    Follow that comet!

    Evidence of water on Mars? Pffft. Photos of Pluto's moon Kerberos? Yawn. The headline says it all: Comet Lovejoy pretty much spews sugar and booze, study finds From the article: "Comet Lovejoy, it turns out, is quite aptly named: The ball of ice and dust, which releases the equivalent of...

    Realistic SC paper maps for Captains/Pilots

    Not sure if you had them in mind, but this is verrrry reminiscent of IFR approach plates! As such, these shouldn't be made into large blueprints, but small sheets that can be clipped into a kneeboard (if you're looking for an authentic use case)...

    New Phone

    To be honest, you hate it for a while, but then you just kinda submit. You never really like it, but you manage to get on with your life. That's the abusive relationship you enter when you move to a phone without a physical keyboard. I've been a hardware keyboard fan for ages - had a T-Mobile...

    Org funded Endeavor?

    We don't need one. We need at least two. The fact that the ship will act as a respawn point (Devil Doge was right on the money) means that we'll want a dedicated medical Endeavor parked near any expected engagement. And I haven't even finished reading the RSI article to see what other modules...

    TEST is a massive threat to all the other orgs!

    Um, are you sure you have the right 'TEST'? That sure doesn't sound like us.... Hung boat? Yes, I know exactly what you mean - you have a small dinghy.

    TEST is a massive threat to all the other orgs!

    So our previous 'gunboat diplomacy' is now 'hugboat diplomacy'?

    IM DRUMK!!!!!!!!!!

    It is a very sad day when a discussion in TEST on the subject of inebriation is considered "off topic". IS SRS BZNS, EGRIZ

    The long, proud history of TEST

    Fellow TESTies, until recently I had been under the impression that our heritage was a much more recent occurence, such as this fine example (please note the POST-TEST placard, indicating the standard condition expected of a vehicle placed into our care): I was shocked and delighted to find...

    Shoestring Pilot

    When you said 'Pentium', I guessed you were making a joke about having only the original 1993 Pentium as a CPU (hence my questions regarding whether you had a 60MHz or a 66MHz CPU, which were the original release versions). The FDIV bug was based on an error in a lookup table on the original...

    Shoestring Pilot

    Hells yeah! Do you have the 60MHz or the 66MHz proc? I hear there's this FDIV bug on them, though - might cause issues.

    Urgent need for Old (but still good) parts

    I've got a not-quite-as-loud Quadro 3700 kicking around as well if that might be of use. I may be able to donate a brand-new Z97 mobo, too. I'd send spare machine tools, but shipping would be more than they're worth...

    Urgent need for Old (but still good) parts

    Not necessarily - I've had SolidWorks act squirrely when I run it on a non-Quadro GPU. What CAD software will you be using?

    Email from TEST caught in spam filter

    This is disturbing news and is not at all what was anticipated - in TEST fashion, I fully expected said hamsters to be promoted to management positions with a generous sunflower seed bonus. Just now, I decided to report this [CONCERN] via the normal channels, but the suggestion box located in...

    Don't fix it! It can do double duty for TEST secret santa!

    Building this as a wedding present for a friend

    Ah okay, Duracoat is good to go, then. I didn't realize they had a clear version - I'll have to give it a try. What kind of lower did you use? Looks billet, given the integral guard. Also, the bare aluminum and stainless is begging for one of these...

    Building this as a wedding present for a friend

    I'd worry about how the lower will look after a while - I don't think I'd trust just a matte clear finish. You can anodize it and not dye it, and it will look a lot better after use than just a clear rattlecan finish.

    Help test Discord voip chat

    Given that TEST is basically the SEAL Team Six of idiots, declaring an app 'fairly idiot proof' sets quite a high bar, indeed.

    Movie Night Suggestions

    MegaForce really needs to be on the list. How can you not love this? And as long as the list is getting heavy with Cage, how about 'The Rock' and 'Firebirds'.
