Gargamel

Let me introduce you to Snark. That is his MO. Ask a question, and He will give you more info that you dreamed you would need, in fact, this reply was rather brief for him. But it is always informative, learned, and on point. And it will usually be the right answer.

Yes, but who crashes a car in an empty room other than Micheal bay?

In an environment with no wind, next to a massless spherical cow. While this might lead to an explosion, most likely it will just flash over, and everybody loses their eyebrows. You need the stoichiometry of the air/fuel mix to be just right for it combust with force. This will look like an explosion, but won't really have any concussive force to it. But it will start a lot of other things on fire, so it will appear to have exploded, but it's more like the fire just spread really quickly. You'd be better off putting 1 gallon of gas in a 50 gallon drum, seal it up, and shaking it real hard, and then remotely igniting it. Gasoline, in liquid form in a tank, is not explosive. It's highly flammable, but it won't explode. The air needs to mix with the gas in the right ratios to make it explosive. And sitting in a closed tank with not so much air in it, does not tend itself to the right environment for this to happen, and that's by design.

And moving this to the Gameplay Questions Sub forum.... I believe it is showing the bare minimum.

Moved to S&S forum, as I know this crowd, and while it may be a light discussion of QM and possible career paths associated with it, this will very shortly turn in to an argument about which quark gluon interaction is better.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you as well.

Not a problem, and welcome to the forums!

Since this discussion is completely off topic for the thread it was in, I have split it off and created it's own thread, in the Kerbal Network Sub forum. We have recently changed some rules to how new members are being handled. During the time your posts require moderator approval, you are not allowed to add an avatar. But once you do hit the required number of posts, you can add any avatar you like, as long as it fits within our rules (See guidelines at the top of this page). To do so, go into your profile by clicking the blank avatar under your name. Then in your profile, click the profile avatar again, there should be an "edit avatar button" there. It will tell you the file sizes you can do and such, you can link or upload your pic there.

Which icon are you referring to?

No, properly designed gas caps have relief valves in them to prevent such a thing. You'll not get a BLEVE scenario from a standard automotive gas tank.

From the wiki: So, the answer is, it depends.

The moment Squad starts thinking about limiting the game, instead of expanding it, is the moment.... well I don't know where I was going with this, but removing a part just cause it doesn't get much use is a step in the wrong direction.

Moving to S&S, as this is about the lander, and not really about KSP.

Sounds like a good idea, thread has been split, starting this one anew.

