The potato calculus thread

Now you understand

Thanks LJS, DR A,

The + are just spaces in the URL and they work fine, like here.

Thanks, just trying to work out what I posted that has got me baned, its something in this post.

Working through it a bit at a time. don't try it yourself unless you enjoy bane :)

Can you count to potato?

It's that moontard time again.

Lowest Sun angle spacesuit figures.

I'm taking the start of Apollo 12 EVA 1 as the lowest Sun angle of elevation at 6 deg.

Using the figures we have for albedo from diviner and the the revised view factors we have for the suit and this time including Lambertian reflection we can come up with a new figure.

Estimated regolith temperature using my regolith estimator and the albedo for mare.

The Lambertian reflected light will be

10 W /m^2 ( why does WA give such dumb units )

The insolation on the vertical surface of the suit will be

Yay, cracked it. It's down to a badly constructed regexp in GLPs word bane script :)

The spam filter suffers from the Scunthorpe Problem.
An innocuous expression or word containing a string of characters someone finds objectionable.

I have not been able to post an expression that will almost invariably shows up in any discussion about US politics: "American ---payer."
I have not been able to post "disturbed him gr--tly."

This is annoying, this is counterproductive, but above all, this is childish.
We are supposed to be adults around here, why the fuck be afraid of mere words?

Those are odd ones, in my case I think it is just down to the way the script is written. It looks like star plus anything plus star always matches, it means the script is reading posted text and interpreting them as regexp, with no input validation, which is something that needs to be fixed asap.

Well at least the word fuck is not a banned word. Most of us that don't speak proper English are safe!

I don't think that can be true, it must be something more subtle than that. Do I want a dozen more banes to find out ?

Yes Dace but what is the square root of potato, do they even have square roots ????

...it depends on what the big toe's name is.
