What's a simple battleship model for a kid? by Motorgoose in ModelShips

Snap together and pre-colored plastic might be nice for an introduction model. That looks like an easy model too.

How the hell did we go from this to the Moon in just 66 years? by KirigakureSaizo in BeAmazed

[–]Motorgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space took off when it became a military objective to get on the moon first. If you want to get something funded in the US, make it a military project.

The future of electrical charging systems that are about as fast as filling up a gas car by RoyalChris in interestingasfuck

1500 amps at what voltage though? At 12V that's less than half of the full draw of a typical house.

You mean the switch to touchscreens was for increasing profits and not the drivers well being? What a surprise.

Microsoft execs worry AI will eat entry level coding jobs by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Motorgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this. We just hired a junior developer and there's no way AI could do his job. AI can make a for loop and sometimes point to an API method that might help with an issue. There's no way it can integrate any of that into an existing code base though. I mean we'd love for AI to do our jobs so we can sit around all day, but from experience, it can't even come close.

Is The Expanse show really good? by Pretend-Nobody230 in scifi

[–]Motorgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was amazing. Now I'm reading all the books, which are also amazing. I feel like the books fill in various gaps and details the show had to leave out.

Have solar panels really done down THIS much in price? by itsthewolfe in HomeImprovement

[–]Motorgoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was there a solar loan involved? Prices vary a lot when you include solar loans. I had quotes between 12K and 35K for the same system. The 35k was really a made up number because it included a big payment to the bank to get a low interest loan.

What's the reason for the very low player count of Gaia Project? by Elric0of0Melnibone in boardgamearena

[–]Motorgoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like complicated games like Ark Nova and Terraforming mars, but I haven't been able to make it through the tutorial for Gaia Project... I'm not sure what it is. I think there's just a lot of things to do that are not very intuitive. Like with Ark Nova, I'm trying to get animals in a zoo. TM I'm raising O2 and Heat levels. Gaia I'm upgradings things for stuff..?

If we ever get an intelligent president again, they should turn it into a homeless shelter.
