@UndotheSnowman seems you forgot about the bounty here, didn't you? Or you just thought there's no answer that satisfies the criteria? (I'd understand the latter, don't worry about a straight answer LOL)

Undo the Snowman

@TildalWave Huh wha?

@TildalWave What the...??

I never got notified about any of those answers.

TildalWave

@UndotheSnowman you had a bounty on the hazard pay question

Undo the Snowman

@TildalWave Yeah.

And I didn't get to award it ;(

TildalWave

@UndotheSnowman LOL happens I guess... did you favorite the question?

Undo the Snowman

Meh, I don't use favorites anyway.

TildalWave

1:40 AM

@UndotheSnowman you have one on Astro, no?

@UndotheSnowman well that's why it's useful, tells you which threads changed in your profile page

Undo the Snowman

Ahhh.... that's what it's there for.

@TildalWave Yeah, so I can get the hat.

TildalWave

Undo the Snowman

TildalWave

@UndotheSnowman hehhe what CW do I need to edit? post new tag CW would do it or should I add some book to our meta post?

Undo the Snowman

@TildalWave Go edit something in the Sandbox on mSO.

TildalWave

1:47 AM

@UndotheSnowman Oh I could add something to literary canon thread, if that's all that's required

Undo the Snowman

@TildalWave It has to be 90 days old.

TildalWave

@UndotheSnowman isn't it?

Undo the Snowman

@TildalWave Meh, edit this question.

TildalWave

Undo the Snowman

Then go for it

TildalWave

2:25 AM

NASA Image of the Day: Solar Dynamics Observatory Shows Sun's Rainbow of Wavelengths

posted on December 18, 2013

This still image was taken from a new NASA movie of the sun based on data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, showing the wide range of wavelengths – invisible to the naked eye – that the telescope can view. SDO converts the wavelengths into an image humans can see, and the light is colorized into a rainbow of colors. Yellow light of 5800 Angstroms, for example, generally emanates f…

Is the DSN under-utilized?

A: Did the SSO have "military uses"?

Using a piloted spacecraft to launch warheads makes no sense. Better to just use ICBMs

^ Auto VLQ flag there. @Manish, procedure?

You're not really answering the question here - could you edit your answer to be more in line with the question? The questions asks whether SSO had military uses, and you're saying that it wouldn't make sense. It would be great if you could cite some sources for a yes or no answer. These types of answers are liable to be removed. — Undo 3 mins ago

I'm tempted to agree with the flag; it expresses an opinion

Undo the Snowman

Huh, the 10k tools show flags you've already handled now. Nice!

Everyone

Me??

What is that bulby-hat thingy?

Undo the Snowman

5:35 PM

@Everyone A hat.

That's all I can tell you.

@Everyone Well, what flags I've already handled. They don't just fall into a black hole as soon as you handle them.

@ManishEarth Reasoning?

You're talking through a hat again ... \+:

Your comment

Undo the Snowman

@ManishEarth Got it.

That is such a fun button to use.

Too short, and mainly guesswork with no refs. Not really useful, as answers go

Undo the Snowman

Sounds good.

(Come to think of it, we've never community-deleted an answer)

Learning to push the right button, eh?

Undo the Snowman

@Everyone Yah.

Buttons are fun to push.

Everyone

5:54 PM

hehe ok.

What missions does the NASA DSN support at present? How close is it to capacity?

Undo the Snowman

@Everyone Make it a little narrower and that'd be a great question.

i.e. split them into two questions.

Everyone

You want to take either? I'm knackered; barely sitting up

Undo the Snowman

@Everyone Only if you don't want one.

I'll take whichever you don't want.

Everyone

whichever you choose (+:
