Zeta's as far as it's ever gone AFAIK
<raptop>
So 2020 is now tied with 2005?
<SnoopJ>
I believe so yes
<raptop>
ah, apparently zeta brings this year to 27, but 2005 must have had an extra normal name since it hit 28
<SnoopJ>
ooh
<SnoopJ>
that vaguely rings a bell
<egg|laptop|egg>
aaaaa netflix sucks at I18N
<egg|laptop|egg>
ah no it merely sucks at discoverability
<egg|laptop|egg>
(forgot to set en in the languages I understand, and looking for bakemonogatari pretends that bakemonogatari does not exist and shows a page of other anime)
<egg|laptop|egg>
OK no it *is* dumber than that
<egg|laptop|egg>
I only get bakemonogatari if my UI language is English
<egg|laptop|egg>
aaaaaaaaaa
<egg|laptop|egg>
.... and then by default, having told it that I speak fr and en, it gives me subtitles in de
<SnoopJ>
...region based on language?!
<egg|laptop|egg>
...
<egg|laptop|egg>
it ONLY has subtitles in de
<egg|laptop|egg>
so it is ja subtitled de, available only if you set your UI to en

<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
I can understand the subtitles but barely as fast as they go and definitely not fast enough to also watch the actual anime
<egg|laptop|egg>
....
<egg|laptop|egg>
does that mean that I should watch this to improve my german
<egg|laptop|egg>
there seems to be a galaxybrain meme waiting to be made here
<raptop>
small brain: wait until you're at ANBO and watch with fr subtitles
<raptop>
large brain: contact their help services
<raptop>
wait, those should probably be swapped

what else would they be in, bovine?

I wonder whether there are studies of jet damping in liquid-fuel engines
e_14159_ has quit [Ping timeout: 378 seconds]
<egg|laptop|egg>
An interesting exchange ensued between Katz, Papis, and Warner and Snyder. The first two authors call attention to the importance of the orifices […] Warner and Snyder admit that their (i.e., Thomson’s) model would indeed be more representative of liquid-propellant motors where the propellant is guided in pipes
<egg|laptop|egg>
is the only thing I can find (and the discussion referenced by that)
<egg|laptop|egg>
but that’s an aside in « Jet-Damping and Misalignment Effects During Solid-Rocket-Motor Burn » which proceeds to talk about SRMs
<egg|laptop|egg>
WeylandsWings: raptop: smkz: are spin-stabilized liquid-fueled stages a thing
<WeylandsWings>
not afaik
<egg|laptop|egg>
oh right this would pose ullage issues
<WeylandsWings>
the sping would deprive fuel from the drains
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
and so if you don’t spin-stab you need some sort of active guidance, and at that point you don’t give a damn about jet damping, there isn’t much angular momentum in the fuel and whatever torque may or may not be induced is well within the noise
<WeylandsWings>
and you could mitigate with drains in the walls/ baffles , but that adds weight and complexity. plus you could ingest ullage gas into the lines
<egg|laptop|egg>
(also spinning up and down a tank with baffles tends to be hard on the baffles, famously)
<WeylandsWings>
plus generally speaking if you are going the LFE route you can reasonably easy do TVC
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
blarg I can’t find the falcon 9 whose spin broke the baffles whose bits blew up the engine
<egg|laptop|egg>
that was a thing, right ?
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah the CASSIOPE launch
<egg|laptop|egg>
> However, the stage started to spin during its return, causing the fuel to centrifuge. According to Mr. Mueller, the baffles in the tanks were not designed for those stresses, causing debris to get into the engines, resulting in them shutting down prematurely. The stage was lost when it impacted the Pacific Ocean.
