My interpretation is that synthehol isn’t supposed to be a copy of alcohol, it’s designed to give the positive effects of alcohol without the downsides, so that taste is likely not the main consideration.

Not in one exposure. Human eyes are much better with dealing with extremely high contrasts.

Cameras can be much more sensitive, but at the cost of overexposing brighter regions in an image.

While pork and poultry are not great for the environment either, they have nothing on the methane emissions of ruminating animals like cows.

The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.

The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and as the cloud collapses interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.

This same principle applies to galaxies.

No he doesn’t have talking points. He just spouts whatever bs gets him the most attention true or not

While it would be cool for it to appear the size of the moon, it is not necessary with a shaped mirror.

You can keep the same size in a higher orbit, maybe even geosynchronous, then sync the rotation of the mirror to keep it pointing in the same spot on earth.

Granted a shaped mirror that size would be much harder to put into orbit than a flat mirror.

It’s certainly a stupid idea if your trying to illuminate at the suns level, but if you wanted an area to have permanent moonlight? Not so unreasonable.

The moon is 400,000 times dimmer, so 1km^2 of mirror, which is ridiculous, could illuminate an area the size of Germany.

New York metro area is 12,000km^2, which would only need a mirror 173m on each side.

Actually might not be a bad tourist attraction for a crazy city, permanent artificial moonlight.

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.

Huh, well I got myself a galaxy watch 6 for like $200, and so far it seems solid.

It easily lasts a day, could probably go for 2 if I tried.

I’m confused, that looks like an m.2 slot, and it’s not like it could really be anything else. Msata is a dead standard and looks quite different. The slot would be too wide.

. 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

Diversity is important, but it’s still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There’s just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.

Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.

The actual paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11100893/

It’s still a preprint, and I didn’t see the exact figure but definitely concerning.

Ehh it’s still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.

Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.

I am confused, the gear s3 came out in 2016, so even 2 years ago it was already 6 years old.

That is not what I would consider new smartwatches these days.

Buy a object like a lamp that has 3 prongs and exposed metal. Before you pet your dog touch the lamp. 3 prongs so thats it’s grounded.

Also when you touch your dog for the first time touch him on his body with you whole hand at once, it’ll spread the shock over a larger area and be less painful.

On the otherhand things like plex let my friends outsource their piracy to me.
