Well it has been a couple weeks and we've had a few really nasty storms and it hasn't budged at all. I still don't even have it secured properly as I've not gotten around to getting to a hardware store to get the wingnuts I'm missing. The only time the signal seems to glitch a bit is early...

That's probably the second time I ever tried it. I have a thing that heats up and little silvery wires. I should probably watch a howto video or something. I know how to weld, and I think we did braizing? Or something like that? In shop class about 30 years ago.

Flux, like limestone? I played dwarf fortress!

I started small with a pair of pi picos and a cheap ass breadboard that came with a bunch of resisters and capacitors and whatsits. Lots of little wires and stuff. I tried soldering on header pins and totally botched it. I'm blind and my hands shake so it didn't go well. Then I learned that...

I think some racing happened today but I haven't been able to find it yet. It looks like Cam Donald is doing the tv stuff again, I like him but his accent cracks me up sometimes. Woit loin ta woit loin. I saw a picture of Hicky, looks like he has one big black eye and a broken arm but...

Hmm looks like more crappy weather. I guess Sunday around 30ish hours from now will be the first Superbike race. Then the normal stuff that is usually on saturday moves to monday with supersport and sidecar.

Isle of Man practice is on. I'm watching the highlights on youtube. I guess the first race in a day or so?

Still have mine! The box is in bad shape though and lots of bits missing. Pic unrelated.

Well I did an unscientific test and just held one of the radar dish pieces up in a strong wind and it seemed to be quite slippery, so I put it on the house today. Until I got it put together I didn't really understand how it you could aim the 2 seperate lobes, but it works well. We are getting...

And the arcade next to it:

A friend found this awesome mid 80's nostalgia world in vrchat. Here's the blockbuster:

Sad! The GPS system on the lambo looked complicated. I've set up the John Deere one alot and it wasn't too bad. I wonder if they just pretended to be confused because autosteer is farming easy mode?

Space is very empty so your odds of hitting stuff are small (other than individual hydrogen atoms). Even when galaxies with billions of stars collide, the odds of a star hitting another are very small. There are also several large voids that would be easier to get through. The ice strategy...

I had a genuine hard freeze today. I had alot running. Was watching owcs on youtube fullscreen, and in the background I had blender, 3dcoat, vscode, and my usual 69 bajillion browser tabs. Journalctl just shows a gap between 13:00 and 17:00 (I went to sleep hoping it would unfreeze). This...

That is speed from an outside observer. Onboard the ship, you are in space, you don't accelerate and then hit a magical speed barrier and can't go any faster.

That color to index thing got really strange. The math didn't make any sense, so I tried again for just an ordinary number as an attribute. In the gltf exporter there's an option for custom attributes, and the tooltip says what you'd expect. However, because I am old and blind as a bat I have...

Forget the flawed outside observer formulae and just think about the basic fundamental principle of relativity: Speed is relative. Lets say you boost up to 0.5 C from the perspective of an earth goer. Now shut your engines off. From the ship side perspective you are standing still and earth...

The math for interstellar travel is tricky, but very doable. You need electricity based propellent free propulsion. There are alot of these sorts of drives being dreamed up and tested and so far none of them work, but we'll get there eventually. Another is a 20ish year electricity generating...

I just wonder if they will have any big dumb mistakes that need fixing like early conan. Some examples: Want to make a suit of armor? Get ready to use a mining pick on about 5 square miles of forest to get enough bark to make the leather. The bark from shaping wood into planks you say...

We had a wild night last night. Around 3am I was doing some art and kept hearing a loud bang. I turned down my music and realized the wind was VERY high. I went outside to see what the noise was and it was our metal roof detaching and slamming back down. I somehow managed to get on a...

What a debacle. Russel had the right idea.

I love the new girl!

I ordered the 40 dollar pole made by the same people.

The antenna is much sturdier than the chinese crap I bought last time. Is it 70mph oklahoma winds sturdy? I dunno yet. I think I need to see it in the wind and see how much it catches the wind to decide. It didn't come with a pole so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to find one and...

Season 4 in a few hours I think? I donut have prime but maybe it will show up on a friend's plex.

I ended up getting this one. I'll unbox it tomorrow. The box is BIG! I might end up trying to put it in the attic unless it looks super extra sturdy.

Mandatory 2 stop at monaco this year. Maybe it will spice things up.

I've gone almost fully StructuredBuffer for vertex data now. It was worth it I think. As for not being able to use 16 bit floats and such, because I'm going shader model 5, there's all kinds of bit fiddling I can do now. So I'm typically doing a full precision float4 for Position, with...

I do not want this but thought it was funny:

Less than a week till practice week starts in the isle of man! :emoji_motorcycle:

I donut use insta, but someone sent this to me, maybe it will work

Joe fought from 22nd to 12th in the moto2. 🇺🇸

:emoji_sweat:

There's some kind of mem leak going on lately in ... something. Can't tell if it is xfce4 or QT or what. Look at my volume mixer eating 13 gigs of ram :emoji_laughing:

Did this get posted here? Lots of cool stuffs: https://endingtheme.com/

Wow that's like full body workout osu! This is an internet friend so I'm not super sure where she is now (I probably should have put a space between those two words). Looking at Keyboards Community - PCBWay
