    Ahoy o7

    Another Canadian! Welcome to Test. You're from somewhere near my favorite place on earth (which would be Cowachin Bay)

    Am I doing this right?

    Well, (and not the same well the old man fell into), welcome to the Squadron Nick.

    Anybody interested in dogfight training?

    Go ahead and add me to your discord. I could use some refreshers and feedback. I'm available occasionally in the day, most evenings (Central time US) and all weekend usually. Also, I've been giving a lot of thought to how to approach things like formations and multi-crew operations, since...

    Squadron patch 1960's style

    It's just something I did with a drawing program, instead of paper, so yeah this just a teaser, but I do know someone who has a machine to make real patches. I can ask, but their houses flooded during Harvey, so I'm not sure if everything survived.

    Squadron patch 1960's style

    I had some free time today, in between figuring out how to model parts of a dynamically defined form - so I began doodling and came up with an idea. This is a digital re-construction of the general appearance of a US Air Force style Squadron shoulder Patch, made from combining elements of some...

    Now just need some beer.....

    ... just make sure you wash your hands after. Side: my oldest daughter (she's 20) saw this thread and said, "Tell him that lots of people think meat is better if it's not dry rubbed to quite that extent"

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    I'm only 29. I just happen to also have 29 years experience at being 29.

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Yes, it sure is, data transfer rate wise anyway. It actualy becomes difficult to distinguish between stray microwave and digital TV transmissions, and the signal from on the bus at the speeds they're currently running. They have a couple of ways of increasing the speed a bit more but you want...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Young whippersnappers indeed. We used to call these "portables" in the industry at the time, though users quickly began calling them "luggables". I remember this one, the Panasonic was supposed to compete with the Compaq luggable. I remember it was cheaper, 2500 or so, as opposed to 2900 for...

    Now just need some beer.....

    This is something to try when you BBQ pork again. People will look at you like you have 3 heads until they taste it. Honey Bourbon Peaches Hot BBQ grill. You can cook the pork first, but then let the heat rise to 450 after you remove it. Southern US variation: 1/4 cup of bourbon (We use...

    Citizencon 2017 - Pros & Cons

    I voted indifferent, but it's because I alternated between drunken joy, and seen better in terms of a conference. There were some jaw dropper moments, but there were also some serious eye roller moments for me. The biggest thing they said during the conference for me, wasn't the Pioneer...

    TEST 1st Consolidated Outland Pioneer Confirmed

    The more I think about the pioneer, the more I think that this really is a game changer, in that it brings a lot of the non-military game play into focus. Here you have a massive ship, that has limited ability to protect itself. Most of the capital ships actually, especially the slow...

    TEST 1st Consolidated Outland Pioneer Confirmed

    lol @EmpireRuled . Not too shabby of a proclamation though, is it? I lost count of how many pioneers we have in total. Now aside from waiting "patiently" for 3.0 and so on, we also have to wait for the time we will be finally able to use those capital ship PNG image in our hangers. I think...

    Arduino button boxes

    Hah! This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to find out how it works and looks! II'll tell you how I got started with Arduino. This happened several years ago. I had just gotten through day surgery... and had just woken up. My wife drove me home, I was so drugged up. All I remember is...
