SpaceX launched 48 Starlink satellites last Thursday. That's a whole train of them in low orbit. They catch the sun just right at dusk, look like a string of weird glowing dots. Check satellite tracking apps next time, filters out most of the mystery.

Yeah that moment when it finally spins true is the best. For me it was realizing the pattern isn't just about crossing spokes, it's how the whole structure gets stiff. Like, getting that first full rotation without a big wobble makes all the hours of messing with the spoke wrench worth it. It's one of those skills that feels like magic until you push through the frustration, kinda like learning to solder cleanly or write a simple script that actually works.

Wait really? It saves so many dead cards. You haven't tried one?

Sometimes the rules lawyer ends up losing the game for everyone, @the_derek, not just the fun.

Really? The change was that huge, just from keeping boats out for a bit?
