While I never used data from Arecibo directly in my academic background, seeing a grand old instrument that has provided decades of service to science being decommissioned rather than repaired is something that's hard to cope with. Obviously, repairs should be conducted safely, but to just decommission Arecibo seems like such an inglorious end to its service.
I'm slightly disappointed that Snowflake is officially Bulk Biceps now, but that's just a name change. (Though why did he have so much trouble flying in "Rainbow Falls" when he was in "Wonderbolt Academy" and seemingly capable of easy flight?)
Upon consultation with a non-brony friend (as well as his assistance making a transparent PNG), my avatar now has a cutie mark. It's unfortunate that the quality is low, but I can fix that later.
