No, the millions of identical faceless men that i slaughter through every single first person video games aren’t objectified in any way whatsoever.

I’m confused. Is feminism about respecting women, or tearing them down and being judgemental?

The Russians have a tremendous sense of scale in every engineering project they undertake. It’s glorious.

An admirable stance that I completely agree with, but I’d need to get a PHD just to begin to explain all the ways he’s wrong. I don’t have that kind of time or money.

We tested all the parts on the Saturn V separately to make sure they worked. The Russians took a different development strategy, built the whole N1 without testing the individual components, then lit the fuse to see what happened. They were elated it even made it a foot off the pad. Failure was expected. after 3 or 4…

Apollo 1, Challenger, Columbia. NASA has lost 17 astronauts inside spacecraft. There were also several trainer jet crashes that killed people, and Michael J Adams was killed in the X-15, which is technically a suborbital spacecraft.

How about he just leaves and we end it there?

The Mercury and Gemini programs were very touch and go. It’s amazing NASA didn’t kill any astronauts before Apollo 1.

Free* once you pay your 1000, or 2000 dollar deductible. Until you hit that magic number, It’s full price.

Still cheaper and safer than the space shuttle.

They do a test burn of all the engines a day or two before the actual launch to check all systems are functioning.

not if you put the cucumber in just the right spot like they do in these videos.

Jason... Go test drive a model X, or stop shorting their stock (whatever it is that has you on this hate boner). This is getting shameful. The model X doors have preload springs that minimize the size of the actuator needed to move the door. They do not need to be more powerful than a minivan motor.

Please. Stop projecting. I know plenty of children that rise above that description of yourself.

Yeah. motorized doors move slower and will stop and reverse if they encounter an obstacle. I tried to smack my father in the head with a falcon wing door yesterday so I could steal his model X, but the car just beeped angrily at me and stopped moving the doors while my dad called me an asshole for whacking him in the…

I just drove a model X ... yesterday.

DCS:world 2.0 is supporting the rift. Resolution is lacking for it to be really good, but the immersion is unbeatable.

Double the resolution and framerates of the current units, VR will be ready for prime time.

The more load you place on an electric motor, the more amperage it pulls. The computer can roughly tell how much mechanical resistance the window is experiencing. It shouldn’t be much. If you shove your arm in there, it will become quite a lot of mechanical resistance. The increased electrical load triggers a software…
