what is difference between black hole and budget hole?
Flymetothemun replied to Pawelk198604's topic in The Lounge
Black holes are all-natural, like the greenest grass, whereas budget holes are man-made, like shoes and certain foodstuffs which probably shouldn't be eaten. -
Thanks for the reminder. Although, to be fair, almost everybody that I've met that has done something stupid has also been malicious at the same time, so I tend to mix the two.

No official statements have been made, but I have reason to suspect that there's a nefarious motive behind this. We'll have to see in time what happens.

Petition: Return to VBulletin!
Flymetothemun replied to MedwedianPresident's topic in Kerbal Network
I affix my name to this petition to return to the former VBulletin forum software. -

[quote name='Kerbart']Actually not correct. US Citizens outside the US are not required to register (at least not as far as the FAA is concerned as it's outside their jurisdiction), and non-US Citizens who reside in the US are. More correct would be “if you’re a US [I]resident[/I]...†[U][B]Personally I think the FAA should be applauded for going on a strategy that seems to keep the barrier on owning/operating a drone as low as possible, while simultaneously attempting to curb the effects of the usual parade of idiots who are trying very hard to ruin it for the rest of us. I'm not even talking about the “ZOMG drones near commercial jets†occurrences (of which apparently the vast majority are actually military drones), but more of the boneheaded cases of flying over large crowds, in national parks, and spying on your neighbors. From what I gather there's a small fee, an acknowledgement that you read the regulations (no hiding behind “[I]I didn't know...[/I]â€Â) and a registration of the serial number so they can find you when you're leaving a wreck behind.[/B][/U] [U][B]Given the alternatives (it was considered that you'd need a pilot's license to fly one) it's all very reasonable.[/B][/U][/QUOTE] Exactly. I'm a licensed Amateur Radio operator and I see this as sort of the same thing. On Amateur Radio, we're friendly, clean, responsible, and we're accountable for everything we do. We're required to be licensed and we'll report those who aren't to the FCC. If we don't follow the rules and good operating practice we can get our licenses taken away and even get a fine from the FCC. We also help out our communities in times of disaster by providing communications when internet, telephone, and cell phone networks are destroyed. Now, look at CB radio: unlicensed, filthy, usually populated by unsavory people, users often exceed the 4 (or 7, can't remember) watt power limit, and there is very, very little accountability. Oftentimes the FCC will track down bad CB users with a van with radios in it that they drive around and measure the signal strength of the bad person's CB transmissions. As I said, there are also no CB licenses, but I think they can still fine you. Furthermore, users of CB often have very little desire to help their communities. I'm normally not one for this kind of government control, and I've never seen a drone in real life let alone flown one, but I see this as a common sense thing. Think about it: you're flying something in public that could injure someone else if piloted incorrectly. You can also be a nuisance and do things to others with them that they might not want to do (like your example of people spying on their neighbors). I think that a licensing program would not only increase the quality and responsibility of the drone community, it would also increase the quality of the drones on the market. You'll have people who truly enjoy it and not those who just want a toy to fly about and perhaps hassle people with.

[quote name='Vanamonde']What service is it you are proposing to offer people, CliftonM?[/QUOTE] I do believe that it is stated in this gentleman's abstract that his firm specializes in the preservation of threads for a later date. It has not been clearly stated by the Kerbal Space program discussion board legislators whether or not the threads shall be preserved whenever the new discussion board machinery is started. Therefore, this gentleman is offering a free service to provide peace of mind to those who wish to be absolutely sure that their thread is preserved and ready for installation into the new machinery.

[quote name='Mad Rocket Scientist']I suggest that the experience in games be removed. It is possible to have a good grasp of these concepts without KSP or space engine. You could add this though: Understand the basic of delta-v, and why "every gram counts."[/QUOTE] I suggest that the idea of a space opera license be tossed into the bin. Why should somebody need a license to create art? And if you're taking a science-fiction show necessary, I think you have a problem, not the writers.

