SLS launch scrubbed. I wonder why they bothered to fuel the vehicle without a positive fix for the fuel connection issue that has been the problem all along. Smells of Go Fever, the mindset that killed Challenger 36 years ago.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuel leak will definitely be another Challenger- glad they finally admitted it. Even though there were no people why throw all that work/money away..NASA was pretty much defunded as I recall and the solution was to hitch a ride with the Russians.

you are better served with a good pair of binos. Fujinon 10x70s. And the current Tirion Sky Atlas and the three-volume Burnham’s, a most delightfully written primer on the night sky.

With a telescope, you need a good eyepiece or two. Big money right there. I built out my set of Naglers over a decade.

Ordering this today and I can totally start my bird/small animal watching too!

@Jimdamick gave me tips on sketching with charcoal and I'm going to take a class..he paints with acrylics but I like watercolor; want to find a class for that too.

Is it a demonic sigil? The thing on the bell tower looks like a thumbs up but could be a pineapple.

Edit: Just saw it again- I think he's giving us the finger.

I do not know to what you are referring. The post you quoted has no digit in body or link.

If you are referring to the coats-of-arms in the other thread, I see nothing that resembles a bell tower.

help me out here?

Mar-a-Lago..it's meaning. The highest (tallest) point of the club imo is the bell tower; it has a symbol on it. Yes I'm referring to the coat of arms comment.

@DIY-HP-LED hearing the info about Greenland's ice, they say it will raise sea level by 10 inches..how does that affect your island?

Not much, we will be high and dry for a long time. If the gulf stream gets fucked up and slams into Nova Scotia we could have palm tress growing here and New England and NY will be subtropical. All that fresh water might disrupt the oceanic heat conveyor system that keeps Europe warmer than North America. London England is far north of me and northern England is at around the same latitude as Labrador. I live around 46 degrees north, below the 49th, as do most Canadians. I live at the same latitude as southern France!

As I never referenced the building in ether post, you might understand my confusion. Please post a detail shot of the feature in question.
