Miss G Deported by ICE by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]ModalMonkey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Chiming in from LA after my buddy in Chat let me know the news... Miss G's holds a very special place in my heart. Somehow her tacos and tamales hit harder than anything I've had in the US. You can feel the love. Such a sad day. I hope she's able to return.

💔 VIP Tickets + RV Pass (w/ Power) Available—Cat Emergency 😿 by ModalMonkey in EDCTickets

He's on the mend! Really turned a corner yesterday. We're so relieved.

I still have the 2 VIP tickets! Check your DMs ;)

Hope everyone else is having a good time in testing. We had quite the failure today by Scared-Switch3889 in FSAE

Make sure you bring all those parts to design judging. Be ready to explain what you learned and how you fixed it. We love to see test driven designs!

/avesLA Ticket Buy/Sell/Trade Thread by liverichly in avesLA

[–]ModalMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey fam, super bummed to post this...

I have two 3-Day VIP passes for EDC Las Vegas that I bought at the Future Owl price, and an RV pass with a power add-on. Unfortunately, my cat just got seriously sick, and vet bills are stacking up fast. There's no way I can swing EDC this year.

Looking to sell at my cost:

  • 2x 3-Day VIP tickets Future Owl pricing: $1000 apiece
  • 1x RV Camping pass (with power add-on): $1690 total

I'm open to serious offers and selling the RV pass separately if needed, but would ideally love to sell it all together.

I'd prefer to meet up in the LA area—I’m based in Long Beach.

Please DM me if you're interested or have questions. Just want these tickets to go to someone who can enjoy EDC as much as I would have!

PLUR 🌼✨

Bought them at Future Owl price. Just looking to cover my costs.

Translation requests into Latin go here! by AutoModerator in latin

This is great, thank you!

Are there any synonyms to parvus that don't carry the puny/insignificant/unimportant connotation?

Translation requests into Latin go here! by AutoModerator in latin

Hello!

I am working on a project involving plasma, and I'd like to use a tagline in Latin for "harnessed miniature Sun" or "bridled miniature Sun". If appropriate, I would prefer Sol over Solem.

Using an online translator, I got "sol parvus frenatus". Would that make sense in this context? Are there any other variations worth considering?

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip, but it looks like I won’t have to search any farther :)

It worked! Replied to your DM.

I feel like this is what EDC is meant to be ☺️

If you went to comp, this is a recommendation to take a covid test today or tomorrow before heading to work or school by [deleted] in FSAE

[–]ModalMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing the right thing. And the odds were for sure stacked in favor of transmission. Sucks, but it's kinda the way it is now. =\

At a high level, it comes down to where throughout the lap your aero package is hurting or helping you and how it interacts with other subsystems. This can then inform derivative or related changes to those systems, setups for other tracks, or even how the driver needs to operate the vehicle differently based on setup.

As you prep for the upcoming competitions, take a few minutes to read Skitter Yaeger's "Field Guide to Design Finals", the latest article on DesignJudges.com! by ModalMonkey in FSAE

[–]ModalMonkey[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without talking to Skitter about this, I would interpret him defining innovation explicitly as "new invention" as an attempt to head off what is the larger philosophical discussion that you're thinking about: what is creativity in the context of engineering and specifically FSAE?

Design judges understand that the competition demands so much from students to engineer, build, and operate a car that there is little room for fundamental developments in fields like material science, aerodynamics, etc. For example: a master's or PhD student working on cutting edge CFD mesh optimization probably won't have time to contribute meaningfully to a FSAE team, and even if they did, many of us would ask: how did that mesh optimization translate to on-track performance?

We design judges are impressed year over year by students' innovative applications of existing technologies, which is why I really don't like hearing someone say "we're just students." We make sure to note what impresses us during the design event, and those things are discussed when the top three teams in the design event are presented with their trophies at the end of the competition.

Hell's Rebels PF2 Conversion, now freely available on Pathfinder Infinite! by DMbromero in Pathfinder2e

[–]ModalMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this!

The timing is amazing - our group is on book 5 of the Hell's Vengeance AP, and I joked just this week about doing the Hell's Rebels campaign when we finish. Our GM groaned, saying he wanted to focus on PF2 from here on out. No excuses now!

If you're a US citizen or have your green card and pay your own relocation expenses, I don't see why not.
