Find the comet in the picture.

 

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is near Earth right now, and the last time it was here was 50000 years ago. It has a slightly green coma.

Start of not so great new year.  Mom passing away right in between X-Mas and the New Year.  Improper handling of her estate by her other half.  And now a completely shattered left elbow (surgery/plate/screws/reconstruction) just over a week ago.  Going to be in a cast for 5/6 months along with all the physio afterwards.  Making time with my retro computer systems and gaming next to impossible --- AARRGGHH!!!

Inizio di un nuovo anno non eccezionale. La mamma muore proprio tra Natale e Capodanno. Gestione impropria del suo patrimonio da parte della sua altra metà. E ora un gomito sinistro completamente frantumato (chirurgia/placca/viti/ricostruzione) poco più di una settimana fa. Sarò ingessato per 5/6 mesi insieme a tutta la fisioterapia successiva. Passare il tempo con i miei computer retrò e giocare quasi impossibile --- AARRGGHH!!!

Torrax.. intanto condoglianze per tua madre.. e coraggio per quello che verrà.. spero anche che tu ti riprenda presto dall'infortunio.. Per il resto.. posso solo dirti che non ho mai tempo per anche i nostri retro-gioielli, per vari motivi.. ma penso sempre che per la nostra passione (i computer retrò) arriverà sicuramente il momento! chi può farci del male? niente!😉

Look at the size of that thing!

I have been growing out my hair for three years now.  An old gf asked to see what it looks like, and when I sent her the pic she says, "I can't believe it's so long!"  I told her, "If I had a nickel for every time I heard that," and she quickly replied "You'd be in debt."

Everytime this year that they say a storm is coming our way, it goes around us. Would love a good all-day n' all-night storm.

Last night the USA sent a snow storm to Canada for a change. :) 

We got a bunch of snow and something very odd, Lightning and thunder in a snowstorm.

We would get those occasionally where I grew up, about an hour from the Canadian border.  They are awesome.

Ha, I've ridden my bike through that very intersection many times.  The cross street is Howard Lane, and there's a greenbelt that dumps out right near that intersection, then I usually take Metric down to Parmer Lane to get to Walnut Creek Park.  I do think it odd how many roads in Austin change names like this at an intersection.  Here it is on a map:

You can see the southern portion of the greenbelt trail at the top of the image where it crosses Thermal.

1000 l = 1 m³ of water has a mass of 1000 kg = 1 metric ton and freezes at 0°C.

All we need to know. 🙂
