Airplanes were developed almost as soon as piston engines became available. Steam engines were too heavy for a plane. And even the early piston engine had a bad power/weight ratio. For french speakers, there is a video of a retired Das

You can experience faster air is lower pressure when you are trying to breath in strong wing (like sky diving or by an open window on a car on the motorway). It makes you usually gasp for air. But yeah I was taught planes fly that way in th

So then Bombardier will become dependent on Airbus?

I think you are refering to weight loss. I am refering to the ability to sustain IF (i.e. the stomach to get used to it without raging for food).

For an unelected panel of judges to come in, above the agencies, and tell them how the president is allowed to enforce laws is a perversion of the constitutional order and separation of powers—and a repudiation of democracy itself. It&#x2

In term of getting your appettite used to intermittent fasting? Yes pretty much you do.

Same thing with intermittent fasting. One deviation and the appetite comes back with a vengeance and you have to restart from scratch the process of getting used to fasting (which is the hard part, the appetite is what makes the caveman go

I don't know if native excel should be the benchmark. It seems to me that it has been ever slower over excel versions.

I don't think it's end users asking for it though. I haven't met anyone who likes it. Seems to me that it is more of a "good enough for the cattle" decision by the IT department.

But the point is that it is passive and works all year long, which I suspect wouldn't be the case of a residential heating system.

Wouldn't it be easier to just submerge some big heat exchanger?

It's amusing that his translations might need their own translations to modern english in a century or two, like he uses forms that already aren't really used anymore (like ye ). XVIII century French for instance, while probably

If you allow yourself to use carbon energy (coal and gas) then it absolutely makes sense to use them to compensate for the variability of wind. That's what the UK does. Their cost is pretty much proportional to their utilisation so it

1) even if it was, over producing electricity isn't really the problem 2) it isn't. Modern reactors are designed to do load following. The French do that nationwide on a daily basis.

A bit tiring to see the price of solar and wind being compared to nuclear. Nuclear can produce electricity on demand. Solar and wind cannot. You need to pair them with either some humongous energy storage facilities (and then you need to al

Some of the anti-vax movement during covid (I presume that's what you have in mind) is anti-intellectualism but some of it is not. You can hold both opinions that an mRNA vaccine is an incredible new technology that has enormous potent

What do they mean by “inland”? The vast majority of the chinese population and industry is near the coast.

The fact that they are building known and tested nuclear designs is rather a good thing in my mind. Less chance of a major fuckup. It also illustrates that nuclear is not inherently more expensive. We just make it so with over regulation an

Or if you can code, it's a simple flag an application can set to tell the OS it can't fire a screen saver (that flag the player uses). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase

Even if the employee is excellent, the deceit is enough to justify the firing. There is a requirement in the financial industry of being of good character and even minor things could result in loss of employment. There was a story a few yea

If youtube was a pure platform, personally I wouldn’t mind. But it is also politically militant and I don’t feel like giving money to militant organisations I disagree with. If they stayed neutral it would be very different. I also object

Western academics get the pressure too. That largely explains some of Fauci’s lies, as I understand he was concerned that being transparent about the source of the virus would antagonise chinese authorities, who would cut scientific coopera

In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia, and in January 1976, Democratic Kampuchea was established. During the Cambodian genocide, the CCP was the main international patron of the Khmer Rouge, supplying "more than 15,0

1979 was after the genocide and after Pol Pot was pushed out of power. Implying the US had something to do with the killing fields defies common sense. The khmer rouges were primarily China and North Vietnam backed. Now the US did support s
