i still don't know what in the world is supposed to be happening here

why isn't the exit of the HPC aligned with the inlet of the diffuser? is that a seventh row of airfoils the wrong way around that looks like it's mounted on the HP rotor, sitting *in the throat* of the diffuser?

also, it totally blows out some of the big pharma conspiracies of them hoarding secret cures or they just want to make money off of obesity complications.

turns out, we really just hadn't found the right medicine yet, and now that we have, were cracking them out.

i would like to rescind this after seeing the "design" of the Boom Symphony

that's not an engine, it's a fucking cartoon

there is NO WAY the engineers know their seal clearances, cooling flow budgets, back-pressure margins, bore-to-hub disk temperature gradients, etc, not even at steady-state

if you're going to rip off a gas turbine design, start here:

ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation...

and since this is still bugging me, WHERE IS THEIR FUCKING CDP SEAL, that's an entire other very important disk on the HP rotor that just... *doesn't exist*

i've been staring at their godawful cross section for too long, and i don't think there's any way it can possibly be even a major simplification of a real design

even if they hid all the rotating seals for the render, i should still be able to see where they'd *go*, but i can't

this definitely isn't *current* GE

maybe it's leveraged from the J85 they used for the XB-1?

on a scale where 1 is the diagram in a thermo textbook, 7 is the NASA E^3 project in the 70s that was developed into the GE90, and 10 is GE's current tech, this is a 4

Lord knows it's not the white voters keeping this place running

looking prettier is good though

but my opinion is irrelevant because most of what i currently work with is in Perl, Bash, or Tcl, so from my frame of reference, Perl looks *good*

i don't comment on them often, but i don't give a single fuck about my likes

This is downstream of a bigger issue, in that class conflict turned out to be really easy to solve without overthrowing capitalism, compared to racial/ethnic conflicts, and a non-trivial part of the left is mad that the solution didn't involve their personal ideology winning.

i see what you did there 👀

i feel this, hard

i know Perl, i know R, i know Fortran well enough, i lack any motivation to learn Python

it wasn't a big deal, i had spare keys handy

this happened to me too!

the teeth on one side completely wore out somehow

and that was probably eight years ago at this point

i'm going to keep my 04 Outback wagon on the road until it rusts literally in half

i don't care that i'm lucky to get 25 mpg, i love that fucking car too much to replace it until i absolutely have to

and the current head gaskets only have like 30k miles on them 😊

we actually all yearn for the 1998 subaru Forester and 2004 subaru legacy outback wagon, as evidence by all the lesbians and weird millionaires from Jackson Hole who spend inordinate sums keeping them on the road

we salute their efforts

I knew of the synthesizer company Moog Music and the control system company Moog Inc (defense, industrial, and medical divisions per www.moog.com/markets.html) which aren't related to each other except that their founders were cousins

There's also a steering/suspension company that is unrelated

This is unironically how the Big Three have dealt with CAFE standards: marketing the ability to haul an apartment building's worth of shit as a necessary condition for purchasing a vehicle.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
