He's made a lovely ground effect vehicle but I'd be utterly stunned if he can climb above 10 feet.

Stunned isn’t the word I’d use. More like horrified. That thing is a single prop/motor/ESC/battery glitch or failure away from a dead-man’s spin. It makes my palms sweaty just watching the videos.

Hey sorry, but you seem to have forgotten to timestamp the point in the video where it does the thing I said it won't do. Every hop in that video is within one wingspan of the ground.

Programming of building automation systems including industrial processes with equipment running into the millions of dollars including critical products chains that lives relies on. Can I recommend TLA+? It allows you to describe a program or system of programs and then test any compiled code against that description, and mathematically prove that the program is compliant or not. Extensively used for military and aviation purposes.

Extensively used for military and aviation purposes. This is definitely something to consider but likely overkill currently since the application has it's own simulation and debug suite. The added complexity would be a distraction as I am initially expected to work on lights and HVAC systems. But looks most useful in larger, more explosion critical systems down the road. But thank you for bringing it up. The basic programming is old school ladder logic in digital form with plain language scripting for closer encounters. I haven't touched the program software at this time as I haven't reached that stage of induction as I need to learn about the physical systems first and the documentation process before I even start looking at code. Once you get past "Explosions" it isn't bad and I have accidentally jumped ahead of the learning process by drawing out by hand how the application works. I got told not to try to learn a month worth of material in a week which is very good advice. So I am going to take it easy, enjoy the site visits and be the They also want 3D CAD stuff so system building time unless they want to watch paint dry. But it's a place to park me in while they sort their business poo poo out which is not my problem. Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Excellent username / post correlation. Most excellent.

Those drawers seems like a bad design. Couldn't the snake get a little traction from the ceiling in their little space and then push the tray out themselves?

On one hand snakes are curious as hell. My BP gets in a lot of trouble because of this. On the other hand, snakes love being in tight/warm spaces and left alone.

Pretty sure this article, if not proven irrevocably false, has had so much shade thrown on it that its veracity is very, very much in doubt. The same has apparently been said about basically all other eastern and south-eastern Asian cultures so I think its a pretty good bet by this point this is just another "You wouldn't believe what those wacky [Asian culture] do now!" click-bait.

You could hop in the China thread and read all about how those kinds of trucks are efficient roadkill makers and how that article exaggerates very little, if anything at all. IIRC, it's a cultural notion of "only the guilty feel remorse" and the antithesis of anything "good samaritan": if you help someone who was mugged, it's probably because you mugged them and felt guilty about it afterward.

There's a pretty big difference between certain kinds of trucks being especially deadly if they hit a person and a few hundred million drivers all being ready, willing, and able to grind someone into the pavement.

Snakes, spiders and all sorts of creepy crawlies wouldn't be so bad if they acted like dogs. Its super easy to know if a dog is chill but gently caress it all knowing what a bug is thinkin. At least rattle snakes kinda got with the program.

Snakes totally have readable body language. And I'm not even a snake dude. Like most of the time it's one of four postures: - Chilling - did they see me? - I've been noticed! - FOOD TIME/BITE TIME Most people don't observe snakes in the first state and only see them in state two or three, since typically they see us first, and then assume snakes are cagey fuckers. Really, they're pretty chill, but just want to be left alone.

Grand Fromage posted:Everyone ignores traffic lights/laws but people on bikes do it the most. They have no physical protection. Many truck drivers are paid by distance traveled, so they are constantly driving at maximum speed and never stop for traffic or red lights or anything else. People are loving idiots, China has gently caress you got mine cranked to 11, everyone is I GO FIRST in all situations, lots of people don't even know how driving works, no one cares about or notices anything other than themselves, no one pays attention to rules, no concept of public behavior or decency... I think you underestimate the forethought of Chinese drivers. It's not that they plan to go all Twisted Metal the moment they get behind a wheel, but that they see no moral conflict in re-running over a person repeatedly and using plausible deniability to avoid both lifetime injury payments and criminal intent jail time in exchange for a relative slap on the wrist and a one-time fine. A lot of it is instilled culture and common knowledge through community experience, like manners, rude gestures, the open/closed mouth when eating, and so on. EDIT: Those trucks? They don't have to throw it into reverse, you catch one, you're done, basically. Mistle fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Nov 2, 2017 |
