SaturnianBlue Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Given that final exams week was coming up, I decided I would sleep a little more than usual. With that, I realized that I probably haven't slept for 10 hours straight during the entire school year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJ Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Dove into my first attempt at renewable energy. Bought two 40 Watt Solar Panels for the RV. Might pick up 2 more (they're on a clearance at Canadian Tire). That is all for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Steve Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Today was citywide garage sale day, and I bought five things, a 25c Xylophone, a free mini etch-a-sketch keychain, a 25c board game, a $5 perplexus... ...and a $5 telescope which is probably in the same general power range as my current telescope. It's really dirty, but besides that, it is in working condition. Even if it is less powerful than my current telescope, it looks 5x cooler than my current one, comes with a stand, and really, you can't get any sort of telescope for $5. So that's probably the best thing I've ever found on any annual garage sale day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally planning on a low concentration HTP monopropellant thruster because it's the closest thing to being legal. Getting that telescope into orbit will require something exceedingly large... I have just the thing. *digs around to find notebook* Spoiler Some pages, 1/4 to 1/3 of them: Delta-V calculations: Large scale wall component intergrity tests 1-2 and RCS system 1:1 scale model: First plans for the capsule: Capsule detail and rocket layout at bottom: 1:1 control panel layout diagram: 1/10th scale capsule, LES, and OPP mockup, radiators not shown: Deteriorating 1/10th scale booster mockup: Secondary payload: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Today, well, yesterday, we found out just how grumpy our beehive can get. Horrible weather to be opening the hive, cold, cloudy, damp. That means nearly all of the bees were inside instead of out foraging, with nothing better to do than get all up in my business. As soon as we took the cover off the bees started poking their butts up and buzzing. When I reached in with the frame holder, a half dozen bees just shot to it like BB’s to a magnet, it was trippy as heck. Then they started charging at our faces. Only managed to get one frame out: We just added a second (empty) brood box last week, so that’s really good comb drawing they’ve done, but the fact that it’s empty means they haven’t been able to get out foraging cuz of the weather. So we decided to just top off the feeder and leave them alone for now. Edited June 11, 2018 by CatastrophicFailure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusRocketry Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Talked to my friend about music- he's a total EDM purist and doesn't usually like any other music, let alone talk about it. He's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubinator Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I decided to start writing my own theme song. It would be a four movement suite, with each movement composed after completing a step in my grand plan. Since I've completed Step 1, I'm writing the first movement. The final movement will hopefully be written from my cabin inside a spaceship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way that "EDM" is treated like a niche thing like it hasnt been around for 3 decades and spawned basically every other electronic genre... ..tell him if he isnt listening to Orbital, he knows nothing and should go home. ...and if you really wean to outfreak him, ask him how many Kraftwerk vinyls he owns.

Orbital? Kraftwerk? WipEout. WipEout is the shnizzle and will always BE the shnizzle. P.E.T.R.O.L from 1995 will always be my favorite.

I don't have record player either, it's a gift for my brother. My dad used to pick up vinyl by the box at garage sales. I think he had about 8000 records when I moved out.

I suppose it doesn't really matter how old the record is to some people, it's just that it's a old-style record and the design on the cover is a justifiable reason to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSEP Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I found out that you can comfortably house around 9 billion people in a 40km box building, and if we fit half of all Earths land area with these things, and that we could house something like 17 quadrillion people on Earth. I think i have gone full on midnight crazy again with my absolutely bogus ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
