        Not sure why but this is one of the coolest things I've seen this week.

            @coliver What is providing the power to get the motors to move?

            I don't see any electrical power source. And certainly no redstone cable.....

              There is a small copper cable coming up through the board. Also I see what you did there.

                @coliver Gotta love a rotary engine. They always remind me of the old prop driven airplanes.

                      These are interesting. It's a solenoid powered V8.

                        I wonder how power efficient these types of engines are? Either as use for engines or generators?

                          They'd be terrible 🙂 It's not an efficient design in the least. Those designs exist for the purpose of converting linear combustion power into radial power. But with electric motors you can do that directly. These are just interesting to have made, not useful in any sense.

                              Man, what an arrogant prick:

                              https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1616648-starting-with-linux-from-scratch

                              Guy is a super junior helpdesk guy (@tonyshowoff and I know this guy in person) and he doesn't know anything about Linux or UNIX and has convinced his company that for a super simple little application project that should take a few weeks of effort and zero proprietary stuff requires him to make his own OS and get Linux certified as UNIX... which even Red Hat, Suse and Ubuntu have not done. And when anyone points out that this is crazy, he calls the entire Linux community "arrogant" for stating how hard this is.

                              This is what we call as Askhole, for sure.

                                That's weird. We've not done anything that would trigger that. 😞

                                    I haven't seen any issues with it here the last few days. Things have been nice and snappy since adding CloudFlare and dropping Gravatar.

                                      Yep, I'm always amazed when this site gets faster. Seems to be most updates this past month/s have really helped that.

                                        CloudFlare is a huge one. Lowered our load while also decreasing latency. Even though traffic shot through the roof once HTTPS was on.

                                            The cache hits are not nearly what they could be.... because we heavily push caching out to the browsers, too. We could lower that and get much higher CF cache hits, but that would be self defeating. It's basically only avatars, logo and such getting cached so not a big deal if it goes stale as those things don't change.
