I’m using the 55-200 kit lens.

\"All Aperture Science personality constructs will remain functional in apocalyptic, low power environments of as few as 1.1 volts.\"

\"The gun must be part magnesium... It feels like I'm outputting an extra half a volt.\" This states that the gun is giving her .5 volts extra to work with. Do the maths and you have a abysmal 1.6 volts to work with.

\"Okay, I guess emotional outbursts require more than one point six volts.\" This confirms that GLaDOS is operating at 1.6 volts (And also confirms the fact without the gun she operates at 1.1 volts.).

I suspect my Sandman-K under NODs would probably be somewhat bright on my AKM. That said, unaided visible signature as viewed from the side of the shooter at night is not noticeable with clean-burning powder (Barnaul as opposed to Tula), so it's at least as effective as a generic flash hider with the .30cal FH end cap.

My guess is that the lower pressure of 7.62x39mm helps on a .30 cal can on a 16inch AKM compared to a 14.5-inch M4 with .30 cal baffles (as 5.56 was designed for 20-inch barrels), even with my 5.56 FH end cap on the latter with Sandman-K.

I've read that "fully" burned powder still contains an excess of fuel (relative to oxidizer), so the extreme supersonic gas flow introduces the heat needed to ignite that fuel in oxygenated air. There are 2 scenarios relating to barrel length: (1) too short (unburned powder left) and (2) long enough (all oxidizer used up but leftover fuel present).

https://www.vuurwapenblog.com/technical-issuesnotes/how-flash-suppressors-work/

When you chop an AK or AR15 to 7 inches or so, the excess of unburned powder needs to be burned inside a closed chamber to effectively suppress flash in most cases (fuel + oxidizer present = no unsealed flash hider can eliminate the flame). To the shooter, a flash hider dispersing burning powder reduces visible flash, but facing the muzzle or looking from the side shows that the burning powder is merely being redirected out of the shooter's line of sight.

At 10 inches or longer for 5.56mm or 7.62x39mm the powder is fully burned and flash is now dependent on reducing the gas flow rate. A longer barrel can remove more energy/velocity and decelerate the gas further. With Mk18 vs M16 the differences are obvious, but at 16 inches in 7.62x39mm you already start to approach practical limits with the caliber.

Silencers don't reduce flash at this point by burning more powder (need oxygen to burn that leftover fuel -- this is why you see first-round pop) but instead reduce gas jet flow rates through clever tricks with the exit aperture(s). This is probably why OSS is able to achieve substantial flash reduction by redirecting gas with muzzle cap prongs. Similar principles apply to Dead Air, Griffin, and Knights Armament. The gas is already moving more slowly than an unsuppressed system, so less work is needed to further lower gas velocity at the exit aperture.

The Surefire muzzle cone is a historically older design, but I suspect the tightly stacked baffles toward the front end (vs. the w

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

When I went to see the place, "As is—no frills—good price," the guy said.

"What about that painting?" I asked, referring to the only thing in the otherwise empty shithole.

He shrugged. "You take or no?"

Saddled with debts after an education and a string of failed start-ups, I wasn't in a position to bargain.

"Yeah."

I bought a bed frame and desk, and I left the painting up.

It looked vaguely medieval.

A few weeks later, as winter tightened its grip on the city, I noticed that the apartment, for all its decrepitude, kept me warm at night.

Then I noticed the source of that warmth: the painting.

Or rather—

behind the painting:

which I took down, revealing:

an aperture:

in which a man's head was on fire, his creased face contorted into an unfathomable intensity of pain. His screams—though silent—felt like damnation.

After it had burned, another head took its place, and another…

"What the godless fuck?" my friend Shuster said, wiping vomit from his mouth, after I showed him the heads. "Take a fucking picture."

I did.

And put it online, in as many places as I could. Do you know this man?

Somebody did.

She called me, sobbing. "He was my father," she said in tear-stained staccato. "He died in 2013. He was—he did—."

She hung up, but here was the pattern: everyone identified a dead person; a dead bad person.

"It's Hell," Shuster said. "It's a goddamn window into Hell."

We both realised—

"Monetise."

Shuster was already dreaming: "OnlySins. Pay money to watch the fuckers burn."

We set it up and started looking for investors.

They didn't come easy.

("No one does religion anymore." / "Where's the sex?" / "You guys are nuts.")

Then we met Bubé Bezels, a bonafide angel investor with a taste for the eccentric. "Gentlemen, please call me Bobby," he said between puffs on his ivory pipe. "I believe in OnlySins."

With the seed money in place—we blasted off.

"To the fucking moon!"

Users: growing expo-fucking-nentially.

Subscriptions: increasing.

