunch of bullshit because you don't know what you are doing and there are people who will try to ruin you over it." -

@c Use apple cider vingar. Flies are attracted to it (it smells like rotting fruit). Place it in a glass bottle with a narrow neck, they'll fly in and drown. -

@WashedOutGundamPilot @ChristiJunior @berkberkman @rlier23 @RealRaul @Type_Other @suquili I've experienced this behavior too. I think a lot of them have this idea that "if your are not overweight you are not happy" (I.E. they think you have an eating disorder, which is another thing I think is silly. We've pathologized watching your weight.) -

@Hoss @brigrammer @catmanmancat I wonder if truckers know about this, they could haul as many kilograms as they want if they stopped using pounds. -

@wgiwf @AngryWraith Sometime I wonder is if there is something else going on. Jews like to take credit for literally everything. It would be funny if "every single time" was really just inserting themselves into every single story. -

@AngryWraith @wgiwf I recently listened to an audio book on Jewish history. Something I was somewhat aware of was that their religion deliberately makes them outsiders (I've experience some of it first hand, such as refusing to eat near me because I'm not a Jew).
Something I was unaware of is the dynamics between Jews, Rabbis, and the Christian governments in Europe. The simple version of it is that Jewish communities were extremely oppressive, and not because of the Christians. The rabbis basically had the authority to kill or punish whoever they want in their community when breaking religious tenets, and the Christian governments would look away. Today if a Jew wants to break rabbinical code, there's no physical repercussion. But if a Jew were seen fraternizing with the goyim during this time? It could have very real consequences for him and his family.
I think the Christians were thinking that tolerating this practice would drive Jews into the church, and it did somewhat. The problem is that the Jews who remained Jewish were basically domesticated to be religious extremists, and the Jewish religion is already an extremely xenophobic one. The result is these people don't respect anyone or anything outside of themselves. If it can benefit them in anyway, then who cares who it hurts.
But I've also seen plenty of examples of Jews inserting themselves into the story, or demanding that someone or something is Jewish. Jews love to claim quantum mechanics, for instance, but almost every single part of it was developed by men who were closely tied to or actually Nazis. And I've even seen Jews claim piddly things they didn't invent, like the nicotine patch or video games. It's a very "supremacist" mindset, that nothing anyone else did is of any value until THEY personally did it, even if someone did it well before they did.
So I'm sure Jews were involved with or promoted corrosive things like tattoos, but it also would not surprise me to learn that they just made up that story just to seem more important than they are. -

At my first job, I worked for an independent delivery service near an international airport. One time this really fancy looking black car pulled up and this White guy, with blonde hair tied in a bun wearing a light blue Hakama (almost like this guy), gets out and opens the door for a Japanese couple (at least I think they were a couple... they were also in super formal clothing but of western style). He walks in with them, and in very stiffly worded instructions, has me send a letter to somewhere in Japan.
I have no idea what that was all about. I thought it was a prank at first.

@luithe @Shadowman311 "What's in there?"
"A black person?"
"Uh... A black person!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely within Chernobyl!?" -

@flux_the_cat I found the abstract. 30% of papers (out of 75) did their math wrong. -

I've been at a astrophysics conference for the last week. One of the speakers told a story about how he once published a paper showing that a lot of papers were basically doing math wrong (making up notation, using notation wrong, and then jumping to false conclusions based off that bad notation). He received so much hate that he decided he would never do that again.

"Nasa Scientist" = some guy who probably works at a university
Sticking nasa logos on your stuff is, like, stolen valor. -

@SaltyBlonde @RadixVerum @thefinn There is an entire industry for making fake Karen woke take downs to make women look stupid. Most of them are obviously fake. People will analyze the moon landing videos to death, pixel by pixel, and then fall for obviously stuff like this.
