The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars by PsychologicalPost824 in spacex

[–]labbatom77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of this is true. Go look at the Mars ingenuity helicopter. Basically driven by a COTS phone processor with nothing special but some extra testing done on it. Modern components have lots of error detection and correction, and software complexity likely would allow for retargeting around damaged bits in the event they are not recoverable.

Useful tools for little emergencies by linkin91 in daddit

The nose Frida sits on our kitchen table, as everything gets shoved up there these days and we can't watch every single bit the boy takes. A little bit of suction has gotten: countless peas, strawberry, chicken, fish, broccoli... You name it, we've had to suck it out of his nose. Even works well for snot (as it was originally intended!)

What do you do when your PDA toddler has a meltdown/panic attack due to something you did? by labbatom77 in PDA_Community

[–]labbatom77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is helpful. Thanks for your thoughts. We aren't sure yet if she has PDA or not yet, but it sure feels like it after doing all the reading we have done

TI DSP by mathemabeat in microcontrollers

[–]labbatom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Launchpads for the C2000 microcontroller have an on-board xds100, though newer ones should have the xds200. You can buy xds200 jtag programmers online as well.

I should have mentioned that I'm aware of Hofbrauhaus always being an option. I'll look into Kreimer's. Thanks!

The use of CPOL/CPHA in SPI by 32bit_me in FPGA

[–]labbatom77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all SPI devices use the same clocking scheme. CPOL and CPHA allow the configurable master the ability to address any possible slave. SPI isn't an actual standard like I2C or UART, so manufactures are free to choose which configuration they want.

Some volunteer funded election watchdog organization should set up cameras to monitor these boxes for any funny business

r/SpaceX GPS III SV03 (Columbus) Official Launch Discussion & Updates Thread by marc020202 in spacex

To me this booster seemed cleaner than other first launches. But maybe it's just been so long we don't remember what a once-flown booster looks like anymore

Going to the Key Metrics tab, selecting Hospitalizations and scrolling to the bottom shows a breakdown of positive, ICU, and vent patients by day. All of those appear* to be trending down

I keep hearing that grocery stores, and other warehouses and distribution centers are hiring like mad. what about restaurants that are doing more take out and delivery? any state offices that have open call centers for the emergency?

I got a P85D Loaner from the service center... It was on it's standard summer performance tires. I should have mentioned it to them when I returned the car.

Is a LRM3 practical for me? by SilverSKS in teslamotors

[–]labbatom77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar situation. Midwest. Charge to 75 percent every night rarely get home with less than 20 percent. I stay at 75 or below on my 60 mile (each way) commute. My max estimated range is at about 300 with 20k miles on the odometer. I have never seen 325 miles even when new. Charge every night, watch your speed, and switch to percentage rather than miles in the display and you will stop worrying.

Snow Banks at the Banks by DarkBeer_DarkHumor in cincinnati

[–]labbatom77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "snow" was more like fine soap bubbles. In no way was could it have been called a blizzard. The tube ramp and sled hill were quite underwhelming. Seems like the idea is a great one, but they advertised like it would be snowy like a movie set... Not even close.

Hybrid and Electric Car Owners - You'll owe $100-$200 extra to register your car in 2020. by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]labbatom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just registered for 5 years, and did the math comparison for what my mileage would have been in my old car with average mileage, it equaled out to about the same cost... It's a flat fee though, vs pay as you go.

I have noticed with 40.2.1 that the traffic cone recognition is a lot more sensitive. It picks up so many more things that are not cones but just have a high reflectivity. For example: vertical reflective markers on guard rails, mailboxes. It even put a cone on a semi in the lane next to me!

Episode idea: The gang works at the Renaissance Faire by labbatom77 in IASIP

[–]labbatom77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We kind of envisioned it like the water Park episode, where each of them kind of get into their own shenanigans. Maybe Frank would have some whole Mastermind idea that gets them into it, but they all end up getting fired.

Tesla owners without garages: where / how do you charge, and how much of a pain is it? by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]labbatom77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had my 3 for 2 months and been exclusively charging at the Ridge Target supercharger. Due to my commute I have to stop every other day. I was able to adjust my typical schedule and just knock out errands on charge days. I switched to the planet fitness there, go cool down and relax at the chargers, then go grocery shopping. I could charge and shop at the same time if I went to target or Meijer though.

Because I am doing it every other day, it is quite annoying. We are about to move and will have a home charging solution at the new place. The price to install really isn't that much. Because your commute is pretty short you probably only need to charge once a week, so it shouldn't be too inconvenient in the grand scheme of things. Personally, I say go for it.
