Right? What devilry holds them up like that, and how are they so neatly aligned, almost like in a line??

Throw them in the fire! And the towels too.

Not sure if the same applies to WinZip though.

True, but that’s just one part of the process, and it’s not comparing to the initial energy in the source fuel.

If nothing else, there’s an absolute efficiency limit from Carnot’s theorem, but in reality it’s much lower, even for the most modern and efficient gas plants, the limit seems to be ~60%, and for nuclear or coal, it’s even lower at around 30-40%.

I call it Bytejunkium, but I don’t think it catched on.

I’m not disputing what the current gold standard is, I’m looking for theoretical possibilities.

When you say heat, in fusion, most of the energy would be a neutron moving really fast, right? It sucks that it doesn’t have a charge because then it would be really easy, but there’s options here if we get creative.

Maybe there’s some sort of material yet to be invented that can be slapped by a neutron and “deformed” in a way that causes electrons to shift/make holes and exploit that to make electricity.

And that free neutron will eventually decay into a proton and electron, and those have a charge, so if we keep them going around a loop until that happens perhaps we could harness it.

…they found a clever way to induce a current using temperature differentials between the molten salt and some sort of coolant mass?

But you’d have to allow the sun to leak out of the donut, and I’m not too sure that sun-leaking donuts are OSHA approved.

I refuse to believe this.

You’re telling me that Humanity is able to understand what goes on at the heart of stars, and is on the brink of being able to harness that power (“Soon TM”), and the best we can come up with is a big tea kettle? I’m not buying it.

There’s got to be a better way of capturing all that energy - like, solar panels but for other types of radiation? Or if that’s not possible because wavelengths or something , maybe make something glow and use normal panels? Or like, can’t we take a particle accelerator and flip it around and pull energy from the particles that go zooming?

I’m sure there’s a reason why all of that is hard, but surely not impossible?

I don’t see any republican ever voting democrat, most of them seem too far gone into the echo chambers, which just keep growing and growing as they consolidate the media.

The only thing that may still break that path is the Iran war jacking gas prices so high that a substantial number of MAGAs abstain out of rage, otherwise goodbye America.

I’m wondering if poly market has odds for the US breaking up like the USSR in the next decade

Speaking of cameltoes, I’ll never understand how they happen with jeans.

I mean, I get that it’s because the pants aren’t a good fit, but wearing them for any amount of time must be literal torture, I’ve had thigh chafing from fabric and it’s hell, imagining that further up gives me nightmares.

I heard that attending one of her parties changes you profoundly, like, down to your marrow.

The author seems to be implying that they’d get their tongue stuck in Perlica’s pit creases, if you know what I mean.

A well organized drawer or cabinet should still be O(1). It takes at least 2 more steps, assuming you don’t leave them open all the time, but the number of operations doesn’t change depending on the number of clothing items you need to retrieve.

A pile of clothes is faster, but only for a small number of items. As the number of articles pile up, they hide older items and need to be pushed side before the intended article can be found and then retrieved. This is now O(N), and less efficient than just storing things in the proper place…

Nobody on this planet is going to help trump in this war.

It’s a war of aggression with no justification, didn’t they say they bombed the shit out of Iran’s nuclear program a few months back?

Iran is forcing trump to end the war in the cleanest way possible: making gas prices go up in US pumps.

Sure, the rest of the world is going to be suffering from this for years to come, but I can’t even blame Iran, they’re fighting for their lives.

I mean, they’ll have to get in line.

And we conquer that fear daily.

Many could be tempted to attribute that to our bravery, our grit, our resolve.

They’d be overlooking the simple explanation that some of us fear hunger and cold slightly more than we do the grueling and backbreaking 9-to-howlongisitreallyfuckineedtosleep hours.

I thought it was calling someone childish and immature, like, “come back when your balls drop”, but well, gender neutral.

w my boys, good job showing that men don’t turn to slobbering buffoons at the sight of breasts, no matter how shapely. If they do it’s always by choice, and unless you’re roleplaying something kinky, it’s always the wrong one.

I’m probably just really tired, but why would people expect that? Posting cool stuff is a huge service that I’m really grateful for, I wouldn’t have such an amazing feed without all of you guys who are active posters, if anything you should be offered uh… services, if so desired, not requests to provide them wtf.

Have you seen the price of gas?

Also, Iran has been striking at neighbouring countries, including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and not limited to the military. US owned, or related, assets are juicy targets.

Logistics in the whole region is a hot mess, and holding 2 racing events with the size and viewership of F1 would not only be impossible to organise, but more importantly, do you really want to host such events in the middle of an active war zone and tempt fate?
