Spitballing outta my rear here – but could it be that we have a lot more exposure to flu-like viruses, whereas Corona viruses are comparatively novel, at least as far as the immune system's concerned, so there'a a lot more a strug

Can the layers be side-illuminated? If so, could these be layered, with some compensation for angle employed to account for depth, allowing you do fake RGB? ed - eg. each 16 micron sheet is side-illuminated with a specific colour, and then

Two suggestions for your site: • Knock off the first 30 seconds of your 'interior shots' video where the machine is presumably registering itself. I don't much care about that :) • Show the resultant printed film from the sid

I did work experience for a week for my IT course when I was about 15 in the offices of a petroleum-selling company. I spent a day or two in the accounts department absolutely amazed by the ~50 year old lady who was showing me how she input

Outside of typing out emails or schpiels, yes. If I discount Ctrl, Alt & Shift - probably significantly more than 5%.

For sure, but if there were an ISO standard for fridge doors, I could at least get options that perhaps whilst not exactly the same as what I have aesthetically, would fit functionally. As an ex/sometime-designer myself, I can apprecia

I appreciate some of the rationale for the cost, however the fridge itself is less than five years old. The solution here would be standardised fridge door shelf types, or better yet - sturdier designs that don't gradually crack when t

The door shelves in our crappy fridge at home have all gradually cracked and split and are held in place by messes of superglue and transparent Gorilla tape. Fed up with this, I priced up replacing them last week. It'll be cheaper to b

I've been wondering something like this lately in relation to apparent species die-offs - we view and catalogue numbers in a timeframe that makes sense on an immediate human scale. What if species have always gone through collapse&#x2F

I don't wish to be negative, but after reading the schpiel, I'm absolutely none the wiser as to what sort of thing this could be - even vaguely - so why would I sign up for early access? I appreciate not wanting to give too much

The problem then being: how do you remove the mass you're extracting? Existing horizontal TBM systems make this much easier.

I think parent means 'other people'. At least, I would, in their shoes.

Much the same could be said about America, Australia or New Zealand - or in older days the expansion of the First Calpihate - but time and humanity blithely blunders on regardless of critics' mores.

Works well on my wee i5 laptop, and certainly a LOT better than ye olde NASA World Wind with all the satellite plugins added on, which regularly crashed my machine when I used to play with it back in 2005 or so!

I've actually often used booze to power beyond sense and get extra work done at the end of a day, however there is a HUGE proviso - it has to be design work, or stuff that I know inside out and could do blind-folded anyway. Anything to

A friend is asking: "When will it be finished?" By which he means, "When will it be populated with more data?" I presume he's asking as his particular place of interest won't let him view 3d or pointmap views.

Oh! Well done! Yes, I did try it, as too the three other people I've since shared it with. I like the point map version too - I've a grab of a 'minecarft-looking version' of my home village - wonderful!

Curious. I remember a friend's brother, who is a geneticist, lightly rubbing me about being part-Neanderthal when I was barely in university, which was a good 20+ years ago. (I'm a ginger, he's Mediterranean - joke's on

ImageMagick's neat, but the steps required to warp and then tenderly shadow and sheen the output of a grab are, in my experience, much better done (initially at least) with a GUI tool. A lot quicker to intuit, test and iterate. I hate

This might be a North/South thing. Generalising massively - I often find that Southern English will entertain huge grievances but never actually do or say anything about them. I kind of conflate these types with tutting Daily Mail-read

Don't get me wrong, I see the appeal for Google of having it on there, but from the sidelines here, it seems to me to be terribly wasteful. It's like the energy consumption angle was never even considered. I presume it wasn't

As an aside - what benefit is there to having a game such as Terraria on Stadia in the first place? It has fairly low system requirements, and given how much energy is eaten up by server-side rendering and streaming, it seems wasteful in th

That nuclear submarine drone's a different project, but also as-equally threatened to exist by the Russian government. "They're pulling Crazy Ivans all over the place!".

by detritus 6y ago
Presumably the choice of noting Russia here is because they are presently and actively suggesting they're going to field one of these soon, and are apparently developing the concept - whereas Project Pluto was the sort of standard fant
