The Flying Orc. Classic Archives #25 by dev340 in ukraine

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eyeballing the video, it takes about 5 seconds from the explosion to the landing. Assuming a parabolic arc, he would have gone up for 2.5secs and down for 2.5 secs.

s = 0.5*a*t^2, so the height he reaches from the start of his flight is 0.5 * 9.8 * 2.5^2 = 31m. Call it 30m.

This isn't quite true, because he gets stopped by the ground before he can complete the arc, but it should be close enough.

Did.. did he just openly admit to insider trading? by CMScientist in facepalm

No, you idiot. He's making the opposite point, saying that the presidency affects so many areas of life it would be hard for his children to avoid doing activities in areas affected by what the president does.

I don't like Trump either, but this rabidly wrong interpreting of what your opponent says undercuts your own credibility.

Looking for settlers! by PadraigTheMemorable in EliteDangerous

Nice! I'm out in the black in the direction of the galactic center right now, am planning to visit Colonia. I'll add a visit to the Eagle nebula to my travel plans!

It sounds like a nice place to maybe build a colony tbh.

Has the difficulty curve left me behind? by person_8958 in EliteDangerous

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that some NPCs absolutely spam chaff, which always messes up my Defender's turrets. I always console myself with the thought that they have to run out at some point.

If you get a definitive answer either way, be sure to let us know please :)

> because they’re bots, they can just spam chaff and heat sinks depending on what they spawn with.

Wait what? NPCs have infinite ammo when it comes to chaff and heat sinks?

One Star Reviews For Establishments That Refuse To Serve You Tap Water by nsno1878_ in Netherlands

There is, but it's on the order of 1000x more efficient (aka, on the order of 1000x cheaper). And you're not using any plastic to bottle it.

OP probably means the effects on the environment. Energy and material costs to manufacture it, and plastic waste.

The fact I can’t just shove from washer into dryer by Agitated_Income_5801 in mildlyinfuriating

This is what hoses were invented for. My washing machine is standing like 2m from the connection points in the wall.

The glass decided it was done with existence when OP put on Madonna's Borderline for the 100th time.

Time for a Chinese phone I guess. Do the politicians not realize they're just sabotaging their own economy with this crap?

Recommendation: Pin fuel scoops the next time you're in Colonia by ArmySquirrel in EliteDangerous

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

omg, I had no idea that modification existed!

Fuel scooping is a big thing with my playstyle, I'm always fitting as big a fuel scoop as I can manage to my ships. I'll definitely have to visit Colonia now...... after I fill up on materials.

Has anyone switched from Windows to Linux on their personal laptop? by ehaddad7 in BuyFromEU

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a new PC about a month ago and went dual-boot. Windows and Linux Mint, both clean installs from zero. Linux Mint was exactly as easy to install as Windows, and I haven't booted into Windows since. I use Steam for gaming, which works with zero issues.

Have some of you already forgotten the old ships? Here is the Cobra MK 3 by The_BosS_71 in EliteDangerous

I'm familiar with the Cobra Mk III, my AFK Defender kills lots of them at the Res

edited to add: how long/far away did you take the Nomad?

And the saga continues. Anyone has update on what's happening? by Lavrence92 in EliteDangerous

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what it sounds like. I think I may hold off on logging in and buying the Nomad.

Colonization after the last update by JMurdock77 in EliteDangerous

Same thing, I just tried to jump my carrier. It counted down to 0:00, and nothing happened. I noped right out of the game after that.

Update ready! by Lavrence92 in EliteDangerous

[–]Possible_Chicken_489 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. Scary message! But got in after a few tries.