[quote name='Shpaget']GoFundMe page says Port Orange, Florida. Not terribly.[/QUOTE] Oh, well looking at the topo map a bike would most definitely work in Port Orange. maybe he can stash the truck somewhere while he gets the money. And bud, I'd focus on the truck rather than the computer.
-
[quote name='Shpaget']I understand that is the cost to fix this particular car, but the total amount is still significant. For what you are asking, to restore your 15yo car, you can buy a [I]very[/I] good used smaller one. Selling the Ram would probably cover it easily. Let's be honest here. You don't need a 6L V8 to go to school. [I][B]A bicycle will do just fine on a dry day and there is probably some public transportation too.[/B][/I] If you can't afford to maintain such an expensive car, you really should not have it. Seriously, that's a life lesson you should have already learned. Yeah, maybe somebody will donate you couple of hundred dollars, or you might somehow even meet the 7k goal, but what happens in couple of years when you need to service something else? You'll ask for charity again? Don't live above you income.[/QUOTE] It's West Virginia. If you think you can go places on a bike in West Virginia, you're completely insane. You'd have a better chance getting a 10 inch diameter rod to fit in a 1 inch diameter hole. It's hillier than hell, it's right in the middle of appalachia for goodness sakes. Places in WV are REALLY spaced out too. And Public Transport? Snowball's chance in hell there's any public transport in WV outside of the city, which he's probably out of, because he inherited a pickup. Not everybody lives in a flat, well-maintained city. The winters in this part of the country suck too, I live 3 hours away from the north border of WV, and trucks are the best thing for them. And before you say about the road trucks with the salt, the trucks don't get everywhere. In some places you have 45-50 degree inclines with ice on the roads. One time I got stuck on one and had to drive half on the road and on the grass while flooring the pedal to get up the hill. Also, the guy's 18. He just started out and he probably doesn't have a bunch of money in his savings account. From his page, he's a cashier. He doesn't have a lot of money, PERIOD. I don't think asking for money's unreasonable at this stage of his game. And he has a lot of memories in it. Also, 7499275, see if somebody you know will loan you the money. Just agree to pay them back once you get the cash. Or maybe ask for a part of the money and raise the rest yourself. And if it needs done right now, see if the bank will loan you something, you'll have to pay a lot of interest on it, but at least your truck will be working. And, if you do some things yourself, you can save a lot. If you have an air compressor with a decent capacity tank (or could borrow one off a buddy), you can probably do the paint yourself with a sprayer. Just look up some instructions and go at it, if you screw up then at least you learned something and you know what you need to do next time. If you can put on the body panels yourself, you can save a little there, just stand them up on some blocks or get a buddy to hold them on while you bolt them in. You can even go to the junkyard and see if the trucks there have the part you need, and if they do, just take it home, clean it up, paint it, and you're ready to bolt the sucker on. But don't cheap out on the tires, you'll waste money cheaping out on the tires. Also, according the the Kelly Blue Book, using his description to put in the information, and using a Charleston, WV zip code, he could get around 2500-3000 bucks for his truck. In this economy, you can get a beater car that'd need the same amount of work for that money. It's probably better to fix it up than to sell it.

Copy+Paste from HeroHunter's thread on the same subject: I run KSP perfectly fine on stock settings with 6 gigs of ram and a 1.9 GHz processor that doubles as a GPU (it's one of those new APU types you might see).

I know you're done, but I'd like to say that I run KSP perfectly fine on stock settings with 6 gigs of ram and a 1.9 GHz processor that doubles as a GPU (it's one of those new APU types you might see). Just for anybody who might stroll through here looking to see what it might take to run KSP.

When I played Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, I had the exact same problem. Every ride would have a price of 50 cents to 2 bucks, I would spend like the sun was imploding, and then I wondered why I ran out of money in 10 minutes. Now, luckily, I know how to actually manage a budget and I no longer run out of Genuine American Pesos.

