Nice finding photo. I saw it from Austin last night (in Barton Hills) about 9:45 or so. (9:30-10:00 pm was when it was visible.) I did need binoculars to find it.
Steps to locate the comet: 1) Find the Big Dipper as in this photo. 2) Trace from where the ladle reaches the cup (the uppermost star in the 4-star cup of the dipper), diagonal across the cup (to the lowest star here), then go about twice as far. Then you have to scan with binocs to find it. In this photo, there are two stars in a line (below the dipper) that sort of point at the comet, I ended up using these to help me keep track of it.
Be aware that the position of the comet relative to the Dipper will change over the next week a bit. The comet will be gradually moving left and up, from our evening perspective.
Google Maps tells me that Representative Bill Zedler and S Thompson both have an office at 1100 South Congress in the 04. I do not know anything about them.
Maybe is was one of those Captcha things, you have to pick which squares have an elephant, but the trunk, ears, legs, and all sticks into almost all the squares a little bit.
Hedgehogs fired forward, not to the side, and indeed needed contact to explode. These could be fired before a sonar contact was lost when the ship went over the sub.
There were also throwers for normal depth charges that threw them off to the side, I think these were called K-Guns. These were normal depth charges that exploded based on depth/pressure.
I'm sorry, but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is going to come of this. This administration has done uncountably many things that are both true, and handled in the most clumsy way imaginable. With exactly zero consequences. FOX/Rush will get their spin going, and this is not even going to move the needle one iota with his base.
I have some SaltStick FastChews (electrolyte tablets), I find them at REI, that I eat if I cramp up. I don't get them as bad as it sounds you do, but I do get them sometimes. And tongue cramps suck.
This actually happened during WWII. Soon after the USA entered the war, the Germans sent some submarines to attack shipping on the east coast of the USA. They were devastating at first, partially because the merchants refused to turn off the lights, it was bad for business, and then the silhouettes of ships were easy to find and easy pickings.
That is my take. I am fine walking around outside without one, though I often have a buff around my neck which I can turn into a mask if needed.
I think the non-N95 masks do help protect you a little bit. It is not full protection, but better than nothing.
Yes, and also bright Sirius makes a nice triangle with the Moon and Venus. Thanks for getting me to get out and look, cause going outside is a complicated ritual these days.
One of the first things I realized once I started semi-isolation, was that I was using a LOT more paper towels than usual. Once I started to get into the routine of disinfecting stuff, for me that is a paper towel and some alcohol, and I will be doing this a lot, probably for months and months. Plus being home and eating at home all the time I use more. It is the most sanitary way to dry your hands after washing too. I looked at my towel stash, and it was obviously inadequate. So off to HEB I went!
Actually, this might be pretty important. Especially the keypad/touch pad you use to approve the transaction. Everybody else who has been through the line has touched that thing in the exact same place you do. And the virus lives relatively long on plastic surfaces. It is probably wise to consider ANY touch screen or keypad as covered in SARS-2/COVID virus for the time being. Anything you can avoid touching, ESPECIALLY something that lots of other people touch, is a very good thing. I have some e-touch gloves (not sure if that is the right name) which let you use touch screens while wearing them, I put these on when I went to the ATM (which I also assumed to be covered in this virus).
