A Mistyped post, something lost...something learned!

Looks like I seem to have "mistyped" my recent post about my trip to the Northwest. It turns out, as I find out very recently, that I took the wrong filter with me. Sorry for that, even though I was talking about a 10 stop filter, I actually was talking about an 8 stop filter, and it turns out that actually I left my really dark filter at home. The NDX400 filter is actually an 8-stop filter, while the filter I found recently at home, about three and a half weeks after vacation, was a 12 stop! No wonder I didn’t get as creative as I could’ve gotten with my photos! Anyhow, I'm awaiting some really neat clouds such as, for example, Cumulus or Stratus. so that I can finally show all of you the “stacklapse” example that I hope to create soon! I did it, I can now have my remote shutter release go until the battery dies! I suppose that there’s some relief in all of this! Ha, I should make sure not to leave home without it next for my next photo outing. Now I realize that on the web, there are examples of stacked time lapse, which are really neat, but I want to do the same except that I want to essentially smooth out the clouds in a way as to fill in any gaps, or “stutter” as you might call it. If you’re wondering just how dark these filters are, the 12 stop is far darker than sunglasses, and in fact, stacking the 8 stop and the 12 stop filter together=about 20 stops reduction of light, which means that with the stacked setup, and with your eyes adjusted to about average vision (with regards to brightness), you’d see the sun as a somewhat dark circle, and other than that, everything else would be too dark to see using normal eyesight.

What if somehow nighttime was warm and daytime was cool, while (despite) at the same time, the Earth’s north pole centered at a 90 degree angle to the sun? Or what if everything stayed the same, but with winters and autumns warming up while summers and springs cooling down, to an exact extent, so that the temperature was more or less the same (within ten degrees or so Fahnrenheit) while the nighttime and daytime temperatures might be exactly the same? What if it was cold on Earth, for example, 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sun was 10 times as bright but still the same size as our current sun? What about perpetual nighttime with high temperatures? What if the day and night lasted only minutes, but the gravity was so immense that nothing flew away? What if, while either day and night lasted extremely quickly or extremely slowly, relatively speaking, at the same time, we could try to modify it and cause totally unexpected results? I mean, what would the results exactly be?

Negative action leads to negative reaction in my life

The reason why things happening in my life never happen in my favor, is because I've been failing in life often initially. and then after the times I failed something had to happen against me, like cause and effect. I don't understand how or why though, it's like unexplained: how does a negative cause lead to a negative effect. In other words, it's like a negative action leading to a negative reaction: in theory, it shouldn't be possible but I've been observing it over many years of my life. And that's how it's been with other things, what is essentially circular reasoning. So much ideas in the world are founded on this type of reasoning. With hatred from various people, combined with strict rules leading me to think that something gravely dangerous will happen because of my failed past, my memory has faded many times and very frequently, so much that I forgot what exactly I was supposed to write to finish this sentence: my psychologically ravaged mind

Anyone know of a coffee grinder, that's sitting on an old VW wheel at 4:12 PM on April 5th, 2019?

I've been thinking of a coffee grinder, one that's been set up top an old VW wheel, and hopefully I get there when it's slightly raining (sprinkling), and there's an old abandoned building nearby to make the mood really nice. The owner of the grinder, as demanded by me, should wear jeans and a white shirt at the time of purchase. Either that, or perhaps something more interesting, like an old tractor mower that I can use to stand next to at home and spin around in circles by myself to perform ritual movements? I was thinking about choosing an esoteric times, for example, 1:21 PM in the evening, to start spinning like a top on a flat surface until my head starts spinning, to bring good luck and then every Monday at noon, visit one abandoned building that is located exactly 4.12 miles away from where I started spinning. If you have more information, please let me know.
