The pressure difference between your backyard and your basement is for all practical purposes null. It is also orders of magnitude smaller than those caused by gusts of wind and changing weather.

Wet bulb requires it to be... you know... wet. Not very practical to include in your electronics. I don't know exact method used but I can assure you, there is no water reservoir in any of my gadgets:)

I mean DRY BULB temperature. Reducing dry bulb temperature == removing heat. Reducing wet bulb temperature == removing humidity. But it doesn't matter a lot, because at 100% humidity (required to spontaneously dew humidity out of air)

That's false. TLDR: The air gets cooler but still can't cool you. Your body produces heat that has nowhere to go and you still die. Then the walls of the cellar heat up immediately, because cooling 100% humid air requires sinking

No, it is not reason to not report on Russian crimes. I believe all crimes should be reported. Just don't try to pin all blame on the other side when you share in it.

I found that no single "pure" paradigm is a best response to development needs. By pure I mean pure OOP, FP, TDD, etc. Instead I am currently working on mixing various paradigms together to achieve better result. Some examples: --

Yes, this is completely correct. I would add the wet bulb thermometer needs large evaporation area (so the sock cannot be too wet and definitely you can't put it in the bucket) and/or some airflow around it. Otherwise it will show

I have some ops experience but that was 20 years ago. Nowadays if I need to do something like that I have to do a bunch of research and spend a lot of time on it. Which I would prefer spending, for example, with my son teaching him programm

I see a lot of uninformed people on this thread thinking 35C wet bulb temperature isn't such a big deal and proposing various ineffective tips to cool down. Let me explain what the issue is, in simple words: WET BULB TEMPERATURE IS NOT

I think you don't understand what wet bulb temperature is. Wet bulb temperature is a combination of humidity and temperature. Wet bulb temperature of 35C means your body physically cannot get rid of heat and you WILL die, rather quickl

That is, assuming you have plenty of time. I don't. Is it too much to ask to have competently built hardware with competent software for a reasonable price enabled by mass production? I mean, just don't make stupid things like ope

It is not global warming mitigation. This method has no hope of counteracting any kind of change in climate even on geological timescales. The only thing it can do is to slowly move Earth away from Sun over billions of years in imperceptibl

I think "stupidity" as a specific set of traits that people can express either occasionally or continuously. I don't think stupidity is the same as lack of intelligence or wisdom. Highly intelligent people can behave stupidly

Unlikely you would be even able to recognize it as fruit. Probably there are some remnants of seeds and a bit of dark goo inside something that is a basket only after a lot of analysis. Fruit just doesn't do well underwater for any len

I don't know. It kinda seems to me that most who were conscious of global warming new it is not just linear temperature shift. Some of our weather patterns are precisely tuned. So are various other phenomena like oceanic currents.

For a significant mass of biomass to be pushed down it first needs to be present. Have you ever been in a coal mine? Coal deposits can be very thick and can consist of practically pure coal with very little anything else. Our densest forest

by lmilcin 5y ago
Nevertheless, there are no coal or oil deposits being formed or freshly formed (in geological terms). This roughly suggests to me, for whatever reason, there is no longer circumstances for new deposits to form.

Interesting thought. I think energy is least of problems. At the beginning forests provide a lot of energy and would be enough to bridge to industrial times (at least for us). The real issue, I think, is lack of easily available raw materia

I would also point out that today it is not possible to form new large scale coal/oil deposits. Coal/oil deposits that we are using up now formed because at the time there was no bacteria that could digest dead plant/plankton

I guess you don't understand what "sequestering" means. Sequestering is a process where carbon becomes unavailable for biological processes. So you have carbon circulating (present in biomass, returned to atmosphere, then bac

Also worth to point out Earth needed millions of years to sequester that CO2 we release to atmosphere each year.

No, we are still giving it a chance to evolve and we are still able to stop it.

Currently, the virus has access to hundreds of millions of people. If the virus was restricted to animals, there would be relatively small population of people that had access to those vulnerable animals. Remember, less people sick == less

It is all very simple really. Whatever we do, if we do not do it decisively, we just give the virus occasion to adapt. population of hosts * selection pressure * number of generations * ability to pass material to next generation = adaptat
