[silk island]

slang for what 😂

[white pawn]

well, i should say, i haven't been brave enough to try making deer sausage. i have had deer steaks tho

[amber nymph]

Could look it up but specifically "afternoon" and "bottle (alcohol) shop"

[manic torrent]

nah mate, garn servo

[amber nymph]

We don't say bottle shop, i believe. Unless you're some bogan.

[slate swallow]

👋

[white pawn]

hey, i know bogan! i thought i didn't remember anything LOL

[silk island]

so bogan is an unsophisticated person

[amber nymph]

They're specimens.

Running their shitty 5 dollar Bluetooth speaker in the train system.

[steel marsh]

deer is nice

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHQRZXM-4xI

[amber nymph]

They're more numerous in the damn Melbourne train system.

[silk island]

People do that here too.

[winged spire]

Wait

[prime solstice]

I just watch dankpods or his other channels and that’s how I learn Australian

[winged spire]

They got trains in Australia?

[amber nymph]

Its no European train system.

[silk island]

he doesn't even rly use slang that much though

[amber nymph]

There's little need for one sadly.

[prime solstice]

I know

[winged spire]

Do yall not use emus?

[silk island]

ah yes, travel by emu, the most modern transportation system of the 29th century.

[amber nymph]

How can I take you seriously when you say stuff like that.

Dankpods is pretty normal acting.

[grim belfry]

Wrong

[white pawn]

am i remember right? bathers is swimsuit, docket was like note? or something? oh! and cozzie was also swimsuit? and ya got your meds at the science?

[hazy parrot]

"mmmng muh puckcell"

[grim belfry]

The Sydney to Melbourne air route is one of the busiest in the world as there is no viable land alternative

[winged spire]

It’s simple: you don’t because obviously it was a joke.. you’re not supposed to take it seriously

[amber nymph]

Wrong on what we aren't fucking europe as much as I would love to take a train down to Melbourne.

[amber nymph]

I don't live in that region.

[prime solstice]

My papa told me a story about one time me and my brother and sister and nana and papa went to the states to go camping and these kids were throwing rocks at our trailer and my papa had a talk with them and they thought all Canadians lived in igloos and asked where our moose was

[grim belfry]

QLD or SA?

[amber nymph]

SA

[grim belfry]

lol rip

[white pawn]

been nearly 30 years since i thought about the slang from australia LOL

[silk island]

oh god the boonies

[amber nymph]

Eh its not Queensland at least.

[white pawn]

oh shit, not science, chemist is pharmacy

[amber nymph]

Haha yeah.

[steel marsh]

i do know that some parts of AUS have pretty bad internet infastructure

if not any

[amber nymph]

Unfortunately it's bad.

[silk island]

excuse meeee

brisbane looks fucking amazin' mate

[grim belfry]

?

[amber nymph]

Brisbane is alright.

But you wouldn't catch me living in the region.

[silk island]

wait...doesn't dankpods live in SA

i thought he lives in like Adelaide

or just outside of it

[white pawn]

wait, whats wrong with queensland?

[manic torrent]

everything

[silk island]

idk why you bother replying to his messages tbh 😭

[steel marsh]

the northern part or the bush

[amber nymph]

Just not a popular region.

[white pawn]

everyone knows that canadians keep their moose in a special flap under their hats! 🙂

[grim belfry]

Every premises in Australia’s mainland and surrounding islands has an internet connection of 25Mbps or over available

[steel marsh]

oh

[grim belfry]

Every premises

[silk island]

not popular in what way?

[manic torrent]

QLD is like florida

[grim belfry]

Even on the cocos islands and Norfolk Island

[silk island]

i actually want to kind of visit florida bc disney.

but the actual state can go to hell lol

[steel marsh]

i mean disney will probably own florida sooner or later

[amber nymph]

25 Mbps is fucking dreadful.

[silk island]

i have 3 gigabit hehe

[white pawn]

LOL it really seems like it

[manic torrent]

or over

[amber nymph]

Yeah yeah I know.

[grim belfry]

Over 60% can order speeds of over 300Mbps, over 75% over 100Mbps

[amber nymph]

But what as a min is sad.

The problem I have is the stupid prices we have to pay for decent speed.

[grim belfry]

And almost 50% near gigabit today and 2 gigabit by 2026

[silk island]

you mean the stupid prices you have to pay for pretty much anything???

[manic torrent]

it's better than the US.

[silk island]

the AUD is a nightmare.

[winged spire]

If my only choice was that slow I’d just get Starlink

[silk island]

id rather suffer than go through musk's starlink

[winged spire]

Marginally more expensive than other satellite internet and 100mbps+

[silk island]

fuck elon musk

[steel marsh]

i agree

[grim belfry]

Ironically, lots of rural areas on satellite and fixed wireless connection technologies can have a comparable or better experience than those on xDSL

[silk island]

i hope the switch 2 will support wi-fi 6e

[neon mesa]

DSL is dreadful

[winged spire]

I been planning to get a Starlink mini

[neon mesa]

Glad basically every terrestrial internet is fiber now

[grim belfry]

I said xDSL

[silk island]

but whyyyy?

