Weather balloons are tiny, yes, but they aren't tracked by radar anymore. Generally, it's a set of meteorological instruments and a GPS to track the location. It's a bit easier to get that to work, as you no longer need to ma

Leader orders shoot-down. Order goes to NORAD, which tasks jets to intercept. USAF jets get there first, conduct shoot-down.

Maybe not on YouTube, but the gunTubers are having issues with YouTube changing their interpretation of the rules and instantly issuing 3 strikes against them for rule violations. And so, it'd be good to have a back catalog to upload t

If your state has rules about HOAs not being able to block solar panels, it's probably worth it.

On the one hand, the speed makes the interception harder. On the other hand, Ballistic Missiles are ballistic. They don't maneuver, they go exactly as Newton says they go.

As sensors get better, the closer the penetration aid ends up having to have the same characteristics as a warhead filled RV. At which point you're better off just launching a real warhead than a decoy. Ex: Low orbit isn't free of

Battery swapping has a number of disadvantages: forcing all the cars to use a specific size and shape battery, which may not be great for packaging efficiency. Battery has to be physically more robust to be able to withstand regular handlin

The flip side is that the military also relies on and distributes observations. Last I looked, the FMQ-19 used a windows server 2019 box. And it is used for some of the airports that are dual use, such as Hickam/Honolulu international.

Does this imply potentially automatically updating, instead of me remembering to go get the MSI?

Wattage depends on the power supply. USB PD gives you up to 60W. Barrel plug lets you bump the voltage (and power) up 20%. New firmware apparently let's you use EPR, which brings you up to 124W max, but you need a EPR power supply and

Most languages assume twos complement signed numbers. So an uncaught overflow will be wrapped around JS specifically won’t necessarily wrap at this point, because adding one to the Max 32 but signed int maybe be a float.

No? But I think that if you have substructure, like a position or can reasonably have multiples of the thing, it should be a tag.

The chain gets compressed between the tire and the ground. It can’t really have a much different speed than the tire itself.

Pre check has generally been a separate line at most airports I've been at. It also allows a changed security posture: don't have to take off shoes, belt, use the nudie scanner. Clear literally just lets you cut in line.

I think I saw this somewhere else earlier, and one of the ideas listed was: don't use seawater, use other wastewater, like mining leachate, or similar. This gets rid of the water in it, making it more concentrated, and gives a useful p

Even fresh water needs to be filtered before running it through the electrolysis. But yes, part of the problem with electrolysis is the power cost compared to current "blue" hydrogen, which is decarbonated natural gas. Some of the

Voter registration also ensures that you're voting in the right races. Because the US has so many local races, people living not very far apart may have different ballots for things like local water district. And people are terrible at
