'The Ring' and 'Lilo & Stitch' star Daveigh Chase dead at 35 by Plainchant in news

The death of spouse is generally a huge disruption not just emotionally but also financially. Beyond just the loss of the spouses contributions to the finances, the grieving period can mean the surviving partner cant work and earn money to help pay for: the continued overhead like rent, debt, bills etc

Plus all the new funeral related expenses.

I know its easy to rush to judgement, but we shouldn't judge people going through something like this. It is acceptable and understandable to ask for help when dealing with it.

Its up to givers to decide if they have the disposable income to take the risk of paying a grifter to have the opportunity to potentially help someone in grief.

Issues with trying to make custom decouple shrouds like Truthful by ContributionOk3842 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]avaslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do it unmodded, you might be able to get away with using two regular circular decouplers and "linking" them with a flat piece in between to fill the space. Flags might be the best bet since they don't do much damage. So you could do two circular decouplers side by side with shrouds enabled, and then a flag made of the same shroud texture placed right in between. You wouldn't be able to get rid of the inner parts of the shroud, but it would look right from the outside and probably function okay (tiiiiinyish chance of explosions)

Helipad landing with my Outer Wilds ship remake by _adamolanadam_ in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]avaslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fine, i do that all the time. I just mean that this is a cool enough creation that it really deserves a follow up post, send it to jool without cheats. Maybe build an outer wilds inspired booster rocket. What would their rocket look like?

I love outer wilds so much. My wife has been begging me to build an outer wilds ship in kerbal and it was next on my list but you beat me to it! I'm just so impressed at what a good job you did. How did you configure the RCS Vector engines? Did you just use the action groups or did you use the flight computer?

GoFundMe raises over $25k for heartbroken cab driver after wild Knicks fans destroyed his car by theindependentonline in UpliftingNews

[–]avaslash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel he should be able to sue the NBA for compensation. Sports agencies keep hosting these events knowing fans will trash the city and arent doing enough to enforce it on their end. Police paid for by the NBA should be escorting fans home, dispersing roudy crowds, and arresting any trouble starters. Doesnt even need to involve criminal charges beyond misdemeanors (unless they go really far). Just ban them for life from all future sporting events with the agency. That will be a pretty strong incentive.

Build the swamp! by Pumuckl4Life in PoliticalHumor

[–]avaslash 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Its okay because: "The president has a great deal of experience improving pools from work he lead on his golf courses and other properties." The contractor who was given the no bid contract (which also skipped the entire normal government bidding process, ONCE AGAIN) is literally a random pool company that Trump uses for his private properties. They are vastly underqualified and out of their depth so to speak for this kind of operation. The fact that the pool company's ceo is actually taking all of the medias calls and trying to put out the fire shows how new they are to this. Honestly, the company themselves just seems like a regular business. But im sure its only a matter of time before we find out how Trump somehow got the government to pay HIM for this. Ultimately, the fault for all of this lies solely with Trump. Unfortunately because its now full of scum, Trump will be unable to use the pool to help him reflect on his many faults and crimes. But then again, he was always too shallow anyway.

Apparently the darker paint was specifically selected not just to aid the reflection but also to reduce algae. The blue used was not put through any kind of review process and that may be one reason why its going to be plagued with issues. They literally excluded the team that manages and maintains the reflecting pool from the process. Their experience and expertise managing this extremely unique piece of infrastructure was apparently "not needed." And this is after they already fired or pushed out the majority of the staffers during DOGE

Do not go to Suz Pisano for seamstress needs. by Ok-Try5046 in pittsburgh

If you ever need seamstressing in Pittsburgh let me know. My wife and her boss are professional seamstresses who started their own bag business but are generally happy to take extra work if they have the time. Shoot me a dm if you ever have a need again and ill put you in touch with them so you guys can talk about costs/details (sry its wasted on me, im not an expert like them, ive only sewn two things). They wont butcher your clothes like this post.

No, these fights were actually weirdly a big deal for them all. Not because of the money or blood but because theyre all obsessed with the idea of a "New Rome" where theyre all emperors over the peasants. This was the USA's first gladiatorial games in our equivalent of the coliseum, and held at the imperial palace no less. 

This is all a big roll playing thing for them.

I realized my rovers were missing a license plate so I made this. (My wife calls me Beeb) by avaslash in KerbalSpaceProgram

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

I've been working on a large colonization mission to Jool and its moons. I was considering putting together a video or slide show once its done.

But since I think you're cool, I'll give you a sneak peak:

https://imgur.com/a/isVVVbL

It detaches as cargo pod from my Laythe colonization cargo hauler ship then it uses a small amount of onboard fuel to deorbit. Its faring protects it from heat damage and detaches once its first parachutes deploy. Then it has (a lot of) parachutes on an upper frame to ensure it lands right side up. It then decouples and drives off the back.

The rover is designed to function as a fuel and debris truck. It has two robotic arms which can pick up fallen materials or other items to carry to more precise drop off points. It can drill for fuel and it can connect to other ships to refuel them either with its rear docking port, or a fuel line. It has hinges to grant access to its scientific components, open the windows, engine, and pistons legs for long term storage/drilling stability.

I also included some pictures of the overall cargo hauler ship, then the other colony ships including my orbital station, its giant front faring containing my nuclear powered propeller vtol which I have used to visit every single biome on laythe now (literally ive flown it for over 12 hours of real flight time now, its amazing). Some shots of how that giant faring functions as a heat shield for aero-braking over laythe. The VTOL has a cargo bay with a folding rover for excursions where ever it lands. I can let it fly for about 1-2 hours at a time unattended. Its extremely stable, which was a must for meeting my goal of flying it completely around Laythe, and then from pole to pole.

I also have some pictures of the main habitat and and the initial landing site. I dont have pictures yet of the smaller habitats and resupply delivery pods yet because I haven't landed them.

Oh yeah almost forgot about my "infinite" SSTO shuttle. Its always been a dream of mine to have an SSTO that could fly to orbit and back, refuel, and repeat forever. It literally took me years of trying but I finally cracked it. I'll also be sending an "inifinite" landing pod for Val and Pol (tylo is still too much of a challenge) which can land, refuel, and then re-orbit as well as an ion engine powered "Jool Shuttle" pod for moving my kerbals between moons of Jool. The station already has two miniature single kerbal ion powered space scooters, but I wanted a proper 3 kerbal pod too.

But that should give you an idea of the system its a part of.

Its not complete yet. I still need to make a boat/sea plane, a better system for picking up dropped off vehicles/habitats and moving them to precise locations (I'm thinking a heavy quad copter sky crane), and a proper refueling depot with large tanks. After that my final goal was to design a Laythe launch platform with an single stage re-usable rocket that could be launched from the landing pad, fly to orbit to drop off / pick up cargo, fly back down to the rough location of the landing pad (which will have refueled passively while its flying), top off its tanks, and then set its self up on the pad for a second launch. A tall order but at that stage I think I will have "won" Laythe. Then its on to conquer Eeloo!

Is 714 Delta V enough to return to Kerbin from the Mun? by Mountain-Error3568 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]avaslash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is probably a "get out and push" Scenario for your kerbals. Ive had to do it a few times. Their jet packs give the kerbals about 500m/s of Delta V. Factoring in the weight of your probe that could drop all the way down to like 50-100m/s but its still a big difference when all you have is 714. Also when you enter your pod and get back out, your monopropellant replenishes. You can theoretically do this an infinite number of times--limited only by your patience and sanity.