[winged spire]

It is very useful hurricane preparedness

[grim belfry]

VDSL2 isn't too bad

[neon mesa]

Fiber still peak

[winged spire]

It’s literally the only thing on the market with its capabilities and speed

[manic torrent]

wat

[silk island]

but also has insane latency

[grim belfry]

Well yes, but it's not that simple

[winged spire]

It doesn’t

[manic torrent]

... it doesn't

[grim belfry]

Just microdrops :(

[neon mesa]

Physics of satellite internet

[silk island]

60ms is poor

[neon mesa]

That's 4G LTE kind of ping, good enough

[grim belfry]

And a fucking batshit crazy overlord

[manic torrent]

classifying 60ms as "insane" is hilarious

[neon mesa]

If the choice is between that or nothing

[silk island]

yeah i am not going to support starlink. a) because elon musk is a psychopath and b) its expensive just to get the damn equipment

[grim belfry]

I do worry about Australia's reliance on Starlink

[winged spire]

One web has a constellation of 460 or so, the base stations cost 20,000$ each and are limited to 100/20 up/down for 800$ a month

[manic torrent]

I mean, elon is 100% unhinged

[steel marsh]

he is

[grim belfry]

OneWeb is a completely different product

[neon mesa]

Dude only responds when elon is mentioned I'm convinced this guy's a bot

[winged spire]

Not buying Starlink and stuffering with slow internet isn’t going to make him not insane

[silk island]

compared to ethernet it is insane

[winged spire]

I’ve literally been here before we were talking about Elon

[neon mesa]

Not you

[grim belfry]

Ethernet can be delivered over GEO satellite 😉

[manic torrent]

..... ........

[steel marsh]

?

[silk island]

yeah but its not a direct home connection unlike fibre.

you're relying on a satellite

[neon mesa]

I don't think we use ethernet for any internet backend...

[grim belfry]

That's not the point

[winged spire]

Once Starlink v3s come on line gigabit to individual base stations becomes possible

[grim belfry]

You almost certainly do

[neon mesa]

You know what i mean

[silk island]

how do you think servers are connected to each other?!

[winged spire]

The next starship launch in 7 days will carry 10 simulated Starlink v3s upto altitude

[neon mesa]

Definitely not 1000km ethernet

[winged spire]

Suborbital though

[grim belfry]

Literally 1000km ethernet

[manic torrent]

....

[silk island]

Ummm?

"The Internet Protocol is commonly carried over Ethernet and so it is considered one of the key technologies that make up the Internet."

[neon mesa]

Definitely not the typical 8p8c cat6 connection people usually refer ethernet to

[grim belfry]

No because that cat6 cable isn't ethernet

And in this context that is important

[winged spire]

What if the real Ethernet was the friends we made along the way

[manic torrent]

Realistically the comparison that Evelyn was making between high speed short distance terrestrial communication and starlink is stupid for scenarios in which starlink makes sense.

[white pawn]

do i remember correctly that starlink had a maximum number of users worldwide at full rollout in the millions? i swear i remember reading that somewhere and laughing

might have been tens of millions, but still

[grim belfry]

Yes. It is already very oversubscribed in some areas

[winged spire]

Depends

[grim belfry]

They've also introduced a congestion charge lmao

[manic torrent]

Omg services have capacity limits. Incredible.

[neon mesa]

Starlink is meant for places regular high speed terrestrial can't reach anyway

[white pawn]

oh, thats hilarious

[silk island]

starlink doesn't make sense unless you're in the middle of nowhere or in a developing country with shoddy internet infrastructure but even then those countries should invest more in their internet infrastructure where possible to reduce reliance on starlink

[winged spire]

They’re switching to starlink v3s soon, probably going to start launching them this year

[neon mesa]

Yea..
That's what it is advertised for

[manic torrent]

.. yes. That's literally my point.

[unreal turtle]

the speeds i get from starlink are like...cable/dsl speeds

[winged spire]

Those have a FUCK ton of bandwidth comparatively

[grim belfry]

The Elon bootlickers would like a word

[silk island]

but also u could've been nicer without using the term "stupid"

[white pawn]

oh i know, i just find it funny that there are countries who have slowed their rollout of internet infrastructure due to starlink.

[neon mesa]

This is like complaining a semitruck can't race a nascar

[winged spire]

This is correct

[neon mesa]

No shit they're different

[grim belfry]

Stupid Americans

[silk island]

heck u topslop

[winged spire]

My main reason for Starlink is internet while on the move/camping and emergency backup

A hurricanes can take my power out for 2 solid weeks

[grim belfry]

Just don't cancel your subscription lol

[steel marsh]

there also a country who has use to starlink for reasons

[winged spire]

You’re essentially completely cut off

[silk island]

yeah and a hurricane can get rid of your satellite if its strong enough...

