The Flood / Small Space Thread :3 (An expanding journey!)
« on: May 11, 2015, 11:00:43 PM »
Just a thread about astronomy and such with sites and other things that can give a small interest to astronomy to you guys. I'm bored, so let's start this off, shall we? I will provide you guys with some sites (space exploration related that provide pictures and info to space objects), some software to help map the stars so you can one night look up and say "Oh, that's Jupiter right above me!", and a few other things.

Space Websites
NASA
SPACE
ESO
SpaceX
Astronomy

Here, you'll find plans for future space flight missions. What you see here is the future of flight and technology in an ever evolving state. From plans for many types of missions to be announced, to the phases of the moon, these websites do give a good understanding of what we are capable of. Just a quick look around can take you to new stuff you may have never seen before.

Software
Stellarium
NEAVE Interactive Sky Map

This is free software you can download on your computer. Useful with a telescope. What this software is is essentially a tool to help you find Messier Objects in the night sky, planets, and even stars. Reliable and easy to use, Stellarium is a great tool for anyone to use. It comes with many useful tools to aid in planning and the like. Feel free to give it a download and mess around with it.
NEAVE is a website that holds a skymap right on your browser. Really simple and all you really need is where you live. Skip through times to see where objects will be during certain times of days and such. If you don't feel like downloading something, use this. It's simple and nicely made.

Some Good Reads
The Martian
An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth

Videos
This is the beginning of the Crash Course! series you may have heard of. Really informative videos of the solar system and more. It's not a completed series yet, but it is still in progress.
Here is a playlist basics of operating a telescope from a Youtube channel that helped me quite a bit. This guy teaches you what you should look for, what can suit your needs, and even explain some things you may not understand. A little cheesy, but still really helpful stuff.

Interested in a Telescope?
Telescopes and much, much more!
A little bit of research goes a long way, be sure to research what type of telescope you'd want for your needs. Hell, you don't need a telescope to enjoy the night sky, binoculars do well, too! This website is dedicated to amateur and experienced astronomers. You'll find all types of stuff here. I recommend an equatorial mount, a little bit of a hassle to keep, but worth it, since the main purpose of it is to counter the Earth's rotation and be able to track objects easy. Please note, doing this as a hobby can be expensive, but the results are well worth the cost if you're really into this.

Misc...
Spot the Station!
NASA has a nifty little thing where you can spot the ISS with a little help from them. All that's needed is a phone/email and NASA will send alerts occasionally to you so you can look up and see the ISS above you. Comes with instructions to read the directions on where to find the ISS and how to do it with tips. Try and challenge yourself to find it.


Well, honestly, so far this is all I can think of. Any ideas to add on this thread would be appreciated and I can update it. Right now I'm a little busy with some school work, but hey, hope this helps a bit in wanting a little more knowledge of stuff. I plan on expanding this much more as time goes by.

People shouldn't be forced to change their eating habits. We are omnivores, it's something we have done for ages.

I don't know if it's because i'm a teenager or some shit, but I can eat a fuck ton of food and nothing happens, I don't get sick or fat.
Don't worry, your metabolism will slow down soon, and all that food will catch up to you.
Don't listen to cas, I'm 19 and the fast food hadn't caught up to me.

Serious / "White Appreciation Day" backlash at restaurant
« on: May 11, 2015, 12:46:13 AM »
So a Mexican owner of a BBQ joint wants to make a 'White Appreciation Day" in his restaurant, in which whites receive a 10 percent discount off their purchase.

Quote
"We have a whole month for Black History Month," Antillon told the outlet. "We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans."

He faced bomb threats over this, but still continues to do the event. Seriously, why the fuck are people getting offended by this shit? White people can't get a fucking day of appreciation while minorities can get months? Seriously, it's something HE wants to do, what's wrong with that?