You can love your country's history and the country itself without loving it's culture or government. It's important to be proud of your country, even if it's messed up, because the pride will make you want to make it better. This reminds me of a story. When I was in school our handwriting teacher would always tell us to take pride in our work before we would do handwriting exams. He taught many winners of national and international writing competitions. No matter how good our writing was, he'd tell it to us time after time. Because taking pride in our work got us to care about it and do our best work. If we didn't make the grade, we'd want to do better so that we would be best. If you have to wait for a perfect society to take pride in it, then you'll never take pride in it. There's an underbelly to every culture and society, and now that the internet has come it's in plain view. Focus on the positives, not the negatives. For example, I can say that nature is an incredibly dangerous thing that has claimed countless lives and for that reason it shouldn't be trifled with. But, I can also say that nature is a beautiful and glorious thing that has inspired many writers and artists to create some of the most fabulous works in the history of man and for that reason it should be celebrated and explored. Now add "humanity" or "society" in place of "nature" in the above statements and read them. If you are looking for the negative, you will find the negative, and if you're looking for the positive, you'll find the positive. Take, for example, the US of America, my country. I can say that the government sucks and that the economy's bad and that the culture is abhorrent and filled with sexualised music and tasteless design. But, I can also say that it's got one of the best education systems in the world and that most of the world's colleges are here, that we're one of the most prosperous nations in the world, and that our culture is filled with such giants as Leonard Bernstein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Edison, and Frank Lloyd Wright. And pride doesn't mean the approval of everything your country does or makes. For example, I don't approve of much of the music that is recorded in my country today, and I don't approve of many things that the government does. But, I'm still proud to be an American, because we've given the world things that are so much greater than what we give today, and I want to see it change. I want to see my country in a much better state than she's in right now, I think that's the dream of everybody for their respective countries, but to wait for her to get better to start being proud of her is a disservice and a disgrace. Pride means many things to many people, but one thing that unites their definitions is a love of country. If you love your country, you want to see it get better, just like you'd want a loved one to get better if they weren't feeling too well. And to me, pride means supporting the people that help make your country better. Pride means helping to make her better. And I think that if you wait until everything in your country is "just so" until you start taking pride in it, then you're unfairly riding on the backs of the people that made it better.

Radon is radioactive gas. And a lot of people have problems with it in their homes.

Mmkay, thanks! Sometimes "wikipedia-ese" is hard to decipher. But I found this official French government logo that still proves my point:

I don't mean to offend you, and I try to refrain from using stereotypes, but MAN are you French people fancy. Here's the logo you guys have for the Rafale: Probably the coolest government "logo" us Americans have is the DoC, DoE, NCC, or the Navy logo:

Yep. I get the two mixed up all the time.

I'd have to say the Lockheed U-2. One of the fastest aircraft in modern history and also one of the highest-flying aircraft, which means it would represent just how far we've come and how much we can achieve with aviation. Also, it represents a transition into new kind of air combat. Not a dogfight-style one like most people think and dream about, but a technological one. After all, isn't it better to know exactly what your enemy is doing and have a strong plan to counter them rather than not know what they're doing and come up with many average plans to counter them? The dogfight is still present, it'll be present as long as there are planes and guns, but the emphasis seems to be on technological and "smart fighting", if you want to call it that. The U-2 WAS the espionage satellite before espionage satellites were even in orbit. Also, the sucker's just plan graceful. UPDATE:: After a memory jogging I retract the "Lockheed U-2" and replace it with "Lockheed SR-71".

What would you do if you were the last person on the planet?
Flymetothemun replied to a topic in The Lounge
Set up a farm with a really big house strategically located near a rail hub. Plant the crops, make sure they're stable, and travel the country and get whatever I want by rail. Eat mostly out of cans until they run out and eat what's from my farm, either fresh, canned, or in the root cellar. Go to Atlantic City, New Jersey, rip out the Boardwalk Auditorium organ while simultaneously repairing the infrastructure of it, and install it in said big house. -
It's called RENT. Now tell them to start giving you candy every day or you'll toss them out on the street.