[winged spire]

What

[neon mesa]

This is what happens when the government have a monopoly over their internet infra.

[grim belfry]

?

[winged spire]

Are you trolling now

[silk island]

no

[manic torrent]

Uhhhh

[winged spire]

That might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read

[steel marsh]

i know germany is bad with isp monoply

[manic torrent]

Space hurricane! Coming to a theatre near you!

[neon mesa]

We have orbital storm now?

[grim belfry]

Obviously havent been in tc1 for very long before

[winged spire]

😭

[manic torrent]

Where are satellites?

[neon mesa]

Yea, and where's the satellite at

[winged spire]

Do you know what a satellite is

[unreal turtle]

im thinking evelyn meant satellite dish

[silk island]

im talking about the base station...

[winged spire]

The dish would be… in my house

You just hold on to it

[manic torrent]

That's.... Not a satellite

[silk island]

um

yeah good fucking luck with that?

[grim belfry]

Base station is the wrong word FYI

[winged spire]

What

[silk island]

it has to be in sight of a satellite

[grim belfry]

The base station is the satellite

[neon mesa]

It's only used in emergency

[winged spire]

Yeah so you … take it outside…. And put it up …. Once the hurricane is over

[steel marsh]

the satellite reciever ?

[white pawn]

well, on it, most satellite coneections require a line of sigh linkage

[silk island]

won't save u if your house gets destroyed

[manic torrent]

If only there was some advance warning of hurricanes

[grim belfry]

Oh my god

[winged spire]

Then I would be dead.

[white pawn]

which, by the way, sucks during a storm 😛

[steel marsh]

its almost like theres an emergency broadcast system for extreme weather warnings

[neon mesa]

Guys i think we shouldn't have hurricane emergency supplies anymore

[manic torrent]

.... Nobody is talking about during the storm you absolute pelican.

[neon mesa]

Also, storm cellars

[silk island]

aren't a thing in most places.

[neon mesa]

How is this starlink fault

[manic torrent]

... But are in places where you get hurricanes

[grim belfry]

They are in hurricane prone areas...

[winged spire]

Not really

[neon mesa]

You're moving the goalpost so hard rn

[silk island]

did i say that???

[white pawn]

oh, im not talking big stuff, i know even a decent fog can screw up satellite reception

[winged spire]

My house is placed 16 feet below sea level

Try digging a basement there lol

[grim belfry]

Sounds like a dumb place to build a house

[white pawn]

havent seen it on starlink myself, so i dunno if they have improved that part any

[manic torrent]

Sounds like climate change is going to be fun for you

[steel marsh]

some places you cannot dig basements because of the ground

[silk island]

why. the. fuck. do you live in a house that's below sea level. in a city such as new orelans. that's actually insane.

[winged spire]

Also most hurricanes damage comes from flooding… you don’t want to be in a basement when the water comes

[steel marsh]

some places the ground is very hard and limestone

[winged spire]

Wait till you here the average elevation for New Orleans lmao

[silk island]

im well aware of its elevation

[steel marsh]

tbh most places in the uk don't have basements but have attics/lofts

[silk island]

and im well aware of hurricane katrina and its damage as well

[winged spire]

New Orleans is literally bowl shaped

[manic torrent]

... Yes, hurricanes are very common in the UK

[neon mesa]

Starlink definitely degrades in heavy fog but not to the point of unusability thanks to the dense constellation and beam forming

[white pawn]

yeah, most of florida, some of georgia(thanks stone mountain) a lot of lousiana cause a lot of it is below sea level 😛 bunch of the washington DC area cause a lot of it was swamp

[steel marsh]

flooding is for some areas

but ye

its not a hurricane

[winged spire]

Storm Cellars are more a tornado thing

Or like… typhoons I guess

[white pawn]

ahh, cool beans, i always figured there had to be a way to get around that

[silk island]

the uk doesn't get hurricanes though 😂

the uk literally can't get hurricanes due to the lattitudes at which the uk is located

they don't have the means to form near or around the uk

[neon mesa]

It should be even less affected by the time the constellation is replaced with V3 sats

[winged spire]

V3 is going to be sick

[neon mesa]

Which they're testing the launch of using simulators on IFT-7

[white pawn]

we can't have a basement at my house because the entire front third of the property(which the house is in) has solid rock about 4 feet below the dirt

[winged spire]

7 days

[neon mesa]

Feels so long
Well at least there's new glenn launch on monday to fill in

[winged spire]

They’re most likely going to be just like a steel frame the right weight and size and such

[silk island]

i don't agree with starlink polluting space with their constellations

[winged spire]

They don’t

Starlink satellites automatically fall out of orbit and burn up naturally

[neon mesa]

Within 5 years

[winged spire]

They’re targeting 10 now

[silk island]

https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/spacex-starlinks-astronomy-1.7334803

[winged spire]

That is for amateur autonomists only

[neon mesa]

Natural orbital decay is still the same, this is with better reboost capability of V3

[white pawn]

honestly, i think the biggest thing for me against starlink is the pollution for astronomy. my sisster in law works at an observatory in arizona and apparently it just totally screws up some shots of stuff

[silk island]

"amateur" the fuck is wrong with you?

