I think it is more ruled by the earth magnetic field. And as the magnetic pole is closer to north america, you have them further (geographically) south there.

Sorry mate, but you did not see them properly. In February, we had some that looked like in the video to the naked eye. And I was in the outskirts of Stockholm, so neither that remote nor that far north. Obviously doesn't happen that o

In EU, by law you are supposed to show the reference price (lowest price in last 30 days pre reduction) in small print. Different implementations in different countries but, at least for me, it does what is supposed to do.

If you have a good storm and are far enough up to the pole, you do not need long exposure. Aurora was already famous before photography.

From what I have heard from someone working at an insurance company, those liability contracts are not cost covering. They have those for customer recruitment.

You are joking, but still: this was likely not the only group of humans in existance, just the one that became us.

I think that is entirely the point: to keep the decision what to do with that wealth with those living. Imagine if the people of Egypt would still have to sacrifice one lamb each year for some ancient pharao. Sure, he pays for it, but only

You are obviously joking but still, give foiling (as in pump foiling, wing foiling or eFoil) a try. It's not the same but the closest you can get, at least within 3 feet over a water surface (which makes crashing a lot more benign)

But in this case, they want to avoid the human input. So, I guess, it would rather work by reading and copying the intonation of the source voice.

Which precisely seems to be a big motivator for this project: there was a risk that the oil refinery Schwedt that supplies 1/3 of the german market would shut down due to being run on russian oil. So big construction companies looked f

The german article [1] that lead me to this claims it is made from two components: some naturally occuring resin and a viscous extract from cashew shells. Both obviously not super common but (their claim) possibly up to 5℅ of the global bit

Is it? My bank accounts in two European countries have in the last year transitioned from Visa Credit Cards to Vise Debit cards. Because the banks in both cases wanted about 2.5 euro per month for something that does not provide any value t

It is long term contracts, not subsidies (which obvoliously are a type of long term price gurantee in most cases) alone. From what I read from Germany before, local grid shortages may further contribute. Since the price is constant in one g

I think you are mistaken, though I do not know how. Scandinavian countries accept quite many immigrants. I.e Sweden in 2022: 3.6/1000, compared to US (2020!): 3/1000. Both sources from wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.

Heise, one of the most reputable and in-depth tech publishers in Germany is using them. Mostly for articles where an image doesn't add much (like generic battery image in a text about new battery tech), but still. Possibly because imag

It's always astonishing to me how pretty much every climatologist will tell you "clounds are the joker". It totally makes sense, but that doesn't make it in any way less fascinating and is kind of funny.

What is complex about the B/C border? That Hönow is B? Because else, it is literary the federal state border. A/B is the S-Bahn-Ring. Sure, three zones are not super simple and where zone C ends is somewhat arbitrary. But aside fr

The calculation given is probably not right, but every european (and ideally world-wide) infrastructure project will have a cost to benefit analysis. Even if just to decide on which project to build next.

What does "before kindergarten" mean? In the mornings? Or before she was old enough to go there? I started kindergarten at age 2 (like described in Wikipedia) and I suspect that is not what you mean.

Even then. Hydrogen quickly moves upwards. If it is a ground storage, any burning should happen above the storage and not enter it (at least in theory). And you can measure changes in pressure quite easily. I mean, it is not like hydrogen s

By not adding oxygen?! Hydrogen itself doesn't spontaneously explode.

Not sure about the main story about the article. However, construction on that Ursvik/Rinkby construction site has been very slow since long before the current crisis. I was biking through the neighboring bridge of the one mentioned he

I have written that before: They only talk about Efuels because that sounds fancy. What they really mean are probably biofuels, i.e biodiesel and ethanol (not that that would make it any better).

But what is a realistic way forward? Do you think that scammers won't have this technology in 2 years? Can we really prevent any illegal use of neural networks at this point? With weapons that you actually have to physically buy, you c

I personally believe that they only tell you that this about E-fuels, even though everyone knows that those will be too expensive. What they are really looking for are ethanol or vegetable oil derived fuels that are likely much cheaper, esp

That's why I am writing 'at 0.2 atmospheres'! Under that condition, you do get neither any poisoning (which the internet claims appears at 1.4 atmospheres pure oxygen), nor a big fire hazard. You create other problems due to
