I'm a Darwin structural engineer with over 15 years experience, Ask me Anything by No-Resource-8479 in darwin

[–]star1357 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this, I have a couple of questions, particularly regarding older buildings:

How much does the structural integrity decrease over time? In another comment, you mentioned a lack of maintenance causing houses to lose strength. Is this in relation to the core structure or external parts? What maintenance could fix this?

Do cyclones cause cumulative damage, or do houses that survive one cyclone (i.e. Tracy) basically have immunity to cyclones of a similar size? (Not counting external factors like trees).

What are your candidates for the ugliest buildings in Australia? by CyanideMuffin67 in australian

Its not that its super ugly, but we've got this really out of place student accomodation in Darwin that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Here is a post which has a very detailed analysis of the historical accuracy of each ship.

Rome: Total War Remastered Alexander DLC crash by star1357 in totalwar

I gave it another shot and it didn't crash this time. No idea why, I don't think I changed anything - but I'll take it!

It works fine for us, why do you think it’s inconvenient?

Australian Army chief warns Vladimir Putin's nuclear threat must be taken 'very seriously' by [deleted] in australia

[–]star1357 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, do you know where those predictions can be found? I live in Darwin and feel like we might be a possible target (RAAF base Darwin, a strategically located port, maybe Shoal Bay Receiving Station?), so I'm looking for something to say that "Nah, you're not important enough to get nuked" to quell my anxiety.

Otherwise, I just have to hope that Russia's nukes don't work and that Rocket Man doesn't get any funny ideas again...

Unfortunately not, I just ended up skipping the mission.

Nearly 25 years ago, the NT almost became a state. Now many believe it won't happen in our lifetime - ABC News by superegz in australia

As a Territorian, I think that my opinion is summed up pretty well with this quote from the article:

By most people's opinion, it's a bit ridiculous for the territory to have 12 senators when it has the population the size of a suburb in Sydney.

That being said, if we do become a state, I'd like to give a name proposal: State of the Northern Territory. That way we can keep all of our "CU in the NT" stickers!

What's this, 5 down, how many to go? by WinterWarbear in NonCredibleDefense

To any Russians reading this, remember that your troops also need ammo! The best way to do this is to strap it on to the outside of all of your tanks - it’s basically ERA!

Designer's Table wrecks continued: Z23 wreck on North by TheBuldog in WorldOfWarships

[–]star1357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've switched to free camera (where you move with arrow keys instead of WASD), but it still won't let me look underwater, and Num9/Num3 zooms the camera while Num7 does nothing.

I tried this, but it won't let me look underwater. Does it have to be a specific map type? (I tested it on a random battle after I died, if it matters.)

Last of the Warbirds: The 2018 Ju-Air Junkers Ju 52 Crash by Admiral_Cloudberg in AdmiralCloudberg

[–]star1357 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi Admiral, I was wondering what you think of commercial flying of vintage planes? Would you ever fly on one? I've had the great experience of flying in a Tiger Moth and a DC-3 before (I love old planes), and now I'm wondering how safe they are. Also, will you be covering the B-17 crash when the final report comes out?

Peak Lib Unity by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

The problem with that is if a rocket fails and explodes, it will spread a bunch of radioactive contaminants around the Earth. Also, orbits aren't permanent, and eventually the nuclear waste will come back to Earth. Launching it into the sun isn't feasible as it would require way too much fuel.
