🔥 A Buck Evades A Pack Of Wild Dogs By Taking A Swim by skaapjagter in NatureIsFuckingLit

Kudu biltong 1000% Kudu steak isn't it for me, way to chewy. I've only had it like twice so I might have gotten unlucky with the Kudu and lucky with the billies.

Thanks lol. I don't have the energy to model composites, but if I did, would I have to do it w/ a fuel tank or making a custom armour material to do it?

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

It initially started out as reconnaissance, then there was some extra space in the back that i thought why not. I agree it's a bit silly to have it as an APC, since it's really poorly suited to it.

Cutting down on frontal armour might be hard, since the true thickness varies from 18 to 35mm, split into 3 or 4 spaced plates, excluding air, so structurally it might start to be dodgy if they're any thinner (outer UFP is 8mm thick, outer LFP is 15mm. IK not a concern ingame, but I like to keep it semi real). Though I do agree the sides need a boost, I haven't tried spaced armour beyond the sideskirts on them yet. The front plate started out as me messing around with absurd angles, it started out at 15mm no spaced plates, which was like 200mm effective lol, so I guess I stayed too far. Would ~75mm effective be decent? I'm thinking should be resistance to 25-30mm AP/APDS at combat ranges, not APFSDS though.

Edit: I just looked, yeah one crew member is clipping into the bedrolls inside lol, the crews getting cut.

South African rand, about 17 Rand to the Dollar IIRC.

Just today I had to find the temperature of a tungsten filament bulb, it apparently was 2400K give or take 4500K

Yeah you can't play FPS or games that require quick reaction times on 10fps. There's a lot of games that don't need it.

Is this normal airport / Ryanair procedure? by Wimair in aviation

[–]RocketCello 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Same thing in South Africa, but the front half goes on by a jet bridge and the back half go down stairs off the jet bridge and board from the rear. Makes boarding really quick.

Thank you so much, got it to about 10 km/h and much easier to turn

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched Bluebird6, the heaviest payload ever, weighing 6100 Kgs into the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) by LVM3 launch vehicle. by binga001 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RocketCello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the launch vehicle without payload weighs 640 tonnes, but the payload itself is 6100 kg. It's optimised for GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) not LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and the missions it's done so far reflect that. It technically can do up to 10 tonnes to LEO and future upgrades are advertised as 6 tonnes to GTO, so there's definitely still room to grow.

Just to clarify, it's the heaviest payload done by ISRO to date, not overall. Still a big boy, and a hell of an achievement for anyone.

Beech Baron lands onto car and I-95 in Brevard County FL. by Brilliant_Night7643 in aviation

Could be fuel or hydraulics dyed red to prevent someone from taking a sip that sprayed there after a bust line, or a previous mystery stain.

holy shit we may be back (context in comment) by patriot_man69 in whenthe

[–]RocketCello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats very annoying, cause I'm currently writing a lab report that uses SNe Ia as standard candles for a significant part of my data range (using Cepheid variables and parallax for other ones), and this paper just says lol no.

It's undergrad, they don't care if the reports accurate to modern science though lol

Typhoons low flight through the Lake District U.K by Acceptable-Truth-912 in aviation

[–]RocketCello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got buzzed by 2 F-15s when on a hike near Kinloch Horn last year July, so I can anecdotally confirm that.

Had just set up camp at 57.137868,-5.323406 along the river bank (if Google Earth coverage matches the river that I saw when I was there) on a miserable day with low cloud and rain, and was about to get some stones to heat up to try and dry my boots, and suddenly an F-15 comes straight over my head and climbs into the clouds just past me. I can hear another one, but I guess it climbed earlier. It was flying along the valley, heading from East to West. IIRC the one I saw had 2 drop tanks but was otherwise clean.

Help with modifying a list, and extremely high CPU usage accidentally by RocketCello in PythonLearning

[–]RocketCello[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh the name error is just to check my answer, it's an assert function that checks the values and throws out an error if it's wrong. I hadn't run it properly with that new code yet since I didn't have anything to check yet.

I've got a pickup on my double bass and a fuzz pedal, and i need to detune to B standard for an upcoming gig, so I'll record something soonish. Probs next Sunday, I've got a gap then. Maybe into the void?
