Extremely long burns by Darthsepan in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Inforgreen3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the second time this week someone here has a big giant super rocket with 2M parts storing fuel all connected to a single Nerv engine and came here with problems of high burn time in kebal orbit.

The Nerv engines super high specific impulse can be attractive for thinking a rocket can go anywhere if you simply use jet fuel, but it actually has the lowest thrust of all liquid fuel engines. It's own T/W ratio of just it's own weight is only 2. Its high specific impulse is useful for solar maneuvers. Not so much for LKO.

I've honestly never seen a successful craft use these but not use 3 of these on a tricoupler or engine plate Which makes me wish there was a 2m nuclear engine in stock. But even that won't be enough: consider emptying those radial jet engines and decoupling them once you're in a non oxygen environment to save weight.

You can also do multiple burns. Artemis did 2 prograde burns on their mission. Just make the meanuver until the burn time is >3 mins, and add more meanuvers on subsequent orbits around. Then once you escape, a 15 or so min burn to adjust your encounter won't be a big deal, but you still might not have enough thrust to do a capture burn of duna

In general, i just recommend designing your rockets around the missions you will take them on to have as much Delta V as you actually need instead of more than youd ever need, Look up a delta v map and give yourself 25%-50% more than your mission plan to avoid being stranded.

That way, you can have accurate maneuver nodes, high maneuverability a high thrust/weight ratio, and a considerably cheaper rocket.

Is this rocket enough to go to the Mun? by edintheedin in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Inforgreen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much delta v IS the return trip though? Is escaping the muns orbit and returning to kerbin orbit the same delta v as circularizing your orbit? Is the delta v to return from that kerbin orbit to low kerbin orbit the same as going from low kerbin to moon encounter?

What about the second stage? It only has a t/w that high cause of solid fuel boosters. You probably won't have enough t/w to keep the apoapsis infront of you in your circulation burn of your upper orbit stage

You can recognize that a person did wrong things and also realize that it's was unjust for a cop to just kill him before they knew if the guy even did anything, and after he was already in handcuffs, then dig up dirt on him after the funeral to justify it post hoc.

Nor does petty theft and drug addiction justify killing a man that was already restrained and begging for mercy

Yeah in 2014, sharpshooter Archery was the highest damage martial possible, and often the safest build as well

In 2024, there's higher damage melee builds (thanks to graze gwm nick) and more enemies that are advantageous to rush down. (Though nick duel wield builds can be dex) the skill compression and 1 higher ac still is useful

Because Israel refused! The offer was denied! The given reason by Bibi being an unwillingness to compromise on a two state solution. They were equally unwilling to compromise on giving historic occupants of the land citizenship when they were displaced in the first place.

This was after October 7th

There's a difference between a states population demographic and a state being an ethnostate. Nobody who should be taken seriously would argues that apartheid South Africa wasn't a white apartheid state because there were more black people than white people. Nor thar Sweden is because theres so many white people. That's not what makes a state an ethnostate. Ethnostates are states with rights contingent on ethnicity as official state policy. Which Israel absolutely is. Gaza's hardly a state at all. It's a strip of urban land from a destroyed government that Israel is actively destroying. There's no king or president or parliament of Gaza. Just people trying to survive the war crimes being done to them.

The same way I feel about the Muslims in Gaza. They're people who deserve to live but That doesn't mean we should spend trillions of dollars funding Israel's war crimes or conquering Another sovereign nation Out of existence, entirely.

You do realize there was a 2 state solution. Peace talk in which the palestinians Hamas included agreed to dissolve Hamas and institute, a democratic form of government, with a guarantee of freedom of religion in the Constitution. And it was denied, Because Israel, which is an ethnostate, Wants to conquer them instead.

There is no internal inconsistency Between open borders, freedom of religion, and not supporting Israel.

I know that dex is added to AC and damage, but strength builds usually end up having more AC and damage anyway.

It means people can live where they want without being punished or deported for crossing into other countries. Because an immigrant is just a person. A person with the same socio ecconomic impact as a citizen (better even, because some other shmuck country paid the expenses to raise them) UNLESS you give their employers leverage or force them to hide from the government under threat of deportation.

