<mlbaker> bofh: so there's this seminar room adjacent to an office i share w/ several other grad students
<mlbaker> the two rooms are located in a hallway which is accessible by key, only to us
<mlbaker> nobody else ever accesses the hallway; no security staff, no janitors, nothing
<mlbaker> except maybe a math prof if they wanted to use this seminar room for a very small topics course
<mlbaker> but there are no such courses in the summer months, which means the seminar room is effectively never used
<mlbaker> needless to say i'm amusing myself w/ the idea of erdosing it up in here with a sleeping bag and saving 4 months rent per year
<mlbaker> it's only like marginally too impractical, rofl

<ferram4> It appears to have very little range
<ferram4> Based on how much fuel you could fit in there
<SnoopJeDi> reminds me of the irl solar gliders for some reason
<egg|zzz|egg> ferram4: it's been flying for a bit already, you need to add the downrange distance to the FAR number
<UmbralRaptor> I mean, I think this averages out to $8.50 / hour? https://photos.app.goo.gl/K2a5RsRQEXMJDSjy8
<egg|zzz|egg> but yes, it could probably have more of it
<SnoopJeDi> UmbralRaptor, grats on the offer, at any rate!

<egg|zzz|egg> ferram4: also I keep having to taxi off the runway to take off without being bothered by the silly runway bumps

<egg|zzz|egg> just north of Qinghai lake
<APlayer> egg|zzz|egg: Perhaps RADAR = RAnDom Altitude Readout?
<egg|zzz|egg> actually I'm pretty sure I'll run out of fuel over the lake
<egg|zzz|egg> maybe I can ditch there :-p

<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: the lake is apparently immediately surrounded by ~8 km mountains in RSS :-p

<egg|zzz|egg> yes that's an 8 km slope to sea level
<ferram4> hmm
<ferram4> okay then
<ferram4> seems legit
<egg|zzz|egg> ferram4: bofh: one problem might be that all water in RSS is at sea level
<egg|zzz|egg> rather than at 3260 m like the actual lake
<egg|zzz|egg> another problem is that somehow the mountains here reach 10 km in RSS :-p

<SnoopJeDi> hm, I should read that sometime, since I like Antarctic horror and Poe.
