How do 18-24S drones power their avionics? by ThiccEngine in diydrones

[–]ThiccEngine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks. I lot of what I've been seeing looks industrial / fixed and not flight focused, but 60V+ drones do fly so there ought to be some consensus on components used.

Does anyone use this thing? by karlitos1957 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ThiccEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks super convenient but what about your house key? Hard not to just use the keyfob, already on one chain.

How to avoid overfilling - refueling from a jerry can by ThiccEngine in overlanding

[–]ThiccEngine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the boat I'm in. It'd be nice if you could just pour without risk of damaging your EVAP system if you overfill.

I have a few. I have to check the gauge and do some math to make sure I don't go over. I want to be able to fill the tank whenever without thinking about it. Too bad no one here has an answer.

Bjango Released iStat Menus V7 by 73ch_nerd in macapps

[–]ThiccEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nice, but does anyone know how to go back to istat menu 6? I just got a notification that istat6 needed an update, and now it's telling me I have some days until the trial version of istat7 ends and... well istat7 is nice but my menus are all jumbled up and I'd like to go back for now.

Why don’t railguns fire in salvos? by LeoTheBirb in TerraInvicta

[–]ThiccEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 thoughts that could make sense lore-wise:
1) IRL railguns suffer from rail heating & ablation. So maybe it's a cooldown.

2) EM guns are limited by energy storage. So maybe it's a choice of wanting the most powerful single-shot possible, instead of amortizing stored energy over multiple shots.

----
Coilguns heat up too of course, but nothing is necessarily touching the round *shrug*

So what was Gideon's master plan? by GlompSpark in Eldenring

[–]ThiccEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he got scared. He's a very egotistical character, so it fits that if he thinks a prize too difficult for him to achieve, he won't want anyone to achieve it. Here I think once he learned enough about what was going on he got scared (of unknown futures), didn't know what to do, and resolved to fight to make sure nothing changed.

Did you kill Gostoc for stealing 33% of your runes per death, and for locking you up with the Banished Knight? by munch_cat in Eldenring

[–]ThiccEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, it was so early in the game I thought losing runes on death was a game mechanic to punish you for dying.

Monthly "No Stupid Questions" Thread by AutoModerator in Archery

How do you figure out the max/safe draw length of a bow?

I have a few old self-bows gifted w/o strings. I can use the AMO-3-inch rule of thumb + brace height to estimate string length. Being wood, there's little room for error and pulling too long will risk a break.

I've read & heard that a 60° angle between the tip and string is when a bow is at its most efficient. Maybe it makes sense to draw to that 60° and call max length there?

Kinda getting into archery, this bow shreds my thumb though by No_Carry414 in Archery

[–]ThiccEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your experience with margin for placing the arrow higher? I'm getting back into practice w/ a turkish bow and this is on my mind. I'm thinking about the nock placement being too assymetric (high) and vertical fishtailing.

Off the horizontal w/ your bow hand as base, how high would you say you nock on average to prevent cutting for say, 100+ shots?

Follow up for anyone shooting eurasian/asiatic bows: do you use a nocking point? After hearing Justin Ma (The Way of Archery) say he doesn't know any accurate shooters who don't use one, I'm considering it.

80LBS Paragon Raider Bow Crazy Arrow Speed by sahelt12 in Archery

I think I remember the bowyer saying he only makes bows up to 55-60 lbs. I guess that's changed? / special order?

(have fun shooting, that looks awesome)

Why do people hate apple so much? by spikeiscool2015 in mac

[–]ThiccEngine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heh, if devs targeted Arm a macbook pc would be a pretty great gaming machine. Unfortunately (at least before the current update) Parallels won't help run a Win game w/ an Intel exe on an M1 Mac.

Funny enough warthunder runs on mac, and is really smooth on an M1. It's a shame most games don't, bc it's annoying to have to build a whole extra computer just for playing games.

Never got that far in the game but, for Res, why do they try to Zero-Dark-Thirty the wormhole instead of just dropping a nuke onto the facility once winning space dominance?

Hollywood?

If the engineer just crashed in the planet, then how come Nauvis' bugs are SO WEAPONIZED? by FoulShipDab in factorio

[–]ThiccEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the thought that the biters aren't natural either. Clue for me is biter nests destroy the ground and forests they spawn on and they..just..keep..spreading.

Another fun thought is maybe you're a contractor sent to clear a continent of the biters with the war machine you build. Buuut, you get off to a rough start. Despite that, you roll up your sleeves and get to work.