[winged spire]

Do you know what amateur means?

[manic torrent]

wut?

[silk island]

even professional autonomists are dealing with light pollution

[neon mesa]

Amateur is not a deragotory statement at all

[silk island]

bugger off with that

[neon mesa]

Also, astrology....?

[silk island]

miswording

[winged spire]

Starlink avoids all major observatories

And the light given back to earth has been reduced by like 90% since the first sattilites launched in 2021

[silk island]

that doesn't matter when these massive starlink constellations are still polluting the hell out of space

[winged spire]

Ok

[neon mesa]

This is why we don't let any form of derangement syndromes cloud our heads from facts

[grim belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/scorpio-astrology-gta-sorry-rhirhired-gif-23102615

[winged spire]

Clearly since your so invested in space lol

[neon mesa]

I love astrology
I know exactly which people to avoid

Which is anyone who believes in it

[tired glade]

Lol

[silk island]

thats a bit harsh isn't it

[grim belfry]

You seem like a Leo

[winged spire]

Starlink’s cap is now like 270tbps or something, a SINGLE launch of v3s could add 60tbps to the constellations

Meaning more big internet less satellites

[neon mesa]

Bandwidth scaling kinda goes exponential in relation to size
Also they're not reducing constellation size

[tired glade]

Is starlink even a margarita of satellite installation on orbits?

[winged spire]

?

[white pawn]

uhh, apparently not? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4dnr8zemgo

[grim belfry]

I would like to point out that little old Australia's two birds have like 130Gbps of capacity

[winged spire]

There’s 6400 in the constellation now

[tired glade]

Political reasons?

[white pawn]

huh?

[winged spire]

6400 satellites in Starlink

[tired glade]

Oh, Yemen also blocked

[grim belfry]

I wonder if you can use Starlink in the ARQZs

[cerulean talon]

Is this a new thing in YouTube?

[tired glade]

550km orbit, they are pretty low

[winged spire]

We are also working on polluting mars

[cerulean talon]

The like YouTube guidelines thing in the comment section

[white pawn]

no, unless the fact that they aren't avoiding observatories, are making it harder for both radio and visual telescoped to see, and are apparently 3m wide panel thingies in space(meaning the bloc a spot that size, EACH) is political? @tired glade

[silk island]

no

[amber nymph]

Oh they've been there fore a while Annie.

[cerulean talon]

I’m just now noticing it lol

[winged spire]

SpaceX has the marslink satellite concept for mars

[neon mesa]

Good thing mars is dead, we can pollute all we want

[grim belfry]

Ah looks like they get turned off in ARQZWA

[winged spire]

Basically starlink for mars orbit

[amber nymph]

Yeah I just noticed the crappy AI summeries.

[grim belfry]

I wonder if they get turned off near Murriyang

[neon mesa]

Mars link will be closer to conventional satnet than Starlink

[winged spire]

Well sure

Still literally a modded Starlink satellite

[tired glade]

Ping will be in minutes

[neon mesa]

Too far for deploying full constellation effectively

[winged spire]

As usual

[neon mesa]

44m for two way at the highest 😆

[white pawn]

ehh, so you take this GIANT rubber band...... 🙂

[manic torrent]

or 18km southwest of alice springs

[tired glade]

Until there is civilisation there

[grim belfry]

That's ARQZWA, no?

[winged spire]

Mars link isn’t for a colony

[grim belfry]

Nope nevermind

[winged spire]

Part of a gov contract to speak to like the rovers and other devices

Potentially a manned mission on day

[tired glade]

So, what point of it?

[manic torrent]

loooong way from there

[grim belfry]

I'm a bit slow lol

[white pawn]

mars will be harder to colonize than the moon anyway, some of those dust storms are BRUTAL

[winged spire]

There’s multiple Starlink booths at CES

[grim belfry]

Perhaps the CIA wants them on over there

[neon mesa]

They're actually not that brutal, the martian movie depiction is shit

[winged spire]

I’ll get pics

[winged spire]

It’s a SUPER low pressure storm

[neon mesa]

Very weak when comparing against terran storms

[winged spire]

So it’s basically just covers everything in dust

Not gonna knock over your assent vehicle

[white pawn]

but compared to zero storm in zero(or close to it) atmosphere, thats brutal

60mph

[winged spire]

It’s really low pressure

[tired glade]

Just that dust can be valuable

[neon mesa]

