InterCity

Don't worry. We got this.

Granted. It is industrial-waste flavoured and you get poisoned eating it. I wish for a more stable and more powerful computer.

Thanks for all the ideas, guys. Here's how I solved the issue: I've put six equally IR diodes on the rear of my collar, and programmed the drone to hover in the air 1.8 m high (Downward pointing ultrasonic range finder for $8 on dealextreme). The drone is then programmed to follow the strongest source of IR light in sight, and maintain distance of about 1,5 metres from me (computed via the visible spaces between IR diodes and assured by another, this time forward-facing ultrasonic range finder). If for any reason the drone loses contact with IR source for more than three seconds, it switches to bluetooth guidance and will try to follow my mobile phone while avoiding any obstacles. I didn't test it in real world yet, but at least for my laptop that I used to simulate the thought process of the future drone, it seems alright.

Your herbicide was banned. Sorry.

Repair plan could go like this: 1) Put another structural panel below the service bay 2) Hyperedit/fly to duna, try the sinking depth. 3) Repeat steps 1-2 until reaching desired height 4) ??? 4) Profit! Or you can try putting landing legs onto the service bay in such a manner that they end at the height you want. I'm not sure that's gonna work, though. The panel solution is your best bet.

cd TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ ./ts3client_runscript.sh Seems like I was playing DotA

I might just do the IR beacon thingy. Thanks a lot

Ambidextrous. I write with my left hand, but use my right hand for mouse. I use the left hand to hold a knife when eating, but usually grab stuff with my right. It's hard to tell. Might be ambisinister, though, because my handwriting takes a joint team of MI5 and CIA cryptographists to read, although it has probably something to do with the fact that I work as a doctor.

Hello, guys. I'm thinking about modifying my quadcopter with Raspberry Pi, voice command and make it for example follow me. The problem is, I can't find a reliable way of navigating the drone towards myself. Computer vision/blob detection? Get ready for advanced algorithms, blob detection won't do. Human being is too complex for that. GPS? Not enough precision, need to be precise on the scale of centimetres. ADF radio beacons/directional antennae? Don't know how this would work at such small scale. Voice detection? Might just work, but unreliable due to ambient noises. I'm basically asking, is there a reliable way of directing a small machine autonomously? Because it might be a funny gift for someone, and a good DIY project...

I'm a skyrim bookworm. And estate agent. Also, my gf has a strange obsession on wearing every single piece of clothing she can get her hands on. Funnily enough, IRL she's pretty frugal and doesn't buy everything she sees.

I MechJeb. Though I sometimes do something by hand for fun, usually I just MechJeb through transfers. Also, I'm terrible at docking, so I leave this to my more precise metal friend too.

I listen to the same music I use in space engineers, mainly because I'm too lazy to turn it off. It's a random blend of sci-fi soundtracks, Metallica, Linkin Park and Two steps from hell music. Strangely enough, once I had an epic landing on Laythe, and just as I was approaching, a song by Two steps from hell called "This must be the mothership" started playing. The sheer epicness of the moment when I was on final approach with that anthem in background was... well... of epic proportions.

I have 7 kerbals on *cough* permanent assignments. It's 4 female vs 3 male. Coincidence? I don't think so.

You're not alone, my friend. Luckily, I back up regularly. All hail the mighty NAS.

Zero Wing! All your base are belong to us! Now seriously: I've never really stopped playing Worms II. Still remains a great party game. Unfortunately, it doesn't work too well on my PC anymore. Also, Age of Empires II.

sorry, I couldn't resist: Vesper faction, while you were creating a black hole, we captured your rear with out space cruiser fleet. All your base are belong to us. Sincerely yours, Tau Ceti Empire.

I feel so... small right now.

In my experience, yes. The new drag model is much less soup than it used to be before. I'm not sure whether I spared 6000 dV but there is definitely less challenge to it (although that might be fixed by engine nerfs). Don't take this experience as a 100% proof though, I've never done the mission full vanilla (I use KW Rocketry). MechJeb or KER might help you to see the actual dV used - just check their respective info panels.

Overheard conversation in a hospital bedroom (I was in the ready room, drinking coffee): Man: I thought the car will hold better if I go fast. It always does in the F1 races! Woman: Well, sweetheart, you shouldn't believe everything they say on TV. The other day, they were saying that first humans appeared 40 000 years ago. Damn, It's only 2015! Like, for real? Thanks god stupidity and ignorance is not transmitted genetically, otherwise I'd be worried about their children.

Hello, and welcome to KSP Open it just as you slow down to 300 m/s. Otherwise you'll explode. Also, it helps if you lower your apoapsis before reentering (by burning against the direction you're going).

