Hmm. Did you place it with a scientist?

https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Go-ob_ED_Monitor

There's also a proximity thing with the solar panels and control station. That left monitor should be good, but maybe the right one is too far away?

I've never had parts duplicate, but it wouldn't surprise me if you stumbled on some specific bug where that occurs.

 

Am I an idiot or is theming completely broken? I cannot set or modify any themes besides enabling/disabling the Material You theme.

I had created a custom theme prior to the 0.2.1 version and had been using it since then. I just went in to try to modify the theme and cannot save any changes. I modify specific colors and click the checkmark in the upper right and the changes are not saved, as when going back in to edit the theme, the colors are back to what they were prior to me trying to do the edits.

Also, I cannot change to any other theme besides material you. Where are you supposed to be able to actually select the theme for light, dark, and amoled? The only way I can figure out how you might change the theme is clicking the + beside the theme in the manage theme menu and clicking on set to X theme. This then doesn't do anything.

I enabled the material you theme and then clicked apply, and then under customization there is listed light theme, dark theme, and amoled theme with material you listed below. But I can't modify these or change to different themes after disabling material you. I can go delete material you themes in the manage themes and these go away under the customization menu, and now the theme is back to the default indigo dark, and there doesn't seem to be anyway to change the theme except to the material you theme.

I also get occasional crashes when in "edit theme" and trying to flip the set as X theme.

I teach my physics undergraduates the basics of latex for writing. They usually figure it out. It's basically like writing some code. The biggest pain are graphs. And like a lot of code these days, chatgpt can help a lot.

If you just need to write basic text formatted using apa, you could find or create a template and give it to your students. Then they won't even need to think about the formatting cause the template will deal with it all correctly.

Oh, i should add, in that screenshot, most of that code creates the fornatting. Once that is set, your actual content with words and paragraphs looks mostly like text.

Start with a minimal preamble and start testing it out.

I bought a used worm drive skilsaw with the flip lever. It can be tough to adjust but its held up since i bought it many years ago.

Yeah somehow I had never even heard this band. I'm checking out all their other releases too!

Well I am confused. You're under 600 m/s which should be safe. I literally tried it last night and deployed fine at 700 m/s. Maybe just try to deploy the drogues anyway when you get under 700 m/s and see what happens? Did you change any of the parameters of the drogues? I don't remember what the defaults are.

[–] rescue_toaster@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Are you sure those are drogue chutes? Perhaps they need to be staged separately. I just cheated a similar vessel into orbit and had no issues on re-entry to 45k periapsis. They turned yellow at about 700 m/s and I pressed spacebar to deploy. They were staged separately and before my main chutes.

I'm a college professor. I'm very aware of textbook prices. Most students don't read the textbook anyway, even if its something you want them to read everyday.

For intro classes, I use openstax, which are available free online. For upper-level classes, I try to pick non major publishers, ie not pearson or cengage, with much more reasonably priced books.

My version of this meme would be the prof begging the students to actually read the book he/she picked out that is free or cheap so that they are prepared for class and the students rolling their eyes and instead just going to chatgpt or chegg...

Are you actually deploying them via staging? They should be staged before your main chutes. You still need to press spacebar for them to deploy.

If the icon is red, you are going too fast and they will simply rip off when you press spacebar. But from your scenario, i would guess you lose enough speed for the icon to turn yellow and then grey, when it is completely safe to deploy.

I guess I'm confused as to what's going wrong then. I assumed you were blowing up due to heat. Are you going too fast for the drogue chutes? Do they rip off when you deploy? I don't think I've ever had a problem with not slowing down enough to deploy drogues.

When you come in, you do want to be retrograde. If I remember correctly, with that vessel, it will come in a bit sideways, heating up the crew capsules, but still should be okay.

Oh, I also switched to fossify's camera app at the same time since google's camera didn't respect fossify as my default gallery.

[–] rescue_toaster@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (10 children)

Strange. I've landed ships almost identical to that. You aren't forgetting a heat shield, are you? Maybe try a higher periapsis, like 45k-50k?

[–] rescue_toaster@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I recently switched to fossify's gallery app. So far, so good. Seems to do what i need.

So our neighbor's cat has been visiting us for a while, so I decided to build this ramp so that she could more easily get into and out of our yard. I'm not much of a woodworker, but was happy with how this turned out.

It's made almost entirely from cedar fence posts. Nearly 18 feet long (3 fence posts end to end with the dog ear tip cut off). Ripped cedar planks into 3 for a frame/support to prevent flexing. Posts are pine 2x4, and go 18 inches into the ground, which was the majority of the effort, since our ground is like cement...

 

How does one change the terminal that Gnome Files uses when opening a directory in terminal using "Open in Terminal"? I'm trying to change the default to foot.

All my searching has led to

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

  Selection    Path                             Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        auto mode
* 1            /usr/bin/foot                     20        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/footclient               10        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        manual mode
  4            /usr/bin/koi8rxterm               20        manual mode
  5            /usr/bin/lxterm                   30        manual mode
  6            /usr/bin/uxterm                   20        manual mode
  7            /usr/bin/xterm                    20        manual mode

which I can select foot. But Gnome Files does not seem to respect this.

I've also tried directly editing

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec foot

where the default exec option is x-terminal-emulator. This also does not work.

 

New debian user here. I'm using sway and have a script in my waybar config to look for upgrades and indicate if any are available. However, it typically doesn't find anything because I first need to run a sudo apt update first.

I don't really want to figure out someway to do a sudo through this script and was curious how gnome finds updates without me needing to enter a password.

It looks like I can use unattended upgrades to do the apt update.

https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

though I don't want it to do upgrades until I do a sudo apt upgrade after being notified of upgrades. I created a 02periodic file in /etc/apt/apt.config.d as indicated, but I only included the lines

APT::Periodic::Enable "1";

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

Will this run an apt update every day for me? Is there any issue I'm unaware of in doing this? Thanks for any help!