That's mild hurricane on earth, and at to that the fact that it's low pressure

If it's anywhere deserving of the word brutal our dinky rovers wouldn't be there anymore

[white pawn]

sand moving at 60mph will still require more shielding on seals, more material sent, which means more lift required, more fuel for the lift, more flights, etc

not just a matter of can we do it, it;s also logitstics

[neon mesa]

They've been doing this for decade

This is not the first we sent shit to the red shithole

[winged spire]

My battery is low and it’s getting dark

[white pawn]

oh, i know, i remember when Opportunity went offline. there were a number of dust related problems prior to it finally going permantonly offline

[tired glade]

Moon will be supply by base for mars, that for sure

[neon mesa]

Those dust problems are not because they're damaged by the dust

Just the fact that dust is covering the solar panels

Physically, it's a ok.

[winged spire]

And it’s so convenient! All the ice will be turned into rocket fuel and an order of magnitude easier to get out of it’s gravity well

Vs earth

[white pawn]

yup, cause it will be a lot easier to colonize. also the lack of a 9-10 month minimum one way trip 🙂

[tired glade]

Hydrogen reactor for source of power?

[winged spire]

Hydrogen and oxygen are already used for rockets

[tired glade]

Isn't trip to mars takes 2 year

[white pawn]

magnetoplasmadynamic thrust, right? basically boiling water to make steam to shot outta the back of a ship for thrust

[neon mesa]

2 years is the transfer window interval

[winged spire]

You can just burn oxygen and hydrogen off the water

[neon mesa]

Travel is closer to 9 months

[winged spire]

Like a normal liquid rocket

[white pawn]

our current record is 9 months on the most efficient path, but yeah, the window is like once every 2 years for that

[neon mesa]

No fancy shit

[winged spire]

The most efficient path isn’t about speed

[neon mesa]

Literally just electrolysis on the melted ice for a hydrolox rocket

[white pawn]

nope, its about distance

[winged spire]

Also no

[white pawn]

and orbital mechanics

[winged spire]

It’s very complicated

[tired glade]

If you can draw a cycle, you are half way to understanding it

[winged spire]

ESA’s JUICE satellite is going to jupiter, it’s going an extremely long way around but it happens to be a REALLY efficient (from a rocket perspective) way to get there

It requires multiple gravity assists

[white pawn]

nahh, way easier to use a mild fission reaction to produce heat to boil the water. then you can also use the water movement to generate electricity. electrolizing water to produce thrust would require a shitload of power

[neon mesa]

What? No.
The electrolysis is to get hydrogen and oxygen.
Which then used as fuel

Whatever you're suggesting is significantly more dangerous and impractical

[white pawn]

and where do you get the power for the electrolosys?

[winged spire]

SpaceX launched another satellite to Jupiter like 18 months AFTER JUICE, but will arrive a year before because they just sent that thing hurtilinf

[neon mesa]

Fusion reactor called the SUN

[winged spire]

RTGs or solar

[white pawn]

what generator are you taking with your?

[neon mesa]

We produce the fuel on the moon

[winged spire]

RTGs.. like on most rovers

[tired glade]

It will be funny, if they just lift a nuclear reactor to the first colony

[neon mesa]

We don't bring the ice with us

[winged spire]

That’s what RTGs are

[manic torrent]

nukular

[winged spire]

Uses the heat made from radioactive materials to generate power

[neon mesa]

Calling RTGs reactors are a bit wrong due to how they work

[white pawn]

we power submarines and surface ships with them

[tired glade]

They landed it, right?

[winged spire]

?

[tired glade]

From orbit

[winged spire]

Humans use RTGs in space all the time

[winged spire]

Landed what

[neon mesa]

RTGs doesn't make sense on places that have plenty of solar

[neon mesa]

The moon have shit ton of solar

[tired glade]

Counter argument is dust on Mars

[neon mesa]

We're talking about the moon nw

[winged spire]

It’s tidally Locked

[white pawn]

proven tech, we've been using for years, why would we not utilize the waste heat to produce easy thrust from easily sourced ice again instead of getting the ice, splitting it, then having to store two explosive compounds?

[winged spire]

The moon is actually pretty coincidental

The same side of the moon faces earth at all times

[cerulean talon]

Why am I awake at 3am

[manic torrent]

if only this was trivially solved with fucking google

[neon mesa]

We don't have any nuclear propulsion tech
What you're describing is yappamagic

[tired glade]

Was crash landing of that reactor tested?

[neon mesa]

No, nuclear submarines don't do direct nuclear propulsion

[manic torrent]

because of your complex human brain and body

[white pawn]

oh dear god. we use nuclear to provide POWER

[tired glade]

What does?

[winged spire]

Remember when nasa would blow up nuclear reactors for fun

[neon mesa]

Nothing does

[winged spire]

The good old days

[manic torrent]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft

[white pawn]

during the production of POWER nuclear produces HEAT

[cerulean talon]

Yeah and I spent too much time playing space truckers

[neon mesa]

Never built outside of papers
The B-36 convair only carries it, does not use power from it.

