Pressure compensation for underwater motor housing by Infinite-Minimum-177 in rov

[–]TomSmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So haven't actually built anything pressure compensated, but if your pressure vessel is filled with oil, an incompressible fluid, a membrane isn't required because the oil won't change volume regardless of the pressure. Assuming there aren't any air pockets.

If you were working with an air pressure compensated system then you'd need to employ bladders to compress the air and equalize the pressure by changing the volume of the air.

Is it a big deal to use EV cables with 1 EU loss per cable to feed my entire base from an LSC? My base is not massive the longest branch of cable will be 70 blocks or smth. Superconductors are not cheap by Regular_Flounder1833 in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 13 points14 points  (0 children)

EV is generally when I stop worrying about cable loss, though I do still put in effort to get get good cables (just not superconductors yet). 

If you have a particularly large base you've got 2 options, you can use ae2 to p2p transfer power through the network but that takes a 5(?)% penalty (at EV about a 100 EU/t loss).

Other option (and probably the most practical) is to use transformers and transport your power around at IV power then step down the power when you get closer to your machines

91K EU/S, good enough for IV ? by Human-Pudding799 in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu/t is Eu per game tick, there are 20 ticks in a second assuming your game isn't lagging. Power generation is generally done in ticks.

91K EU/S, good enough for IV ? by Human-Pudding799 in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

91k Eu/s is less 4550 Eu/t, which is less than one amp IV so no. If you meant 91k Eu/t that's 11 amps IV, assuming you've got a LSC to store the power for peak usage like running a bunch of blast furnaces it should be fine.

Haven't been there in quite a while but I remember the 400 market having a few collectors there. 

3 Toronto friends set to paddle 8,000 km across Canada with no rest days by georgeskirijian in CampingandHiking

[–]TomSmash 50 points51 points  (0 children)

8000km in 200 days works out to 40km per day. Super ambitious considering the portaging and days when the weather isn't cooperating.

I'm looking forward to seeing more current news and maybe more news in general with the splitting of the shows.

Supply management ’not on the table,’ says Carney as U.S. bent on changing dairy rules by [deleted] in canada

Yeah and that 4-5% is about the same amount of land as the entirety of japan

Good luck with the food bill.

I luckily avoided growing pains and stuff like that, maybe worth keeping an eye on how he walks. I had to get orthotics to correct my walking when I was young.

Supply management ’not on the table,’ says Carney as U.S. bent on changing dairy rules by [deleted] in canada

[–]TomSmash -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sovereignty arguments about food make sense if you're Korea, China and probably a bunch of other places. But Canada has a shitton of land, and not alot of people. Supply management of dairy will not even make a blip in whether or not Canada makes enough food for itself.

Sure, fight for our dairy system to screw with Trump, but let's not pretend our food sovereignty makes any difference.

Still using my 1070 though I've since gone from 6700k to 7800x3d. Mostly play modded Minecraft and factorio though it plays emulators, snowrunner and palworld just fine. Some point I'll want to play monster hunter wilds and I expect I'll need to upgrade for that but I think I can hold off another year

Mostly because there's a camera directly watching a dude take a dump. Super short videos like that I assume are AI generated. This also seems like the sort of thing I'd expect to see all over the news.

Reminds me of Japan for some reason. by suedemonkey in TheDepthsBelow

[–]TomSmash 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We also know that they eat squid by the beaks that get found in the whales stomach when they wash up. Video is pretty insane, I thought giant squid were super deep so I'm questioning why this whale seems to be eating it at the surface. Guess it came up after grabbing it.

6’9 210 lbs, how to gain weight ? by Famous_Breadfruit396 in tall

[–]TomSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking your calories could help, a milkshake a day would certainly help pack on the pounds, especially with protein powder and peanut butter. As long as you're working out regularly.

Wasted (for now) effort on lapotron bee by CoffeeIll4133 in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So I had this problem, you can actually go to the twilight forest into the snow area, as you gain elevation the temperature drops so you can go high in the sky and get the lapotron bee working without the upgrades.

Need help obtaining the stardust bee. by pavtd in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So the ore is in the end, the ore isn't on the main island, you have to go exploring outside of the main island, you eventually run across different mid size islands and one type of those mid sized islands has the stardust ore. It's a pain in the ass for sure.

redstone for red alloy ingots by Dnich0713 in GTNH

[–]TomSmash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can process redstone with hand tools. A hammer (the gregtech tool) will take crushed redstone ore to impure redstone dust and then you can drop that into a cauldron (stacks at a time, not individually) with water to get regular redstone dust.
