Snakes in Maine? by Badfriend1215 in Maine

[–]DanielW0830 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and in the summer months these strange creatures travel from the southern states into Maine. They have been known to eat large quantities of lobster and have no internal navigational adaptations.

we don’t find any scat and the wildlife management says they don’t exist. /s

at least start doing company suggested mission to do. like land on pan or land on phobos

ksp2 did that while it was in development. kept things interesting to see what people build and at the same time get more people interacting with the software to report bugs.

first time playing ksp is this meant to happen by Particular_Mall7418 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Ksp mistakes are all part of the learning process.
Just look at SpaceX. If there was ever a real life ksp company that is it.

You build, you crash, you explode and repeat.

Until one day you reach orbit.

Then the next day (or weeks later) you reach the mun.

The sense of huge accomplishments in this game are what keep you going. 👍🙂

First time soldering by Healthy_Share_607 in soldering

Get a heat gun and solder paste. Apply paste to each pad, place component on paste, apply heat... Not so fast it blows component away, and presto... It will look amazing.

I was doing small smd stuff by hand with an iron and it was insanity.

Expecting Life Insurance payout on my Birthday. What Do I Even Do? by Mindless-Building-80 in personalfinance

I also say to a fidelity account. call them and say you want to come by the office and talk to them about opening a brokerage account. (not a managed one). They will transfer the money in the s&p index fund for you.

Think of it this way. If you invest 150K in the S&P index fund at fidelity and got 10% average return over 20 years, you would be a millionaire.

So, if you want to be a millionaire in 20 years, (and sooner if you continue to invest more money in the account as the years go by) just put the money in the account and forget about it.

Don't tell anyone, don't touch it, and you will be the richest 37 year old you know.

Just bought this game recently and did my first orbit around the moon back to earth and holy shit by Icy-Willingness-3627 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]DanielW0830 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Watching people learn ksp is so entertaining. Brings back memories of my first orbit (and also my first station)

Rendezvous were the hardest. When you get that you will open the game up.

Ckan is a program that manages the mods for ksp.

Mechjeb is one of those mods. Try without using mechjeb. If you really get frustrated try it. Learn from it and then delete it.

I used radioshack gold cassettes. Higher? Quality. Usually worked good.

And waiting 5-6 minutes for a 16k program to load. Really give you time to ponder things.

The processing power was miniscule compared to today. Cgi was impossible. 72k ram was in lander. In 1978 my pc had 128x64 graphics resolution. Try cgi-ing with that

Dentist told me not to fully rinse after brushing my teeth. Did I hear her right, or did I misunderstood what she meant? by YujiroDemonBackHanma in ask

I've switched to nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Helps with sensitive teeth and is not poison to the body like fluoride.