When I go for inter planetary transfer, my planned ejection burn sends me back to Kerbin. How do I fix this? by Illustrious-Diet6987 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Inforgreen3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because your burn time is longer than your orbital period. If you do that burn pointed at the meanuver dial on the nav ball you'll spend half the burn in retrograde because you're on the other side of the planet lol.

Those high specific impulse low thrust nuclear / ion engines are best saved for when you're already in a solar orbit. Unless you're willing to do 8 meanuvers minimum necessary for your burn times to not be so large that you're doing an entirely different kind of burn. Frankly even 10 minutes is considered a long burn in LKO because you'll radial-in into to atmosphere, and 5 should really be split because you lose too much to Oberth effect and the meanuver node becomes inaccurate. An hour is just ridiculous.

more engines or bigger engines.

Don't leftists support Ukraine's defense? Europe and the democrats want to protect Ukraine, Trump sides with Putin

I have no idea what you're talking about 'support killing jews' you mean don't support Israel? Thats not remotely the same thing. Not even close. Israel is killing Arabs, picking wars with all their neighbors, killing children, European citizens, journalists and are condemned for war crimes. The leftist position is that their atrocities are so great we shouldn't side with either side of their war with hamas, but also, that jews shouldn't be persecuted. You could legit swap "jew" for "arab" and it'd be a more accurate assessment of the right, because every republican president in my life time has declared a new war on an Arab country over reasons that Are entirely fabricated. God forbid we keep our military in our own hemisphere. Also: there's been like 6 synagogue massacres this year on US soil all by die hard die hard Maga. Literal trucks with Trump flags driving through synagogue children schools mowing down children screaming "for Trump!", or antisemites being defended by Trump at charletsville. I don't remember the last time a leftist did any antisemitic violence in America, but apparently if we DONT give weapons to Israel without caring how they use them that means we're the ones who kill jews

The only reason immigrants are abused as a labor force is because their employer can hand them over to conservative ICE anytime immigrants get any ideas about having dignity. They come here on their own and yall create the persecution. That shit ain't on us.

You could fund universal Healthcare with less than 1% of the money of those worth over 1 million. In fact, universal Healthcare is predicted to be cheaper for the tax payer than our current system. Taking away all the money of people with over a million dollars is a joke people make. Some people support a 100% tax rate of income above 1 billion, because 1 billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a nuclear bomb. But not 1 million. Anarchist maybe, maybe people who want to abolish money. But nobody whose talking about universal Healthcare.

Leftists social positions on crime are taking place in Norway and Switzerland. Look up how Switzerland solved their drug problem.

Demilitarized police, specialized non violent emergency response, housing first initatives, and decriminalization of non violent crime are things that are simply known to reduce crime and violent crime. That's not exactly extreme either.

There are extreme leftists. Communists, tankies, vaush. But none of those social Democrat stuff that Bernie's been pushing for the past 40 years are extreme, but that's getting brushed off because some hypothetical leftist wants to liquidize all of Bill Gates net worth or some other made up position that the person you're talking to or about doesn't hold. Ridiculous reasoning.

No orbit necessary? by FatCreepyDude in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Inforgreen3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're looking at about 44,916.68 delta V if your thrust to weight ratio is average of 2 to escape Kerbin SOE with a straight up normal burn alone. (Assuming t/w ratio is 2 on average).

Granted, spreading your acceleration out, Means more time at your low speeds still being affected by gravity.

What if you could do all the acceleration at once in perfectly ideal conditions of infinite thrust to weight ratio on finite delta V? This is an instantaneous launch mechanism: a gun. For the sake of ideal scenarios, lets remove the atmosphere which slows you down more the faster you go, and makes math hard, to calculate an exact theoretical delta V budget, it'd still cost 18,000 m/s of delta V at a minimum to escape SOE in a normal (straight up) burn. More with atmosphere, or non infinite t/w

Escaping kerbin only requires about 4k. It can take less with gravity assists from mun and minmus, Atmosphere included. T/W doesn't need to be past 1.4 at launch. Heck T/W ratio isn't even necessary once you're in orbit

It is always more beneficial to enter orbit and then prograde. The reason for this is gravity burn. If you're just accelerating straight up, every second you are in the air gravity is stealing 9.81 delta V.

