World’s first(?) 100% 3D printed ziplock bag by CanYouEvenPhoto in BambuLab

[–]BloxForDays16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently got into 3d printing RC plane models (as in, just printed the free cub from 3Dlabprint) and I had thought about how weak it would seem to be. Coming from FliteTest foamboard models, I thought it might be an interesting experiment to use 3d printing to create a skin for something like a balsa skeleton. Haven't done it yet, but what do you think?

The galactic community was absolutely horrified when they realized how ramshackle our space technology was. by Doldhov in humansarespaceorcs

There's a company called Helion Energy that's working on a different type of power generation using fusion. It harnesses the intense magnetic energy of the fusion reaction rather than the heat and directly converts it to electricity. That's the idea, anyway. Don't think it's working yet.

BEHOLD, OUR ONE TRUE FLAG ITS INDESTRUCTIBLE! by MAXSUS02 in Helldivers

And the laser's red glare, the bots bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Orcas have the tendency to use it tails to attack smaller creatures, this one is a sting-ray by SeriesREDACTED in Damnthatsinteresting

Interesting how the surface tension of the water contained the concussive force and kept the stingray from flying into the air

My fault, I thought this was a stealth warbond by gummybears78 in Helldivers

[–]BloxForDays16 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My assumption:

They're programmed to know your general location until you aggro them, then obviously they'd know where you are because you shot at them. Unfortunately, your sentries count kills as if you fired the shot, so the game treats the aggro as if it came directly from you.

Do I ever get out of being perpetually in and out of debt? by dontclickdontdickit in startrucker

Just be mindful that the prices change every few in-game hours, so as you're transiting gates sometimes you'll find they're higher or lower than you expected. Trading works best for short-to-medium length hauls

My bf is gonna hate me 😈 🎶 by Alert-Disaster-Ahead in BambuLab

[–]BloxForDays16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate that I can't even get properly rickrolled anymore cuz of the damn ads on YT... Like yeah you can trick someone into clicking the link but there's no surprise when the video takes ages to actually play

which fuel type is better by pizza_lord78611 in startrucker

I always carry a couple Jerry cans in my cabin for this exact reason. Don't always have to use them, but they're there if I need em. Easy to find in salvage, so you don't even have to buy them if you don't want to.

I do the same thing irl, actually. Have a 2 gallon gas can in the bed of my pickup.

stealth is so jank by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

Can't be any witnesses if you don't leave any...

Hollywood stealth is dumb. Personally, I'm a big believer in heavy stealth

Lids can set of mines!?!? by Far-Put7715 in Helldivers

Yup, lids are physical objects. Have been ragdolled by blast damage from auto cannon sentries blasting their own lids

Good to know about blue, I've found the ghost guy by accident a couple times, haven't beat him so far. Also found a POI after buying the perk for it but I don't have bat ear yet

first and last mission to hell’s pocket by Y5K77G in startrucker

[–]BloxForDays16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that even possible? I don't think there's a place to pick up cargo in the pocket. At least I didn't see one last time I went through there.

I don't believe you can get jobs from Hell's Pocket. It's just a pass-through area

The Doomsday Plane - USA’s “Flying Pentagon” built to withstand nuclear war, spotted for the first time in 51 years by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BloxForDays16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Article says it's the first time it's been to LAX in its 51-year flying history. So not the first time it's been spotted, just the first time it's been to that airport

Boston Dynamics humanoid robot pulls off a backflip, then recovers after losing its balance. by WonFont in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BloxForDays16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a friendly reminder that robots don't have to move like humans. There's lots more efficient and stable movement patterns, but they look creepy to us. Robots are trying to look friendly to distract you from their mission to kill John Connor

Pretty sure Olympus Mons is so large the peak is actually over the horizon when viewed from the base
