2024 solar eclipse

[mj4cy]

So what's the play here? Pop outside every so often from now until peak?

That's kind of what I'm doing. Sucks its a really busy work day but working from home has its perks.

It's partially cloudy here and they are moving fast but I'm on the wrong side of the house so I can't tell if eclipsing or clouds

That's what I'll do. Just a bit of a nick in the sun right now. Cool.

yeah it was real haphazard, lol. I looked first with glasses to see it, then held glasses up, squinted at phone to see if it was about right and hit the button

goddammit, have a meeting scheduled over the whole prime time that I keep trying to move but the person won't respond. What is this. They are an intern, but I don't own the meeting. Why are they not bowing to my will?!!?

I'm apparently among the very, very few who don't get why this thing is such a big deal? I wish I understood the spiritual aspect that many seem to have for it.

I think it's neat, but I'm definitely not driving hours to see it.

I just appreciate the depth of our understanding regarding the movement of things in our solar system and its predictability.

Best last minute place to snag some eclipse glasses in the NW DSM suburbs?

HyVee here in CR still had some this morning - 2 for $3 - but they were going out of there fast.

I managed to find the 2 pair of glasses we had from 2017. Score!

Because you’re a hawk fan and therefore a god damn heathen. We don’t expect you to understand.

I have my camera set up in my driveway. I'll just run out ever 10 minutes or so and center it and take another photo

A spaceship tug boat is pulling the moon in front of the sun. Meanwhile while everyone is distracted the world government is going to release a deadly virus

I hope the moon doesn't have a power failure and plow into the sun!
