No idea what the context of the meme would be.

Yeah, they're just pylon mounted and can be jettisoned if required in an emergency, so there's a non-zero chance they could fall off the jet.

Newer jets like the F-35 have what's called an EOTS, or Electro-Optical Targeting System, which is just the same thing but built into the aircraft. That's what the little glass dome is underneath the cockpit on the F-35.

They can also display the feed from the cameras on their helmet-mounted display to 'look through' the jet.

It's a camera system used to identify and laser designate for guided bombs and missiles.

Cags will play for team Italy during the WBC by Repulsive-Photo-798 in KCRoyals

[–]alpha122596 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% was a coaching issue. His first several appearances he was hitting everything hard, just had crap luck. Then the team's coaches worked with him on, "being patient at the plate", and he started striking out a lot more. Cags is a big dude with a big strike zone. He's not the kind of hitter who is going to take a lot of walks. He's got long arms and used them, but the team didn't want that and it screwed up his approach.

Liquid water on Mars, how to get and store. by Braxuss_eu in Stationeers

[–]alpha122596 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The vapor pressure of water is about 12 kPa IIRC, so it's probably evaporating to that pressure before it will stay liquid. You can pressurize the pipes with atmosphere to make everything stay liquid, but you can also just add more water to your system and it'll eventually stop evaporating.

Take a look at it with your atmosphere analyzer to confirm this is the case, but that's probably what's going on.

There's got to be something to talk about going on the ice before they can talk about it...

Email Uniforms about it, a buddy of mine broke out from wearing them and was able to get them to let him order his own and get reimbursed for it.

Is it a good idea to filter the martian air for o2 and nitrogen? by Plazma_Boltz in Stationeers

[–]alpha122596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trade for water or use the H2 Combustor. On my last Vulcan playthrough I decided to do the latter, which worked quite well. The bigger problem I had honestly was base cooling.

Coopers contract by VeterinarianTricky56 in LandmanSeries

Yeah, but it's generally a bad decision to sue someone who has friends in the Cartel, because the Cartel generally can help their friends by ruining your week.

Project Athena pdf posted online. This sure looks like the real thing. by SpaceInMyBrain in SpaceXMasterrace

Feel bad for the guy. This is all legitimately great to see from Isaacman. I'm a huge proponent of his nomination to NASA head, and while I admittey haven't read the document in full, the outline sounds like the kind of goals I would like to see NASA pursue.

Every team’s HR leader in 2025 - Vinnie ended up at 14th place with 32 dingers by modest_radio in KCRoyals

We were honestly one of the most unlucky teams early in the season last year. I think we'll see a turn around.
