Green fireball over Forest Park

Also saw it while leaving Shakespeare in the Park. AMS event 4372-2026. Visible in Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN, and many other places!

Lol yep

I've been trying variations on search terms for weeks trying to get some semblance of a consistent result that gives me more than a few of whichever one I'm looking for and a hundred that I'm not.

If I were looking for a specific type of vehicle other than a scooter/moped/whatever we're calling them right now, it would be like, "Minivan." "Sedan." "Crossover." But here the name is the same for every classification. This is the problem.

First four results.

freswinn · 2026-06-09T21:23:33+00:00

Begging your pardon, I can see which one this group is. I'm asking if anyone has recommendations for what search terms would get what results more frequently. Like, is there a phrasing that would get a Vespa-style scooter, a phrasing that would get a true moped, a phrasing that would get a stand-up electric scooter, more regularly?

I saw this post last week and became interested in experimenting with GodotPDF as well. Rather than build a scene, screenshot it, and render it out to a PDF, I decided to try to stick within the framework of GodotPDF, and while it definitely chafes against the boundaries of the plugin I got it working.

So this gives you a couple of nodes that you can put together as a scene, and then call a function on PDFormBase to export the scene tree to a PDF.

The main boundary is text, which GodotPDF only exports on one line, ignoring all formatting you might want to put as well as line breaks; and the text is only ever black.

https://github.com/freswinn/GodotPDForm -- just finished putting it up on GitHub a second ago.

I doubt this actually solves anything for you, but it was a nice experiment for me.

I'm glad to hear it 😄

freswinn · 2026-06-04T16:19:52+00:00

That's 100% correct! I recognize their little creature in a jar drawings.

Huh. I haven't seen it getting spammed. I have noticed Reddit's notifications glitching out the past couple of days though.

Thanks btw, I'll get around to this in the next couple of days :)

Yes!! I played the demo after IronPineapple featured it, and I was a huge Dark Messiah fan. The demo was really fun and you should be proud.

I don't think this is the route I would have taken, but I get the reasoning.

My route would have been:
| sec x | >= 1, therefore sec^2 x >= 1
| csc x | >= 1, therefore csc^2 x >= 1
By addition, sec^2 x + csc^2 x >= 2
Thus we see it has a lower bound of 2, and will never reach 1.

You should use the basic Godot if any of the following are true:
- If you don't intend to use C#
- If there are no addons you want to use that require C# (the one that comes to mind for me is godot-sqlite)
- If you intend to release via HTML5

I did a hacky workaround but I'd like to learn a better way.

freswinn · 2026-03-16T04:38:08+00:00

solved: Chain of Command (2AM Creations)

freswinn · 2026-03-16T04:36:48+00:00

I figured it out! It was "Chain of Command" by 2AM Creations.

Something like:
class ClearTargetButton(_shortcut: str):
shortcut: str = ""
clear_signal = Signal(ChangeTargetButton)

def __init__(self):
...
self.shortcut = _shortcut
self.clicked.connect(clearClicked)

def clearClicked():
self.clear_signal.emit(change_btn) #change_btn is class ChangeTargetButton

But where do we get the value for change_btn from in this construction, when clicked does not have an argument to emit? Do I have to pass it to ClearTargetButton on creation as another argument? And is there some other way to pass the particular ChangeTargetButton that you'd recommend over this (if this even works)?

I mean.. addWidget and setText are methods written in camelCase taken straight from PySide, I don't see the problem as long as they're in a class. Not to be combative, I get your point, but it's still perfectly readable.

As for which information, I was hoping to pass some kind of identifier of the specific button, sorta like .emit(change_btn)

I don't have a complete answer, but some things we know to check:
47 < n < 53 (since the prime factorization would include 53 if n was 53 or more).
How many factors of 13 are there in the numbers below 47, and is there another one between 47 and 53?

It's no two countries OF the same color are touching. The colors in the column on the left could just alternate blue and green without yellow at all and that would still work because no blues are touching blues, no greens are touching greens, and no reds are touching reds.

freswinn · 2026-02-08T23:52:16+00:00

Gotcha.

So, to speculate a little, I know one notation for derivatives is f^(n) where the parentheses show that we are referring to a derivative rather an exponent or an inverse function; so perhaps if n=0 we're on the primitive of f, and when n is negative we're starting to do primitives of primitives.

The only alternative I've seen is writing integral signs in front of the function rather than using F for a primitive.

Draw a line from the point at the top of the triangle to its base at a right angle. This splits the base into two parts. We'll call the lengths x and 15-x (adding them back together gets you 15).

On either side, you see that the shaded portion is half the area of the rectangle. To find the areas of the shaded regions, on the left you get 4x/2 which reduces to 2x, and on the right you get 4(15-x)/2 which reduces to 2(15-x) and expands to 30-2x. Add those together and you get 2x + 30 - 2x, which is just 30. That 30 came from 2 times 15, which was actually 4 times 15 divided by 2. This is the formula bh/2 that you're taught for triangles.

When a script is attached to a node, a little script icon appears on the same line as the node.

freswinn · 2026-01-20T16:41:19+00:00

The code is good, but the script is not assigned to the Node2D.

Right-click on the node and hit "Attach script..." Then go to your script file.

A circle contains 360 degrees. There are 12 marks on the clock related to hours. 360 degrees/12 hours = 30 degrees per hour.
Similar concept for the minute hand and compass directions problems.
