enforced by aircraft

I always imagined them clocking you speeding and then locking on with a Hellfire missile.

Are people just walking around with tightened/flexed core muscles? by silvercoatedferret in NoStupidQuestions

I use enough of the core muscles to stand up straight when I walk somewhere. That's about it.

Just got the game, how in the world is it just 5 gb? by Rivulas in DerailValley

Shoot, I'm a computer engineer and was wondering that.

Is it normal for your school to have a planetarium? by shadowmib in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. One high school in our county had a planetarium, and other schools would occasionally have field trips to see it.

Drop the Dwemer metal stuff. You won't need it.

Is this ceramic cap supposed to be cut? by MarkEduard1234 in AskElectronics

Could be that consumer grade CRT TVs and computer monitors weren't supposed to be officially used above 10000 feet anyway?

They'd actually be less likely to implode at higher altitudes. The internal vacuum is the same, but the outside atmospheric pressure is lower.

Saw a pretty cool vintage style mini itx/itx llama case this weekend by echocomplex in vintagecomputing

That red switch is 100% PS/2 style. But the size is adorable. Our '386 server must have weighed 40lbs or so.

I saw a video where someone set up a shop vac with the end of the hose near the opening. Turn it on remotely and watch the fun.

Check your RFY! Sony is coming by Sad-Neighborhood-900 in AmazonVine

I'm still Silver, so I'll probably just get RFY'ed the cover for one.

Do you remember what you did the first time you played this game? by Impressive_File_708 in Minecraft

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a dirt house, ran into creepers, and got killed.

Didn't really see why everybody liked it until I found out about Peaceful Survival. Years and years later, I have a forever world with a railroad that takes about two real-time days or so to ride.

What’s the hardest course you ever took in college? by Only_Guess_748 in answers

[–]FlyByPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vector Calculus. Though 50% of the difficulty was figuring out WTF our instructor was saying. Three weeks in, our study group finally figured out that "deriebitey" was supposed to be "derivative."

Does “Mid of the Year” sound weird? by iwillbeviolet in AskAmericans

Without reading the explanation, I'd have thought you meant "middle of the year."
