*vibrating rabidly*

Dudes. DUDES. I’m nearing the final scene in the comic. I’m so freakin close.

Mapped out the comics up to page 85, and it looks like it’ll be over 100 pages once I’m finished. And THEN I’ll be done with the FIRST comic.

[vanosslirious]

Jericho: Why don't we go around and we all say one nice thing about each other? Eli, let's start with you...

Eli: ...You guys have cool names.

Jericho: Alright, thank you, SMii7y?

SMii7y: You live in LA, I think that's pretty cool, but I also hope you don't die when the San Andreas fault line fucking s...y'know? Like, I hope you pull out, you know what I mean.

Jericho: Alright, thank you.

SMii7y: You're also one of the hottest dudes I know. *laughs*

Jericho: *laughs* Okay. Alright.

I am in pain - Alex out in Q1

[chrismcshell]

thinking of giving my Gamer PC some upgrades n some TLC :) bigger ssd + more ram + a proper cleaning (i cleaned it recently but didn’t have compressed air to get the dust out of every little crevice) + fresh thermal paste..... maybe a new keyboard too? got both my bday and christmas coming up, so :3c getting weirdly excited about this lol

[musiquesduciel]

The entirety of last month was spent packing, researching new purchases for our new home and moving out. A special goodbye to this condominium and neighbourhood that I made my own. Moving on to better things!

[bowithoutadaemon]

either ur the 2nd person named bo atw37c3 or i can predict ur hair color lel

Well since I am not there (posting about cooking at home while watching the stream could have been a hint for that lol) there's gotta be another Bo.

If you feel like it you can tell the other Bo that Bo says they have a cool name. And judging by your comment they probably have a really cool hair color too.

But like don't make it weird or uncomfortable for Bo. That just wouldn't be very nice of you.

Front Bumper

Made to fit the BMW M3/M4 G8X from 2020-Present, this newly released carbon fiber front bumper will maximize the cooling performance, increase airflow to the radiators all the while minimizing weight and increasing front end down force. Since this bumper is manufactured using carbon fiber it is lightweight, durable, strong, is resistant to heat and corrosion, all while providing an aggressive, sporty and high-end visual aesthetic.

Front Grille Mesh

You need front grille mesh for your ride’s protection and the facilitation of seamless air flow to the radiator. This upgrade will protect your intercooler, radiator, and engine bay from road rocks, debris, and etc. Apart from adding to the sporty look to your ride, this high-quality upgrade is also very durable as it is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, resist corrosion, and maintain its appearance over time.

If you would like more front grille mesh options to choose from CLICK HERE to see the option in our shop

Front Spoiler

If you would like to improve your car’s aerodynamics, this is the upgrade to go for. Front spoiler do control the air in front of the vehicle. This can be to improve the drag coefficient of the body of the vehicle at speed or to generate down force. On top of that, this carbon fiber front spoiler is sleek and it adds a sporty appearance, which will enhance the overall look of the vehicle.

Side Skirts

With this side skirt, Vorsteiner aimed at providing protection and increasing aerodynamic performance of your 2021+ BMW M3 G80 and BMW M4 G82. Vorsteiner knows how to manufacture the highest quality parts for the most luxurious cars out there, and this program is a proof of that, from the materials’ stiffness, aerospace strength & durability to the products’ visual appearance

Hood

Usually aftermarket hood upgrades allow more airflow for your engine, which in turn increases the performance significantly. But Vorsteiner’s carbon fiber takes that to the next level, by not only manufacturing extremely durable high-performance parts but also parts that are guaranteed to maximize the cooling performance, improving airflow dynamics since it contains 4 vent outlets that dissipate heat from the forced induction engine bay and keep the turbos running cool.

Aero Wing Blade w/ Aluminum Uprights

Vorsteiner’s carbon fiber aero wing blade is exactly what the aftermarket upgrade you need for your ride. This aero wing will give your luxury ride the additional down force it desperately needs. Matter of fact, due to the construction material used you can expect it to be durable, high-performing, strong and visually appealing

Rear Diffuser

Vorsteiner designed this rear diffuser  with aerodynamics and aesthetics in mind. This rear diffuser will create down force on the rear axle, which will greatly enhance traction, stability, and overall handling, especially at high speeds. Also due to it’s sleek and aggressive design, this rear diffuser will add a sporty touch to the rear of the vehicle.

