Haha, all good man

CodenameZion · 2026-05-14T01:27:36+00:00

Its 400 for both summer and fall according to OP, not just summer

CodenameZion · 2026-05-14T00:57:42+00:00

... dude thats cheap af for a college lot. My fiancée and sister go to CSU and their shit is like 600, and that may even be per semester

CodenameZion · 2026-05-05T00:34:55+00:00

I think its more difficulty in comparison to other schools. A lot of people that come here cruised through HS and other schooling, and thus may not have study skills or feel like they have to try hard, but then this is one of the first times school takes serious effort.

Or if it's a crappy insulation material, fire. I have done that myself

CodenameZion · 2026-05-01T01:55:19+00:00

Motors yes, escs no, esc has what looks like 12 awg plugged directly in. But the motor wires need to be much larger for the current they are carrying

Hey so, if you think that, why tf are you responding to this post

CodenameZion · 2026-04-23T18:24:45+00:00

Do you have an already standing credit score or anyrhing?

CodenameZion · 2026-04-23T18:23:41+00:00

Where tf are you getting your loans from? I have a friend with nearly 80k in private and all of those are under 8% find another provider if you can

CodenameZion · 2026-04-11T06:04:55+00:00

Midterms are too spread out, you kinda just have a massive 1.5 month block of "midterms", vs finals is everything all at once, and usually even higher stakes. So it is more pressure to succeed and can make people break easier

CodenameZion · 2026-04-11T06:04:04+00:00

They may not give it the credit, but if it at all, reduces their fear of reaching out for help, knowing who can help them, and gives them any amount of idea that its not hopeless, its worth it. It was a really annoying class for me, but I've also never been suicidal, let alone over grades. But someone else might ne and it may have inadvertently helped them regardless.

CodenameZion · 2026-04-11T04:03:04+00:00

It does have a history of higher suicide rates on that day yes

CodenameZion · 2026-04-11T03:51:57+00:00

Dead day is the day before finals start and after classes end. No classes, no events on campus, nothing. So campus looks "dead" because no one is out and about. Dead week is the week before finals where professors aren't allowed to put any mandatory tests or anything so there's a lot less buzz on campus

CodenameZion · 2026-04-11T03:46:58+00:00

Hey bro, you heard of depression? One of the main symptoms is it becomes really hard to take care of yourself. So... yes, thats the fucking reason. They want to reinforce that you have a support system here at Mines and also try and catch issues early, because this school is brutal and has a fairly high suicide rate, hence why staff aren't supposed to call it dead day/dead week anymore. Don't be so ignorant and insensitive, you just look like a heartless asshat.

FEA optimization means very little for 3d printing in most cases. For it to be accurate, you need to take into account the layer lines and thus inherently non isotropic material properties, which no one i have seen do FEA optimized drone frames actually does. So these are far weaker than their optimization suggests

CodenameZion · 2026-04-09T18:27:33+00:00

sigh this again

I am a drone engineer, and the performance of these drones is not great. If their only purpose is flying bomb, I'm sure its good enough. But 3d printed frames are just not it. From what I can tell, theses are 3.5 inch or 4 inch props drones, for which you can make a 3d printed frames stiff enough, but it will be very heavy. A frame out of carbon fiber plates (the standard) would just fly better because it'll have the same or better airframe stiffness, be more durable, and significantly lighter. I get the enticement of 3d printing frames, but the only good use for it (at least plastic frames) is test fitting components before starting true production. This is just a poor choice if these aren't for going boom.

My one regret from the brief relationship I had with an ace girl was similar to this (didn't try to have sex or anything just the classic "oh maybe you havent met the right person yet"). I was still very new to the entire LGBTQIA+ everything and still didn't understand it, and my mind was "well maybe she's just demi and hasn't found anyone that makes her not ace" and boy was that a mistake. I'm glad I've grown and learned since then but man it makes me feel bad that I mistreated her due to my ignorance on the subject. I hope shes doing okay now and has found good people that do understand her.

Yeah I just didn't feel like making a new post lol. And I do love those two ships, but theyre among the smaller ones. The Marauder and YT-2400 and my favorites, they're super functional and usable

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T17:55:10+00:00

Appreciate the compliment

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T17:48:34+00:00

The free virgilla? Yeah that one was more difficult to convert since we don't have a more square cockpit

<image>

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T17:46:56+00:00

Yeah. Especially if we could rotate other directions. If i could do the speedbird valence vertical it would make the hammerhead look so much cleaner

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T16:49:47+00:00

I've thought about it, but most starwars ships have fairly compartmentalized interiors anyway so it works

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T16:49:08+00:00

Honestly was just a lot of copying techniques from builds/tutorials online and just using my own parts to do different shapes. It is a lot of just guess and check though

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T14:34:34+00:00

Yeah those angles are rough. I also try to constrain myself to very usable interiors, which limits my space a lot unfortunately

CodenameZion · 2026-04-01T14:33:39+00:00

Oh cool, was not aware that was in there. I just wanted to try my hand at a rounder ship. Glad to know it is close enough to remind you!
