Fun fact: the air conditioner was invented because the southern US is frequently so humid that evaporative cooling doesn’t work, and it’s hot. AC pulls water out of the air in the process of cooling, so it has a double effect of making the air cooler and allowing your sweat to evoporate to cool you.

bonus tip: if you live in a dry zone, get an air cooler. It’s an enclosed fan behind a self contained waterfall. Humid air is particularly cooling.

A swamp cooler is another term for a similar thing (a damp surface with airflow). Humid air is not cooling though. It’s actually the opposite, because it makes water harder to evaporate, which is how our body tries to stay cool. That’s why a humidity feels so hot. Evaporation cools, which means we can use this to cool air, which is how these evaporative coolers work. They don’t feel cool because they’re humid. That’s a side effect. Water evaporating pulls heat out of the air, so it’s cooler. The higher the humidity the worse these function.

Yeah, there’s no way to do that. You can use doubles yourself to track things, but the engine is always going to use floats. When you send data to the engine, it has to be in float form.

IIRC, UE5 actually switched to using doubles for everything. Standard size float makes floating point math faster to perform, but computers are fast enough now they decided it was worth it. It can now accurately store positions much further away without losing as much precision.

KSA is also using doubles I think, on their custom engine. They can do a cool thing where they can render multiple vehicle views at once, in totally different locations. KSP couldn’t do this because of floating point error.

I haven’t tried it, but yeah, at small scales KSP (which is just using floating point numbers) is pretty accurate. It’s at large scales where it fucks up, which it does have to deal with too, being a game about traveling between planets.

I assume it probably would work though. The Apollo computers, as I’m sure you know, weren’t super complex. They basically just assisted the pilot. I’m not exactly sure what math they did, but it probably just had to do with descent rate/time to impact and stuff like that. Again, this is all just guessing. I don’t remember it.

You can automate control your craft in KSP with a mod. All you need is to have it send the data to the Apollo computer and then send the output to the craft. It should probably work with the real solar system mod.

Now that I saw this though, I swear I saw this exact video already. Scott Manley or someone may have already done this.

Personally, for me, I’ve paid attention to it some, but not followed it closely. I think a lot of it is just that I understand it so well and have seen it all before. I love KSP (and KSA is looking great!), and have played it with the real solar system mods. The launch looks better than the game, but everything after the game does better. It can look better (their renders are surprisingly shit still), and I can actually control it.

I love space information and technology, but this is just one more step in it. I can’t follow everything. It’s great that it’s happening, but there’s also a ton more research being done that I don’t even know about. This, while impressive and good, isn’t something new.

I watched the launch after it happened at 2x speed and saw some parts of the descent. My phone wallpaper has been set t9 pictures they took. I’m just not that interested in following it live. I know what to expect, and I’ll hear about it if anything unexpected happens.

The last bit was there to say there’s no reason for this to be a question, except for people who hold that opinion. I agree, it doesn’t really make sense. I would mostly group them in with the bigots.

I find this is a weird question. Everyone is going to be different. If the person is straight, then obviously they’re going to be more attracted to someone who presents on the feminine side. It’s all personal preference though.

As a straight man, I prefer my women to be more towards the tomboy side of things usually. I like really feminine looking women too, but I find the ones I’m most attracted towards look feminine but present more towards the masculine side.

Obviously all these terms are made up though. I would say anyone who isn’t a bigot would date a non-binary person if they match what they want. Genitals are obviously part of this, but presentation is made up. Your presentation just has to be something they like. If they like it then tbey like it. It shouldn’t be more complex than that. Someone being non-binary has nothing to do with that.

All this said, personality is obviously important. Someone can be attracted to you and not like your personality. I guess someone could not like the personality of people who are non-binary?

After they fix the errors, sure. Alternatively, with the group we watch would be nice. Before they fix the problems, and everyone is tortured by demons for eternity? I’ll pass.
