They are misfolded body's normal proteins, with a nasty side effect that they cause the normally folded copies of the same protein to also misfold in the same way. The result is a chain reaction of sorts.

Just for clarification, the big explosion at Fukushima was a hydrogen explosion. At high temperatures, fuel cladding breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen collected at the highest point in the structure and later exploded.

Each building in Switzerland has an underground air raid shelter. So you wouldn't be able to kill too many civilians this way. And once you've destroyed all their aircraft, their SAMs are free to shoot an any target that's fl

You know that by not taking the vaccine, you increase the chances of infecting your mother even if she has taken the vaccine?

Batteries -> electric motors -> ducted fans seems inefficient to me. If I were building this myself I would go with a hybrid rocket engine.

I'm an Arch newbie (started using it in January this year). Never had any issues with rolling updates. A few times the update required manual intervention, but that was documented on the Arch website and took about 30 seconds to fix. H

I believe you only need to swap the filament once for each different filament material that will be used. That's the whole point of the article.

I think a part (or all) of the placebo group get a different vaccine (e.g. chickenpox), so they still get a reaction.

If you're on Ergodox EZ, check out the options "Ignore mod tap" and "Permissive hold", they might solve your issue.

I have this crazy plan to create a harness where the two keyboard halves hang on the sides of your body (think sitting or standing with your arms naturally hanging down - the keyboards will be positioned under your palms). But I'm stil

See my reply to it above. I feel this is highly individually dependent and you have to try it yourself.

If you have smaller hands, consider a Kyria. I use an Ergodox EZ and while I'm generally happy with it, it's quite difficult for my thumbs to reach all but the first key in the thumb cluster.

What I noticed is that people who are really good at (properly) touch typing on a staggered keyboard have more difficulties adapting to a linear one. In my example, I type around 80 wpm on a regular keyboard, but I've never learned and

This was being done three years ago: https://www.powermag.com/thorium-molten-salt-reactor-experim... Also, I believe Copenhagen Atomics is doing this at the moment, but couldn't (quickly) find a reference.

To be pedantic, a particle without mass. Matter also includes things without substance like physical fields. So a photon is matter. At least this is what I was taught in school many years ago...

How do you know there is life in other parts of the universe? Do you at least consider a possibility that life originated only once?

But once the situation with the coronavirus is over, the kids will be in school/daycare, so this won't be an issue.

I've heard a story that due to the hardware divide instruction in 68000, IBM engineers were concerned about interrupt latency (the instruction took many cycles to execute and couldn't be pre-empted by in interrupt).

Starship should be able to reach orbit by itself, just without any cargo. See e.g. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1076613555091234816 . So it technically is a (not very useful) SSTO. But is enough for it to be

What would be the mechanism for damaging the red blood cells, considering that they don't have a nucleus, and therefore the virus cannot replicate in them?

Actually, converting kinetic energy of fast moving ions to electricity is a very efficient process. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion .

The French have a term for this - vie quotidienne. Literal translation would be "everyday life", but the French term has an aspect of positivity in it that I don't think carries over to the English version.

I think there is a lot of misinformation in your post. The pilots didn't follow the airspeed unreliable procedure, and oversped the aircraft. Maybe it's the best they could do, but definitely not what they were expected (and train
