If you drink those 8 glasses of water (or beer) every day, your new hobby will be PEEING.

Darth Meemaw?

The schematic for this assembly is 500 pages long - and the circuit simulator software disappeared into non-Euclidean space when the user hit the 'Run' bu button.

Yep. Bronson, Kansas funded the construction of a new city hall by setting up a no-warning 35 mph speed limit on US 54 (which is 60 or 65 mph otherwise, in that area). They finally had to stop the practice, the police chief was fired, and the mayor and most of the city council were hounded out...

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers! (apologies to Weird Al Yankovic)

For me it would be the opening riff of 'Smoke On The Water' - or maybe Radar Love.

You are correct. Dave Bucher, the co-owner of the assets of FSI, suffered a massive heart attack a few months before they would have been ready to re-activate the company. A few folks in Kansas and Missouri did receive FSI kits assembled out of original stocks of parts. Sadly, I wasn't one of...

Save the farm equipment. Hit it with a tractor beam!!!

Just don't over-torque them...those are un-hardened Grade 2 bolts, and your typical 96 15/16 wrench is long enough that it's a possibility :)

I ran out of closet space at home for built rockets, so I store my 4" diameter North Coast ASP in my office at the University. A 7-foot long, brightly colored rocket turns out to be a great conversation starter for passers-by. All the more now that I have a picture of it in flight hanging next...

Not to mention, all those variable lead lengths would royally screw up timing on a processor running at GHz speed. Remember, 11 inches = 1 nanosec...so those longest leads will skew timing by a significant chunk of a ns...

The reason for using the file with 61 samples is that there are versions of the RASP algorithm floating around that can only handle a max of 64 data samples. In particular, one that I wrote/converted myself, many years ago. It will throw up with a buffer overflow if there are too many data...

Agreed. There's so much overkill in the strength of even cheap, quick setting epoxies (mixed properly, of course) that the paper and wood will fail long before the epoxy joint gives way.

We've all seen 'Elf on a Shelf' - now it's time for: Goose on a Moose.

Someone much wiser than I, and I can't remember who, said this: If the highest paid person at your state university (or state government) is an athletic coach, that state university is, in reality, a sports franchise that runs higher education as a side gig.

You are correct; thanks! I should have looked at my motor collection before I posted! I think I may have one of the E's too. Wicked motors...

Along the lines of 'skinny' motors; AeroTech made some 18mm F45's a few years back. I have one in my collection; was always afraid to fly the thing, figuring that if I put it in a minimum diameter rocket it had better be made out of forged steel - conventional construction would have shredded at...

This is probably an anomaly in the numeric calculations...all iterated/approximated solutions to complex equations have points where the calculations become inaccurate. Most of the time, it happens because there is a divide operation where the denominator becomes very close to zero for a single...

The folks who work at Penrose say that about half of the trucks picking up product from Estes Industries are from Estes Truck Lines...
