Cool, I was wrong when I was sure the next launch would be a starshio, due to months of root-cause analysis and fix determinatiin and documentstion.

incredibly impressive to me.

Yes, the US Government is locked into many monopolies, especially for highly specialized items.
That doesn’t make one more better at all though.
I disagree with his second point. We’ve seen for years now, that when companies act like monopolists, they become a successful monopoly. There is very little checks and balances here. Yeah, they risk antitrust actions, but those happen so incredibly rarely.
And in so far as competition, investment heavy industry like this needs billions in startup capital. Very few, if any, are going to get that.

They’ve propably been in a vacuum chamber before no?

The actual launch will probably take a while, after the launch failure, right?

I’d expect a launch stop of multiple months for now.

oh this is a cool concept

Now when it comes to overtaking if you get pushed wide that should be interpreted one way with it absolutely not counting to your track limits violations and if you choose to run wide to hold onto the position that should be interpreted the other way.

but isn’t ‘being pushed wide’ and ‘choosing to run wide’ arguable in practice?
in a battle for position, the one on the inside will take any space given.

Maybe this is the reason they get 3 free passes for these situations (running wide with no clear advantage gained)

Thanks to independent access to space, I think there is a decent chance that starship will dominate and others will still survive

If Norris were right and following the track limits makes for boring races, I still don’t think drivers being allowed to ignore the track limits should be the solution.

First off, F1 is F1 because of the track shapes. Change those, and you arrive at Drag Racing, Nascar etc.

thanks, i didn’t know that was coming

i don’t understand.

my PHB already has rogue, warlock, druid, wizard and ranger?!
even Paladin and Cleric are there!

Do you watch for that little bit of “ooze” every print?

No (I have an XL with a nozzle wiping mod), but it might make sense to check if the filament/temperature combination produces ooze. Because when I had that Issue I had similar intermittent issues which looked like your image, which I guess is a too high nozzle due to build-up filament on the nozzle during probing, which results in the gaps between the laid down filament, as well as the low bed adhesion.

I would check for a few prints if oozing is the core issue or not, and depending if I want to keep using that filament (e.g. a gifted 200g roll would not be worth the effort in my personal view), I might try and reduce the nozzle Temperature which the printer sets before tapping the bed.

I’d need some more details here.

Stock Nozzle (0.4mm)?
What Filament are you trying to Print?
What did “cleaning the build plate” entail?

Is the nozzle actually clean when the Printer taps the build plate? If not, it may be useful to quickly remove any possible ooze of filament just before the tapping / nozzle cleaning starts.

Glue Sticks are imho super useful for bad bed adhesion. Depends a little on what the Problem and your usecase is though. I like my cheap filaments and don’t often repeat Prints.

yeah, weird that the same title sponsor of a team never won both.
I assume the overlap in sponsors is significant?

I was hoping for this.
Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

I stumbled over that too.

how is publicising stuff like this not market manipulation?

eben, als gesamtkette immer noch besser, sagte ich doch

Elektromotoren nur bei 65%?

bin ich da dem hype aufgelaufen?

ich hatte die gesamte kette (Kraftwerk bis Rad) als besser als das im Kopf. Stromnetz mit 0.95, Batterie mit 0.9, umrichter mit 0.92, Motor eher 0.97 bin ich da so weit daneben?

I wonder how you ever could “upload” a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this “upload vs copy” issue, but doesn’t actually make you think about it too hard.

yeah, but it’s not nearly as good as it seems.

ion thruster with a tiny bit of extra thrust snd ISP because of fusion reactions.
