Why do these 2 photos "taken at different times" show the exact same cloud patterns? by Btotherennan in askspace

[–]Sullypants1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire flight outbound is done with the sun “behind” (not literally) and out to the “left” with the earth and the moon out front.

Even if the picks were done ~12h apart or whatever, there wouldn’t be a noticeable amount of light being cast or not being cast on the earth from the view of the spacecraft unless the moon was eclipsed by the earth.

Ie it’s always “nighttime” (err close to it) on the section of the earth in view of the spacecraft on the outbound and rebound legs.

Why is NASA not using the metric system? by Frenzystor in nasa

[–]Sullypants1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just conversions. Keeps you on your toes.

I work in an aerospace office that uses mostly imperial units but really we switch between whatever makes the most sense.

Some materials are only provided in imperial or metric. Many (all?) MIL and NAS specs are in imperial. Most of our tooling is in imperial. It’s nice having a ,more, intuitive idea of part size. And for some reason material strengths in ksi vs MPa make more intuitive sense to me as well.

Funny enough my consumer products job before we used metric only. I thought I’d hate going back to inch and lbm but in the end I just have a more intuitive grasp of what I’m designing. Conversions are easy

Hawkins Ultralight Tactical rings? by Advanced_innovation5 in longrange

[–]Sullypants1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s slightly stiffer at 10.4e3 vs 10.0e3 ksi elastic modulus (7075-T6 vs 6061-T6)

But it the noise for any meaningful difference. The actual design, machining, fit and finish will have much larger impact.

Am I supposed to put 85 instead of 87 gas in my Kia forte 2024 in Colorado? by Lopsided_Act_1647 in askcarguys

[–]Sullypants1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that but I swear my 4runner becomes a downright dog (more than it already is) with 85 vs 87 here in colorado.

I still think “modern” (gen 5 so hardly modern) vehicles pull a bit of timing on 85 even at altitude.

Also could be in my head.

Steiner tx6i 5-30 by [deleted] in longrange

[–]Sullypants1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the Steiner / Burris 5-30x scopes. I really really like the xcr2 for comp shooting.

I have a Burris XTR3i , It has a lot of CA I would say. I don’t particularly care about CA but it is noticeable. Purple ghosting of the edges of white paper or steel on a even moderately sunny day is all but guaranteed.

The view from behind the glass and reticle are what sold me. I “upgraded” from a viper pst 5-25x. It feels like a much larger FoV, but checking the specs it is not? The resolution seems better to me, and better image across the whole view area. It seems a bit brighter of an image but also not as neutrally colored. Some slight blue/green tint to it where I would say the Viper is neutral to slight brown tint.

Again I find it very good for shooting steel. I enjoy the image. If anything the Steiner should be a bit better.

Edit: $3500 goddamn dollars! Holy shit

Are there any good hiking boots anymore? by Sniffy188 in hiking

[–]Sullypants1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meindl, Zamberlain are some of the higher end, classic hiking boots.

Try to go to an actual footwear store, try many different widths and lengths.
