Was that a songbird followup?

OpenRocket has a little optimizer built in but of course it neglects structural integrity which it knows nothing of…

I helped out with a user interface redesign of OR many years ago. It was pretty incredibly unintuitive back then, and many hobby rocketeers paid for Rocksim instead.

The same sort of thing is happening for the 3d printer laws. Some company is trying to legislate its own software into ubiquity (guns first, then copyright enforcement) and then double-dip by charging both IP holders and printer manufacturers for their "services".

Undersea cables. With a shark biting one.

How is fuel consumption per mile 5x but fuel burn per hour 10x?

The choice of X and Y axis are absolutely terrible.

I was not allowed to use a calculator in my high school calculus class but I was permitted to (and did) use a slide rule.

For me I think a laptop is good enough for distraction-free typing as long as it has no internet access.

The contrast enhancement seems simpler to perform with an unsharp mask in the continuous image.

It probably has a different looking result, though.

The thing is, Unity was great as a UI even on desktop. The main issue was poor performance early on.

Huh? You reach towards the lens from the bottom left and thus a centered position puts a corner of the camera body in the way.

Road throughput doesn't solve congestion when road throughput isn't the issue.

They are trying to widen the NJ Turnpike but the congestion isn't because 6 lanes aren't enough, the congestion is because the three Hudson crossings into Manhattan cannot ingest 6 lanes worth of traffic.

I have a kettle with 5°-settable temperature targets that has transformed my tea drinking.

It also has a function to hold temperature for up to 30 minutes, and because it has actual logic going on inside, when you lift it off the base it knows this and won't turn back on when you put it back.

Tg changes? Or do you mean they deflect sooner under more load?

There are some incredibly low Tg epoxies out there, such as West Systems 105 where "TG onset" is 54°C and the heat deflection temperature is even lower.

I think the main issue is that many filament manufacturers mislead or outright lie about their filament capabilities.

Some manufacturers fudge the Tg.

Polymaker Polylite ABS has a claimed Tg of 101°C but the HDT curve clearly shows it starting to lose strength at 50°C, for example.

It was an intake manifold, so it's continuously under suction. At the temperatures in an engine bay the plastic probably gradually creeped to a point where the restriction increased the suction and suddenly it collapses completely.

I wonder what material it was printed with.

edit: It was ABS-CF, which shouldn't be used under stress long-term in higher temperatures than maybe 65-70°C, or lower depending on the blend.

I would pick up unicycling again but I live on a fairly steep hill, rendering it less convenient.

One more suggestion: if the camera is below the ground, hide the ground texture.

I got one random plane that was black instead of color-coded by altitude. Bug?

Another bug: when you adjust altitude scale, it doesn't rescale the existing trails, it simply moves the planes up and down leaving stairsteps in their paths.

EWR is fascinating to look at because there are three major airports in one area with all sorts of approach and departure angles.

I definitely remember seeing exactly this.

It's nowhere near as good as hydrogen for ISP, it's just slightly better than RP1. And it has lower density than RP1 as well.

It's a good compromise, however, as well as being cheap and easy to simulate the combustion of.

Get the Flock out.

I feel like the metric needs to be "greatest distance of road from solid ground" or "greatest distance from linear interpolation between ground attachment points".