[white pawn]

that HEAT can be used to boil water in an exhauyst restricted vessel, providing THRUST

[winged spire]

Paradox why would you not just turn the water into LITERAL rocket fuel for the rocket engines you already have on your ship

[manic torrent]

yeah, but hilarious concept

[neon mesa]

A hilariously inefficient rocket

[white pawn]

of course w don't use it on earth, in gravity it doesnt provide enought thrust to be useful, but spce has this wonderful situation called microgravity!

[tired glade]

Oh, yes, period of "time just put a nuclear reactor on it"

[neon mesa]

Forgetting that our budget is not just energy, but mass

[winged spire]

Hydrogen and oxygen are literal rocket fuel used in many rockets

[neon mesa]

You don't want something that eats up propellant quickly

[winged spire]

You don’t need some weird nuclear aspect

[white pawn]

oh my god you are complicating it so far its hilarious

[winged spire]

What

[neon mesa]

You're the one overcomplicating it

[white pawn]

and RTG is a fucking Radioisotope thermoelectric generator

[manic torrent]

so far I see no supporting links from anyone

[winged spire]

Correct bud

[neon mesa]

There doesn't need to be any link
There's something called the space shuttle

[white pawn]

sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. This type of generator has no moving parts and is ideal for deployment in remote and harsh environments for extended periods with no risk of parts wearing out or malfunctioning

[tired glade]

Isn't it from 60's too?

[neon mesa]

Which uses hydrogen + oxygen fuel

[winged spire]

Correct

Used on rovers, and satellites for decades

Work wonderful, relatively low risk

[tired glade]

Ice will be used for drinking water and irrigation most likely

[atomic ether]

Hello

[white pawn]

Water is heavy

[winged spire]

You don’t keep the water lmao

You use hydrolysis to turn it into hydrogen and oxygen

[neon mesa]

It is significantly more energy dense to make hydrolox on the moon than to carry all fuel production on the vessel

[winged spire]

If yall wanna bring up submarines again.. guess how they get their oxygen

[queen grove]

What you're suggesting is akin to wanting to put petroleum refinery on our cars rather than making gasoline

[grim belfry]

See how I said "they" and not "I"?

[worn idol]

oh

[white pawn]

oh, fucking PLEASE try that.i know the head of code enforcement by first name, cause he was our inspector in 2020. the addition is built pretty well over code in every way

[grim belfry]

And how I was laughing at the person who bought it? 🙂

[white pawn]

honestly, the only thing i wish we had hired someone to do that i did myself or with help from my kids was the drywall. turns out i am not great at doing ceilings 😛

[worn idol]

man we still have to lie about us having a new sink in the laundry room

[white pawn]

but the framing is 2x6 outer, 2x4 inner double studded to give an air gap between the insulated double vapor sealed outer wall and the inner studs with drywall, hurricane ties to every single stud, we used 6k psi concrete with rebar and refence, plus a double thick moisture barrier under it, at 8 inches thick instead of four so the floor would act as a thermal sump to help maintain temps with less energy usage. walls are insulated to r24(the air gap adds some, but there is debate on how much of an r value that added) ceiling is insulated to r50(code is r39 in this area) triple pane low e windows, laminate floor(that i definitely should have put a foam layer under to reduce clacking) and we "cheated" an extra could hundred square feet by closing in the old breezeway to add a walkin pantry and coat room/entryway

we also made it so that our 1960s ass house no longer forced us to go outside to do laundry

(that was my wifes "big" ask LOL)

well, and the hot tub, she really wanted one so i got her one

[winged spire]

What sink

I lost all my sinks in a boating accident

[worn idol]

get out🗣️

[white pawn]

when i redid my laundry room i added a work sink, wasn't terribly hard

[worn idol]

bro was able to add 800 feet and we can barely add a sink

[white pawn]

the genuinely hardest part was tying the damn thing in to a drainage system that was VERY oibviously added on as an after thought to the room when they first put in a washer and dryer

the guy that hand built our house in the 60s had no code to worry about, so there is some seriously weird stuff about the house, but also really cool stuff, like, all the framing is hardwood, cause they clearcut this area of georgia of all the hardwoods in the 50s due to the kudzu mess, so it was cheaper to frame houses with hardwood than pine for a while

means i cannot put a nail into any stud in my house without it bending tho 😛 50+ year old hard wood is stupidly dense

but we also ended up with full brick over the entire house, until the addition. eventually i intend to do brick all the way around again to at least make the house look technically "original"

then entire house got upgraded electrics at the time(i ran everything and hired an electrician to come certify it) cat7 shielded ethernet to every room, upgraded power to the central bedroom that we use as a home lab so my wife and i can run our servers, and we replaced the 20 year old sere 9 HVAC system with a brand new sere 15 HVAC with a heatpump, to make it more efficient

oh, learn from me, don't replace your own main power connection and breaker box. hire someone. that shit is a pain in the ass

the most recent thing i did was add a doggy door to the french doors leading to the back yard, so we don't have to constantly let the dogs in and out, or leave the door open when its cold 😛

[tired glade]

French door?

