It's hard to see on the picture of the preview on my laptop, but there is an elongated smudge spraying out of the sunspot. I think it's been moving and changing shape, but it's slow and the atmospheric turbulence makes it hard to keep track of what's going on.
I'm trying to do work out here, but this is too fucking cool.
Our local Chik-fil-a just built a roof over their drivethru so that the staff aren’t in the sun and rain. I assume they’re gonna put solar on it, as well.
CFA’s owners are scum of the earth, but wow is this company intelligently run, every drivethru should do this. It probably pays for itself in the first year.
Also got some images of the Sunflower Galaxy (M63) last night, partially at the astro club meeting but mostly at my apartment. About 2 hours of monochrome luminance.
This is probably my next project. It's one of my favorites.
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about a job at a high-frequency trading firm and was feeling curious so I entertained him and took the call. Not sure if I actually care about the job?
Like, HFT firms are kind of like the economic equivalent of parasitic organisms. But it's not like I think the automotive industry is that great either.
I have no idea where I could work that would actually be fulfilling.
I keep coming back to my recently acquired nihilism and deep pessimism about the future. As in, I don't know what to do with my life, because I've got it stuck in my head that everything is fucked and nothing sort of a dramatic revolution will make a difference.
I have this need to make my life matter in some way in some greater context, but I am unable to see a way in which to do that. Everything just seems like it's pissing in the wind.
