The source of the explosion is easy to identify by comparing it to these two videos[1][2]. You can see that a crescent-shaped area of the pier gets obliterated creating a water-filled crater in front of the silo (the building with 16 tall c

You are right, thank you. It’s a non-standard way they used the word commission.

That’s publishing. I’m asking about one to one communication. Like the long personal letter Feynman wrote to his colleague. People seem to do much less of that.

Yeah, Marge Simpson too. It probably refers to a letter that the character wrote. But ignore those. Most of the list are real people.

I’d like to know what the modern substitute is for long personal letters like Feynman’s? It’s not just Feynman; look at this list from the featured website: > written correspondence includes letters from: Jane Austen, Richard Burton, He

So it’s not like what I thought at all. If I understand you correctly, then each one of those bright blue balls is a cloud of electrons at the center of which is a nucleus (but we don’t see the nucleus itself). The tiny blue lines and verti

Could someone confirm what we’re looking at in that picture please? In that spider web of blue points joined by blue line segments: Those tiny blue points are atoms? The blue line segments are covalent bonds? And what’s the difference betwe

I agree with you that I'd prefer GoSojourn myself, and that BikeTours sounds spammy. Having now looked at both sites, they both look legit, and at first glance, roughly equivalent in presentation. At this point, I'd base my decisi

The advice is to buy descriptive domain names and build a business basing your decision "solely off the domain name" that you're able to find. His About page claims that he himself does this. But does he actually do that? Of

I have a large list of unique emails to test, but they are not from a domain I control. It seems that I can test these through the API, but is there any simpler way? I tried obvious things like putting a list of comma-separated email addres

I would welcome a handbook like this for individual or family use at home if hospitals become overwelmed and can no longer accommodate even seriously ill patients. The featured handbook looks very useful, but it's written for medical p

It is indeed very strange that Korea and Japan should have 400% more hospital beds per capita than the U.S., Canada, or Scandanavia. I tried to dig into the OECD methodology[0] to see if they mentioned anything noteworthy, but nothing grabb

A 15% mortality rate is huge, but considering that this is a newly identified disease, the actual mortaility rate might be much less. Inventing some numbers, let's say that 3000 people were already infected when the initial 41 patients
