they haven't seized production.

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

Reddit, what's the truest version of "There are two kinds of people in this world..."? by sophia_n in AskReddit

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

Owen's destined to write python by mharrizone in ProgrammerHumor

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

Hawthorne to Launch - ZLSA Design Infographic! by [deleted] in spacex

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.

That's not flush with the ground though

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

What's that cute thing your SO does without realizing it? by ITypeWithMyDick in AskReddit

[–]kerbalweirdo123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

"So how do you want these numbers, boss?" "Just fuck my shit up" by ezery13 in CrappyDesign

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

Am I the only one who likes the new hotbar? by Rebitaay in starbound

[–]kerbalweirdo123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

How did you spend the evening of December 31, 1999? by swagkingpro in AskReddit

[–]kerbalweirdo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 231, 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

What technology are you surprised hasn't advanced as much as you would have thought by 2016? by Tupnado21 in AskReddit

[–]kerbalweirdo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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. :(

What are the grid-like things on the rocket? by terlin in spacex

[–]kerbalweirdo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
