@MarcusHouse in the Test Like You Fly video a worker was torquing up a fitting on a raptor. Where I work we hydraulically tension the studbolts on critical flange joints so there’s no variability due to friction, creep etc. I wonder how raptor joints are managed via design

@MarcusHouse The upper stages have looked terrible on the way down - to get it to a point where it can be re-used again??? I am left wondering whether a few mm or steel can be made to be robust enough, it looks too far off at this stage. Would be great to have insight into their sims

@SciGuySpace I’m on a ship in the North Sea with 130 people on board which has starlink installed - it’s very good, we can all stream, video call home etc

@geerlingguy You briefly mentioned a Frigate / TPU CCTV system in one of your studio vids. I'd be keen to know if your still considering it 🙂

@DaltonJoanne79 I slowly developed sensitivity with Dexcom sensor to the point it was unbearable. Been wearing libre for years not with not such issue

@EricaProud If you’re still awake / compus mentos - dextrose tablets really are very fast and don’t require you to mix & inject. Glucagon made me vomit when my parents administered back in the 80’s & 90’s, fortunately not needed since

@DaltonJoanne79 I became sensitive to Dexcom adhesive over the several years I used them. I moved to libre and that adhesive has been good, no reaction

@jimalkhalili It’s not a million miles off the mark. How many essentially repeat natural history ‘documentaries’ do we need BBC to commission under the false premise of ‘new’ footage from the latest mega expensive cameras… There’s so much more value in your content

@FelixSchlang @SpaceIntel101 @Erdayastronaut @cnunezimages @InfographicTony @Patreon I use YouTube on my TV and sub updates appear consistently at the top of the recommended list. X videos just form one of the umpteen x-weets, so I don’t yet consume video through X. Maybe if X had a video specific tab…

@MarcusHouse @elonmusk It doesn’t need to be that high pressure if the engine exhaust is near atmospheric (max velocity)?

@AndreRousseau I went round the deserts of the south west for 3 weeks with my insulin packed in a rucksack - it got hot-hot - it was fine! I think the change in food and routine were more impactful

@geerlingguy I saw that & it made me laugh. I noticed you are a subscriber - I like ars - but I binned my subscription last year as I felt the amount of serious reporting dropped in favour of marketing and pseudo-marketing articles

@photojoseph If it’s a gas boiler, then it looks like either a vent or filling valve to bring the internal pressure into the required level on the pressure gauge

@FelixSchlang @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @TeamYouTube I watch my YouTube on my TV - that creates a challenge for creators like yourself to have me click a link to alternative payment or consumption. Could you add QR codes to allow me to pay a small amount directly?
