Finally, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:

Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty miscasts a spell and ends up pulling all the main six ponies into her magic spellbook, where they are sent on an RPG style series of quests to eventually battle some cave monster as their only means of escaping from the spellbook. At first, I thought this should've been another special long episode so we could see all of those quests, but after how ultimately pointless the whole journey apparently turned out, I now think what we got was probably more reasonable. As for that final boss they must battle, in typical MLP fashion, rather than beat him in battle like they were told to, Misty ends up using her cutie mark magic to discover he's lonely and offers to be his friend, which the beast gladly accepts. Oh, and the one who sent them on those quests is some kind of book fairy who seems bored with everything, though she is pleasantly surprised by the final outcome of their journey and agrees to send them home anyway. Overall, I found this to be a nice fun episode, but not much more than that.

And that's two in a row for me! The correct answer for this one was...

MythBusters

Yeah, one of my favorite TV shows ever. Now let's see if I can make this three in a row...

My most played game on Steam is Civilization V. How much total gameplay time? 2,314.2 hours... :neutral Yeah, let's just say I have a very good reason why I've refused to even consider trying Civilization VI (though I will soon start playing the Civ V spinoff game, Civilization: Beyond Earth, as I feel like that game is modest enough that I could probably not spend much more than two or three months on it).

The Fridge / Re: 2024 Solar Eclipse

@Flathead770 Glad to hear you got lucky with not only the opportunity to visit the path of totality but also that you caught enough of a break in the weather to observe the eclipse. For me, I'm actually astonished that the best weather we got here in Vermont for over a month just so happened to occur right around the day of the eclipse (we had snowfall just a few days prior, heavy rainfall just a few days following, and practically every other day before and since has been a full cloudy sky). I hope you'll be just as fortunate in 2044, because take it from me, there is no experience like witnessing a total solar eclipse from a place as familiar as your home neighborhood.

I also looked up some other upcoming total solar eclipses that interest me, despite how unlikely I am to actually travel just to observe them...

2027 will have one of the longest eclipses of this century, and while the path of totality stretches from Gibraltar to Mecca, I can imagine one of the most popular destinations will be the location of longest duration (over six minutes) near Luxor, Egypt.

2028, the first of four eclipses across Australia over a ten year period, the city of Sydney will be within the path of totality, so that might be a tempting destination for those who might not be willing to venture deep into the outback.

2033 has a brief one across northwestern Alaska, which includes places like Nome and Barrow, so it'll be interesting to see just how many people are willing to travel to such a remote area with limited infrastructure.

And of course, I have long term hopes of visiting Florida to witness the 2045 eclipse (and from what little I've been able to study, it seems my desire to witness possibly up to six minutes of totality will probably require going to some place near Orlando).

@RainbowFaceProtege Believe me, I was tempted to go to my brother's house to experience three minutes of totality, which is close to the longest duration there was going to be anywhere in Vermont. In fact, my grandmother happens to live a little south from my house, practically right on the edge of the path of totality, so she would've seen only a few seconds of totality if she hadn't traveled ten miles north to my place, while my brother's home is about twenty miles to the north. Ten miles for two minutes, twenty miles for one more minute, in hindsight, I feel like staying at my home was a fair balance. As I had mentioned earlier in this topic, my sister and her boyfriend didn't want to go any further north than where I live, so given the option, I decided seeing an eclipse from my own backyard was a one-off opportunity I just had to take.

Since the center of totality offered up to four minutes in some places, I believe you could've been able to experience two minutes rather than just one if you had traveled just a few more miles (totality duration increases quickly from the edge of the path, but not so much once you get closer to the center, so like I just said, there's a fair balance you could reach depending on what you're willing to tolerate). To put it into perspective, the center of totality for the 2017 eclipse was only two minutes, while some of the longest duration total solar eclipses expected for this century are just over six minutes, one of which will be the next coast-to-coast eclipse across the US in 2045 (I personally am hoping I could possibly visit Florida to see that eclipse, so I've got 21 years to make such a plan).