OnlySins: trending, viral, insidious, preterlucrative, watch the fuckers burn! as we bathed in cocaine and BTC, swallowing other companies and living the life.

The Demons of Wall Street, the Economist dubbed us, and I proudly mounted that issue on the wall of my ninetieth-floor office.

"Sir, Mr. Bezels to see you," my assistant said.

I let him in, and he sat down, taking a puff of his ivory pipe. We had a magnificent view.

"I wish to thank you."

"No, thank you, Bobby. Without your f

In this post, i'm going to show 2 approaches that have enough evidence to conclude the Alpha Lupi Array/Symbol is a map of spacetime. First I'll discus the ARG Alpha Lupi Results, then I will discuss Ghost Fragment: Vex 4

Also, I actually haven't looked at my notes for this in 7 months, so some things might not be articulated as well as they could. But i wanted to post something for Christmas day and for another reason, which i'll get to later.

PREFACE -

Before we get into it, I want to say my discoveries do not disprove SeventhCircle's work nor SaneCoin's effort. In fact if it weren't for SeventhCircle, i would have never become interested in the Alpha Lupi years ago. You know how some words can have double meanings? Like, the word "bow." It can mean a bow to an arrow, or a bow on a wrapped gift. Well, the Alpha Lupi behaves the same way. SeventhCircle did discover the connection of the Alpha Lupi symbol and the music scale. But, i've discovered that the Alpha Lupi is a map of Spacetime

Second, the alpha lupi isn't a glitch, nor is it outdated content. The content might be old, yes. But not outdated. More on that in another post.

ARG ALPHA LUPI RESULTS -

referring to this image [https://i.imgur.com/xgiLCGl.jpg], the things that can be seen on it immediately are elements of a map. There is a grid, there is a 'north arrow' in the form a compass referring to the variation from magnetic north and true north (1d 33' E). if you were to zoom into the top of the compass, you will find star symbol. This is no ordinary star symbol, its a symbol of nautical star, meaning ocean maps. (which is funny because Preadeth said something about time (spacetime) being like an ocean).

There is a second element that bears resemblance to an oceanic map and that is the depth markers. In the background of the map around the compass, you will see numbers, "32," "60" etc. Well, with nautical maps, these give the depth to the sea floor.

Also, in the background there are various hatch marks to represent different terrains. Again, an element of a map.

To sum it all up again, you have the: gridlines, north arrow, magnetic north correction, depth markers, and terrain hatches. Its a map. Period.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Here are a few thoughts about what we see in the recent video.

Abel Good to see the CEO and founder giving us the tour himself. Looks inspired and confident.

Controlsat module right there on the floor it is the heart of the Bluewalker 3 and the Bluebird satellites, and we see the CEO himself, showing how the Payload adaptor embraces the complete satellite, when there are packed microns on it.

**Controlsat module.**How do I know that is a controlsat module? For one it has the proper size and shape, and it s full of spots for solar panels. But have a close look at the assymetrical pattern of black squares on it.

Note: It is the same controlsat module for BBs and BW3, so that there is a module on the floor does not tell us the state of assembly.

Rendering of a Bluebird, we see the solar panel side. Note the pattern of White Squares on controlsat module.

Time made?

Most of it appears shot at around nov 30th 2021. u/Peeloosy pulled that timestamp from a screen in the video, and there was this group photo taken and on Twitter dec 3d 2021 featuring Jason Silva and Abel in the clothes they wear in video. At least one shot is of later date, and that is the assembled device to finally fold the satellite.

We know this device was assembled later in December.

This shot is taken later than most of video. it is from december.

Q/V band earth station tracking antenna with gimbal

This is new. It collapses like an umbrella and packs inside the gimbal, then the gimbal likely pops inside the controlsat module for stovage. 3-4 of these links per satellite might correspond to 3-4 or 6-8 such antennas per satellite. Abel just said "several". Like every bit about this image, except the cable routing as moving cables risk touch the gimbal. But then again finding such weak spots is what this test procedure is all about.

These small mesh dish antennas is the Space section main element of what Bluewalker 3 is primarily testing. The Q/V backhaul link. (The fronthaul is alread

They were stationed at the industrial end of the Ligovka region of Petrograd, at the Imperatritsovskiy Mnogoprofil'nyi Gospital' Petrogradskoy Oblasti hospital. How the locals managed to even pronounce that name was a mystery to Horok.

The area was as bleak and sketchy as they got. The wide, heavily-cracked sidewalks were bounded by pothole-riddled streets on one side and rows of factory buildings on the other. The flat, featureless brick walls of these structures rose high above the once smooth and level pavement, giving the area a surprisingly claustrophobic atmosphere.

