AWOL

Question is, do I paint it or leave as is? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

This was waiting at the post office for me... -------- Only just fits in the boot of my car... ------ All I need now is the armour to go in it... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yupp that's my plan, just need to wait 4 more weeks for my bucket to arrive lol... Seems to be a popular little unit... Nice to hear some positive feedback for it thanks... The one thing I did notice when I tested it was if you tap it it is a very loud bang so I think when I mount it in my bucket I'll put a thin layer of sponge around the mics and seat them in holes under the ears, hopefully this will cushion them and reduce any excessive noise if the bucket is touched...

---------- Was waiting for me when I got home today, thank you... Took less than 2 weeks from US to UK... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

It has a volume control and an off switch, it'll be just fine lol... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Just make sure you solder all 3 pins on each mic, I didn't do the flat ones at 1st and got terrible buzzing noises... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

As I'm waiting (patiently/impatiently) for my armour and my icomm I figured I may as well build something to pass the time so I bought this lot, to start with... --------- Tonight I made a start and built this, took about an hour... ------- A stereo hearing system, it's pretty loud for a cheap (£11) kit, and I'm sure it'll do just fine when put in my bucket... I will be moving the mics onto wires when I know what length I need them so do now the mics are in the standard place... Next will be my main amp, probably tomorrow... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Lol then someone somewhere is being ripped off...I regularly get stuff from China and have never paid more than £5 postage (less than $7.50) for anything and that was for a 2kg double din touch screen car stereo... I think I'll pass... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

As these will be produced in the US the postage almost doubles the price for us in the UK and elsewhere... Would it not be possible for the UKG to get them made over here to cut the postage costs dramatically? if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I'm so glad there were no camera phones in the early 80s... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

At last, somebody else who gets the cannot travel quicker unassisted point...The rest fried my brain a little with your photons and mass, although I do remember vaguely something about not only the mass increasing as the speed of light is reached but also the size, at reaching the speed of light the object would increase to fill the universe? Something like that anyway... but like Erm what? Some of these theories ate a little way out there... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Well I was a teenager in the early 80s so maybe it just stuck with me, I don't have the mad beard or hair though and I don't wear tank tops or cardigans... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I've just bought an ex military hardigg case, it's completely air tight and well big enough (I hope) I'll need to add wheels and an extendable handle (which will stop it being air tight but hey ho) It also fits in the boot of my car which is a bonus... ----------- if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Yeah but if the recruitment officer had said "that's great you're just the right height" it wouldn't have had the same comedic effect lol... I was lucky enough at the age of 16 to sit in the cockpit of a spitfire and was told by its pilot I was the perfect size for it, still to this day one of my treasured memories... B.T.W 5' 7 1/2" if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Jealous!!! I'll get my bbb the end of April... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

That depends on the distance between, the speed of the train you're on gives the bullet an initial boost but it would decrease rapidly after a short (not exactly sure how far) distance and then rapidly drop off (depending on the gun used and the caliber of the bullet)... However in the case of light it doesn't have an artificial accelerant to give it momentum like the gunpowder that makes the bullet project forward so again this is not a comparable scenario as the light can still only travel at the speed it is capable of travelling without assistance, 670,616,629mph... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Problem with that as far as I'm concerned is still ultimate top speed... If you have 2 trains travelling at 200mph one behind the other, the rear train has a runway on top with an aeroplane on facing forward, the planes top speed is 100mph, engine starts and it attempts to take off and reach the front train, the distance between the trains is the same throughout but it would be impossible for the plane to get to the front one as even though while in contact with the train it's speed compared to the front train is the same once it left contact with the one it's on even at full speed it would fall back at a ratio of 2:1... Even in the vacuum of space (if that's what it actually is, another annoying question may follow) it can't be possible to travel faster than you metaphorical legs can carry you regardless of the speed you are being carried to begin with... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I've been pondering that question for over 30yrs so I've had plenty of time to come up with multiple theories but my present thinking on it seems to be the most logical, but then again when was logic the accepted answer for anything? As for Luke being a tie pilot I think his initial interview would have gone like this... Recruitment officer "so you want to be a tie pilot?" Luke "yes please sir" Recruitment officer "sorry we don't have jawa sized tie fighters, try maintenance they're looking for mouse droid pilots" Luke "..." if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

REBEL SCUM!!! if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

Not sure about either point here,From my thoughts on it once you are past parallel with something it would seem to vanish at that speed as again the light couldn't travel fast enough to catch you... The not having rear windows is wrong because at sub light speeds how would you see the galactic police trying to pull you over? Wing mirrors is just a silly idea... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I'm presuming in this scenario that there is enough ambient light to reflect off the ships to make them visible, either that or they at least have the headlights on lol... if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

I personally have a differing opinion... The fact that the distance between the two ships remains equidistant is nullified by them traveling at twice the speed of light therefore not allowing the light from the rear ship time to reach the front ship... This is based on the fact you cannot make something travel quicker than its own ultimate top speed unassisted... But as you say until we can travel at such speeds we can never truly be sure .. if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...

We all go through life with questions occurring to us all the time, some we are able to work out for yourself, some you get answers from your friends and these days some you google (other search engines ate available)... But some you can't get an answer and bug the crap out of you from time to time... So mine... A spaceship travelling at twice the speed of light has another spaceship following behind at the same speed on the same course, if somebody looked out the rear window of the ship in front would they be able to see with their own eyes the ship following? if it works kick it, if it doesn't work kick it till it does...
