• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Cool video of the sun - "A Decade of Sun"

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

About an hour long, but rather mesmerizing. I can't help but to be astonished pondering just what the heck our Sun really is. And it is humbling that all life on Earth is only possible because of our own star nearby. But how such a thing even exists just boggles the mind. To think that it is so hot that it can burn your skin from exposure at what, 93 MILLION miles away, just fumbles the brain.

Space is mind boggling. UY Scuti, the largest known sun has a radius around 1,700 times larger than our sun. And to think 93 million miles is like going to the corner of your street in space. Cool video.
