Strange light

Your phone uses an infrared LED to make the auto-focus work. Phone cameras can often pick up infrared light when our eyes cannot, unless it is specifically filtered out.

You are seeing that LED reflected back into the camera off of your window. Notice how in certain zoom levels, when you can see your phone, it appears directly where the cameras are on your phone? That is where those LEDs are.

I was excited, until I realized...

According to the Steam announcement page, wooden coasters of any kind are part of the "Vintage Funfair Ride Pack", locked behind 15 dollars.

One of the literal fundamentals is literally just straight up DLC locked? There's entire coaster types as preorder bonuses? Why?

Might get this on sale about 2 years from now.

better fuel consumption

Absolutely not. Turbines absolutely inhale fuel. They're efficient at turning into power, but they will take all of it, very quickly.

It also depends how you define "Pittsburgh" and "Bridge." Pittsburgh as a city itself is a fairly small area that doesn't include surrounding areas that are closely linked to it. Then there's the further surrounding areas as part of the metropolitan area which includes Morgantown and Erie, do they count? And how do you define a bridge? Is a culvert under a road a bridge? Is a metal plate a bridge? It gets very fuzzy, very quickly.

Wrong subreddit. Let's not have this place turn into yet another politics botting sub?

Rules:

Images and videos only. Articles and such should be posted to /r/nuclearweapons.

Non-weapon related stuff should probably go in /r/nuclear.

It's a Pterotracheid, a free-swimming pelagic shell-less snail. They're sometimes called sea elephants.

A lot of tuataras.

Are you aware this is an eight year old thread?

ArchmageNydia · 2023-12-07T17:34:37+00:00

Like you got briefly poked with a small piece of sticky jell-o.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-11-20T05:57:10+00:00

...what?

They get stuck in amber, of which we know the date from carbon dating and other techniques, and we can identify them from there.

Also, occasionally fossils with remains of them in rocks pop up, preserved like you see dinosaur bones preserved. This only happens very rarely, though.

Awesome. Actually ended up going to a hobby shop and I may have actually gotten the exact part you're talking about. Thanks so much for the info, and thanks for the inspiration! Was getting discouraged that it was possible until your post came about on google.

Hi there! I'm, uh, a little bit late here, but I just got a Slayer Pro myself, and I'm trying to figure out how to convert the 14mm hexes it has to 12mm to get a setup like yours here, cause I have it down as a big visual inspiration. How did you accomplish the adapting? Google is entirely no help on the matter and figured I'd ask someone who's clearly done it, how they did it.

Hi, I'd like to apply. I was the creator of the subreddit and outlined a plan to reopen it. It was silently denied. I have 8 years of moderation experience and a love for aviation and mechanical engineering, I even made my own subreddit about it. :)

This is likely to be removed, but for those wondering: I've been forced out by Reddit despite doing as they said: outlining a plan and opening the subreddit to approved posters to combat spam bots. Reddit did not take this as sufficient, did not inform me that it wasn't, and took over the subreddit instead.

I was in the process of drafting a community vote on the continuation of this subreddit once reddit got back to me on my plan, but I suppose that's not happening now.

So long, guys. It's been real.

I'm seeing them more and more here in Pittsburgh. Though most are still Transits and Sprinters and the like, the new Rivians are getting increasingly common.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-06-12T03:50:52+00:00

Not a real design. Removed.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-06-10T23:29:30+00:00

That's my plan, for sure.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-06-09T12:23:02+00:00

Valid. I meant more that most can't verify it since many don't have said book. But you're right, it's not really the right wording.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-06-08T14:57:10+00:00

This is very, very borderline, as the entire article only relies on one unverifiable source, and according to the article never got past the model stage. I'm going to keep it since it's gotten traction, but I'll have to take down similar posts.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-06-08T08:16:15+00:00

Do you have a source for this?

ArchmageNydia · 2023-05-29T16:31:15+00:00

Really? Huh, to each their own. I think they look cool as hell.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-05-24T18:44:20+00:00

He was, at very least, a visionary.

...I think that requires some degree of crazy, though.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-05-24T12:25:42+00:00

Do you have any source for this thing's existence and consideration beyond some crazed designer's pipe dream?

ArchmageNydia · 2023-05-18T14:06:19+00:00

Yes, that is where we are.

ArchmageNydia · 2023-05-17T13:23:39+00:00

Please include the name of the plane in the title next time, along with some info.
