Ah, another #introduction topic I forgot, I like watching #F1 races since around 2019. This current season is going to be very interesting with #Ferrari and #Redbull battling it out and #MercedesAMG being oddly left behind.

What I like the most about it is the #engineering aspect of the cars, on how minute differences in #aerodynamics and the #suspension can be the difference between attaining that extra speed around a corner or being able to brake a instant later and not losing control.

Setting the equipment outside is a sure fire way to getting the sky completely clouded out. 😞

Trying to setup my #telescope with new-to-me #astrophotography camera. Since I use what’s called an #equatorial mount, I need to align it properly with the sky’s North Pole in order to do long exposures without drifting. That, and a smaller camera and scope called together an #autoguiding system, allow me to keep an object centered in the field of view for long periods of time.

This is how usually my gaming sessions go:

1) be tired and angry and bored as hell after a long day spinning computer models
2) start playing #WorldofTanks to destroy every other player on sight and vent my frustration
3) get wrecked in almost every match because I’m playing recklessly
4) turn off the game angrier than when I started

Doing some exercise 🏃‍♂️ now, and then going to have dinner 🍽 with family. Maybe tonight I will take a 🔭 outside, but after working almost all weekend on a project I feel a bit tired 😴

So far changing instances has been the best decision I've made since joining Mastodon. I think this is the first time I've been more engaged in my Mastodon tl than on my Twitter tl.

Coffee is my best friend these days… 🥱🥱😪

Good morning #fediverse! I’m slowly ramping up start work this morning lol. I work during the day as a structural engineer for the aerospace industry, and creating structural models doesn’t always go as smoothly as I would like! 🥵

Lol lil ol' Jeff can't hold himself back...

I also write astronomy-related stuff in my blog (in Spanish, but write elsewhere in English). It's in here:

Observing the moon at night. Area is very illuminated, but you don’t need to be dark adapted to watch the #moon. #telescope #astronomy #universe #space

I think that given the multitude of communities posting in so many languages in the #Fediverse, a translation functionality is a must. I don’t speak so many of the languages shown in the federated tl…
