I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
Alternatively: TIL most of the people who climbed Everest only half-assed it.
I’ve got a love-hate relationship with private space companies.
Love:
Hate:
As far as NASA facilities getting their funding: Remember that SLS exists and is made entirely out of pork. So at least those facilities will continue to get funding because they’re essentially jobs programs for a handful of states.
MAGA: “No truth, no evidence, no problem”
It’s like all of his rants about low-flow toilets were accidentally metaphors.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Cringe reaction upgraded to chuckle.
Touche.
To Check if it’s AI: look at the hands.
To check if it’s a fake Trump tweet: Look for at least one misspelling.
In the grand scheme, probably not? But personally, if I’m going to cringe, facepalm, or be outraged, I’d prefer those feelings to be based in reality.
I legitimately can’t tell if you made that up.
Whaaaat? No, and I wish I didn’t. I have a Ninja blender and ice maker which already make margaritas way too accessible. Lol
Yep. Mine didn’t have the ones on the radiators, just the wall controller. The only thing on the radiators was a valve which could adjust it a little bit but was mostly just on/off.
No, not from UK, but thought some of the credits would transfer since I’m kinda familiar with HVAC and have had a radiator setup lol.
Yeah, thanks. I saw your other posted and added an edit to mine. I was way off.
The house I lived in that had radiator heating used the wall-mounted thermostats to control the boiler. That’s totally different. Hope you get an answer.
OMG I would love for that to be a real show. It would have to be hosted by the actor who did it in the show; he was perfect.
“It’s always the other one. Let me see the card.”
“No! Never!”
I tried to watch the debate and only made it about halfway through because I had the really stupid idea of taking a drink every time Trump said “people are saying”.
Needless to say, I feel rough today.
Apparently I will forget you, Rural Juror. 😆 But I’m still glad I met you.
30 Rock has quite a few good ones:
Thermostat
If it is broken, they’re inexpensive and typically easy to replace. Usually it’s just one or two pairs of wires: one pair kicks your heat on when connected, the other turns your A/C on when connected. If you don’t have A/C (or have a dedicated thermostat for heat), then it’d probably only have one pair. Edit: Forgot, some have a dedicated pair for the fan. Mine doesn’t, so it slipped my mind.
They usually have a faceplate part that comes off (the part that you think you may have broken) and a mounted part that stays on the wall usually with two screws.
You might have better luck taking some pictures and posting the question to [email protected] to get some more specific advice.
Edit #2: Just saw your new post in home improvement. I was way off lol. The last house I lived in that had radiator heating used a regular thermostat to control the boiler. The one you’re describing is totally different.
I want to say that if you’re going slow enough relative to particles and in the same plane as them, you could probably just kind of bump them out of the way if they’re not more massive than your ship. Note that I would not try that with my own spaceship but perhaps with a rental 😆
There’s several hard sci-fi books where ice is harvested and used for shielding, melted for water/life support, etc almost exactly like you’re describing.
Yeah, same. It’s not like there were windows they could point it out of, so it would have to be exposed and somehow disguised.
Lol, in college, some guy on my floor wasn’t happy with the dorm’s cable TV because it didn’t have NFL Sunday Ticket and brought his DirecTV dish/receiver from home. His room was facing the right way, so he was able to set the dish up in the room next to the window. This sortof reminds me of that but without the national security implications.
RTG for electricity to power the instruments, heaters, communications, and computer. Fuel tank (hydrazine) to power the thrusters.