[tired glade]

Oh, garden door

[white pawn]

Yeah that's what the guys that I had make it called it

[graceful burrow]

Interesting solution

[white pawn]

seems to be the common name for em in georgia at least

[white pawn]

most of the prebuilt ones bacisally made the whole door unusable, or you have to replace one of the two doors, and i didn't like that

so i figured out how to make it be a doggy door and still be able to use both doors if i want to

i need to do a LITTLE bit of insulation to it, its got a slight leak, but overall im pretty happy with how it turned out considering it only took about 30 minutes to make

id show the pool table on the other side of the main room, but its a total mess with laundry all over it 😛

oh, in the deck pic, the big arch lookin thing made outta wood is for my projector screen for when we watch movies outside. doubles as a hammock stand 🙂

(the pavers that look like crap are the houses original attempt at a "patio")

oh, one last thing, just cause well, i'm slightly petty

The work badges i actually managed to hang onto(Intel, Nvidia, AMD, and Siemens are SUPER paranoid about theirs so I didn't get a chance to swipe em)

and couple of dragon con badges cause well, they are cool 🙂

[tired glade]

IBM,oh my

Interesting, will Intel become new IBM

[white pawn]

i doubt it, intel doesn't like to diversify as much as ibm does. ibm has some friggin STRANGE stuff goin on in that company, and they buy smaller companies like a kid buys candy

intel just kinda felt like they just wanted to do the chips and fab thing, at least when i was there

and don't ever work for devry. that place was like a middle school

[white pawn]

ibm and intel were my favorite companies to work for, siemens is probably third. nvidia and amd kinda ties at 4th, but that was more due to my coworkers than anything else

[white pawn]

nice! i missed it that year, i was super super sick around that time

yeah, i wanna go back, im an old school Dragon level Member(paid a lifetime fee to get into dragoncon forever), but with my kidneys so shot, it affects my immune system, so i basically need like, a hepa sealed stormtrooper or master chief costume or somethin

or just a level 2 hazmat suit LOL

[worn idol]

[white pawn]

usually about halfway eaten

meanwhile, theres a friggin tuxedo cat that roams the neighborhood that SLEEPS on top of Ares regularly

baffles the shit outta me

That's kaiya, our old lady.

That is fuckobg weird

not sure which one is at fulat for that first one, discord or my phone LOL

thats Molly

[worn idol]

Thats the kinda husky i want

[white pawn]

Kaiya is an alaskan husky/Malamute mix

not very fast, but she can probably pull a car

[worn idol]

Alaskan or syberian

[white pawn]

shes a black and white, Ares is a red husky

and i swear to god molly manages to be blurry in every pic i take of her

That one's better

so, she has 70s fringe on her ears, and a bit of a beard, which makes her look a lot older, but shes our puppy, just barely 2 now

LOL i didn't notice ares being a lurker in the background

[worn idol]

Chat i have located the tissues

[white pawn]

oh, before anyone gets any ideas

[worn idol]

Ares is plotting some ahit underthat desk

[worn idol]

You use lotion not isoprophyl

[graceful burrow]

You should clean your desk though realistically

[white pawn]

the reason he's named ares is cause we jokingly call him "The War Dog of Cuddles"

he has literally zero mean in him

[white pawn]

actually thats mostly from tonight. i made the mistake the other day of forgetting my mask and replacing the hvac filter. took a face full of dust, which i am SEVERELY allergic to

hence the alcohol and tissues and paper towels, cause it's easier to just wipe shit down with a paper towel with some iso on it to pick up dust

and my nose will NOT stop running no matter what i do

[graceful burrow]

I'll give you a pass this time

[worn idol]

My desk has knives boot conditioner and a bunch of other random stuff

Ill occasionaly clean it

Maybe once every month

Twice if im bored

But no tissues like @white pawn

[white pawn]

i wish i didnt need em, at this point, even these lotion tissues feel like sandpaper to my nose

[worn idol]

"Nose"

[white pawn]

hey, you laugh, i genuinely hope you never go thru two full sized boxes and 3 of these small fuckers in a single day like i have. its hell

Deliveries!

This will have sufficient torque to rotate a boom.

[graceful burrow]

That's an insanely beefy stepper gd

[white pawn]

Tada 🙂

honestly it looked a LOT worse than it was

[manic torrent]

Ironically not as beefy as the one I'm using for my monitors. Part of the reason it's so beefy is actually because even though I don't quite need that much torque, it makes it easier to mate to the gears and use with the boom (which is a 20mm shaft).

