Speaking from my experience (a lot of DCS, 10s of hours in VTOL VR, couple hours in MSFS2020, all in VR), if you have HOTAS controllers, it feels natural to use them, without seeing them. Actually, my biggest grip with VTOL VR is the fact that the developer is hellbent on using vr controllers instead of joystick and throttle, which even with the best tracking (valve index) is miles away from precision of a good hotas

Cool! My interest in flight sims is more GA than military so I don’t think HOTAS is as appropriate there but I can definitely see that military flight sims are the killer VR app.

Could something like Apple Vision Pro work in an AR capacity so I can still see my physical controls?

I don't know about apple but I've seen some videos of people using pass trough in Meta 3 - here is a guy that has built an A-10C cockpit at home https://youtu.be/KwOKr8QrJA4

Take a look at the help page. You need to press right mouse button a the given location (or long press on a touch screen) for it to pull the data.

To the author - great work! But It would be really helpful to be able to check the family/genus/species names in my native language

Beautiful photos but i have to nitpick

>Exhausted and hungry, I was happy to get to Coldfoot. It’s allegedly the world’s farthest north truck stop.

Coldfoot seems to be on 67*N. This is similar to Kiruna in Sweden and south of Narwik in Norway - town of 15k people. I bet that there are some truck stops there as well :D

There is also Tromsø, Norway with a population of almost 70k. We're at 69 degrees north. I'm pretty sure we have a truck stop close by.

It does require special receivers, but AFAIK the only special thing in them is the removed speed/altitude limitation that exists in regular of the shelf receivers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinating_Committee_for_Mul...

As far as i understand some of the small reactors are designed to be fueled only once in their lifetime - in the factory.

Well, I'm also not a native speaker, but it makes sense to me. Author is implying that every reader of his book knows "On the Origin of Species" very well.

I'm not sure about the garage, but you can sure do it in your microwave - NileRed did a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0u8Vtf2GoQ

Aaand he had to break all of his beakers afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGqVMbAQhBs

The plasma you can generate in your microwave is nowhere near 100M degrees. The low range of plasma temperature is at around ~6K Celsius.

Such amount of plasma at 100M°K will destroy the whole building. Temperature of nuclear explosion is less than 1M°K.

I have a complete different experience. Went from cheap robot to high end dyson standing vacuum cleaner, and the latter performs much better. Robot was getting stuck everywhere, after some time the mechanism broke due to dust getting inside the gears. Now i just spent 10 minutes every two days for a quick vacuuming around the house and lo and behold - the dust is no more.

It might just be that the robots aren't best suited for small flats.

I was able to power ESP-12E based humidity and temperature sensor for about 6 months from 18650 cell. I've used deep sleep and 15 minutes intervals between readings.

HBO Go works fine in Poland
