Macs are incompatible with a lot of software I (want to) use. Any while other programs like NoLimits 2 (a rollercoaster simulator) just recently got Mac support there still are a few problems with it. Steam regularly downloads NL2 updates that only fix Mac-related issues. So: No. I won't get a Mac. They don't seem to be made for gaming all that well, either that or the gaming industry is not interested in the market.

I could, but I'm hopefully getting a new PC soon. It's 7 years old anyways; that's vintage for a PC. It never was powerful, not even back in 2011 when we bought it. I need a new one.

My computer is in the process of dying. It lived to be 8 years old. How am I supposed to waste my life on the Internet without a computer?
-
The Mun actually worked against me here. It actually gets things out of alignment, is a pain and, as I had to realize, makes geostationary orbits an impossibility. Any satellite placed there will inevitably drift away from the position it was supposed to keep. I was trying some orbits that were neither geostationary nor geosynchronous, yet still came back to themselves and formed a closed loop. Interesting structures included many, MANY epi/hypotrochoids and orbits that looked like Reuleaux triangles. Then I came across an orbit that had 1/2 the period of Kerbin's rotation (forming an sort-of 8 with an extra loop in the middle) and added inclination to it. The result was this orbit.
-
Played around with Principia and discovered this interesting orbit (ground reference frame). I can imagine that it would be practical and actually quite useful in real life too, why isn't it used at all? In an intertial reference frame the trajectory describes an inclined orbit whose period is one half of a day. This orbit covers every point on Kerbin's surface in one way or another every single day. Wouldn't an Earth equivalent orbit be useful for communication satellites?

totm march 2020 So what song is stuck in your head today?
Delay replied to SmileyTRex's topic in The Lounge
If that counts as a song then surely these two do as well: Two of my favorite video game soundtracks of my childhood. And I wasn't even around when RCT 1 came out in 1999! -
I'm horrifically lazy. For instance: I wanted to install KS3P for a long time and I still haven't even downloaded it. Same with Ven's and TU. I wanted to get my folders ready for the new school year and even now, two weeks into it they're still filled with last year's sheets.

So I actually haven't been doing as bad as I thought, then? -

Well, most words, like "antechamber" and "strong room" were words I simply never heard before. Additionally there were some words used in a way I never heard before, like "honor an arrangement". Neither "honor" (which I assume is like "keeping" in "keeping a promise") nor "arrangement" (agreement) were words I ever heard before in this way. Examples for words I didn't know: catharsis, reconciliation (as well as "reconcile" later on), condescending, animosity. Don't know if I should feel bad about not knowing some of these words. Then there are some accents making some words more difficult, gunfire obscuring words, etc. But I will admit: DiCaprio has a nice, easy-to-understand voice. -
Yet another KSP player who succumbed to insanity?

I'm looking for assurance here: Could anyone who has seen Inception please confirm to me that the vocabulary used is rather highbrow for a non-native speaker (watched it partially with subtitles, so acoustic understanding is not my concern)? It was an avalanche of unknowns for me personally and I wouldn't say that my vocabulary is bad or slim in any way. If I'm watching a movie in English in a cinema somehow and somewhen in the future I will most likely not be equipped with a dictionary or any means of writing down words, and the words I didn't get were crucial to the context most of the time - if not all the time. I'm slightly panicking, to be honest. -
KS3P, which adds post-processing. And TexturesUnlimited for PBR shaders.

What are the capabilities of FH?

I listen to something in English or read a text, either here or somewhere else, that contains a word that I don't know. I open up Wiktionary and try to figure out what the word means, but what I'm greeted with is not a defintion/ multiple definitions but a heap of synonyms. Great help, especially when you don't know the synonyms as well. For instance: try "exorbitant" and then tell me that I'm supposed to learn from that entry. And almost all of them are this way. 5 minutes later and I have at least 5 open tabs, each one with a different word. This is worse than TVTropes could ever be at this point. This is routine for me now, and it's frustrating. I feel like I know nothing about the English language. It's demotivating.

Speaking of movie scores: -
I just learned that my body doesn't react well to eye drops. Side effects: Nausea, dizziness, and lots and lots of sweating.
-
Perhaps they are tides then. The Mun is very close to Kerbin after all.
-
Kerbal warming?
-
ugh... RCT 1 and 2 are better.
-
@EpicSpaceTroll139 Have you made any sort of assumption/assumptions while making your scipt that could, even in the most remote but possible way, lead to this? Or, better yet: how does the script even work in the first place? Don't tell me, though; I'm neither a mathematician nor a computer scientist.

You're not in Germany. It's terrible over here.

So I just finished watching the English version of Jurassic Park for the first time. Watched it in German on the VHS we had (I prefer VHS over DVD; use them while you still can!). Anyways: I did it to understand the English language better accoustically in movies (and for vocabulary). Voice-over quality's too perfect, to clear for me. And it was at the credits that I realized, "I could have make a list of all words I don't know/am uncertain of so that I can look them up later!". I could punch myself in the face right now as it basically means I wasted 121 minutes of "English vocabulary learning opportunities"TM. The movie was still fun to watch, so the complaint is only minor. So, yeah... Didn't do that. My memory is strange anyways. I memorize irrelevant information a lot better than relevant information, especially when I'm focused on something else. Like watching a movie about dinosaurs causing mayhem.
-
Thanks, I was just going to watch the movie in English for the first time to become better at understanding the language outside YouTube videos and school (both of which have a too perfect audio quality). Now I have a phrase that my subconscious will look for throughout it.
