https://www.reddit.com/r/VXJunkies/ https://www.reddit.com/r/VXJunkies/ is fun, but can be a bit hard to follow if you're not well versed in the field.

I just looked through this subreddit and I still have no idea what this is all about. Please explain.

  It's basically high quality shitposting. You make up technical terms (remember "flux-capacitor") and bring up elaborate ideas.

Is this one of those things where all the terms are made up to sound really technical and the whole thing's a joke? I don't get it.

  It took a while for me to understand Yalgeth's Limit, but once that piece of information cracked itself open, the rest of it all really falls into place. Edit: Check out the wikia to get started (http://vxmodules.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started http://vxmodules.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Started) Be careful though, the first time you ever calibrate a wide-angle spectrograph, you'll be hooked!

Today I clicked on a random story off the HN front page, then found a random comment on that story. Then I clicked on the subreddit linked from that HN story. I saw a submission in there by a guy I sub to on Youtube... referencing a reply to a video he made that I watched like two days ago. The hell? How does the Internet work?

  I've heard it's some kind of weird webby thing

I just wish my local VX vendors would get their act together, I can't for the life of me find anyone selling a Baltovsky chamber.

  I once saw a 3.60 on eBay, but was outbid before I could confirm shipping. Not just any transport company is certified for Baltovskys - and just remember never even to breathe any hint that it might be a used one that could be a bit out of tune. That was the last I saw on the public market. I think it's just a matter of the carriage insurance - it's just not worth it. I've heard you can fake one up with a modified Verona cavity and a good capacitor, though. Have you tried that route?
