My school has gone to 5-week 'mods' starting this term.

That means my graduation date has been bumped.

29 July instead of 18 March.

Didn't see that in the fine print, though it does give my belief I wasn't anywhere close to being done yet proper credence.

Well, the 29th is my sister's birthday.

I guess I'll have to celebrate two things.

Take a deep breath, and remember the sage words of Forrest Gump:

"Stupid is as stupid does."

With all due respect to Mr Gump, I think that most of the time, stupid just is.

The nightmare of internet music instrument shopping: Everything that is not complete junk, is made in Belarus and the completely wrong type of instrument.

Just a quick fact-verifying question. I didn't feel like writing a new thread.

Are comms blackouts still an issue for a vehicle aerobraking at Earth?

Whoops. Damnit. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_blackout"]Found the answer here.[/ame]

Funny book reviews at Amazon.com for "Nuclear Energy". I don't think its price is a misprint!

Huh...didn't know that

Have you seen the ones for the Uranium samples? :rofl:

Lol, yes

Found some more silly reviews (seems to be a whole lot of these!): Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable, Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz, Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk, A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates

Pedro was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.
Looking up toward heaven, he said "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up tequila."
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Pedro looked up again and said, "Never mind. I found one."

Remember, nuclear energy isn't just green, it GLOWS green, and that makes it 30% more efficient.

Seriously, is this an easter egg joke?

So I loaded up a scenario with the Normandy SR2 we have on OH, and used a warp drive to simulate a Mass Effect jump in Allied Systems. Turns out I forgot to reset the distance and plowed at Warp 6 into some habitable zone planet, whoops.

I know this is a lighthearted thread, and I'm not sure if this has been posted on O-F before, but Roger Boisjoly, the engineer that tried to alert NASA to the O-ring issue on STS-51L, died on January 6 (article here).

I guess he's right up there in heaven with the Challenger crew- he's probably the only engineer they will feel happy about seeing. Maybe the crew on the next Soyuz launch will pass by them and say hi.

In all seriousness, he'll be missed.


Now, I'll change the subject randomly.

My little Dalek, My little Dalek,

I used to wonder what hatred could be
Until you shared all it's fury with me

Extermination
Tons of guns
A disgusting heart
Hateful and wrong
Sharing nothing
You are squishy meat
And the Doctor makes it all complete

Yeah, my little Dalek
Do you know you're all my very worst friends

Aw man. I spent hours researching what codecs are to improve on my rubbish 15 FPS capture rate...

Colour depth to 16-bit? FPS to 45.......... :facepalm:

When I saw this image on deviantART. I was like: It MUST be turned into an addon!

потрясти = Shake (which is an interesting name for a rocket! :blink.

Speaking of rockets, according to Ed Kyle's website, over 93% of the 5178 orbital launch attempts since Sputnik 1 uses the 14 most used launch vehicle families:

1. R-7 (Soyuz/Vostok/Molniya...) 1727 (85) (1957 - )
2. Thor-Delta (Thor-Agena, all Deltas except for Delta IV, the Japanese N-I/N-II/H-I ...) 606 (54) (1958 - 2011)
3. R-14 (Cosmos-1/3/3M) 461 (26) (1964 - 2012?)
4. Proton (-K/M) 371 (42) (1965 - )
5. Atlas (Atlas-Agena, Atlas-Centaur, Atlas I/II/III (V not included)...) 326 (42) (1958 - 2005)
6. R-36 (Cyclone-2/3, Dnepr) 275 (13) (1965 - )
7. Titan (II/III/IV) 219 (22) (1964 - 2005)
8. R-12 (Cosmos-2) 164 (20) (1961 - 1977)
9. DF-5 (Long March 2/3/4...) 163 (13) (1973 - )
10. Ariane-1/2/3/4 144 (7) (1979 - 2003)
11. Space Shuttle 135 (3) (1981 - 2011)
12. Scout 100 (16) (1960 - 1994)
13. Zenit (-2/3) 76 (12) (1985 - )
14. Ariane 5 60 (4) (1996 - )

The number in the brackets is the number of launch attempts that resulted in some kind of failure (either salvageable or lost).

Interestingly, Proton & Atlas seem to share the lowest reliability...
