Anyone else have something good for dinner?
Post by: Doof on February 08, 2002, 02:24:56 pm
Thanks guys for not releasing a build tonight. Now I can finally get all of my Divemaster homework done. I still have to draw out an underwater contour map from data I collected on a dive, and it's proving to be a royal PITA.
Anybody good with compasses?

Doof I Was In The Artillery Some Of My Military Life, and directed fire on some enemy locations (once on my own OP, not my fault, Really) that was a bad day.

sounds good, i take it you had some cheese on it, maybe some sauce?

Yeah, it was delicious. The bread was toasted... kind of like two french bread pizzas layed on top of each other.

I did eat that comander up, and made sure the gunner was transfered to service battery (where all the duds are).
sorry you don't wan't my help but maybe for the best, you may pass without me
by the way i always wanted to go diving since i was a kid

If you hit the target they gave you, then you obviously know your stuff.Actually though, I think I got this figured out. I think my problem was that I was trying to mark my bearings based on a line running perpendicular to the shoreline, but all of my data was based on magnetic north. But I guess that's what happens when you take survey data in July, and don't actually get around to plotting it out on paper until February.
Now that I have that figured out, I think I got it. Except that I gotta remember some of my geometry. I never was a math-head.
You should try diving. It's really relaxing, a lot of fun, and can be as simple or as complex a sport as you decide to make it. If you want to just do 30' shore dives looking for lobster, that's cool, or if you want to try penetrating a cave system 4.5 miles in and 450' down, you can do that too. That's my ultimate goal.

The square of the Hypoteneuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
OR ... A² |PLS| B² = C²
Voila!!! Coordinate Geometry
Or better yet, get a calculator with Polar and Rectangular conversions. Just remember, all bearings are related to North (i.e rather than 356°, enter -4° --- same thing) and are input and output in decimal degrees.
No trigonometry function memorization necessary.

King, oldie buut goody:
Q: What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
A: Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets.
> The square of the Hypoteneuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides...
Careful, Charle, perhaps Doof lives in a non-Euclidean space. Riemannian? Poincare? The usual rules do not apply. Perhaps he was diving in the Bermuda Triangle. Non-Euclidean geometry there would explain a lot of things. http://extra.newsguy.com/~twilight/sounds/tz.wav

i was shooting a high angle mission and the base gun was shooting a low angle mission, he miss read the GDU by 100 mils (it was raining), and the safty officer did not check the gun.
the good thing was no one was killed
gun----------op-------------target - inline makes for a bad combo

>> Polar plot: = Direction and distance <<
When you're talking about targeting, the math gets a whole lot more complicated than that, doesn't it?
Doof,
>> Where were you in July when I needed you?!? <<
Maybe I was in non-Euclidian space. I always thought a Euclid was a giant green earth-moving machine (no, I don't mean the Packers).
"Space" probably does figure in there somewhere.
That Euclid fellow sure didn't have anything much to do. Imagine how bored you would have to get to think that figuring out all of the possible relationships between elements of a triangle was fun.
Charlemagne8 ... also with not much to do.

Yes, if your on the gun side they have the"One Arm Bandit", "Bucks" (portable Computer), And Tackfire\Afatads (sp) to figure targeting data for the guns. you need to throw in some met (wind direction, temp, speed) etc...
but on the Fo Side
Polar Plot, Grid, And I forget the 3rd, then add, drop, left, right, once on target, B52 this is D61 3 Rounds, fire for effect, over
