    My 10th grade history teacher would occasionally say "damn it". My auto mechanic instructor at vo-tech had a sailor's mouth.

    Generally, no. I'm usually quite relaxed and maintain low stress levels.

    Heights, riding in passenger seat, and mirrors in dark rooms. I use to be afraid of getting shots at the hospital, but I've gotten a lot better in the last several years.

    I can barely handle the spinning teacup ride. lol. I usually get a funnel cake and throw darts at balloons.

    general Music preference!

    Phosphor replied to Zaten's topic in Media Discussion

    I love classic rock and some older country music. Not a fan of rap or pop music, but there are a few songs I like from that genre.

    Small engine repair was one of my hobbies for a long time, until I worked at a shop for several years. Yeah, that caused me to lose interest in it. I tend to engage in my hobbies in cycles to avoid that. I may quit one for a while, but I always return.

    Some strengths: Mechanical skills, good with electronics, patience, well balanced Some weaknesses: I don't multi-task well. I'm also an introvert, tho I will become talkative if the topic is interesting. My drawing skills are pretty much limited to sketches of what I can see.

    I'm not very religious but I do believe there is a god. I describe myself as a Classical Deist.

    More Mars images. The humidity was crazy high. I had to keep the fan on full blast to keep the telescope from fogging up and run off the mosquitoes. Imaged with Celestron C8 and ZWO ASI224MC camera

    I watch quite a few youtube videos and play some classic games when the weather isn't good or if I'm exhausted from work. Otherwise, I like being outside. If it's not too hot, I'm at the pistol range. At night, astronomy is my prime hobby.

    There's always a fan in my room. Can't sleep without one.

    I can run fast enough if my life is in danger. Otherwise, I'm not that fast. I do enjoy walking tho.
  15. Phosphor
    I imagine I will probably be about the same in 1-2 years. I'm very fortunate to have an awesome career. My astronomy and electronics collection will probably grow some more.

    Eh, this is fairly close. I've been pretty libertarian for quite a while. I was a Neoconservative when I was a teenager.

    I haven't been on an airplane yet. I'm terrified of flying. I might be able to ride a helicopter as long as it hovered like 20ft above the ground. lol

    There's something about the last few hours before sunrise. It's cool, the sky is transparent, and the Milky Way really stands out depending on the time of year. If I wake up early or have trouble sleeping, I'll go outside and enjoy the stars.

    technology Internet Speeds

    Phosphor replied to CosmicSpark's topic in Media Discussion

    For online gaming, it's a bad thing. For other tasks, I don't really notice the latency.

    Ping: 635ms, Download: 17.62mbps, Upload: 1.10mbps The ping is high because I have satellite internet. It's pretty much the only option for my area, tho it does work well.

    My current gaming PC is a Dell Optiplex 755 tower. It was pretty sweet back when I did some upgrades in 2011 but now, it is aging. I am wanting to buy a new gaming PC and use my old one to process my astronomy videos and images. My laptop is too slow for that kind of stuff. Specs: Intel Core2Quad Q9650 3.0GHz; Radeon HD7700; 8GB RAM; 500MB SSD; 3TB HDD; 800W Power supply; USB 3.0 card; Windows 10 64-bit

    Acrophobia: I had it bad as a child/teenager. I could get on the roof of my house, but getting down was always difficult. Looking down from the roof wasn't great, but if I made the mistake of looking up, vertigo would kick in. I've gotten much better but I still don't ride anything at theme parks and such.

    Gummy worms, squirt cheese, life savers, and Skor/Heath bars are some of my favorite snacks. My most recent favorite is Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn. That stuff is so good!

    About once a week in the spring/summer. It's too hot for facial hair. lol.

    Mars 7/29/2018 The sky was a bit hazy but I was still able to image. There is a bright spot in the center right of the planet. This might be another dust storm. First 3 images are Near IR. Mars' rotation can be seen by cycling thru these. Fourth image is blue light. Last is violet light. The polar ice cap and clouds really shine in the shorter wavelengths. I wasn't able to do any UV imaging. Conditions weren't favorable, so I had to use my smaller rig. Enjoy! Telescope: Celestron C8 / Camera: ZWO ASI178MM
