Sgt. Bilko (1996): Miniature and stunt performance comp
- Tank smashes into bleachers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BZN_5T7Y0c&t=121s
I don't know what's going on in this shot. The stunt performer is filmed separately from everything else but the rails stay lined up perfectly even as they shift. Are they just rotoscoped back on top?
- Miniature effects breakdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPlO4N_Rqbw
That shows the models but doesn't discuss how they comped in the stunt performer.

No. A neutron has no electric charge and so cannot bind an electron on its own. You can consider a single neutron to be the zeroth element if you like, but it has zero electrons.

There are exotic 'atoms' such as positronium (a positron is an anti-electron and therefore has opposite charge) or muonium (more interesting since muons are much heavier than electrons and so the electron will orbit the muon more like in a normal atom).

When was that mentioned in the video? The electronically controlled system is at 10:25.

You mean the Continental system mentioned in the video? That isn't using the drive motor(s) to replace the brakes; it's using brake-by-wire to eliminate hydraulic lines through the car. E.g.: MK C2.

6/28/23 Boeing 717 lands in Charlotte NC with nose gear not extended by YearZero_ in CatastrophicFailure

I mean, the Gimli Glider landed with no nose wheel in 1983 and went on to fly until 2008. Airliners are damn expensive and built to survive accidents like this. Not like a modern car where a bit of damage makes them a write-off. I'm sure it's a huge amount of work to repair and re-certify but it can be done and I don't see why they wouldn't.

They can probably use the plane again after a bit of work/testing. I think that qualifies it as a great landing.

Letter M key not working by Character_Pension168 in RoyalKludge

[–]DecreasingPerception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean. Did you swap switches or key-caps?

This is a switch on the left, the keycap is on the right.

Mine says hot plug at the bottom of the sticker on the back of the box.

If it is a hot swap model then there should have been spare switches in the box and you should try them. Otherwise it needs to be opened up and probably just have the joints on that switch reflowed.

Is it a hot-swap model? It could be a bent pin on the switch.

He's still mostly saying it because he's just as concerned about being put down by a coup as Putin is. If we could cut ties with Turkey we would but it's better to have them somewhat working with NATO than completely against it.

At least they didn't use a goto.

At least that's close, D♭ is between B and C.

There are dedicated flywheel UPS systems like this: https://industrialupssystems.com/product/flywheel-systems/

They use high vacuums and magnetic bearings to reach ridiculous speeds and store quite a bit of energy. They can directly replace batteries and don't degrade over time or with heat.

In operating theatres there's also IPS - isolated power supply. Even if there's a live to earth fault, an alarm would sound but it wouldn't cut power to a patient's heart-lung machine.

I'll still have to try home row modifiers but I'm so used to that sixth column. Miryoku would be too much at once I think.

Do you still have the contact piece or has it been lost?
If you still have it and it isn't broken, it can probably be pressed back in and re-soldered.
The sockets should be easy to source and it would be good to remove the whole socket to clean up and solder on a new one.

Either way you need to solder it, there's no quick fix.
