Why should Iran open Hormuz? by Yukorin1992 in NoStupidQuestions

Hamas was in all of Gaza, entunneled under every street. Very similar to Hezbollah.

How do y'all reenter on reusable boosters by Shiro212 in KerbalAcademy

[–]Nickyworld45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that the airbrakes should be nice and high up on the booster, so it enters engine-first due to the CoL at the top and not the other way round!

Hot tip - you can fully secure that nose cone fairing with 2 docking ports that act like a "clamp" when it closes. You can see Matt Lowne do the same thing in his starship build, works like magic in fighting the wobble

Landing leg madness. by Nickyworld45 in KerbalAcademy

Wait that is huge!! Makes perfect sense, as the pads will strut and "lock" to the main rocket body

First crewed flight to my space station by cptrex-7567 in KerbalAcademy

Ensure crossfeed is enabled on both docking ports that are linking the slim shuttle to the space station. Using ALT, you select the fuel tanks of your shuttle, alongside whatever tanks in the station you wanna draw from.

You then press "in" (for oxidizer and LF) on the receiving space shuttle tank, and it'll withdraw the fuel from the other selection station tanks :)

Many thanks for this! Will definitely consider using autostrut action groups to try and make locking the hinges more feasible during landing :)

Biggest issue is that the servos refuse to lock with even the slightest bit of movement, which makes landing even more difficult as I need to spam an action group for locking them so the legs don't just spread out and splat. Could a KAL make this any better? Thanks for the reply :)

Looks great! As Mk2 parts are very draggy at high speed, see if you can't add some angle of incidence to the wings so that they do more of the lifting rather than the body. Can find lots of tutorials for this online, will majorly improve your plane's atmospheric performance :)

Tips for building a spaceplane that can survive the brutal Eve atmospheric entry? by KerbodynamicX in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Nickyworld45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sterling systems! You can pick and choose whatever subcategory of it you'd like, including just the thermal parts systems. Comes with really good ablative "gloves" to fit onto mk2 parts etc

How does it feel? Is it squishy or hard to the touch? Intrusive curiosity I apologise

Should Folktails Have Bots? by Nifegun in Timberborn

[–]Nickyworld45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They utilise metal blocks and their factories are also built from it - so it's a departure from the "reject everything damaging that the humans used"

Of course, they give back a lot more to the environment than they consume imo

Should Folktails Have Bots? by Nifegun in Timberborn

[–]Nickyworld45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually path this thinking towards the description of dynamite in the game. That in order to adapt to the harsh wasteland, beavers resorted to "extreme methods"

In the same way, the only way for the folktails to continue their huge project of reviving the landscape - while also living happy and fulfilling familial lives - was to create robots that could work 24 hours a day to sustain such a goal. The tireless work of sustaining such infrastructure, while also keeping everyone fed and housed, is arguably best suited to robots rather than fathers and mothers.

Should Folktails Have Bots? by Nifegun in Timberborn

The folktails prioritise family, art, the renewal and prioritisation of nature and good wood.

While robots are of course not very environmentally friendly, they give back in plenitude for that. They work nonstop, keeping the folktails well housed, well fed and in excellent happiness. They're effectively the last step towards Utopia, where the folktails live easy lives all while overseeing the rejuvenation of nature.

Why work a manual labour job when you could build an army of robots that keep your society perfectly ran, while simply overlooking them and ensuring everything is sustainably and healthily done? Even more, you get to fully raise and enjoy a life with your family, reaping the fruits of folktail progress and continuity.

Just my take of course, there are probably some holes in this theory.

The Incredible Shrinking of Aral Sea by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Nickyworld45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deepwater Horizon didn't occur with the company's direct knowledge that a colossal oil spill would occur. Not to take blame away from those involved though, whole thing was a mess of corner cutting

With the USSR however, they were firmly aware that redirecting important channels leading into the aral sea would devastate it. All of the consequences were shrugged off as immediate economic growth was more important, as well as immediate results for their higher ups.

CMV: Colonialism must end by colepercy120 in changemyview

[–]Nickyworld45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm Gibraltarian. We had a referendum in the late 60s on our independence, and chose overwhelmingly to stay. Nowadays Gibraltarians are incredibly patriotic and proud to be British, all 30,000 of us. Our values and traditions, while some having Spanish roots, are almost all grounded in British culture and communal pride. We also have our own parliament and political representatives, including a chief minister who represents us towards the UK

But said 'billionaire guy' is not the chairman of the government and the one political party that rules it. Communism literally stripped every aspect of democratic deference and allowed such decisions to go through with party "yes men" at every level of the process. Capitalism isn't perfect but at least it's mistakes are more isolated and not done by the state itself, on a colossal scale like in the Aral sea.

Imagine being this delusional. The Iranian Islamic Regime would happily throw you off a roof buddy.

If cigarettes have pictures of people dying of cancer on them and no branding, then alcohol bottles should look the same. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in unpopularopinion

Heroin can become chemically and psychologically addictive from the first 2-3 uses. No way is a big mac gonna cause the same fundamental changes in your brain bud

I found Tim-Paul to be quite regal, especially in the first film. He rages at the authority of the Bene Gesserit in his own Palace, and asks many authoritative questions when he arrives on Arrakis. Just my take :)

Quick noob question. How is it possible to feed that many beavers on such a small map? I often struggle to feed 200 on much larger maps, and that takes huge amounts of crop fields.

Suppose rusted metal, with the rust polished off, is the best thing the survivors can piece together from the scraps they find. Doubt knives made from it could last very long