If you have any questions or if you need new aero kit for your 2021+ BMW M3 G80 and BMW M4 G82, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach us by phone at 1-480-966-3040 or via email at sales@vividracing.com.

What We Learned from Flying a Helicopter on Mars

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history – not only as the first aircraft to perform powered, controlled flight on another world – but also for exceeding expectations, pushing the limits, and setting the stage for future NASA aerial exploration of other worlds.

Built as a technology demonstration designed to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, Ingenuity performed flight operations from the Martian surface for almost three years. The helicopter ended its mission on Jan. 25, 2024, after sustaining damage to its rotor blades during its 72nd flight.

So, what did we learn from this small but mighty helicopter?

We can fly rotorcraft in the thin atmosphere of other planets.

Ingenuity proved that powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds when it took to the Martian skies for the first time on April 19, 2021.

Flying on planets like Mars is no easy feat: The Red Planet has a significantly lower gravity – one-third that of Earth’s – and an extremely thin atmosphere, with only 1% the pressure at the surface compared to our planet. This means there are relatively few air molecules with which Ingenuity’s two 4-foot-wide (1.2-meter-wide) rotor blades can interact to achieve flight.

Ingenuity performed several flights dedicated to understanding key aerodynamic effects and how they interact with the structure and control system of the helicopter, providing us with a treasure-trove of data on how aircraft fly in the Martian atmosphere.

Now, we can use this knowledge to directly improve performance and reduce risk on future planetary aerial vehicles.

Creative solutions and “ingenuity” kept the helicopter flying longer than expected.

Over an extended mission that lasted for almost 1,000 Martian days (more than 33 times longer than originally planned), Ingenuity was upgraded with the ability to autonomously choose landing sites in treacherous terrain, dealt with a dead sensor, dusted itself off after dust storms, operated from 48 different airfields, performed three emergency landings, and survived a frigid Martian winter.

Fun fact: To keep costs low, the helicopter contained many off-the-shelf-commercial parts from the smartphone industry - parts that had never been tested in deep space. Those parts also surpassed expectations, proving durable throughout Ingenuity’s extended mission, and can inform future budget-conscious hardware solutions.

There is value in adding an aerial dimension to interplanetary surface missions.

Ingenuity traveled to Mars on the belly of the Perseverance rover, which served as the communications relay for Ingenuity and, therefore, was its constant companion. The helicopter also proved itself a helpful scout to the rover.

After its initial five flights in 2021, Ingenuity transitioned to an “operations demonstration,” serving as Perseverance’s eyes in the sky as it scouted science targets, potential rover routes, and inaccessible features, while also capturing stereo images for digital elevation maps.

Airborne assets like Ingenuity unlock a new dimension of exploration on Mars that we did not yet have – providing more pixels per meter of resolution for imaging than an orbiter and exploring locations a rover cannot reach.

Tech demos can pay off big time.

Ingenuity was flown as a technology demonstration payload on the Mars 2020 mission, and was a high risk, high reward, low-cost endeavor that paid off big. The data collected by the helicopter will be analyzed for years to come and will benefit future Mars and other planetary missions.

Just as the Sojourner rover led to the MER-class (Spirit and Opportunity) rovers, and the MSL-class (Curiosity and Perseverance) rovers, the team believes Ingenuity’s success will lead to future fleets of aircraft at Mars.

In general, NASA’s Technology Demonstration Missions test and advance new technologies, and then transition those capabilities to NASA missions, industry, and other government agencies. Chosen technologies are thoroughly ground- and flight-tested in relevant operating environments — reducing risks to future flight missions, gaining operational heritage and continuing NASA’s long history as a technological leader.

You can fall in love with robots on another planet.

Following in the tracks of beloved Martian rovers, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter built up a worldwide fanbase. The Ingenuity team and public awaited every single flight with anticipation, awe, humor, and hope.

the w13 made me love the w12 KYS MERC

[southislandwren]

got super personal in my religion final bc thats the nature of the beast. but the feedback from my prof was so sweet, she was like 'the methodists believe 100% you get reuinited with your pets when you die' so brb gonna convert to Methodism i guess
