  1. Very nice! For many years I have been curious about the plastics used in 3d printing but the price at the time (over 3000 USD) for just a 'small' printer was out of my range for experimentation. I have seen a few that print large enough items in my range recently and I had a question @Gargamel : Are the items created sturdy enough for everyday use? For example, as a knob on a radio in an automobile? Or as a bumper retainer clip?
  2. Oh Hi! Im not him. @ColdJ have you seen him?
  3. Ok I guess I got the old threads confused. Don't mind me, I blame my age
  4. One last click!! For now ...
  5. Well then, maybe a smaller Click This time then
  6. Thats what it seems to be by far. I am a mechanic by trade and the conversion to metric was a long and messy one, so I have learned to use most measurements interchangeably. I also see the imperial system as a system that gives you some leeway, where I see the metric system as much more exacting. Now, I am in the USA (obviously) but if you see enough of my posts, I convert to metric for sake of our non US members. I also usually try to state what monetary system I am using when mentioning a price as well. For myself its no hassle to convert and helps to reach a larger audience.
  7. Waiter: they are just waiting the release of you final mod and wanted to remind you. Customer: Waiter! There's a clicker in my soup!
  8. Wernicke's area disconnect is a likely and logical conclusion. For reasons, I am familiar with various brain and mental "condition's" i.e. OCD, ADHD, autism, and in my laymen experience it all relates to the fact that we are all wired differently and our realities are seperate. You even touched on the subject of individual realities in another post and to me, that explains it enough for myself. The matrix is much more than a dream, it is the ultimate augmented and virtual reality. If you have ever used VR goggles, the fact that what you see is not real does not result in areas of the brain disconnecting or resting. You can still read and write. So it is the same for the matrix X 100. Visual, tactile, and audio stimuli are directly fed to the central nervous system and the cerebral cortex. Instead of two super small monitors.
  9. Granted, it is now easier to create models in blender for KSP. You just can't import them into the game itself. Granted, everything is made of bedrock and is thus indestructible and unmineable. Plus the planets are huge block shaped monstrosities. Granted, you easily create a KSP model of minecraft that when installed, crashes the game to desktop. Whew! Wish I was asleep!
  10. Ahh click! @AlamoVampire @Spaceman.Spiff
  11. Not trying to change the rate of heat transfer, trying to move the medium that absorbs that heat much faster through longer and larger surface areas. Much much larger and longer. Planet sized larger and longer. Or maybe instantaneously transport the medium, liguid or gas or whatever to a distant larger radiator. Or maybe we can just ALT+F12
  12. I understand that thermal radiation can not transfer faster than Weins displacement law allows, except when the temperature is over about 10 million K, but predicting what the future can or can not overcome is impossible. Flying was impossible at one time, hovercars were supposed to be the norm in 2000, and noone predicted the affects of deep sea ocean currents on the arctic ice. One day we may be able to move a vast amount of an extreme heat absorbing mass at near light speeds using machines of planetary mass and scale to accomplish the impossible. Cutting the cooling time in half or more. Some great new cosmic thermal radiator. Or maybe not. Regardless, I still wonder why Venus or two other better candidates.
  13. Waiter: Well the mockingbird can't swim. Customer: Waiter, there are added wheat and water constituents in my soup!
  14. Granted. Now they bear the name Seagate and cost 80% more. I still wish I could concentrate, preferably without causing death.
  15. The way NASA has it laid out, it seems like it would be dependant on the size of the ship and if it could be attached at a far enough distance from the ship. Then of course the ship would have to make complicated maneuvers to maintain the shield in its proper position... My best guess is that its possible, but not feasible or cost effective for something ship sized. I personally don't think that humans can commit to 800 weeks let alone years. But given current scientific advancements and the speed we have achieved them over the last 100 years, I don't think the wait would be that long. (Unless you are of the thought that human tech is plateauing) So the question I have is why choose Venus over Mars or Titan?
  16. I was trying to find the thread but couldn't find it... Just in case I will put what I think in a spoiler tab...
  17. I would hope their advertising of being "mod friendly" would include the UI, but if it doesn't, it should. I hope all the science instruments actually work and are optional on the HUD/UI depending upon if the craft has it equipped in the VAB and its available that way stock.
  18. This could fall under the diversity thread, but concerning strictly facial hair, how different? Just a basic set of templates? Or a more in depth creating mechanism that deals with length, thickness, percentage of coverage? I would be happy with a few templates as long as there was an extra long one for @ColdJ
  19. This might sound rather boring, but seriously another terrestrial planet.
