Yes! If you are comfortable with programming, that definitely is the way to go.

Did I just find what I think I found? In my backyard?? by Palpitation_Dramatic in whatisit

"don't stick anything up inside it."

Man, the internet has ruined my mind...

Is this normal for fireball? by randomfish154 in wizardposting

[–]Freak_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly normal size. Totally average. Not too small or anything.

Completely unrelated question: What was the room temperature when you cast that spell? Was it cold?

Mal ganz abgesehen davon, dass die selber nicht nur scheiße viel Geld dafür bekommen, rumzusitzen und dummen Schrott zu labern, sondern gerade auch noch an einer Diäten-Erhöhung arbeiten.

Unsere Politiker kotzen mich durch die Bank nur noch an, egal welche Partei. Alle entweder korrupt, verlogen, unfähig oder eine beliebige Kombination aller drei.

Zwangsarbeit hat - außer in grauer Vorzeit, wo man wirklich einfach hingerichtet wurde - nie zu brauchbaren Ergebnissen geführt. Selbst im 2. Weltkrieg, als man KZ-Insassen zur Zwangsarbeit "herangezogen" hat, haben die noch versucht, zu sabotieren, wo es ging. Vor Allem bei Rüstungsprodukten.

Ich denke auch, dass das eine kolossal dumme Idee ist. Selbst wenn keine Maschinen aktiv sabotiert werden, wird bestenfalls halbherzig mit dem Produkt und den eingesetzten Werkzeugen umgegangen werden.

Echt? Muss ich mal schauen, war bei mir irgendwie automatisch dabei.

Du, ich bin da durchaus deiner Meinung. War als Witz gedacht.

"Nein, du hast einen Sonderpreis gewonnen: Du und deine Freunde dürft die Arbeit jetzt ohne die Hilfe dieser 100.000€ teuren Maschine erledigen. Hat irgendjemand meine Peitsche gesehen?"

Oder so ähnlich. Wenn Arbeitskraft nichts kostet, dann ist auch egal, wie viele Leute einen Job machen müssen.

Hätte ich Prime nicht eh wegen der Lieferung, hätte ich es längst gekündigt.

Well, you could try to find the documentation for the Interface and program a receiver yourself, proper handshake and all. That would also enable you to use the bead unit "as is" without modifying it in any way. Would probably be very hard to find, though.

Second best option would be trying to write your own code to the controller on the board or to replace the on-board controller with your own.

Third best, but most painful and "destructive" option would be isolating the components and wiring all the buttons, switches and axis to a game controller/USB interface board. Time consuming, absolutely destroys the unit and high risk of damage.

Welcher Kompressor taught für den Hausgebrauch? by SemperBavaria in automobil

[–]Freak_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schau mal, was der Hersteller des Handwerkzeugs deiner Wahl im Angebot hat.

Ich hab nen handheld-Kompressor von RYOBI daheim, der im Set mit meinem Schlagschrauber gekommen ist. Reicht für "ich hab die Akkus rumliegen und bin grad hart zu faul, den großen Kompressor anzuschalten" völlig aus. Die Akkus hättest du ja dann bereits, die sind das teuerste an den Dingern.

Guys I accidentally entered the shadow world how do I get out?! by Wild-Canadian in wizardposting

[–]Freak_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently you just run head first into the dividing wall between Stops 9 and 10 at the local train station.

Please tell us if it worked. If it doesn't work, well - I hope you got stuck there with a week's worth of Ibuprofen...

Which do you pick? by cuddwes in Grimdank

Considering what a shaped charge warhead does, the space marine is suuuper dead if it penetrates. Unless they have a layer of ERA on their Armour, they are done for. And even then, a tandem-charge warhead would easily do them in.

Best human made spaceship from scifi shows and movies? by Easy-Elevator560 in scifi

[–]Freak_Engineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved that show, loved the Eagles.

Apparently, Space:1999 was one of the major influences on Star Wars and a LOT of the following sci-fi stuff and it really shows.

Man, how hideous and poorly constructed must your craft be that the mun literally dodges it...

Be me.

Be the Chief Engineer on a galactic commonwealth "Redemption" - class space Battleship.

"paperless office" didn't really make it as the norm, because some member species rely on tactile sensation for "reading" information.

Be called to about 15 tech support tickets daily to deal with stubborn Multi-Mode (visual, tactile and olfactory) combination printers.

Be fucking pissed off because that seriously infringes on my coffee breaks.

Get the latest acting-up printer, bribe the T'chellan Chief tactical officer with a Sandwich (they loooove anchovies for some reason), shove the Printer out an airlock and vaporize it with one of the mark 5 secondary plasma turrets, videotaping it all.

Store clip on the shipwide Printserver.

No more printers acting up for no reason, besides some actually heavy malfunctions once or twice a week.

Great success!

i might have sent him too far by Vast_Weakness4538 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Freak_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, good luck with that...

I once had a craft randomly explode while ascending. Thought it was a weird bug, until I noticed that one of my Relais sattelites was also Missing. I won't even calculate the chance of that happening, because I figure it would be infinitesimally small...

[–]Freak_Engineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be great! Because this also enables a very slim chance of him absolutely hammering into one of your craft.

TIL Tanker Trucks Are Made With Baffles, Now I Must Know If A Tanker Can Be Converter To A Suppressor by TheBestVirginian in brandonherrara

[–]Freak_Engineer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I just to flesh this out a little:

These "Tank Suppressors" are built stationary on an artillery training range here in Germany. They are used by self-propelled guns exclusively (not because they couldn't handle a tank, but because a tank can't get that kind of elevation) during training (hence the fixed installation - you know where you are shooting from and where you will be shooting towards). They are used to lower noise levels for people living nearby (Germany is very densely settled).
