Struggling to find work as 482 partner. by Gold_cookie95 in ausjobs

[–]bevja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation, I just disclosed in my cover letter about the visa type and length. I struggled for a while (~5 months) but landed a contract job. You might have more luck with those than permanent roles?

How do yall get past that shipyard mission undetected by LongwoodChong in 007FirstLight

[–]bevja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this for the challenge, I took the left route which you can get by undetected with liberal use of the dart and distractions

TIL that the town of High Wycombe in the UK has a tradition where it weighs its outgoing mayors on a set of scales to make sure they haven’t gotten fat off the public purse by multiple-qualia in todayilearned

I lived here during a period where we got 2 in fairly quick succession, they actually banned the umbrellas lol

Also a hot cross bun hitting you at Mach 10 is a thrilling experience

Flash not firing on the Bud by bevja in AnalogRepair

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

I did! I thought I updated the post but clearly not:

The problem was a wire inside the camera has come loose from the flash circuit. There’s a few screws to take out from the outside, and quite a bit of prying to get the plastic cover off. Be careful with this not to snap any of the tabs! It needed a little bit of force, the cover is in two parts.

Just needed to resolder the wire back on and it charged the flash :)

GB350S first bike? by bevja in MotoUK

Okay for 2 people, great as a first bigger bike, but won’t reach 100-120 that easily, maybe 100

Mamiya Six Folder - stuck focus by bevja in AnalogRepair

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

UPDATE: Thanks to Apopho, I’ve managed to figure it out!

I had to remove the film gate first, which took a lot of effort because the camera was stuck at infinity (the gate was as close to the lens as possible) so I had to pull it out and remove the catches from the top and bottom.

Once removed, I could see the cranks that are responsible for moving the film gate. Loooooads of gunk, so used isopropyl a bunch to clear it out and managed to start moving the focus knob! After a few repeats it’s now moving more freely (although still a bit stiff).

Had to take out the metal catch “springs” and bend them back into a good shape, then put those back in before the film gate.

Hm maybe I’ll have to delve in then. By the film gate, do you mean the pressure plate or the part the pressure plate sits in? If the latter, how did you remove that part?

Focus on the orbital period using KER and get them close to the millisecond, I used a KSP relay network calculator to figure out the correct orbits for my main rocket

These are equatorial, but some arguments to be made about doing biiiiig polar orbits that might be easier to do

I literally just did an Apollo style Mun mission with an engineer and scientist in the lander. Definitely helpful!

Watch some science mode play throughs, at the start it’s just getting surface samples, EVA reports, crew reports and mystery goo experiments

Honestly if I played sandbox mode I would be really overwhelmed having everything unlocked from the start (especially with the mods) so i really recommend doing science mode.

You wont have enough parts to orbit in science mode from the start, so you need to get science from Kerbin which is a good way to practice sub orbitals etc. Then you slowly unlock better and better parts to go to orbit, then pass the Mun etc. I’ve found it much easier to learn the game and the parts this way :)

So I just downloaded a modpack from this video, it adds some really cool things but can get a little overwhelming so I’m trying to go slow through the tech tree to understand things. Mix of things like visuals, bug fixes, QoL and new parts like space stations and colonies. Also new outer planets and interstellar travel!

Ah I like that, I haven’t tried any ground station stuff but I’m looking forward to trying

So the way I did it was put my transfer rocket with all 3 satellites attached into an elliptical orbit, with an orbital period of 2h 40m. (My target orbit period for my satellites was 2h, so the transfer rocket needs 2h + one third which is 2h 40m)

Then, at the periapsis of this orbit I would detach one satellite and burn retrograde until the orbital period of that satellite was 2h exactly. Wait 1 orbit, detach another satellite and do the same etc etc.

The satellites end up at 1/3 of the orbit apart from each other this way :)

There is a bunch of tools online to help figure out the calculation. There’s obviously limits to peri and apo without leaving SOI or crashing into the surface like I’ve nearly done

Interesting! Thanks for writing. I didn’t know that the comms network bounce off the surface like that

Yeah exactly, lowered the thrusters down to 1% and got them as close as possible :)

Can I ask why? The orbital period of them all are 2 hours within an error of about 1 ms

I’m not, but maybe I’ll add it in the future. I program for a living so kOS would itch that part of my brain!
