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.

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

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.

Is it me or do people generally seem less active in January? Everyone online place I hang out in (granted it's not many) has lower activity levels and it seems to happen every year. I know some people are still young enough to be in school, but I don't think there's a similar effect during other times that school returns after a break.

Does everyone have the post-holiday blues?
Does winter sap energy, even if people are inside?
Are they doing something else? What?

I spent most of december too unmotivated to even post and now that i have to do things again Im staying off the internet as much as I can to stay focused
Id assume most people are going through something similar and that a similar dip in activity also happens in september/august
so pretty much post holiday boke combine with people getting used to new schedules

There were a few tiny flurries on Christmas Eve. It was supposed to snow properly, but the forecast changed day-of. I'm a bit disappointed in that, but I wasn't expecting snow to begin with. Otherwise, Christmas itself went well. My family had a big breakfast, and then a big dinner together at home. Presents and all that went over well too, so that's good.
