I read that it's not the fruit's fault, but rather a reaction to the protein. My body thinks a protein in some fruits is pollen so it reacts. I think you can even test if it's a real food allergy by microwaving the fruit for a few seconds which can destroy the proteins. I can eat any cooked fruit, but certain raw ones drive me crazy.
Frankly, I’d rather read that nonsense than listen to all the pushback you all get when you try to clean things up. Let it go. It’s easy to read through.
I understand the confusion. You make me wonder if at that distance from the earth, the shadow would be really insignificant. Kind of like the shadow of a small bird flying overhead to us.
For comparison, the Webb is about a million miles away while the Hubble is a mere 340.
Thanks, man. I just bought a waaaay too expensive lens for myself (you’re only drunk and 59 once), and yesterday was the first time trying it out. The owl was probably 75 yards away and that was too far for any chance at sharpness. The heron was closer but I’m impressed with how well the lens handled it. For perspective, here’s a phone photo of the heron that was taken by a buddy standing next to me.
Went to Cambridge yesterday and though I was able to spot the snowy owl that’s wintering there, he was very shy and hid from his audience. Attached a couple others too.
Just catching up in the banter thread and sorry to hear of your troubles. Hopefully it’s passed. I had some back pain about five years ago and had an X-ray. They called me later and asked which side of my back hurt because I have an 8mm stone on the other side. Well, it was 8mm five years ago. It’s probably bigger than that now. My back pain then was totally unrelated. I guess one day it’ll have to be removed.
