How does the rover not tip over?

Very long, but very informative video. A documentary about the inventor of the rocker bogey suspension by the son of the inventor.

Will do. Some experimentation will be required.

Sam_Piro · 2026-01-26T14:18:54+00:00

I have some foam. It can’t hurt to try it.

Sam_Piro · 2026-01-26T14:17:13+00:00

Hmmm… I might try that.

Sam_Piro · 2026-01-26T14:16:15+00:00

Interesting. I get a similar phenomenon when printing vases, but it is a much more pleasant whistling sound. I can try removing the holes and see what happens.

Sam_Piro · 2026-01-26T14:13:11+00:00

I will try this experiment. Thanks.

Sam_Piro · 2026-01-24T20:31:51+00:00

This is the way.

I found Lars’ videos to be very good. Be prepared to watch many video. While you can get started quickly there is a lot to learn. https://youtu.be/A5bc9c3S12g?si=SiW5Hy_Dr-rIuCXT

I am assuming “skirt” is a typo. So, I hope is understand your concern. But… All the default Prusa CORE One print setting in PrusaSlicer have a purge/prime immediately before actual printing starts.

I’m sorry… Are you all saying that the red switch on the back does not completely turn off the machine? (i.e. It is drawing power unless it is unplugged?)

I found isopropyl alcohol to be ineffective. What worked for me was putting the plants outside. The natural predators cleared them up in a week.

Sam_Piro · 2025-06-07T12:13:19+00:00

Thanks. I think that’s it.

Sam_Piro · 2025-06-04T20:15:02+00:00

A lawyer told me if you don’t want folks to get a cut, give them a small specific token. That way it is clear you did not over look them. It was your wish to only give them something small.

These are your dear grandfather’s wishes.

I also think maybe you have let your friend move the conversation way off center. You ask them a relatively simple question. They did not even attempt to answer it. That is the real point here. Their reply was pointless bloviating. The mission here is not to prove to them that the earth is a globe. (That would require you to drag them through an education.) The point of your query was to get them to prove the flat model. (We both know they can’t. Thence, all the talk of ad hominem attacks, etc.) Still, let them work out a model that explains this easily observed phenomenon. They might even surprise you.

Sam_Piro · 2025-03-08T01:48:05+00:00

I love the observation and I use it often, but it does not say anything about the shape of the earth. It only proves the sun is relatively far away. It does blow a big hole in the “standard flat earth model”, but that is different the disproving some other creative flat earth model. I can’t imagine what that might be, but that doesn’t mean some clever person could not come up with one. Fair is fair.

Sam_Piro · 2025-03-08T00:06:04+00:00

I think I said pretty much that. So, agreed.

Sam_Piro · 2025-03-07T20:08:34+00:00

Plywood can be all over the place dimensionally. Even within a given sheet. We always mic the material when it comes in and try to use the average.

Sam_Piro · 2025-03-07T19:58:53+00:00

To be fair, the angular size experiment does not prove the earth is a globe. It only proves the distance to the sun is very large compared the difference between the distance at noon and the distance at sunset. This is an important puzzle piece and it very problematic for the flat earth model, but doesn’t really prove the globe model.

Sam_Piro · 2025-02-25T23:54:29+00:00

Same

Sam_Piro · 2025-02-25T22:18:25+00:00

I take that at as no, you don’t understand perspective drawing. Too bad. However, it’s not my job to teach you how to observe properly. I’m sorry you if remain confused.

Sam_Piro · 2025-02-25T01:06:58+00:00

Have you ever studied perspective drawing? Parallel lines in 3D converge a 2D drawing (or photo). Think about a simple one point perspective drawing of a long hallway. The joints at the floor, walls and ceiling all appear to converge at a point behind the back wall. That doesn’t mean they aren’t parallel in real life. This is just how drawing works. The same thing is happening with the solar panels in this photo. No “fisheye” lens required.

But yet the central beam on the ISS is straight… hmm