'At least they give some color to this Ancestors-forsaken place,' Horok thought as he looked up and down the dreary avenue that the hospital's entrance faced. The reddish-brown brick, streaked with grime and tagged with white graffiti though it was, still easily managed to be the most colorful thing the man could see.

The whole area appeared to be almost exclusively painted in various muted shades of gray and brown. From the old, worn, mud-streaked asphalt of the road, to the exhaust-fume-colored clouds that blocked out the sun, to the bare, spindly trees that grew out of the occasional square cutout in the sidewalk - everything seemed purpose-designed by nature to be as unappealing as possible. The cold not-quite-fog, not-quite-rain that fell from the ashy heavens only added to that guess.

When Horok first laid his eyes upon his new post, his fears of dying from a bandit attack were immediately dispelled. There were practically no windows with a sightline to the hospital and no dark alleys for a potential gunman to hide in. Reassuringly, Imperial presence in the area was high enough to eke out a tiny orange splotch on the otherwise red map of the Petrograd Oblast. The man was pretty sure, however, that he'd succumb to boredom long before any local resistance would get to him.

It didn't help that their patrol rounds were incredibly dull. They'd stand at guard outside the entry doors for half an hour, then march laps around the building for the next two. Horok didn't mind the marching too much; he could just zone out and think of something else, and his year in the Scouts meant that un

###Program Outline

Nairobi Aircraft Limited has received a contract from the Defense Office for an indigenous fighter aircraft to complement planned Su-75M and potential NF-21-II fleets. Initial plans called for a light, cheap, Lavi clone based on salvaged Israeli technical documents to serve as a rearline complement to the stealth jets, but an analysis of available technical resources suggests a far more ambitious alternative. The Nairobi KHK Tchagra will leverage every piece of technical expertise that the EAF’s space programs have gathered in order to build an advanced interceptor capable of going toe to toe with the worst the imperialists can throw at it- or, rather, picking them off as they try to close. After all, symmetric warfare with imperial powers is for suckers.

###Design Overview

The KHKv1 Tchagra will be a massive, twin-engine hypersonic interceptor in a sleek canard-delta configuration, armed with six long-range air to air missiles and two massive extreme-range interceptors . Nairobi Aircraft Limited will take the design lead role, although Kismayo Rocketry’s new Defense division- established in Nairobi after the destruction of the original site- will have an extremely important role to play in aerodynamics and thermal management. The KHK’s overall hull design will be derived from extant hypersonic waverider designs, something Kismayo has a great deal of experience with from the [Hadaba Ibis](https://old.reddit.com/r/worldpowers/comment

BamBOO!

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

I use both old and new cameras, constantly switching. I recently asked myself, if I had to choose only one SLR, would it be a 60s mechanical beauty, or a sleek 90s technological wonder?

Here is how that thought experiment went:

Exposure:

Obviously the 60s SLR is better. With enough time and practice, manual mode with a basic through-the-lens meter will result in a perfect meld of human and machine. Point, adjust, shoot. What if you want a certain shutter speed? Grab the aperture ring. What if you want aperture priority? Grab the shutter knob. Exposure compensation becomes a matter of instinct, you never miss a moment because you had to pull the camera away from your eye to fiddle with settings. You never miss exposure because you forgot to undo that setting later. Your intentions transfer directly to the camera in a way that can never be fully handed off to whizz-bang matrix metering. A digital VF meter, no matter how sophisticated, doesn't know what you're taking a picture of, it has no sense of style, and it can't tell asphalt from snow. The needle meter is replaced with esoteric blinking lights, and by the time you figure out what they mean, you missed the shot. About the only thing it's good for is making everything gray and creating extra work in post. And when exposure really matters, when you're compensating for filters and tubes with expired Velvia--when the chips are really down--you're using an external meter anyway, all those other exposure modes are just getting in the way. Quit wasting time with proto-digital gizmos and learn to take pictures.

Obviously the 90s SLR is better. Old dinosaur through-the-lens meters are so unreliable and misleading that whole hordes of people think Portra 400 needs 2 stops of overexposure to work. As long as you make a reasonable investment, (which, by the way, is a lot less money than an over-hyped mechanical antique will cost) you can get a camera which will always give you a usable exposure on negative film. All this mumbo-jumbo about melding human and machine-- you know what your brain power should be devoted to? The picture you're taking. Don't waste your potential doing things that computers can do. And if you can't stop yourself from being masochistic, manual mode is always waiting for you. And as long as you spent more than the cost of lunch at Wendy's, using it is going to be seamless. But I promise you, once you actually have it in your hands, you will put it in program mode, become familiar with
