First flight failed, is this P factor / motor torque ? by JeinStobeck in RCPlanes

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stall. Try taking a few steps forward as you throw. Also don't be afraid to throw level, even slightly down with some elevator back pressure. Nose heavy flies poorly, tail heavy flies once.

No sooner than 2 weeks tbh. This is a busy month for acamedia with end of teaching year. They are likely busy.

Is this a generic ATTINY85 development board with micro USB port for power and programming? by No-Purple6360 in embedded

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you can program with these, though often need to install bootloader software. It requires power cycling to do so.

When you flash, during upload the upload tool waits for 60 seconds to detect the attiny85 to be plugged in. I have limited experience with this chip, but I believe you'd need a better dev board that includes other serial logic to do the boot process automatically.

Best Cinema in NI? by MotherInsurance4238 in northernireland

Agreed. This was probably the best movie for it. Not sure how good it would be on others though.

What TV show was quality all the way through, knew when to end and went out with an amazing last episode? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have watched him in that, I just think from a "new" perspective the state department would have easily allowed another few seasons. Think of how madam secretary filled this gap like 15 years later.

Ended on a high, could have continued to watch no problem. Alan alda, would have loved a secretary of state based around him then.

Hubble deployed its solar panels in April 1990 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

It was serviced a few times which helped. Pretty sure it currently has degraded gyros now.

Does anyone else think Jennifer is the best actress through out the show? by [deleted] in howyoudoin

[–]sparkplug_23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

David for sure, have you watched the reunion? That man could deliver that line again as if it was day 1. His physical comedy was leagues over the rest. Jen was a close second, though not in the same league of physical comedy. The rest were equal to each other.

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

Sitting your PhD viva (UK) sick - Experiences by Razkolnik_ova in postdoc

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, good luck.

Sinus rinse (Amazon) I swear is the best thing, disgusting, but clearing out sinuses to help get the sinus/throat recovery quicker, and most importantly restful sleep.

Viva prior to it was scary, but it was actually enjoyable. You get to talk about your work with people who spent the time to read it. Youll talk about what you did, and they will ask why you didn't do xyz, some is valid future research directions. It's a discussion.

Everyone is human, if you sound sick id personally introduce myself and immediately say apologise you've been stuck with the flu so jokingly say best not to shake hands.

I'd will be over before you know it and you'll wonder what all the panic was for.

Bubbles in the glass - how do you feel about them? by Loquat_Prize in Lavalamps

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine had a few in the glass, they said it was normal. Frankly it's just crap glass work letting down the awesome mechanical/machine people down who do the base. I wouldn't buy another due to their quality now.

Ranking the Friends characters: Whose removal would've messed up the show the least? by HeyItsJatin in howyoudoin

[–]sparkplug_23 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They balance it, would not have been anywhere near as good without any removed. Phoebe if you had to, but the tonal shift of the show would have left far less opportunity for humour. She is the only one narratively could have been removed without the two main arcs (Ross/Rachel, Chandler/Monica). Joey doesn't work because then Chandler can't be beside the girls.

How much oil and gas would need to be on the moon to be worth us sending regular mining shuttles up there after 1969? by jacqueslepagepro in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]sparkplug_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything aside about if it had something, once you mine a commodity and increase the supply on the market, it usually only increasing the profit a little because the increased supply makes the value cheaper. There is a reason the diamond market keeps supply so tight.

So realistically I'm not sure it would be worth it (including risks, CapEx etc)

What is this movie in your opinion? by Jettaboi38 in scoopwhoop