[graceful burrow]

Fair enough

[white pawn]

yes, the Steeros jar is full of Dad's Root Beer Barrels, the skull has skittles, and the Gin bottle is full of christmas Nerds 🙂

[manic torrent]

But it is 20:1 gearing, so it has insane accuracy and torque.

[white pawn]

and don't mind the 3rd monitor, i use that for retro pc and rpi/mister projects 😛

[graceful burrow]

I salvaged a few steppers from a broken 3d printer and have zero ideas for a project with them THOUGH
Now that I think about it I could make a smooth camera slider, as well as pan mount for my dslr, and use it for

Who goddamn knows tbh

I'm sure a project like that would be a perfect solution for someone's problem

[manic torrent]

That is where the PC crane started 😄

[graceful burrow]

Lmao

I could make a robit arm

Wait actually
A star tracker for long exposure star photography

I wonder if there's an open source project for that

[manic torrent]

There is

[white pawn]

i WISH i still had the one i got when i was at Siemens, was a replica of one of the robot armatures used in manufacturing. hafta see if i can find a pic of one. my son thought it would be a great thing to sneak to school one day and i never saw it again LOL

[twilit pewter]

You also dont have soon to be tarrifs

Could sell your pc more if it was in the us

[tired glade]

Let's wait for law to pass

[white pawn]

but yeah, i went under the house no mask, pulled the filter RIGHT as the damn blower kicked on, and it gave enough suction to the filter that it "popped" a little as it came out and made a cloud of dust 😛

[worn idol]

Itll be a while to fix what the biden adminiatration has done

[white pawn]

so, not only did i not mask up, i didn't make sure the system was off. like i said, my fault 🙂

[tired glade]

hey, i was talking to a friend, we were arguing about 60fps not being that bad, he claims that he has to play every game at 120fps minimum, if not it gives him a headache, i understand first person shooters like apex, valorant or cs, but i think that games like elden ring, god of war or cyberpunk are fine at 60fps, am i the crazy one? (I play on a 240hz monitor and i play fps games at 240fps)

[pallid falcon]

Podcast poofd

No interaciom

[leaden patio]

Insider used to get tons of free stuff back in the day

[pallid falcon]

[rigid inlet]

You're not crazy

[pallid falcon]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/community-champions

[rigid inlet]

[fickle herald]

What's the best CPU platform for 2025?

taking into account gaming + audio (for things like HQPlayer)

[pallid falcon]

We will see tho cuz is new ish w lot change from split of from xamb

[tired glade]

Am5

[fickle herald]

So AMD, 9800X3D or whatever?

[tired glade]

Or 9950x3d ,if it will be a thing

But that one on technicality

Is it capital D or small d in 3d branding?

[fickle herald]

the clickbait title of videos say there are melting problems with 9800X3D or whatever

who really cares

I mean small D or big D

[tired glade]

Ok,it is capital

[tired glade]

That's reddit fake news spread like wild fire by intel fanboys

You can word it a little bit less stupid, but that what it is

[pallid falcon]

[fickle herald]

Yeah, I understood the joke

[tired glade]

Branding is important,if you get it

[fickle herald]

not that funny, just silly but ok

[signal bough]

yo

[fickle herald]

Is 9950X3D out already?

[signal bough]

my friend says rtx 4060 better becuase of ray tracing and dlss from the arc b580, i say the b580 is much better raw performance

[pallid falcon]

My is goober :3

[tired glade]

It should be announced in 2 days

[fickle herald]

I'm mainly interested in running Borderlands 4 in 4k ultra

[tired glade]

What games do you play?

If the game doesn't support RT,it doesn't matter if rt cores there

[signal bough]

the pc is for my friend, he plays ultrakill, warzone, bo6, minecraft, roblox, fortnite cs2

[viscid elm]

then a b580 will be fine

[tired glade]

Fortnite and warzone only have rt

[fickle herald]

Also which brand for 5090?

[pallid falcon]

No can help cuz ni sys requirements in steam

[tired glade]

B580 should be 150$ cheaper

[viscid elm]

product not brand

[fickle herald]

I mean MSI / Asus / etc..

[tired glade]

Any that will be in stock

[viscid elm]

thats a brand

[signal bough]

what about cyberpunk? he doesnt play it now but ik he will to win the debate, he says its good for cyberpunk

[viscid elm]

those brands make many versions of the same GPU core, aka its possible they make the best and worst version of a card at the same time

[tired glade]

Cyberpunk is the rt game out there

[neon mesa]

Cyberpunk is actually quite the playground for the arc iirc

[fickle herald]

Currently on MSI 2080 Ti

I'm not sure if worth going for liquid cooled, It's a hot country out here

[viscid elm]

[fickle herald]

[viscid elm]

also no you do not need to use liquid cooling

[tired glade]

We just got 5cm today

[fickle herald]

Still sure? Summer gets 40c
