    lady tabernash: I have something very similar in all my drains, nice to know they have more purposes.

    They can be used as strainers too.

    muninsfire: So, over the weekend, I inadvertently ran across a solution to a problem I was having.

    Building this flame triode thing had me up against a wall for a while trying to figure out how to wind a grid that would stand up to an alcohol flame and also carry (potentially) high voltage.

    Then I found this:


    Yo! PieBoy. I found this:



    Next time I want a key lime pie, it will be that one.

    and I have several strainers for their intended purposes, I don't need nor want to improvise.

    It was too funny. The clerk asked me if I got the mini marshmallows for hot cocoa. I showed her the chips and said one word. "Haystacks." She immediately brightened, and said "I remember those! Now I have to google that recipe and make some." It's kinda cool how some treats are strictly handmade, and cannot be bought. They also can bring back good memories.

    I heard in bV you sent out Sweet Baby Ray's sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. Well, I told them I add a few drops of Stubb's liquid smoke and a pinch or so of crushed red pepper flakes. I think they took note.

    I kinda like it the way it is. Tab's on the other hand, might like the smoky heat.

    There were too many choices for flavors (smoke was one) so I opted for the 'original', then zane could take it from there.

    I found it was on sale last week, so I picked up a bottle. I do like it. I just can't leave well enough alone. I have other BBQ sauces that are not as impressive. Good choice!

    How are the system requirements?

    /kind of reminds me of that nasa orbiter program, except in that you could use a joystick to pilot a shuttle and if you set the fuel to unlimited, your shuttle never leaves the atmosphere and the huge orange tank is never jettisoned but the solid boosters are so you crash back to earth quite heavily.
    //unless you used their glider orbiter thing with unlimited fuel, then you might make it, I'd always start out at the ISS and try for a moonshot with mostly manual guessing. I never did slow down enough or correctly enough, I'd always bounce off the surface of the moon and end up somewhere between saturn and pluto....

    novel ist nightmare: I'd always bounce off the surface of the moon and end up somewhere between saturn and pluto....

    I think that was an issue with the joystick though, it was damn near impossible to zero your spin, and if I set my joysticks deadzone too large the movements would be too big to really do anything right, and I didn't want to leave the thing running for days on end just because I couldn't raise the time step without spinning out of control... I spent many a nights hovering between 100,000 and 50,000 km from the moons surface, never finding the proper finesse... At least it included a view with an orbital calculator though, so you could know if you were at least broadly in the proper range of velocity.

    dizzysaurus: Most modern systems will do just fine

    Modern is such a relative word, this is what I was looking for:

    2.0Ghz Dual Core CPU or higher (preferably higher)
    4GB RAM
    512MB Video Card, Shader Model 3.0
    1GB Free HD space
    Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8
    An Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher


    I highlighted my issues, I'd play it if you could confirm that SM3.0 isn't a requirement for a systems video card abilities. Plus the whole double my current total ram size, along with the 512mb of video memory, which I only have 128mb, while also including my 2009 mhz cpu.

    Seems intriguing though, I may have a go and try to do low system-intensity designs, it'd look like the russians space faring tech....
