I loved going to Maine every summer to see my dads family growing up. One reason was the ability to see so many stars.
I worked at a bank in college and the nearby subway came and made a deposit every day. Had to count tons of their cash and it always smelled so strongly of Subway. I haven’t gone to one since. The smell grosses me out so much.
the observatory at the top of the Big Island Hawaii was a spiritual experience for me. highly recommend
we were at Glacier NP week before last which is pretty close to the black area in NW Montana on that map, but we had cloudy skies at night. One of our hikes though was to the top of Huckleberry Mountain, where a lady lives during the summer keeping an eye out for fires and she said the sky on clear nights is incredible. pic for reference
Took me a while, but I convinced my friends in college we should stop ever eating there because you could just smell that weird Subway smell for hours afterwards.
One thing I want to take my kids to do is go camping up around Black Mesa, OK when there is a significant astronomical event happening. I was in southeast Utah earlier this year camping and the night skies were unbelievable.
Based purely on my own experience I'm surprised that March, April, and May are on the less common side. Every group of friends/classmates/co-workers/children I've ever had has disproportionately had birthdays in those months. I always just assumed people like to fuck more in the summer.
Mentioned it before here but I've camped and hunted a few times in one of those black dots. Night sky looks a lot like this with your naked eye.
Majority of my friends have birthdays from Aug 19th through Dec 1 so anywhere from Thanksgiving to Valentines Day babies.
pretty sure you can rent these lookout towers through the national parks service. Can’t remember if I saw that here or elsewhere.
I always thought Chrome was the IE killer; it was the Firefox killer really. Crazy. If I’m not mistaken Microsoft put out Zune right about the same time its IE market share plunged too. Oops.
I honestly forgot Edge existed. I have IE on my work computer because certain Oracle applications only work in IE. Other modules within Oracle require us to use Chrome or Firefox. It’s extremely frustrating
Crunchy cheetos seem pretty dense in a small bag. Not sure if I’m buying that when Fritos check in at 19 with a similar composition and bag size by weight.
The new edge that runs the chromium engine is actually pretty dope, can even run chrome extensions in it
It’s amazing to me that iOS is only around 15%. Feels like everyone I know has an iPhone. Also never even heard of sybian.