We (college buddy and I) hiked into the JBL (John Brooks Lodge), stayed at one of the lean-tos at the base of Gothics, got up early, Nailed Gothics and the next 6 (?) peaks heading downhill (towards Keene valley), dropped off the range, back up to the JBL, and stayed there, home Sunday night. We went light for the day trip, leaving most of our gear at the lean to. This trip was really uneventful, but that was because we had experience from before. The previous year we had done the same, but shorter, route, but it went to hell pretty quick. It was the last good day of fall, mid October. Hiked into JBL on Friday night, stayed at the same lean to we would the next year. After we were settled in, a couple other guys showed up, planning to do the same route the next day also, We'll call them Fred and Bob for the sake of the story. We slept in a little bit the next day, and the other pair got a head start. Having completely under estimated the Daks in fall, we had some difficulty getting around some of the ice that was blocking the path in secluded, not sun facing spots at the base of Gothics. Ascending Gothics, my water bottle slipped out of it's holster, and I had to descend back down the cable, climb down into a crevasse in the face and retrieve it from a 'cave' about 20 feet in the mountain. Back up we went. Up that never ending face. As we get near the top of the mountain, the trail does that loop around the top to actually get to the summit. Well there's a really nice crack on about a 50ft face leading straight up the face. Being a decent climber, I laid back on the crack, and headed up. It was an easy climb, I was still wearing my pack and hiking boots. But about halfway up, I looked down. I had completely forgotten that this crack was at the top of the 700 ft face, with nothing to slow me down if I slipped. So now I'm slightly panicked, and I have to finish this crack. I make it no problem. We spend a bit of time looking around, enjoying the view of Marcy and the rest of the Daks. So now we continue on down the rest of the ridge trail, and reach the second peak, Armstrong (I believe, Anderson?, something like that). We have lunch here. Now, the weather was beautiful, mid 50's, clear day, no weather forecast until midnight. And since we were only doing the day hike, we only brought lunch, no jackets, and 3 bottles of water between the two of us. Since we (thought) we were halfway, we enjoyed our little break for lunch. We then continued on to Upper Wolfjaw. Did UWJ, and it's mid afternoon now, time to get off the mountain and back to base camp. We descend down the ridge trail, down the giant timber ladders they built to get over the big cliffs, and reached what was "obviously" the bottom of the shoulder between Upper and Lower Wolfjaw. We then spend an hour or so looking for the trail that drops down off the ridge back to camp. We can't find it. We keep going back and forth between the base of the two peaks looking. Sun is now setting, we're almost out of water, a few sips each left, and we do not have any gear to make an overnight stay on the Great range Ridge in October a sane idea. So we decided to do Lower Wolfjaw, and the next peak, and take the next trail off the ridge and back up to camp. Did i happen to mention we had almost no gear for night? Luckily we had one flashlight between us. It mostly worked. We're heading up LWJ. It's now dark, the trail is weaving in between the trees. Luckily it's staying clear, and relatively warm (still in the high 40's), slight breeze. As we're climbing, we keep hearing this noise. *ting* We'd go another hundred yards or so. *Ting* It's getting louder. Another few hundred yards up the trail. *Ting* We can't figure out what this noise is. Oh, did I happen to mention that on Thursday night, our other college friend decided to introduce us to the movie "Deliverance" for the first time? He thought it would be fitting. We keep going, starting to get a little spooked. *Ting!* It's louder now. We're looking all around, we don't see much, it was a tiny flashlight. Mike says, "Maybe that's what killed Fred and Bob". What?! Don't say that! *TING* We try to start going faster, but that seems to be towards the source of the noise. But we have no choice. But during this whole time, the sky has been clear as I have ever seen it. And this deep in the park, there is no light (which was part of our problem to be honest), and the stars, My god, it was full of stars. *TING!* WHAT IS THAT NOISE!? It's coming from all around us now! And one of the stars.... it was glowing brighter. And brighter. The noise is is getting louder, all around us, that light is getting bigger, it's coming for us. We're starting to panic, I'm pretty sure Mike said "They're coming for us", but it could have been me. Then the plane, with it's landing lights on, flew over, headed for Lake Placid Airport. The breeze had been just right to hide the small engine noise as it approached. *TING!* And there... on tree in front of us, is a metal trail marker, swinging in the breeze, making this tinging noise. After we had caught our breath from almost screaming, we kept on going up the trail to the summit. We make the summit, and are treated to this absolutely beautiful view of a very dark mountain range. If the sky hadn't been so clear, we wouldn't have been able to see that much, but even then, it wasn't a lot, but it was still breathtaking. We break out the topo map and compass. Ever since realizing we were not where we thought we were, or that some super villain had stolen the trail off the ridge, this was our first 'clear' view of our surroundings, and our first chance to figure out where we really were. After doing a bit of triangulation, we thought we were actually 3 peaks farther down the ridge than we though. Which, in hindsight, sounds ridiculous. So we decided our best option was to keep heading down the ridge into Keene valley, grab some food at the gas station, and hike back up the access road to base camp. So we started down the mountain. At this point, we were breaking off icicles from overhanging rocks for drinking water. Those that don't know the Daks will wonder how ice would form in 50 degree weather, and in October. Well it's the Daks, and that crazy stuff happens. Descending down another timber ladder, in the dark, with one barely working tiny flashlight is no picnic. Finally, a bit later, we see a fork in the trail. Finally! A trail sign pointing in each direction is beside it. We hurry over to it. Turns out, this was the fork we were looking for originally. When we thought we were on Armstrong and had lunch, it was actually just some exposed bump on the ridge between Gothics and Armstrong. So we were a whole mountain shy of where we wanted to be when we first started looking for the trail off. What we had thought was UWJ was actually Armstrong. We headed down the mountain, finally reaching our camp somewhere around 1am. Fred and Bob were there waiting for us. They were actually getting ready for one of them to head down to JBL to get a ranger, thinking we had fallen somewhere. They knew we hadn't taken off as most of our gear was still there. I plopped down, ate a pack of dry hot chocolate mix, a granola bar, and passed out with my boots still on. And that folks, is how not to do the Great Range in a Day. When we came back the next year, Our day trip started earlier, and we carried enough stuff to make it all the way through the day if needed. That good enough @Dman979 ?

Hey I was there! Climbed that and did most of the Great Range in a day back in the 90's. Edit: I split this off from the Put a face to the Name thread, so we don't bog that one down. Post your hiking climbing Adventures Here!

It takes a few seconds of under direct the flame of a blow torch for diesel to ignite. This is a common practice in fire fighter training for learning how to put out large liquid fires. Fill a small pool half full of water, dump 50 gallons or so of diesel in it, let it settle, hold a blow torch to it, run. And yeah, diesel doesn't really explode.

I'm moving this to the SpaceCraft Exchange, as it seems to fit better there than in S&D. But this is really awesome of you! Have a like!

I said to myself I was done with this thread for the night, but since I can't post in here without posting a prime, that's a really nice pic Ben. But it turns out I'll have to raise you a Boeing 2707

Well, it started that way, I recovered, thought I had it, then NOPE! Parellel to the ground 3 feet in the air. Pretty sure I ended up with a minor concussion too, my vocabulary went all wonky tonight. I got fallacious confused with, well, something we can't talk about here. Edit: And I appreciate the irony in that.

That's what I did when I fell on the ice tonight.

Welcome to the forums! Again, we apologize, but it might work out for the better in the short term, as you won't be inundated with a plethora of parts as you figure out the game!