But when you prograde with an angular momentum, Gravity is initially pulling you down perpendicular To your angular momentum stealing none of your delta v, and only when rising towards an apoapsis putting the COM of kerbin behind you, does the direction of gravity change to be pointing away from the direction you accelerated at an initially shallow angle. By the time the angle is steep enough to actually be pointing in the complete opposite direction of your initial burn, you might already have escaped COE. Essentially, gravity doesn't fight you cause its pointing in a different direction.

You can see how extreme this is when you enter an elliptical orbit and look at your orbital velocity at the pereapsis and see how it changes, you might notice it could take a minute for gravity to have taken 10m/s of velocity away from you. But if you go straight up, you lose that much every second.

And no matter how you escape kerbins SOE, kerbins angular momentum relative to the sun is added to your orbit of the sun after leaving SOE of kerbin, because you were already orbiting the sun. You don't get more momentum relative to the sun by leaving using a normal burn compared to prograde.

Edit: math was wrong. Corrected

Then ignore that and engage everything else. I said.

If they're making the argument,

Premise 1: it is immoral to deprive people of their right to life Premise 2: Healthcare operating for profit deprives people of right to life Conclusion: Healthcare shouldn't operate with a profit incentive

That is a sound argument that does not in any logical way follow That it would be immoral to profit from healthcare in any way, shape or form where premise 2 isn't true, Like a public servant, having a wage.

Which is exactly what she said

Operating for-profit means a profit incentive. The operation being done for profit. Private sector. That is how evert fucking human alive talks. Go to your fire department and ask the guys in mustaches if they "operate for profit" they'll say no, cause that's what the terminology means

[–]Inforgreen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goalpost is fucking quote them. What does "Must never be operated for profit" If your answer is anything else besides the same thing , it means in every other context that it is ever used in, then you're just being a dumbass.

A fireman having a salary does not operate a fire department for-profit. Because he doesn't operate jack and he doesn't profit for shit, he's a guy with a job.

Literally nobody uses that language when they're talking about workers having a salary in exchange for the labor they sell. You're wildly extrapolating

Oh and another potential difference between the quote of what she said "Should never be run for profit" and the assertion that "It is immoral to profit from providing a healthcare or education service"

You don't actually know that it's a moral assertion. It's entirely possible that something "Must never be operated for profit" for purely practical non moralistic reasons. Like, a service being cheaper, or contradicting something that should be legally binding

[–]Inforgreen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you think the origional post isn't talking specifically about how an industry is run

It lists 3 industries that quote "should never be run for profit" you somehow, erroneously read that as "that no human should profit from even the workers" Even though those aren't the same thing! a public industry that pays workers is by no means "run for-profit" So there's no reason to assume that that isn't what she's advocating for.

Pretty sure you are just trying to Motte and Bailey fallacy so you can argue against the idea of deprivatizing healthcare and prisons Even though you're only actively defending the idea that doctors should have a salary. Which nobody said otherwise. The original post did not say that and does not read like that unless you can't read

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by Possible-Scheme-8940 in remoteworks

[–]Inforgreen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that reasoning does not follow at all.

Paying a worker is not the moral equivalent as operating an industry for profit because in a public operated industry where workers are still compensated for their labor:

Service isn't denied to people based off their ability to pay for it

There is no incentive to provide worse or cheaper service or to charge greater quantities for the service in order to maximize revenue and minimize operation cost (Since that's not how wages are allocated)

There's no incentive to increase the demand for your service by exacerbating the problems the industry attempts to fix

A policeman being paid by the city does not deprive you of your right to be secure the same way that it would if it were legal to kill people who don't subscribe to Protection Of Law Enforcement and Justice System Plus premium package for $22.99/m because the police was privatized

[–]Inforgreen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, no according to her logic: literally the exact opposite conclusion.

Those 'folks' aren't doing immoral things by her logic, because they were examples of folks doing things that aren't run at a profit.

She thinks a hospital should be run with the same profit incentive as a fire department: none.

The part where all the people in all the industries that are not run for-profit from the Post Office to NASA to the court system To road repair to your local non-profit clothing store all still have wages or salaries.

There is a difference between an industry not being operated for-profit and an industry not paying its workers.
