Had they been able to vote secretly, I would be willing to bet that we'd have seen trump convicted and removed form office (or banned from holding office, in the case of the second trial). If not... I bet it would have been at least very close to reaching that threshold.

The official vote is on-record: everyone knows how each senator voted. And this is, in most cases, the way it needs to be. You need to know how you're being represented. But the downside is that they all knew they would face reprisals from trump and his minions had they voted to convict.

I agree. This would be useful to have. Obviously floppies are not practical for most contemporary uses, but many people have old floppies kicking around that we might want to get data off of. It also could be useful for writing data to old floppies to use with old computers for nostalgia sake.

That’s an insult to grifting fucking cunts. Trump doesn’t even rise to that level.

Anyone play Microsoft Flight Simulator. It’s a serious bandwidth hog

Do any companies still make iron lungs? Might be worth investing in those companies… and donating some of the profits to anyone opposing trump and his cabal of stupidity

I did too. It had its flaws, but I wanted to see where the story was going.

While most AP images are the result of the processing of multiple individual exposures, this one is actually a single 5-minute exposure. It was taken using a Takahashi Sky 90 with an SBIG ST-2000XMC. The telescope was located at Siding Spring, Australia.

The camera I used was an SBIG STF-8300C and the mount was an iOptron iEQ45 (the original version).
The image is comprised of about 30 individual 120 second exposures stacked and processed in PixInsight and finished in Photoshop.

This was done as a test of my newest telescope, an Astro-Tech AT72EDII. In fact, it's this AT72EDII, reviewed by Ed Ting. I don't mean it's one like it. It's the actual scope Ed reviewed. I bought it from him (well, through him, he was selling for someone else).
