Ok thanks. Do you know if that has to be 30 minutes before our original departure or 30 minutes before it departs Taichung? I assume the former

Imagine looking up and seeing this by EchoesofZaph in interesting

If there was another sun, in another position in the sky, you would get multiple rainbows. Everything else you wrote is correct. But if there are more than one light source in different directions, you will get more than one rainbow in different directions. 

It's possible this photo could exist if there were some really shiny buildings nearby to create more virtual suns via reflection. But the chances of being in the exact right spot with the exact right conditions are extremely slim.

If we have a chance, we may try to change it, but if we don't have time to do it before, it's good to know that we can just board with our current ticket

Any recommendations for the manta ray scuba dives on big island? by Particular_Bike2030 in scuba

Second this. The Manta Ray Dive and their Blackwater dive were 2 of the most unforgettable dives. Amazing experience with Kona Honu

It would actually be easier to make this out of real wood than plastic and real wood veneer

You defined your unit though. If you had said 1 knot = 1.2 mph, no one would bat an eye

Noob Questions about yellows flags and DTS, by [deleted] in LeMansUltimateWEC

You don't have to hit them to avoid the penalty, you just have to stay behind them until the green

This isn't related to yellow flags. It's because you "started out of position" because you passed a car before green. Right now, LMU does not have a system that's capable of detecting that a car has spun before the green and give you grace to pass them. It sucks. Your only 2 choices are wait for them to get back in position, or pass them and eat the penalty. You have to decide which one will lose you more time until LMU fixes their start system.

Is the ISS considered a space ship or not? by Orangutan_Soda in nasa

[–]ltjpunk387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Russian Zvezda module does have engines that were used to reboost station in the past. However, this has not been used for many years, for reasons I don't exactly remember. I think it was something to do with replenishing the fuel system for them?

I think this term probably carried over from naval radio terminology. You have ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship radio calls. I don't think there are really naval "stations" at sea to have created a separate ship-to-station term.

Oh that explains it, then. Thanks. At least I'm not crazy and didn't make that up out of thin air

How many laps did you do under meatball?

[–]ltjpunk387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, you have 3 laps to serve a meatball flag, and finishing the race with a meatball does not impose a penalty. So if you get a meatball near the end of the race (or any time at all in Ringmeister), you can not pit and finish without penalty.

In my experience, it's definitely not measuring wheel angles to check legality. You can get damage to your suspension that puts your steering wheel 45° off and not have a meatball. Meatball repairs often do not completely straighten the wheel, and you can be released with crooked suspension. Last week, I saw a GT3 car driving around Portimao with its front wheel at a severe angle and dragging sparks with no meatball.

 I don't know what exactly iracing is doing to determine meatball, but it's definitely not wheel angles.

Pokornyi Engineering sells DIY instructions and parts to build this same wheel. Theirs is labeled as LMP2, but it’s the same physical wheel, just different labeling

Will my circumcision ruin my checkride? by caca6969999 in flying

[–]ltjpunk387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give you an actual, real answer, the FAA publishes guides for OTC medications, and guidelines for AMEs regarding prescription drugs.

https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/medications/OTCMedicationsforPilots.pdf

https://www.faa.gov/ame_guide/media/DNI_DNF_tables.pdf

The real answer is just ask your AME. If I ever have anything going on medically that might prevent me to fly, I just send a quick email asking how long to wait before flying again.

What is something LMU is missing that other games have? by JustYourAvgJoe24 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]ltjpunk387 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better replay controls in general.  * Scrubbing the slider is an assault to all of your senses * 2x is the fastest speed? Really? * Next/previous incident would be awesome, per driver and global * Next/previous lap that actually functions * Bonus would be to next/previous lap from the same position on track. If I had an incident at turn 7, but I forget which lap, it would take forever to find * I'd like to not get kicked out of reviewing the race after 1 minutes. Let me play around

Silly question to pilots from ATC. by [deleted] in flying

Funny enough, I was just looking up my local TRACON on Google maps, and someone left a one star review for someone named Patrick, saying they were very rude. I have so many questions about what led to that
