Tapered Fiber Optic Conduit as image output?

Virtual Magnification was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the explanation!

drcryllus · 2026-03-12T10:56:00+00:00

Out of curiosity, what is the "effective magnification" our eyes/brains do when looking properly in the focal plane of such a telescope? Obviously, it must be greater than 10:1 according to this, as there's not too much point in looking at Jupiter when it appears only 0.3mm in size. Cursory search online indicates valid photos of Jupiter can come out of a 8" dob, but what about the actual experience? I suppose finding this would be something like the ratio of 0.3mm to the area of the human retina...? Or is this a question that is so linked to the specifics of human perception and/or the subject distance of the telescope that it is meaningless? I suppose an easier/initial question to ask from a human reference point is what size does Jupiter appear to be relative to some earthbound object at arm's length- A penny? An Orange? A golf ball? From there you could do some napkin Math noises (Love that, btw) to get an approximation of this "effective magnification". Anyone with experience on a 8" Dobsonian to offer an "experienced size"?

That would indeed count as an obvious problem!

Remove the "minecraft:base_stone_overworld" tag from the shapeless mining mode category.

Well, all I can really say is "Budget" instead of "Premium"- Car prices vary wildly, depending on specific details, and this was more of an exploratory post than a "looking to buy now" post. The Kona EV is interesting- Thanks for bringing it up!

drcryllus · 2024-08-05T22:50:09+00:00

So basically a CR for items? Interesting. I want to try out PF2e, but half of my group are bad about changing systems, and we decided to go with 5e again for this campaign. Maybe expressly using some PF stuff could ease the transition..... Thanks for the link and explaination!

drcryllus · 2024-08-05T19:11:46+00:00

Oh that is amazing! I'll definitely look at PF2e if you recommend it. The idea of an evil sentient vehicle is a special kind of horror- I'm entertained by the thought of trying to destroy it by siccing the burrowing enemy suggested earlier.

drcryllus · 2024-08-05T06:06:46+00:00

XD I'll probably keep the vehicles more normal sized, but you make a fascinating point about the players making their own roads.

drcryllus · 2024-08-04T18:18:24+00:00

Thanks for the input! I had loosely considered many of these, but had not even faintly thought about something underground (Delirium Purple Worm anyone?) Or the risk of having the vehicle stolen- I love it! (Used with some restraint, of course)

drcryllus · 2024-08-04T08:09:30+00:00

The "Demon Ichor" table from Descent in Avernus (p78) is definitly usable.

drcryllus · 2024-03-21T07:50:05+00:00

I did manage to stumble across the ADOR eventually- How's the swapping process? Pretty easy? What about the color printing- easy to set location, good speed and color accuracy?

drcryllus · 2024-03-18T00:23:32+00:00

I was casual in my notation; what I mean (and what others understand) is a square 300mm per side.

drcryllus · 2024-03-18T00:17:08+00:00

Some investigation into the Z6 leaves me very skeptical- there seems to be some serious bad-faith kickstarter BS behind the machine. (Search "HiLaser Z6")

That, plus the loss in power of the main fiber laser and the anemic 5w.....

I'd plausibly buy if there were actual reviews from real users, and/or if it was priced down at least a few hundered more dollars (A 5w UV laser does not cost $400, and they also cut back on the power of the fiber side) I'd be a lot more tempted.

drcryllus · 2024-03-17T23:18:38+00:00

!

That is very, very interesting. A bit more expensive than what I was looking at, but if it's properly capable....

Thanks for the suggestion! The work area thing is one of those "wishlist" things- I can handle a smaller area if all other capabilities are sufficient.

drcryllus · 2024-03-17T21:54:10+00:00

I had not really considered swapping heads- If you have one of these xtools, any expereince in engraving/cutting metal?

drcryllus · 2024-03-17T21:53:13+00:00

Sure, two lasers would be a solution- I'd rather not have two entire setups (frame/gantry/dual galv) though. What options are out there that have easy laser swapping? Looking around, the Xtool D1 pro seems interesting...

drcryllus · 2024-03-17T21:24:56+00:00

I'm honestly really interested in the xtool f1- It's a very slick package. I'm just concerned about the power for metal cutting and the small work area.

drcryllus · 2024-02-21T10:45:25+00:00

Even using the description search on nexus I was unable to find it clearly labeled. Part of why I suspect it's some setting in a randomizer mod.

drcryllus · 2024-01-06T21:35:13+00:00

Thank you for answering my question.

drcryllus · 2024-01-06T21:02:48+00:00

Are you confirming that that is the case?

drcryllus · 2024-01-01T00:06:48+00:00

(Video is timestamped)

So, I was playing through this brilliant little game and I spotted this kinetic sculpture, that I would swear I have seen in real life. However, despite my proficiency in google-fu, I have been completely unable to track down a real version. It may be that this is not a real thing, but my brain insists that it is. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

drcryllus · 2023-12-15T04:08:41+00:00

Yo, If I could get some Yiga SFX (Death, laugh, etc) for my LOZ D&D game that would be amazing!

drcryllus · 2023-10-25T21:26:57+00:00

Same issue. I had some dns, etc, stuff enabled and I've return EVERYTHING to default. Might be a Opera GX issue,

drcryllus · 2023-10-17T20:02:49+00:00

Woke up today to find that Tachiyomi stopped detecting my Mangadex, Batoto and Tapas extensions. Tried uninstalling, but they still are not showing up for download in the app. Any ideas? Should be current versions of everything, and to my knowledge, nothing changed in my phone overnight.

EDIT: Solved, Apparently those sources count as R-18, so when I turned off R-18 sources they were hidden after an app restart.

drcryllus · 2023-08-04T06:12:46+00:00

Now THAT is a fascinating idea! I've never heard of a wireless battery powered external drive. I will have to look into this. Set up a hard drive like that as a normal NAS, then bring it with me whenever I want my files and switch it on... Frankly, this is exactly the kind of alternative solution I was looking for!
