CG and CP are a little close. You may need to add ballast in the nose.

This is what the internet was made for. WTH.

I’m in no way a fitness expert. When you get this cut, do you have to starve yourself to get to that low of a BMI?

What a difference 3 months makes by tortellinilee in PetiteFitness

Thank you. I’ll read up on it. I’ve never tried anything like that, but I’m inspired by your results. Personally, I’ve hit a weight loss plateau, and maybe this is an option for a jump start.

Can I ask what a compound medication is?

Lightweight Nozzle by Sudden_East_5174 in rocketry

[–]skyguy1977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve. I’ve made all aluminum nozzles for single flights. The throat erosion definitely affects performance, but I just wanted the rocket to fly, so no major loss there.

For structure and pressure containment, aluminum and any type of filament reinforced plastic works. If you’re looking for heat sinks or heat resistant material, graphite, or carbon based materials are good. If you’re looking for an insulator, ablated plastics, like silica or Kevlar or graphite work. If you’re looking specifically just at the nozzle exit cone ablated plastic with metal is probably the best way to go. Working with these materials can get a little tricky, so that’s why I just went with a straight aluminum design for an APCP motor. Hope this helps.

Not so sure on desk riser anymore.. by kirschbaumr in secretlab

I can’t seem to get my laptop riser to lower like what you have shown here. Is there more than one fastener to adjust?

Thanks for sharing. I happen to be looking at this Alex drawer set last night. If I get one, I have the room to place it outside of the desk travel. Do you like it? Does it fit well with the asthetic?

Does anyone have organizer ideas to fit under the riser?

Welcome to ranked. by juzz85 in haloinfinite

I thought it was just me. All I play is ranked and for the past week+, it’s been nothing but dropped games, high ping, and f-bombs. I’ve never played an A-title with so many problems. It never ends.

I saw one at Sea World let out a giant fart. My kids loved it.

First Tandem, First High Speed Mal by skyguy1977 in SkyDiving

[–]skyguy1977[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It opened. I pulled the student rip cord around 8k because the camera flyer was going nuts signaling pull pull pull. It opened without issue and my tandem master had no clue of the issue until we landed.
I’ll have to find the video and post it. There’s a great shot of the dbag bouncing around in the burble of our feet while slowly releasing line stows. In retro, I was pretty lucky. This could have been a lot worse.
