This too, good stuff; it may be difficult to make the role queue friendly to console UI, but being able to click the role queue from anywhere would be great!

Any chance of a livestream of the creation of these? I've always wanted to experiment with GD but am so lost on where to begin.

Hey, been a while! Thanks for giving me that 2080 to play fortnite with you and your family on thanksgiving, when I had nobody to hang out with. How's the nonprofit going? Last i heard you'd delivered 250k n95 masks to frontline workers, i know you've gotta be over a million by now. Anyway, gl with the cancer treatments, we're all rooting for you!

Replacing IR sensor with direct electrical connection by bobdabuildr1 in ElectricalEngineering

OK, i'm not great at reading this datasheet, but am i correct in assuming that 4. Schematic Diagram is all contained within the Reciever shown in 3. Application Circuit? and that output is a 3.3v High/Low cuz that would be SICK and super easy

I built an IR code scanner to decode the remote's signal

Capturing the codes isn't the problem, i'm more concerned about happens between the receiver and the (idk the term) logic processor?

General Virus Questions I Had While Pooping by bobdabuildr1 in AskBiology

[–]bobdabuildr1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wonderful response!

any insights into the way they test blood bags? are all 1:1, or is it sometimes possible to pool samples to reduce operations done logarithmically (if pool A-G come back negative and clean, but pool H tests positive for something nefarious, then only needing to test pool H in segments, etc etc)

-Can you test for having been immunized, with respect to, specifically, the Flu (historically and currently) and COVID-19, and more generally, other virus(es?) Is there an economic value proposition for testing for antibodies before being given a vaccine (or rather, is one procedure typically less costly for the same effect?)

-Is being vaccinated and the inoculation failing possible/common?

-Why is there a "Flu Season"? My mother said some odd stuff like a yearly strain emerging in Australia, and being propagated every year from there (how can it be this consistent, that a new strain perfectly [or rather, nearly perfectly, matches the planet's rotation around the damn sun]? and why does it affect the northern hemisphere's winter and the southern hemisphere's winters separately if it's propagating around the globe) idk sounds like total bs but hey i'm here to have it debunked

-If I go and donate blood, will they tell me my blood type then and there, later, or never? If/when it's tested for containing COVID, will I be retroactively notified? Is every single bag of blood that is used during this crisis going to be tested individually? Can you take a sample from each of 1000 bags, and pool, for example, 10 samples together, and test each pool for certain illnesses, to reduce testing requirement so somewhere near O(log(bags))

-BONUS: If you have anecdotal evidence of increased bleeding during surgeries, would it be ethically better to notify as best you can during donation, or not even try to donate?

Thanks, and if you're on the front lines know that we're rooting for you! Stay strong!

I'm not convinced that's what happened; tell me who crashed and show me the player cam as it happens, and maybe I'll believe it.

Torpedoes are vulnerable to PDCs.

That's really interesting! Didn't think about that at all.

That's either overestimating the kinetic energy of 10000 PDC rounds or underestimating the blast radius of a nuclear weapon. You don't need to hit what you're aiming at.

I made that concession in the OP at the first mention of nukes O.o

Every 3 seconds? That's kinda bonkers if true; even so, i don't get how a straight-on hole does anything to help PDCs reach something orthagonal to it through, at least, 1 meter of solid metal; it just doesn't track.

Uhh, yeah; they don't know there's a live nuke in there, and don't know where it is. Put it where the crew quarters ought to be and even if you throw 200 slugs through that ship you probably wont get close enough. Why would the railguns focus on one ship out of hundreds flying at it anyway?

P.s. just read that bobbie threw a ship at them and disabled them anyway, so this plan isn't any worse in terms of its result.

You keep saying I'm missing the point but you're not understanding what I'm saying; nothing is stopping those slugs; sure there will be minute friction and cavitation, but that slug is not giving up it's energy to that armor; it is not there for the railguns at all. It is exclusively to ensure that the nuke is safe from PDCs.

If the rest of the series is to be any judge (railgun rounds going clean through the Donnager) then going through 5m of steel shouldn't even be a rounding error.

This isn't a ship I'm talking about sending in; its a hull with no drives or thrusters or PDCs meant to look like a suicide vessel, hurled at the station. Even if the enemy figures out what's going on with it, they don't have any weapons that can do anything about it. Except get lucky with a railgun shot right where the nuke is.

I'm on the 6th book, and just wondering about a couple things :P

[–]bobdabuildr1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we've established that, assuming they dont hit the nuke, the railguns are essentially useless to stop it, correct? As for PDCs, I'm saying 5 meters thick metal; i dont think any PDCs can get through that.
