That was arguably a separate faction, although the fellowship did do their best to inspire them to acts of war.

Maybe for someone with a specific baking recipe in mind? One of the egg noodle recipes I like calls for about as many extra yolks as whole eggs. So I could probably just use these without waste or having to make a separate recipe to use up the whites. I’ve never seen this at stores near me either in the US.

Tech Jesus is a colloqial name for Steve Burk of Gamers Nexus because of his hairstyle resembling old depictions of Jesus.

I won’t actually recommend doing so, but I’ve definitely contemplated sending glitter bombs to prior landlords who made up charges to withhold security deposits.

Why do they even bother charging the patient at all if the vast majority of funding is coming from the national system?

I usually look up the number for something like an ftc or fbi tipline if a website absolutely forces putting in personal info.

They may not be Mennonite but he’ll bed her tonight.

Lens distortion or something idk.

Except that credit scores have 0 interest in whether they’re fair to the person being scored. They are profitability scores for potential lenders to evaluate doing business with someone. To that end, a lender won’t care if you had a legitimate grievance against the landlord. Withholding rent even through escrow for lease violations is still likely to be viewed as problematic behavior and they wouldn’t want to risk you doing the same to them.

I think it parallels nicely with the DeLorean before Back to the Future made the DeLorean look cool.

Bamboo is just a really big grass. Most grasses can handle having their stems bent to extreme angles because they’re hollow. So the bending folds the outer layer rather than ripping it apart entirely.

The 14 °C is a really nice touch. Well done.

When I worked on a dairy farm I had to replace my leather boots every 9 months because the moisture and manure broke the leather down.

Leather that is kept dry is very resistant to rot, leather that is allowed to stay wet is not.

You just assumed the police are chasing the guy. They’re actually escorting him to make sure he catches his flight.

That’s a little hyperbolic. There’s a lot of mechanics at play in generating microplastics. Fabrics have microscopically thin strands of plastics. It should be no surprise that rubbing up against thousands of tiny strands every time we move and wash synthetic fabric clothes releases many tiny particles. Plus clothes have to deal with UV degradation making the plastic more brittle.

The plastic components in an RO system should be specced to not leach plasticizers. They should have smooth walls and laminar flow. There shouldn’t be much to abrade the plastic surfaces and shed particles. They may not be perfect, but water from an RO system will have orders of magnitude fewer microplastics. So an RO system still “does something about it.”

We do need to address the problem, but I wouldn’t want people to avoid beneficial remediation just because it has some plastic components.

I have a family member who studies fish at a post doc level. He had to learn a bunch of calculus and statistical analysis just to be able to actually make use of the data they collect. Anyone who wants to design and publish research has to have a pretty good grasp of a lot of math.

Posting the same meme to 6 communities does seem a bit excessive.

Not Mr. Fusion, but a modest industrial facility that could fit in an industrial park rather than the very large ITER which has its own complex. The ARC reactor design from commonwealth fusion is expected to have a major radius of 3.3m whereas ITER has a major radius of 6.2m. That might not sound like a big difference, but material costs and supporting systems cost roughly scale with volume which is a factor of 8 difference.

Here’s an old, but good talk on the motivation for this proof of concept. I linked the most relevant time, but the entire presentation is worth watching if you find it interesting.

Personally, I find this success to be way more exciting than the NIF breakeven shots. Those were neat milestones, but don’t get us closer to a feasible commercial design. This REBCO magnet demonstration makes commercial fusion a possibility in a timescale that could matter.

20 Kelvin, which still requires substantial cryogenic cooling systems but is much easier to maintain than 4 Kelvin liquid helium.
