If anyone's wondering, here's the important bit: https://youtu.be/erq4TO_a3z8?t=259

I suppose this technique could be modified for most UK pugs too, but I've no idea how you'd manage it for a recessed EU-type socket.


The only reason for tilt-rotors is when you need to keep the main body of the aircraft level.

The only problem with tail-sitters is the pilot (and possibly the payload).

Actually, a tilt-rotor can be manipulated to make the aircraft go where you want it to. The same idea explains how helicopters make their way across the landscape.


Well, the comments are interesting...

"You, Sir, have caught some absolutely breathtaking photos of POSITIVE ET'S AND THEIR CRAFT CLEANING UP THE FUKUSHIMA RADIATION AND SAVING THE PLANET AND IT'S ECOSYSTEM FROM SURE ANNHILATION!...It is QUITE OBVIOUS WHAT THOSE LIGHTS ARE, MY "SILLY WABBITS"!!!"


How long before this is a Minecraft mod?


I see brainfuck all the time over at http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/

It's... weird.


Well, in some places it's not a great idea to use your computer in an electrical storm if it's connected to a mains outlet.

Sounds like you were lucky.


Far more useful than the OP, IMO. Awesome!

It briefly bugged out (dumping everything as a string into a single result block) on entering a ":" or ";" after the word "Error" in a string as part of the long formula I tested it with, but since then I've changed a few minor things and it's stopped happening :S


Thanks for testing! ";" is delimiter for function arguments in czech version of Excel (because "," is decimal delimiter). Parser tries to guess if you're using czech or english version and it probably guessed wrong.

Anyway, I wrote the parser by hand so I cannot guarantee it will work on every valid Excel formula. But I'm working on improved version which will use formal grammar.


"Snap: Take a photo, Tag: Name it, Save: Email it 'into your shoebox'"

Why not "Snap: Take a photo... Later, copy them to a folder on your PC"?


I've tried this solution myself, but I find the later copy them to a folder on PC never happens. The receipts build up and when i do remember, i'm not at my pc.

When i am at my pc, i forget to copy them from my phone.

I wanted something more instant


It's not as bad as the Valve Args were/are. The hardest part for me would have been finding the red herring!

(Well, it's not really relevant but you reminded me of it ^_^)


Ah awesome thanks! Didn't cross my mind to link to the commit's line number. Still, have to agree with some commenters about having the link go to it by default.
