KAL 9000 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 When you almost scream at someone for thinking that New Horizons is exiting our galaxy, not our solar system.

cubinator Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 When you are bothered so much by the amount of patterns in the universe that you have a sudden urge to sit and roll a die for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0111narwhalz Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 When you think about your biology class in terms of thermodynamics. "The kidneys, as well as the lungs and skin, excrete entropy." When you optimise things like can-crushing. If you put them all on the ground, so they lie on their sides, and then line up their axis with your foot's longitudinal axis, you can crush each can in one stomp. Just give your foot a bit of forward movement when it hits them. Works (almost) every time! When you have long conversations about such topics as, "What constitutes a car?"

cubinator Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) You know you're a nerd when you can remember your height only by how close it is to the NASA astronaut height limit. I will likely end up very close to the upper limit when I stop growing... Edited April 17, 2016 by cubinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you got good at KSP by learning about transfer windows and ΔV without mods. My first year or so, before I learned how mods work, was dominated by me holding a protractor up to the screen to find interplanetary trajectories. I still always keep at hand, while playing KSP: -My phone, with ΔV maps and lists of phase angles -My graphing calculator, for calculating ΔV, TWR, and other stuff -My protractor, for when I don't have a phase angle readout -[and also my tower of cubes, because I always have at least a cube or two at hand] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the reboot had a way of cutting out all of the charm and "campiness" from ST and shoving in eye candy instead. BUT! to stay on topic, When you know pi to the 100th digit.

Real nerds were lined up to catch it in theaters on opening day. Most of them saw it twice the first day. Those are nerds. They skipped school or called in to work. If they were broke, they went out and panhandled for the scratch. Real nerds found a way. You, sir, must give up your nerd card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
