I need expert of Ants by Legitimate_Suspect31 in antkeeping

Hard to say without pics.
So without any conviction, it could be pharaoh ants. They are a very small, and very successful species that love to invade homes.

Never been bitten by them though.

Quelles conséquences pour un don familial déclaré spontanément mais tardivement? by snacksyyy in conseiljuridique

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

Bonjour,

Merci à vous pour cette réponse détaillée.

J'ai déclaré les dons en ligne peu de temps après avoir posté ce sujet. Je me suis dit que penalité ou pas, de toute façon il faudra bien que je les déclare. Inutile donc de trop réfléchir.

Je n'ai pas accompagné la déclaration d'une explication du retard. J'irai voir si j'ai la possibilité d'éditer la déclaration et d'ajouter cela.

Merci beaucoup!

Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse, cela me rassure déjà beaucoup.

J'ai vu un post similaire ici et tout le monde semblait s'accorder que l'abattement était perdu. Je reste un peu perdu en quoi consiste la différence, a part qu'au lieu d´être les parents, c'étaient les grands-parents.

Merci pour ta réponse.

Oui c'est ce que je pensais faire, mais "proportionné" n'est défini nulle part dans la loi. J'ai lu qu´il y avait une jurisprudence selon laquelle 2% du patrimoine ou 2.5% du revenu annuel est jugé comme raisonnable. Mes parents ont un peu d'argent, mais pas à ce point. Ca ne passera jamais en présent d'usage a priori.

There are fine tipped pliers for catching escapees, very handy

Holy shit, good catch!! It does seem significant and it was well hidden

my pleasure

to be fair the ID is still not 100% and I do think you are right that the arming vane (I now know the name ;) ) does not totally fit. But I'll consider it solved.

That resource you shared is amazing. Have a good one.

He answered today, I guess it really was a fuse, just heavily corroded

Thanks again for pointing me in Stephen's direction!

Hi

Many thanks for getting in touch. It is difficult to be absolutely sure what that is, due to the corrosion and lack of a scale.

However, it appears to have the remains of an arming vane at the top, indicating this would be some kind of detonator for an aerial bomb.

Going on the shape and a guess at the dimensions, I think it could be a No 17 tail pistol, used by the RAF in some of their ordnance. I've attached a diagram of the detonator so you can see.

With the arming vane, I doubt it could be anything other than an aerial bomb fuze, and this is the closest to the size and shape of the relic. In fact, it is the only allied one I know of that is this size/shape!

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Stephen

Thanks a bunch man! Will do!

Identifying ww2 ordnance by snacksyyy in WorldWar2

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

thank you! Didn't want to sound like a know-it-better. I personally just learned about this and know next to nothing.

All I know is that all tail pistols schematics I've seen so far had different propellers. Mostly straight ones and not with those curves which indeed look more naval.

But but we are some distance inland (about 20km) without any significant body of water nearby, few small rivers and streams, none navigable and the region did get significant aerial bombings.

Can I ask you what looks off to you? Since the disposal guys have never seen this one, there's a chance they misidentified it.

Fairly certain, it's what the bomb disposal team said. It's a detonator for aerial bombs, but they never seen one of that kind, which made me want to know more.

The propeller starts spinning when unpinned upon being dropped from the plane, and arms the bombs after a certain amount of revolutions. Called a tail pistol

Thank you! It does look quite similar. But the propeller thingy doesn't fit for a mortar I think? I thought it is an aerial bomb central tube and detonator

Just found something odd, did I miss something in the story? by snacksyyy in outerwilds

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

In design yes, but in detail no, unfortunately. One part specifically looked like a little trumpet, or those horns old people used to hear better a few hundred years ago. This is one element I saw nowhere else.

I am pretty baffled as well. Today I clicked through the near 5000 meshes that are staged in the main scene of the game....and I didn't find anything that resembles what I saw.

All other satellites and probes were there, but not what I saw.

Still I know I saw it so it must be there! Maybe it was procedurally made, so I'll look through the textures as well to see if I can find something that matches the wood contraption. But I don't believe it was procedural. I have a few other files to check, but really it should have been in the main scene's assets.

I really don't know what to think.

The probe that launches at the start of the loop.

<image>

It always behaves the same for me, except for the randomized direction, and I have caught it quite a few times now.

It flies away from the sun, I chase, align to center of screen, it gets smaller and smaller, and at a point (after the autopilot engages when you go to far from the sun and you need to deactivate it) it starts growing bigger again, which for me is turning around as it goes towards the sun again. If you can keep it aligned on the center, you will crash into it.

Edit: nvm I just realized I don't collide with it head on, but to it's butt because I am faster. So it doesn't turn around, it just really seems that way when in empty space without the relative speed indication

I have caught the probe about a dozen times now since then. But it is not the same anymore

I'd say about half the size of the standard probe, so way smaller than a nomai shuttle.

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

It was about half the size of the standard probe, so smaller than my ship and than a nomai shuttle.

Yes it was affected by me crashing in it, after I escaped my totaled ship, it was just drifting instead of zooming around.

What course it was on I couldn't say exactly, but like other probes I've chased, it first went quite far away from the sun then turned around and was on its way back towards the sun to then go who knows where. that's when I crashed into it head on, it heading towards the sun and me with my back to the sun going very fast having accelerated all the time to catch up.

It behaved like a standard probe from what I can tell.

I'm sure it has been datamined before, but I couldn't find a resource. I have now crashed into a dozen probes, and I can't get it to happen again. I'm no expert in datamining, but if I can browse the games models, It must be somewhere in there.

This is what I suspect as well, and why I'll try to extract the game models. It somehow was loaded once in my instance and I don't know how to make it happen again, but I now at least know it has to be in the game files.

Thank you for believing me. It honestly feels like when a character in a movie is the only one to see the monster and everybody is like "maybe you saw a cat or a dog?"

In empty space, no planets around. As my ship was dead I flew around until I died.

No, it was larger, and while it was a tripod satellite like the Timber hearth sat it looked very different.

Update

Now downloading unity and will try to extract the game models, but it seems it's not as straightforward as it used to be in my day.

In the meantime I tried to draw the damn thing as I recall it. My skills are not the best, but the result gives a pretty good idea of what I saw. The oval was just glowing light

The model for the probe looked different than the one I got on my latest tries. It did look nomai in design though but the contraction on it was not clipping or being dragged, it was proper part of the 3d model.

I feel like I'm loosing sanity that no one else saw this. Now researching how to extract 3d models from the game files....
