    Unique Rail Guides

    This is almost exactly the same as used by the front lug of the Astrobee D.

    What are you reading?

    Also, for Honor Harrington fans, I thought I'd mention The Royal Mantacoran Navy - the official fan association. Free to join, interesting organization. https://trmn.org/

    What are you reading?

    I know there are some David Weber fans here... Toll of Honor came out last week. This is part of the new "Extended Honor Harrington Series". Apparently, Weber is going back to events in the early series and writing them again from the viewpoint of other characters, expanding those events and...

    ICEs and EVs

    I'd be very surprised if they didn't have detailed battery monitoring. For my 12 yo Leaf, I use LeafSpy that gives cell-by-cell health of the battery.

    The world's coolest history teacher? Ladies & gentlemen, meet 'The Fat Electrician'

    The commander of the carrier task group was Daniel V. Gallery, and the story of the capture is told in his book "U505". Oh, I have toured the U505, one of the few things I had time to see during a short visit to Chicago. "boat-swain"? Got the book off the shelf, have to give it another quick...

    Competition Scale Model Rockets - translation interest?

    Oh, FWIW, I found the source: http://www.frms.ru/models Your browser should be able to translate that page. The first set of items there are links to the three volumes of the book, and the second is a link to a couple dozen of Minakov's rocket scale drawings. I've done a lot of work on the...

    Post a pic that makes you LOL

    More exciting than the prep... is one that didn't work. I went in last week after a Miralax prep that hadn't taken hold yet. Went back home and three hours later it let loose. Reschedule to do it all again in a few weeks with the Jug-o-spit stuff.

    "Debris from burning satellites could be affecting Earth's magnetic field"

    Hmmm. Nickel-Iron isn't conductive? You know, the stuff that's been bombarding the planet for a few billion years?

    (looks around) I've decided the present pretty much sucks. Time to hide in vintage sci-fi movies!

    Hmmm, the empty post of mine above - silly site/browser wouldn't let me enter anything. Anyway, I was going to say that just this last Saturday I watched: Forbidden Planet This Island Earth Destination Moon When Worlds Collide War of the Worlds ...more than eight hours of lazy goodness.

    Competition Scale Model Rockets - translation interest?

    Boy, I can highly recommend deepl.com for translation. The 30-day free trial requires a $10/mo subscription but is really easy to cancel at any time with no charge. Since I only needed this document translated I didn't keep the subscription. But it was super easy to use and I think it did a...

    Competition Scale Model Rockets - translation interest?

    All aspects of scale model rocketry, but focused on FAI. It is almost 20 years old, so a bit dated. It's not scale data, but very technical on methods, materials, and analysis.

    Competition Scale Model Rockets - translation interest?

    Is there a translation of this? I suspect not or it would have been mentioned somewhere. The three volumes are about 600 pages. A thumb-fingered translation would be tedious, but possible. Interest? And nope, I don't have any idea what the copyright issues would be. The pdf copies I have...

    Cable internet question

    The cable company will specify a minimum DOCSIS standard modem. Get that standard of modem or better (they are backwards compatible) and you should be fine.
