So tired of shows that make their night episodes so dark that you can't see what is going on. Look, if you don't want me to see your show, just say so, or better yet, don't make it. I am just starting to give up and move on or stop watching. It is just not worth the frustration.
RE: @acarsdrama@live.acarsdrama.com
Fuuuuck!
Don't point bright lighty-things at flying thingys (bird, planes, supermen) !!!!

@WiredForFlight@squawk.mytransponder.com I so agree. I have had mixed feelings because I am not so sure of motivations now, but this mission has brought back some of the magic and excitement for me.

@Aut Is this is the beginning of an open version of ForeFlight? (cause that would be awesome!)
Replying to
@n8foo@macaw.social Yes! I have used these for projects, but not for a while. I still have the little hand-wrapper tool thingy around there somewhere. I love how wiki even has a picture of the horror-show that was the original production-use of wrapping. I am so glad I didn't have to do that much of it myself!

@me@social.taupehat.com Woah. Careful with that stuff. It is responsible for more deaths than almost any other substance on the planet. 😂
#Artemis: Right down the centerline of the reentry corridor.
Yeah, to all you space jockeys out there, that is what us noobs out here like to hear!

@Aut Well that would also be super cool. Would be nice to have some competition out there.

@ChanceyFleet Thank you for sharing this! I don't share often, but when I do, I try to write useful alt-text for the images I include. I have wondered if it really matters, but I am so glad to hear that it does!
A couple of funny things from the @Artemis@mastodon.social return.
1) "We have 4 green seats". Someone in the house (not me) might have said, "They are all sick?". Me: "No, I think that was the status"
2) Asking astronauts who have literally just flown the to fucking moon, "Did you remember to push the button"?

@caseyliss Used to have plex but switched to Jellyfin when I wanted to add remote access. It is working well enough that I will stick with it unless something changes.
