Kazinsal posted:it’s the bizarre Eastern European poo poo that tends to explode. a gun youtuber recently fired a 50 BMG round of questionable provenance and it blew up in his face. lucky fucker lived but had to get some gnarly facial surgery that guy was also using a really stupidly designed gun.  to quote the website, it is "the first time a production firearm has ever been inspired by social media. Designed in conjunction with YouTube celebrity Royal Nonesuch." off to a good start look carefully at the breech and you will note that it doesn't have any sort of bolt or loading action. it is a single-shot manually loaded rifle, and the breech block is literally a threaded cap with a hole in it for the firing pin. you unscrew the cap, put in a bullet, and screw it closed. this allows it to be "the least expensive way to get into shooting .50BMG."  for comparison, here are the bolt locking lugs on a military M99 rifle that fires the same cartridge. compare the size of those lugs to the screw threads above.  someone in another thread did the math when this guy's video first posted and the screw threads are rated for about ehhh 130% of the expected chamber pressure of a regular .50 BMG cartridge. meaning it will stay together as long as you don't have an unusually hot round for some reason. fortunately all bullets are made exactly the same and they always go off with exactly the same predictable pressure no matter where they were made or where you bought them from or how they were stored for the last couple of decade so who needs more than a 30% safety factor? and hey, don't forget this thing is the least expensive way of Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Aug 2, 2021 |

the design reminds me of a PTRD-41, a ww2 soviet anti-tank rifle that also looks like it's made out of a gas pipe. it is more than 2 meters long.  it was made in soviet factories in the middle of the second world war and operated by conscripts in the mud and snow and fired a 14mm cartridge that is still used today to shoot down light aircraft. and they still figured out how to make it not blow up in your face.

Plastics are extraordinarily useful materials and just saying durr we have to shut down the plastics industry is a non-solution. Instead simply put a large deposit on every single consumer plastic object that is sold, to encourage and fund recycling. Every plastic deli container gets you 15 cents. A plastic fork is worth a nickel. Where possible, plastic objects should be transitioned to biodegradable equivalents, of course. Stamped bamboo cutlery and paper straws, for instance.

hbag posted:yeah well you're not meant to last on 3 hours of sleep either but here we are You are choosing to do this to yourself. In general it takes about three weeks to make or break a simple habit like your bedtime. If you start getting in bed at 11pm, turning off the lights, putting away your phone and just lying there doing nothing, you will start falling asleep at that time. No it will not happen the first day instantly. You will probably have to spend at least a week lying there bored in the dark for 4 hours until your brain gives up, and then things will start to reset. But if you wuss out and start playing with your phone you have ruined it and will have to start the whole process again the next night. You have the power to change this.

First stop doing that."

i think it's certainly better than being in the back of an airliner, yes. the most dramatic differences my passengers have commented on are how quick a takeoff is (maybe 10 seconds from lining up until you're airborne); the much wider view of everything around you; how sharp and detailed things look from the low altitude you're flying; and that experiencing a landing from the front seat is nerve-wracking because it looks and feels like you're flying straight into the ground. (which you are, i guess. you just have to flatten out and pull up at exactly the right moment) see if there's a flight school in your area! usually they have something called a "discovery flight" that costs like $150-200 where they put you in the left seat with an instructor and you go up and basically do the first lesson.

like a spaceframe ultralight? i encountered a guy flying something like that without a radio at a very congested airport. technically legal, but stupid. depending on the specific design you might not even need a pilot's license to operate one of those, though without a license you basically can't fly over any buildings or built-up areas or into any controlled airports or at night or with passengers and on and on.

jesus WEP posted:what kind of a 3d printer do you have I have a Prusa i3 with a few mods. I installed a hardened plated nozzle so that i can print fiber-reinforced filaments, I built in a Raspberry Pi so it can be on my network, and I reprinted all the orange parts with pistachio green and replaced the blue-and-white LCD screen with a red-and-black one so that it looks like a soviet era geiger counter. Pile Of Garbage posted:hey sagebrush i saw this video and was wondering if you could have a look, what percentage of this is just existing IFR poo poo that already existed only cranked up on precision? it looks like a differential GPS system. you install a ground station at a known surveyed point and it receives GPS positioning data from the satellites, then compares what it's getting to its known location and broadcasts correction values to nearby receivers so they can accommodate for space weather and other error sources and increase precision. that is pretty common in surveying and some other fields. the precision landing stuff is different from how it's currently done. a traditional ILS, whether on the ground or on a carrier, has narrow beam radio transmitters lined up with the runway and the plane follows the beams to land. GPS approaches are common these days, but i don't think there are GPS RNAV approaches that will actually get you right onto the runway -- they will all have a minimum decision altitude where if you are on the approach and you hit e.g. 500 feet AGL and you still don't see the runway through the fog, you have to abort the landing because the GPS position isn't guaranteed to be precise enough for a touchdown. there are ILS systems (category 3) that can guide a plane right down to 0 feet, but they require expensive precision transmitters on the field and so are only seen at big airports that regularly have heavy weather. so basically i think the idea here is to use a ground station transmitting to nearby aircraft to improve GPS accuracy enough to enable ILS landings at any location -- particularly relevant to the VTOL F-35s they are showing in the video -- without having to install the fancy transmitters. there's also probably some security benefit over existing deployable ILS systems, since an ILS is literally a radio beacon shining into the sky saying "this is the exact location of the runway" while this GPS thing could be used over an encrypted datalink. that's my interpretation

we spent every summer canoeing and kayaking so my parents made us learn to swim from like age 2. in retrospect i wish i'd done the lifeguard certifications because that's a killer job for a teenager. oh well. it is strange to me though when an adult literally cannot swim. i know there can be a class/culture thing there (or at least urban/rural) but it is still odd. there's so much water in the world