Okay, let's think about this one in terms of timeline: Day 0: First small outbreak of zombies First zombies appear, and depending on their location (It's different if you have a pack of zombies somewhere in Siberia or downtown New York), people notice. A large spring of new tweets, facebook posts and forum discussions appear, putting a strain on the system but nothing too big. At this point, the zombies can be contained and eradicated (albeit it might take some bold decisions modern governments probably won't make, e.g. nuking down the affected city). Traffic in the affected zone will get a bit clogged, as many people will panic and try to get out. Definitely stay out of the highway today. Days 2-3-4-5: Zombie numbers soaring At days 2 to 5, zombies will have already eaten 50% of the population in the concerned area (Again, it might differ whether it's a capital city or McRedneck's farm). Their numbers are too high to cope with locally, and the plague was likely carried out of the "red" zone, meaning multiple new outbreaks in nearby (and far) cities. Major roads - and traffic network in general - will fail. Abandoned cars have piled up on highways and major streets, forming obstacles for people desperately trying to get away from the zombies. At this point, no shipments will be coming to the area due to sheer fear of zombies, meaning there will be no fresh food in stores. Electricity, water and news will be still running, because so far, the problem is localized and power plants tend to cover a large area, and water pumping stations are largely autonomous or remote-controlled. Many fires will spring during this time (from stoves left on to malfunctioning electronics), and there will be no one to extinguish them. You'd better get your badS zombie survival team at this point if you want the cool factor (and chances of survival), because it will get more and more difficult. Traffic Failed Week 2-3: Complete overrrun At this point, vast majority of those unfortunate enough to be caught in the outbreak area will be already zombified or dead for various other reasons. Nevertheless, assuming most zombies are dumb, relatively slow creatures, they are not the greatest concern of the surviving people: Rogue groups of thugs will roam the area, commiting atrocities never imagined before (let's say that you're lucky if they kill you on sight). Fresh water is no longer running, and depending on the local power plant, there will be blackouts, since power plants will get abandoned. (as said before, this is less true for those countries using nuclear power. Those using coal will be in deep trouble). If you still have electricity and wired connection to see it, the internet is now a complete mess, with the largest of the largest sites just barely holding the stream of data, and smaller sites going offline for extended periods, ddosed by legitimate users. Most stores have already been looted, and unsupervised industrial plants are turning into timed bombs, filled with thousands of litres of dangerous chemicals. Traffic grid failed Water distribution failed Food distribution failed Security grid failed Electrical grid failing Week 4+: Afterlife Pretty much like the weeks before, but these days, you'd better have a couple of solar panels on the roof or having your survival base in a small hydro power plant (Although being in the Hoover dam won't hurt). It's safe to assume that you can now forget about internet, since there will be no coverage as soon as the electricity fails (maybe sooner). Early in the fourth week, you'll be greeted with spectacular fireworks show if you live near a chemical plant, because pressure valves will inevitably start releasing large quantities of gasses (ignited by existing fires). Even if there are no fires, get a hazmat suit, because the air is going to be toxic for the next couple of days (you can find one in that abandoned hardware store, fire station or factory - if you have enough balls to go straight to the source of the noxious fumes). The apocalypse is getting global, with isolated, undeveloped and/or island nations like North Korea, Greenland, and Papua new Guinea remaining the pinnacles of the civilization. Developed island nations, like Japan or England might survive as well, providing that the incubation time of the zombie virus is short enough to be detected before anyone infected can leave controlled areas - otherwise they won't fare much better than the continents. In the immediate first outbreak zone, everything left of the civilization will be buildings, most of them either looted or burnt to the ground. Good news is that there will be even less people every day, as the rogue groups exterminate each other. Everything failed

This: After a spaceplane re-entry with FAR went spectacularly wrong, I managed to save the entire crew - and get close enough to KSC in the process. Yay! I did it!

I'd have to see the plane to be able to help, but as you describe it, it's because it's tail heavy. I think it's because the plane is: a) not totally empty as you return - KSP burns fuel from nose to tail - meaning that your CoM gets shifted. balanced "too well" - generally speaking, you want your CoL slightly behind your CoM to get more stability. A good rule of thumb I use is to space them with about 5% of the length of the plane. For more info, post a screenshot with CoL and CoM shown. I can help you further.

So that was the one time I launched a mission to rotate a space station's crew and test that cool new spaceplane (that we've spent hours working on with my wife). Except... I forgot the crew. I realized that when I docked with the space station. Oh, and I forgot to switch to long-range configuration, so the tanks were half empty from start. It turned out that it wasn't such a biggie, since the plane was heavily overengineered (Designed for souposphere, tested with FAR ). Still, I had to waste another truckload of funds to get a new plane up there and complete the mission. It was on hard mode...

Ubuntu x64... no. Windoze 7... No. I have a mediocre laptop with I5-3210M CPU, so I guess it's your PC... What computer are you using?
