EMS or SAL... though for it, it is saying EMS is cheaper. LOL

They emailed me a newsletter that had the link.

AmiAmi is up

And back down again. LOL

Watching "Coffee & Cashmere" on YouTube talk about the "Top 11 Must-Have Fashion Pieces To Try This Spring (2018)", while working on my term paper.

Yeah, the Avengers movie. Aren't those movies supposed to be fun? Me: Did you have a good time, babe? Him: .... Me: You OK. babe? Him: No... Me: Was the movie good? Him: Yes... Me: Want to buy me a YF-19? Him: ...

Oh wow.. my boyfriend just got back from seeing a late night movie... and he is in tears.

Too bad I don't drink. Or rather, I should not drink. Even just half a bottle of wine cooler has me knocked out on the floor.... as past experience in college has taught me. *sigh*

MEEEEE-OOOOWWWW!

Cat nap? Meow...
-
Now I am imagining Sheryl Nome singing, "射手座 午後6時 Don't be late!"
-
Glad I took a nap earlier. I figure I will work on my term distributed systems term paper... considering it is due on Monday *cough cough*.... while I wait for the pre-order madness to start.

What is an MB Aile Strike? Another Macross Delta valkyrie?
-
*peeks in after having taken a short cat nap* Did I miss anything? *sees animated GIF of YF-19 blowing up wallet monster* Hee hee! Good one! *goes back to nap a little more*

Wow, I am surprised that ghost is as large as it is, in comparison to the valkyrie. I would have imagined the ghost to be significantly smaller... especially since it does not need to accommodate a pilot, both in terms of cockpit space and the G-force design considerations of having a person on-board. While it could be argued that the pilot-related space in the Ghost is replaced with AI-computing, I would actually argue that the ghost's on-board computer is not that large, since we have seen from Macross Plus that the Ghost is networked, and from Macross Frontier that jamming can disable Ghosts, which could imply that much of the AI's computing might actually be hosted separately and the Ghost's internal computer may be just a small terminal or node. More armor maybe? Bigger engines? More numerous or larger maneuvering thrusters? I really wonder now why the Ghost is so big.

Oh right. I forgot about the fold booster!

Isn't it basically the VF-19 Advance with UN Spacy logo instead of NUNS, arm cannon, and missiles... for the most part?
-
At a price that I imagine will make me regret having just bought one from Jungle. *sigh*

Girls can like anything guys can, and vice versa. And liking jets can foster an interest that can lead to a career in engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, and more! So definitely encourage your daughter.... or son for that matter.... to pick up a variety of interests that may just look cool to a kid, but can influence them into adulthood and beyond. -
Perhaps. Admittedly, Macross takes some liberties. For example, in Macross Plus episode 2, around 33:45 in, you see the YF-21 in robot mode kicking the YF-19, also in robot mode, twice in mid-air. However, the YF-21 is above the YF-19, and is also applyinf downward engine thrust to slow down its rate of descent... yet somehow is able to kick a free-falling YF-19 below it... twice? The first kick should have accelerated the YF-19 further downward, and per Newton's 3rd law, reduced the YF-21's descent. But the YF-21 is able to get a second hit in, without any apparent source of thrust to accelerate the YF-21 towards the YF-19 beneath it, nor any apparent thruster on the part of the YF-19 to slow down its fall.... at least, not in the time between the 2 kicks. Little things like that which my eyes always seem to catch. But anime magic... and hand-drawn at that... so what can you do? LOL

Interestingly enough, it is why I like the Super packs on the VF-11. Those packs have thrusters on a diagonal tilt, thereby having a thrust factor that goes both upwards and sideways. whereas from what I can see, the VF-1 pack's thrusters really point to the side.... or at least, not substantially vectored upwards But like I said, minor quibble.
-
It is more that when a valkyrie in Gerwalk mode is descending with its feet down, I keep asking myself where that downward force vector is coming from. In atmosphere, I get that the downward force can be from gravity, presumably 9.8 m/s^2 minus the counter thrust from the feet for a controlled descent.... but in space when a valkyrie "descends" onto a surface with its legs down, my mind starts racing a bit. LOL
-
Oh, I love the look and the concept of Gerwalk mode. But it is a bit of a physics nightmare. Interestingly enough, Gerwalk mode works for me more with Super/Strike parts on a VF-1 in a space setting, thanks to the addition of the side thrusters built into the backpack and leg armor, though I really wish there were also thrusters along the top of the packs, to provide counter thrust for when the legs are pointed downward. But, that is a minor quibble.
