Solar panels aren’t just silicon. There’s also lots of silver wire traces to collect the current. I’m having a hard time looking up typical trace pitch, but I believe it’s tight enough to substantially attenuate the bands that starlink operates on.

This article is based on a preprint paper that hasn’t been peer reviewed yet.

Mercury vapor would be really bad to have in a fusion plasma. It would drastically increase energy loss and would make maintaining the plasma difficult.

I see you’ve already been told what 4’33" is but I thought I would point out that we are in complete agreement.

4’33" by John Cage would be an acceptable addition to this playlist.

Radon should be yellow. You don’t want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it’s still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.

I know they don’t like to read long bills, but maybe one of their interns can read Matthew 6:1-8 to them.

I tried brass quick connect hose fittings but the ball bearings kept denting the brass and the fit got worse and worse.

I replaced them with some stainless steel quick connect fittings I found on ebay from a power washer supply place. They have held up much better. The main drawbacks are cost and the seal is non standard so you would need to stock up spares/ hope they keep selling them.

The ridges of the weave in my pants sometimes produces a vibration that is similar frequency and intensity as my phone vibrate. It totally triggers the check the phone reflex even if it happens while my phone is in my hand.

You’re right those are not synonymous terms. I was sloppy with my word choice.

His method would work well, but using spray expanding foam in a finished interior space is something that I would not be comfortable to do. That stuff is so hard to contain and is permanent if it gets on anything that isn’t expendable.

Now I want more examples of a group sized thing adapted to be personal sized then reinterpreted to be group sized again.

I’m coming up blank, but I guess a similar concept would be post-it note easel pads.

I know you just copied the youtube title, but the title is obnoxiously pretentious.

The issue is the ambuguity in what someone intends when they just say radiation. It is valid to call any electromagnetic wave radiation. However, as for health concerns, what matters is “ionizing radiation.” Microwaves are too low energy to be ionizing, so they don’t match what most people think of when they say radiation with the implication of ionizing.

Spinning the same direction but the angular velocity is higher for lower orbits so the moon orbits faster than the outer ring.

Spirit airlines has an annual membership program for discounted rates. You cannot turn off auto renew without canceling entirely and they won’t give you the remainder of the year. Oh, and they wouldn’t let me erase my credit card info even after canceling.

Avoid spirit airlines.

Keep it in your peripheral but don’t stare directly.

It’s aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive… He almost burned the house down a couple times.

Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.

Don’t set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

Gravity would shred everything way before you noticed any cool time dilation effects. If somehow you became invincible, you still wouldn’t see a fast forward movie of the universe, the light falling into the black hole also experiences distortions and becomes so blueshifted that you could not “see” anything. Outside observers also could not see you or anything else slow down on approaching the event horizon. Any light emitted from an infalling object becomes so redshifted, the ability to observe an infalling object fades away extremely quickly and is not infinite.

Based on the subject matter, I thought this was going to be a StuffMadeHere video.

Yeah that’s the faster solution. I like the convenience of having the drip/cauldron system right next to my smelters.
