Due to other threads popping up, discussion of the AN 225 has been moved.

Overlapping threads have been merged.

What was the first musical album?

Consensus is that you now have one tall lasagna.

I will do some tests at tonight's family dinner.

So... I have most of my shower thoughts at work. My job can be very detailed and technical, but often tedious and mundane. Listening to Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything”. Delightfully excellent book, if it is ~25 years out of date, and would be enjoyed by just about everybody on here. Listening to the part about Halley, Newton, Principia, and gravity while I’m tossing around 20kg lumps of steel. I start thinking about how the Earth Is pulling down on the steel, and I can feel them get heavier. I look down at my feet and yell out “Quit pulling you —-! You’re making this harder!” Notice a coworker looking over and giving me a weird look.

Some content has been removed. Please remember some aspects of the game are not obvious to everybody. And also, people here are quite helpful, work with them to help you figure out your issues.

The Forum Moderators have asked, on a number of occasions, to keep this discussion civil, and it has failed to do so. This particular argument is almost as old as the forum itself, and it almost always ends in bickering and tears. Over the years, we have established some inarguable facts: Some players enjoy autopilot features in the game, and this is completely fine. Some players would rather manually control their craft, and this is also completely fine. The inclusion of autopilot features have not, and probably will not, prevent the second group from enjoying the game their way. At this time, we are reopening the thread for discussion. If you have insights to add that do not contradict the three stated facts above, please do so. Any comments that are directed at another poster (or at a group of players, such as asserting or implying that what they enjoy is not, in fact, completely fine) will not be tolerated and we will be dealing with them in a more direct manner.

I just got yelled at for running around the shop wielding the 50” (~1.5m) calipers yelling. “I am Sir measure-a-lot!”

I have some broken ones I could donate. but yes, my eye twitched a bit at this one. EDIT: Just ran over to a coworker with my broken calipers and made this joke. His eye twitched too.

As @HebaruSan mentioned, if you have any questions at all about a post, just report the post and leave a comment. We’ll handle it from there. Doesn’t matter what the issue is, we’re the ones that any newbie ire should be directed towards.

@DSG Cubik take a look at this thread: It should answer most of your addon posting related questions.

Since KSP won’t be getting stock MP, we can let this thread go.

Huh... who woulda known that Boyle’s law would actually have real world uses.

Moved to add on discussion.

That was exactly my thought too.

That be My Van hammer (Ya know what, I’m leaving the unintended typo in, fitting for this forum) I am wearing socks with capybaras on them tonight, and nobody here at work knows.

I’ve been planning on doing a little essay/thesis on metrology in the home shop, perhaps knowing we have some hobby machinists here will spur me to Finish it.

@ShpagetI'm more a lathe guy than a mill guy, and 99% steel, so I really can't answer your question. But I will say this, buy good tools, and set them up to last. Cheap tools aren't usually made well, and will have imperfections, affecting your cut quality and the length of the tool's life, forcing you to buy more. You can quickly see how long it will take to save money by buying the good stuff early on. Although, while you're learning to setup your machine, having a decent stock of 'expendable' tools, cause you're going to crash some, as you really don't want to shatter that shiny ISCAR endmill. But once you got it setup, run the good tools. And don't push the setup, there's no reason to save 45-60 seconds on a 15 minute cycle time running the tools at the top end of their speed range, especially since I doubt you're doing large production runs. Keep em smooth and keep them cool.

I know I drove this bus off the cliff, so with a smile I’ll say let’s not get too far off topic (wait, this thread has a topic? That can’t be right), and take this line of jokes too far before Snark rolls in with a scythe and a GWOT (patented Giant Wall Of Text) and explains to us why politics is not allowed on here. Carry on.

But that’s not what would actually happen. It’d probably be a repeat of last time Lichtenstein went to war where they sent 85 troops and came back with 86. They’d invade Maldives outpost and make more friends.

Welcome back @Whackjob! Good to see you again! Your thread has been moved to Fan Works.
