The future of warfare is going to be drones shootings at drones protecting carrier drones that are trying to bomb civilian drone factories with mini drones.RT: https://poa.st/objects/e2800820-e187-4c09-8abb-7822d8f255a9

@nigger @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @ceo_of_monoeye_dating I think private schools used to be the better option, back when they were more exclusive. Now that basically anyone can go to them, it's made them a dumping ground for problem children.

@Shadowman311 @matty @Dudebro @Shlomo "You don't understand, I'm pro white, that means I use dishonest framing to cry for people who hate me, and hate people who usually agree with me. I'm not a contrarian, not at all."

@Shadowman311 I wonder what the results would be if it were a basketball game instead. Or a baseball game. Or a dog contest. These are the real studies people should be doing.

@karna That's an amazing result. Great Job!I want to start doing Deep space imaging again, but my telescope is currently set up for planetary. Once Jupiter settles down, I will switch back to doing that.

It works with any words. While Nigger is funny, I can do "Trump -glove" and it works. Even "Trump -Minnesota" gave just results on Trump with no AI results.RT: https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/681645028396769290/entities/urn:activity:1862347154941546496

@karna Data goes as fast as you can get it. I usually I aim to get something between 150 and 200 fps, though I've heard some people say that frame rate is not as important as good observing conditions, and that there is diminishing returns past 30 fps.Because Jupiter rotates so fast (around 1 degree every 2 minutes) I try to only take a video for 3 minutes, max, and then I stack only the best 15% of the images from that run. Because the best images usually come from a few single moments of really good seeing, and because I'm aggressively selecting only the best frames, the rotation isn't much of a problem for single images, especially for a color camera.The hard part is when you want to add filters. There is a different telescope I am working on at the moment that uses a mono camera, and they want to have rgb filters plus an IR long pass filter (ir is less affected by bad seeing) take images. So that's 10 to 12 minutes of imaging. If all filters go for that time, Jupiter rotates around 6 degrees, which is noticeable. When you try to line the images from each filter, the image gets really blurry.The "trick" that I haven't managed to get working yet is to de-rotate the image, so that all the images line up. The best software solution for that currently is a program called WinJUPOS.

@King_Noticer I'm nominating Yuki because no one has played Enchanted Arms. you should nominate her because you can recruit a pizza monster to be in your party.

@Twoinchdestroya @Eiswald @alessmussolini88 It's a mixed problem for them. Some try to organize, and constantly have the carpet pulled out from under them. Others don't see the point in organizing, because "they've made it" and so don't believe they need to organize. Most are just sort of oblivious to the problems and want someone else to fix it for them. I don't think it's a problem specific with WN, because if this were happening in China, I think the Chinese would be similarly stuck. The real issue is that positions of power were captured by hostile forces long before any of this started, and most people were oblivious to it.
