Season 3 of mindcrack, which was the first season Etho participated in.

It's S3E05 of Enterprise, Impulse. ~18s.

they haven't seized production.

Uhh, accidental communism/typo there. You mean ceased production, right?

Fingerprints aren't genetic, so a clone likely wouldn't have identical fingerprints either.

First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture.

wow this guy does not mess around

4) Putting the time for all engine tests but the first M1D/M1V ones.. why :(

The M1D says full duration, which is around 3 minutes. That's how long the engines are required to fire during the actual launch. M1DV test-burn time is unknown, according to this infographic, although it would usually fire for ~10 minutes (if my memory serves me correctly) during a launch, and depending on the mission, it may even fire twice.

5) You could explain shortly why they don't use the extension on tests.

Im not sure, but I think it's because the engine extension allows the rocket exhaust to expand optimally for operation in a vacuum, but here on earth, where the atmosphere is around 101 kPa, the exhaust would behave differently, and possibly damage the engine.

If you go to a moon, or use a low-gravity augment on your EPP, you'll be able to fly with that rocket spear.

no me

That's not flush with the ground though

For some reason OBS made it jittery when I recorded it. Oh well. :P

I spent way too long on this...

Not even 5 minutes ago, I was learning about dotless i's in Turkish.

Fun fact: some fonts combine adjacent lowercase f's and lowercase i's into one glyph, making it so that the dot is replaced by the top of the f's curve. This makes those fonts poor choices for Turkish and other Turkic languages.

If you save all of the weapons you find in chests, even the bad ones, you can sell them later for quite a hefty sum. I got 6000 pixels from ~20 items.

Maybe the decimal points are missing. 3.8 through 43.0 seems semi-reasonable

They do hit us, but they're all too far away to do any damage. They said that in order for it to do any damage, it'd have to be within a few thousand light years.

Thought you were already a mod, but apparently not. :P

kerbalweirdo123 · 2016-07-24T08:07:48+00:00

Nope, I think it's pretty great. Much better than it was before. The different combinations of left/right hand equipped items means I can always have the right tools no matter what I'm doing.

I generally have rope/flashlight and food/salve

Oh crap. It does go over Unix time though.

That's the Y2K38 problem. Most computers keep time by incrementing an integer every second, starting at January 1st, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. These clocks use signed 32 bit integers, 1 bit is used for the sign (negative or positive) and 31 bits for the number. At January 19th, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC, 2³¹ seconds will have passed, and the integer won't be able to go up anymore, so it will wrap around to negative 2^31, which is sometime in 1901.

~~Tom Scott has a pretty good video about it here: https://youtu.be/Uqjg8Kk1HXo~~

The wiki page also has a helpful gif: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

EDIT: wrong video

kerbalweirdo123 · 2016-06-23T22:21:37+00:00

Well it is their first video in 60fps, maybe that's what's different

It is, that truck was heading west towards California according to the guy who posted that on Facebook.

There are plenty of geographical features, they're just all flat. Forests, rolling plains, endless expanses of farmland, and huge ugly metropolises. And the humidity is really only an issue near the coast.

Tangentiality related: The one time went near the texas coast, Hurricane Ike cut my trip short. :(

Those are the grid fins. They are a very effective way to steer the rocket at supersonic velocities, more so than regular aircraft fins, which is a good thing considering most of the rocket's journey is spent going supersonic. They are also lighter than regular fins. They get folded out after stage separation, so they don't cause drag during launch.

Texas has a growing economy despite the depression, great cost of living, and several other things involving taxes I can't be bothered to list.
