@sundogplanets oh gosh, that’s a great shot

@sundogplanets Canadians do love our Costco.

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@mayintoronto I hate all grocery stores deeply, and I can only handle being in Costco for about 20 minutes before I lose it. But I do like that Costco treats their employees well, they don't screw over customers as badly as most grocery stores, and I can buy giant bags of things so I don't have to go there again for months if I play my cards right. You definitely asked my full opinion on Costco, right?

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@sundogplanets Yes! Statistically, Canadian Costcos do soooo much better globally than every other country. I saw some recent (past... 5 years?), 2 of the busiest Costcos in the world were in the GTA.

I do love that they treat their staff better than all the other shit chains.

@thomasfuchs @sundogplanets Fabulous!! 🤩

@sundogplanets

my favorite "it just happens" thing about earth is that we get solar eclipses. I wish I knew what the statistical likelihood of a planet's moon being the exact right size and distance to do a perfect solar eclipse. Aliens would visit here as a tourist attraction just to see one.

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@Artemis201 YES I totally agree!

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@sundogplanets I love staring at the sky, even in the city. Sometimes, we get these extra clear nights and I feel like celebrating that I can see a few more stars than usual.

What a planet.

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@sundogplanets i always say that, if we ever make contact with aliens, they will bus them in by the thousands to see our solar eclipses.

哇这也太激动人心了！每次看到这种自然奇观都忍不住感叹地球真的太神奇了，能和你一起生活在这个星球上真是件幸福的事 (´▽｀)

@sundogplanets that sentence from "Idiocracy" was in my mind immediately.

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!

[dilmandila@mograph.social]

@sundogplanets I saw a bright rainbow too in a residential suburb of Kampala. The first bright one I was seeing in a loooong time.

[sharponlooker@mastodon.social]

@colinburgess @joannaholman @sundogplanets we got one too yday on the other side of the pond.

But this one was better: https://mastodon.social/@sharponlooker/116614260142102657

Was going to say 'Nice try Professor Sam, but no discount'

[libroraptor@mastodon.nz]

@sundogplanets Nice secondary, and a subtle hint of Alexander's dark band – I've never understood why the dark band doesn't always contrast much with the outside of the secondary.

But on to bigger things – are bows really unique to Earth? Not even anywhere else in the solar system? I've never thought about this before but realise that I've merely assumed that ice-crystal optical effects would be quite abundant even if water-drop effects aren't.

[bzdev@fosstodon.org]

@sundogplanets As I recall, before we had digital cameras, I took a picture of a double rainbow (there's a hint of one in Sam's picture) while visiting Canada - in my case, in the Bugaboos, located in British Columbia.

@sundogplanets I say "Earth first!".
