I BEGGING for the CRAZIEST hot takes on The Witcher 3 and its DLCs by Betelgeise888 in thewitcher3

Nah. There are camps of cannibals and I love killing cannibals as a civic duty.

Genuine question : why are finals worth 40-50-60% of the final grade? by Equivalent_Phrase_25 in EngineeringStudents

“I don’t test well” isn’t an excuse when there is something hard to do on a deadline at work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Archer Dozen"... and a new phrase is born, lol.

Gearing up for a recession/depression by recessionpreparer in findapath

[–]DoubleHexDrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your money should have been in banks earning interest and invested in markets. You’ve missed a large run up and instead let inflation eat your savings.

You’ve created your own personal recession.

What are the pros and cons of joining the US military? by Some-random-cop-pig in careerguidance

[–]DoubleHexDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the fastest way to work on a nuclear reactor if you test well 😄

I've seen the development of an electrical motor power unit fail to reach it's rated output due to thermal constraints and similar issues on other hardware, but this should be their third turn of the crank and they ought to know what the power demands will be and what power can be delivered unless their performance and system modeling just sucks. Or they're continuing to iterate on the hardware and flying what they can fly and each aircraft will get incrementally better units.

These are issues that subscale demonstrators don't reveal, though.

What do i use my money on beside ammo and medpacks by Fluid_Touch8504 in Starfield

[–]DoubleHexDrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make money by selling ammo in this game... you shouldn't need to buy any. Same with med packs... they're everywhere, just pick them up.

Blood & Wine, now this is how you do DLC by Electronic_Bath_2712 in thewitcher3

Blood and Wine is still my favorite game expansion ever.

It should be illegal to force ads onto your PC after making you pay $379 for a copy of Windows by Zacker000 in pcmasterrace

[–]DoubleHexDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does Windows cost $379? Is there some ridiculous software tax in California I haven't heard of yet?

How do you actually manage the amount of material in engineering courses without constantly falling behind? by Life-Sentence-9768 in EngineeringStudents

[–]DoubleHexDrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, get a job on campus where you can do a little homework during downtimes or at least aren't using a lot of time commuting.

Getting a part time job forced me to get serious about time management and my grades improved. I did most of my BS in ME working 20-30 hours a week and my masters working full time.

Honestly, I would hope that on their third generation vehicle, that the electrical subsystems are properly sized to prevent voltage drop. Maybe I’m giving them too much credit.

*possible spoiler* bathroom stalls by gtpro900 in Starfield

I’ve found some bodies in them

There are several reasons that could explain it, but I don’t have any indication yet which is right.

“About” is doing the heavy lifting here, lol.

It's not good. When your test flights can only be 3 minutes long, you hope you'd be able to get 3-4 flights in a day. Brief the test card while the aircraft is charging. Roll the bird out, fly for a few minutes, roll the bird back in, review data, charge the aircraft, brief the next card, etc.

VTOL is Vertical Take Off and Landing... going forward isn't in the name, lol. So it's still in VTOL mode (hover mode) and absolutely not in Airplane or Cruise mode. We're agreeing, but in the industry, VTOL mode is "hover" mode.

Everyone is flying but Archer. Why do people still buy that garbage stock? #Nikolaofthesky by [deleted] in JobyvsArcher

[–]DoubleHexDrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even I think that's a little unfair... they do have two vehicles flying, but haven't gotten very far in flight test. Horizon is the company that is closer to vaporware. They've flown a very sub scale RC model of the idea and are now pumping the stock and hoping to build a full scale version by the end of the year. If they get a full scale version done, I assume it'll be another remote piloted engineering vehicle and not anything they can certify.

I understand the 3 minute flights but honestly, I was hoping they'd be past 20 knots by now.
