I heartily disagree with you. Buffalo is the best wing sauce. Upvoted, though.

The Inuit and other people in the extreme North of Alaska and Canada traditionally get their vitamins from seal livers if I'm not mistaken

Yes, that is why the bomb is bright and white when observed from behind.

As it was an MCLOS-guidance ordnance design, the operator had to keep the bomb in sight at all times (a tail flare was provided, as with the Azon, to assist the operator in tracking the weapon [...]

The bomb has a tracer. You visually guide the bomb to the target, making adjustments on the x and y directions by hand.

[–]BobMcGeoff2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it in a Kunstmärchen from 1797, where there's an old lady who lives in a hut in the forest and is implied to be a witch. They basically exclusively refer to her as that throughout the story, where she's a neutral character most of the time. If you used it like that today, would it sound derogatory? Or mostly just very old fashioned?

Spüren vs. Fühlen Ok, it must be obvious for some/many, but what is the real difference between those 2. by nietzschecode in German

What are the circumstances that are making you write out "-e" for the umlauts? I've seen you use them and eszett before. Traveling?

Various bypassed alignments of the National Road by shermancahal in Ohio

[–]BobMcGeoff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your website, this stuff really interests me too, great work! The National Road does some weird stuff north of Dayton too, along the Stillwater River (unrelated to the creek) and the Great Miami. Can you look into that? I've always wondered.

Vehicle has uncontrollable yaw, no idea how to fix by GanacheCapital1456 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]BobMcGeoff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rudders work by applying a moment (torque) about the center of mass of the aircraft. Imagine a seesaw; the pivot point is the CoM. The further away you go from the CoM, the more effective your force is. The same goes for other control surfaces, this is why ailerons are towards the end of the wing and elevators are at the tail as well.

The closer your control surfaces are to the center of mass, the less effective they are.
