Could be worse, we could live in one of those civilizations with a fixed 365 day year. That's why you can't trust those elites and their calendar systems, gotta get up before sunrise and see what constellation the sun is rising in. Except that drifts too.

Alternately we could move to Iran.
>The modern Iranian calendar is currently the official calendar in Iran. It begins at the midnight nearest to the instant of the vernal equinox as determined by astronomic calculations for the Iran Standard Time meridian (52.5°E or UTC+03:30). It is, therefore, an observation-based calendar, unlike the Gregorian, which is rule-based.

Then the calendar will still move around relative to the equinox, but if you're lucky enough to live through a crazy dictator, he may rename all your months:

Dark matter is dumb. I like the idea that it's actually just the recently discovered "cosmic web," which is comprised of very cold, and diffuse gas that doesn't give off any radiation because of how cold it is. As for what dark energy is, I dunno.

Some of it could be. But most of the dark matter has to be something other than atoms, or you don't predict the right power spectrum for the cosmic microwave background

and you don't predict the right ratio of elements in the primordial universe

I assume less than you do though, you are assuming that her taste equates to he being interested in you and a myriad of other things that would have her marry you. I assume nothing but only go by what the character was written as being.

OOP Miku? The theory that all Miku are unique and a separate program or something? It makes more sense given that she is a program but I don't like it still.

>We don't fall in love with people themselves, we do with our perception of them.

Falling in love with a character is fine, it's saying she is your wife and changing that character itself that is the issue.

>It's impossible to know what the creator really intended when we only see a small facet of her.

Exactly, so all one can go by is the facet that is actually shown and not make garbage up, or else you start having the character be something completely different which is more likely to go against the creator than just accepting the character for what it is.

>>321
If people kept it to themselves then fine, I don't care. But when people bring it up and talk about it and mention how it's their anniversary with x character and how they are going on a date and then putting a bunch of their own opinions out as her thoughts and actions that it is an issue. If you keep it to yourself and never mention the fact that you are butchering characters then fine. But they don't.

How much of the stars can you see from where you live? For me, the cutoff is about magnitude 2.9 (pic related, Uranus excluded). Only a few constellations have enough stars visible to be recognizable.

Do you have any favorite websites for figuring out what the objects you're seeing in the sky are? I used
https://www.fourmilab.ch/yoursky/
for the OP pic; it's an old website, but the new ones I find in a quick search don't seem much improved. It's very useful to be able to adjust the brightness cutoff for the stars displayed, or unless you live in the middle of nowhere you can end up with a sky map so dissimilar to your own sky that you can't find anything.

>i wonder how easy it is to dox someone with these

I tried it on my own image by adjusting parameters until I got the original image back and was able to get the original latitude very accurately (5 arcseconds off) but, as you might expect, was not so accurate on the longitude (4 degrees off). But the longitude could have been found more precisely if I had generated the image immediately before posting it. Time randomization and delay between generating and posting can be somewhat defeated and if you include the moon and planets in the image, but I used the moon and planets and was still 4 degrees off. If you're paranoid, it's best not to enter your latitude or longitude more precisely than you're willing to publish. I personally set the latitude/longitude to a nearby city (San Francisco). Pic related were the coordinates I reconstructed.

reminded me that this exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird#Astro-Inertial_Navigation_System

also in ww2 they used little wooden mechanical flight simulators combined with planetariums to practice celestial navigation

also i believe that ballistic missiles and ballistic missile submarines can still use celestial navigation just incase that GPS is exploded

Thought I'd try this again since I'm currently on holiday in the middle of nowhere with effectively zero light pollution. Could see to 4.0 or so but the sky was at least half covered in cloud which certainly didn't help (also the noises outside were rather unsettling so I decided not to stay observing out there very long).

this isn't a pump and dump, otherwise they wouldn't shut down retail trading already
the hedge fund will go bankrupt and be bailed out with taxpayer money, it's only tens of billion dollars (since measures were already implemented to prevent further damage) so nothing huge will happen
the bailout will happen, otherwise it means that they will disobey the rule and sow distrust in financial system which would result in a real economic crash
also why do you care about how people spend their money, it's none of your business

It doesn't matter whether it is a pump and dump or not(or whether you see it as one because a great many will and will act as if it is). It has noting supporting it at all other than the meme, it's going to crash once the momentum ends. It will not hover at $350 long term.
