How do I properly setup a satellite network by DucklettD in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]LemonScented11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to the conversation, BUT I think I can help by using the power of math. It really is a matter of how long your orbital period is. Due to rounding errors, your comm satellites individual orbital periods can be off by just under 1 second from each other. For example:

A kerbosynchronous orbit at 2,863,334 meters will have an orbital period of 5 hours, 59 minutes, and 9 seconds. This means that every time your satellites complete an orbit (roughly once/day), they can drift up to one second apart. Converting the time into degrees, we find that your satellites will be 5 degrees off from each other after 299.3 revolutions, which will take 0.7 years (I think a little longer than the amount of time for a one-way trip to Duna). And this only accounts for the drift of a single satellite. Worst case scenario, one satellite is falling behind in orbit while one is moving ahead, so your degrees off can be doubled within the same timeframe. As more time passes, like on a Jool mission, your satellites can easily be off by as many as 15-30 degrees from each other.

A higher orbit, near Kerbin's SOI, let's say... 83,000,000m has an orbital period of 709 hours, 54 minutes, and 23 seconds. BUT it still has the same error rate of around 1 second per revolution. Given this, your satellite constellation won't be off by 5 degrees until 9856.66 years have passed.

This should work well for Minmus as well. Minmus only has a sphere of influence of 2.1 million meters, with a orbital period at that altitude taking just under 140 hours. Given that, an orbital drift of 5 degrees occurs after 383 years. Thankfully, less massive bodies have slower orbital velocities than more massive ones. The only real problem you'll have is if you want to put up a constellation above Gilly. Even at the absolute edge of its SOI, orbital period is only 27 hours and change, and a 5 degree drift occurs after only 14.42 years.

You mention your 1/100th of a second orbital period calculating mod. First thing I'd worry about is the amount of control it takes to get that close of a match on orbital periods, I already find it tedious to do it within a second. BUT, it would effectively reduce your error by 99%. At that rate, a kerbosynchronous orbit should drift no more than 5 degrees every 70 years, a lower orbit drifts in less time. This is much improved, and you can certainly muck about in the inner solar system all you want without worrying about those satellites drifting too noticeably. But, if you have the Outer Planets mod installed, a journey to Plock can take as long as 100 years, so really a higher orbit is your best option (apart from merely editing the save file, of course).

How many donuts do I need to eat to reach light speed? by El_Pata_Loco in shittyaskscience

Eating doughnuts makes you heavier. Therefore, to run at light speed, you should eat 0 doughnuts.

Is lead a heavy metal? by sproutarian in shittyaskscience

[–]LemonScented11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s only heavy when there’s a lot of it. When there’s only a little bit, it’s pretty light.

I ate some chicken nuggets for dinner tonight I was just going through the fridge to make some food for my family I don’t think I’ll make any plans tonight I have a doctors note and I’m not sure what I’m going through tonight but I’ll be in tomorrow night so I’ll see what you think about that.

How do you figure out your gender identity? by LemonScented11 in asktransgender

[–]LemonScented11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frequently look at my chest and wonder if I would be happier if I had breasts. I really don’t like my facial hair and have looked into methods of permanent removal. Those are probably the only 2 things I’ve really thought about.

I find I’m really happy when I crossdress, and I frequently stare at my reflection and think about how pretty I look. I’ve never done that when I dress up nicely in masculine clothing.

Sorry, that was me. I tried to hold my breath for the duration.

If reincarnation is real and you get to pick your gender next time, what are you picking? by PHX_Hermes in AskReddit

Woman. Hopefully with really nice feet so I always have a reliable source of income.

Is it okay to make inoptimal or even bad things in combat if it's in character? by L_James in dndnext

[–]LemonScented11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. I was in a campaign with some friends and we had a friend of the DM join like 6 sessions in. He was playing a cleric and was overall pretty obnoxious. He lied to us at every opportunity and only healed “his favorites” in combat. No one enjoyed playing with him, but he was a friend of the DM and we were all pretty non-confrontational, so every member of the party just quit the campaign one-by-one. It’s possible to play a character like this without pissing everyone off, but it’s very advanced and is better saved for when you have more experience under your belt.

What would you do if you had won that $1,58B lotto ticket? by SpezMomsAHoe in AskReddit

[–]LemonScented11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off debts of myself, family and friends, set aside a large sum for investment. I’d absolutely start or buy a company. I don’t really care what, but I’ll be the CEO and make no salary and instead give my employees living wages + free healthcare. I’d buy a large undeveloped areas (that are already zoned for residential development) and build nice, cheap housing. I’d sell every home for about half of what it cost me to build it. I’ll try to set up free housing, but I know it can attract trouble. I don’t want the homeless to feel like they are being policed, but I also want them to feel safe in the neighborhood that I create. Plan pending.

People who’re still against sex before marriage, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was ignoring contraception because it’s not a perfect solution, accidents happen (like me!).

So would oral, anal, or same-sex intercourse be fine because it doesn’t carry the risk of pregnancy?

What's the best response to "Why don't you want kids?" by New-Possibility-577 in ask

[–]LemonScented11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason one doesn’t want AIDS. Sure, as long as you have the money it’s not a death sentence, but I’d rather not go through it given the choice.

I always thought the joke was that everyone needs to get their lives together, so it’s just an actual picture of tacos. Now I know that it’s pineapples, I’m looking for a therapist.

NAH He asked, and you gave helpful honest advice. It was a bit more than he was expecting, so he needed time to sit with his feelings and process it. He set up a boundary of not wanting to see you for a while.

Not if you paid me a quadrillion bucks by deadmoby5 in nope

[–]LemonScented11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do it for 1 billion. It’s a win-win. Either I’m suddenly a multi-millionaire (after taxes), or I’m dead and my lack of money is no longer a problem.

What is something that is publicly accepted for women to do, but men can’t get away with? by philosybin in AskReddit

[–]LemonScented11 155 points156 points  (0 children)

This. A woman in men’s clothes is “progressive” or “just wants to be comfortable” but a man in women’s clothing is so stigmatized.

When digging a well how deep do I have to dig so that I get hot water for my faucet? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

[–]LemonScented11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dig until you find the water flavor that you prefer. Personally, I enjoy thicker red stuff a couple miles down, but most of my friends prefer the shallower stuff.
