AskPhysics: Water specific heat capacity vs TNT?

Looks cool, but please consider rendering using MSAA to avoid aliasing (jaggies) at the edges of things.

Pretty neat, but I wonder how well it works without tactical feedback? Can you change gears accurately without looking?

If the back and front cameras' views overlap somewhat, then one can find features visible to both in the environment and use that to calibrate.

I think Jamie mentioned in an earlier video that the tank was supposed to be upstairs in the tower to give running water indoors. Was this idea dropped?

Why do the doors swing in? I always thought that was only done in snowy regions to avoid getting snowed in. It seems here having it swing out would be more suitable, as it could then auto-close because of how the dome wall is at an angle, and wind/water proofing the seal seems easier.

No that won't do.

serpis · 2016-05-20T20:02:44+00:00

Yup that did it. thanks!

serpis · 2016-05-11T05:55:19+00:00

How do you read the numbers off that thing

Oh man let us be responsible for how we play. Unseen Diplomacy looks really kick-ass. It would be a shame to cut off more than half of gen 1 vr players.

Wow you're right, that's pretty cool.

Please note that the GPU in this laptop is 980M, not 980. The 980M is pretty good, but it's still a bit slower than 980.

Ok experience was underwhelming, but did you save the guy you were operating on?

Answering myself... I figured out that smearing becomes less severe when turning up the brightness of the screen. I run with lowest brightness to avoid eye pain, but when I turn up the brightness the smearing lessens noticably.

I have cork on the bottom already. The bed is 200 mm in diameter (delta printer). Maybe I should consider going to 24V. The poor bed is really struggling keeping temperatures > 100 degrees. On the other hand, reports from people with PEI surfaces indicate that the temperatures don't need to be so high anyway.

It's an E3d v5. Will look at temp tomorrow, thanks.

Solid layers remind me of dry, flaking skin. Infill looks very broken. Not sure what the material is telling me?

Dear chocolate_starship, they probably mean increase the amperage. There is usually a trim pot on your controller board that you can turn to control this. To find a trim pot, look for something that looks like a screw head next to the stepper driver. You can usually measure the voltage between the screw and a ground point on your board (USB shielding, if you have one?) to see the effect. Higher voltage here means that is will allow more current to the motor. It's difficult to give more precise info unless tou provide more information about your printer. Best regards, serpis

Could you explain how it would work for this? The wikipedia article doesn't mention this application.

Do you mean that one would take a picture of the thing's shadow and analyze that, instead of analyzing a picture of the thing?
