If it's just diverting bills that were heading to be destroyed (not impossible looking at the end of the bills on the non strapped side they look pretty rough) they're not worth a million any more they're just scrap. If you w

That ignores the other option which is it's not solid and they just filled the empty space with foam or a wooden box.

Yeah there are a couple that claim to be like this [0] one, and there are FDA standards to follow for that claim. I wouldn't use one on a cutting board or anything that gets scraped or cut on and you need to let it cure waaaay longer t

The main solution I've heard is to just encapsulate the whole thing in foodsafe epoxy. Then it doesn't matter as much what the inner material in so long as you monitor for damage.

The big issue is the fork and fixing it represents a decision about who has and hasn't gotten paid so the fork is quite sticky for those who's transactions do not appear on the post attack branch to want to stick the the attacked

As mentioned in the article the Starcloud design requires solar arrays that are ~2x more efficient than those deployed on the ISS. Simply scaling them up introduces more drag and weight problems as do the batteries needed to suffice for the

The big question mark is how many failures you cause and catch on the first cycle and how much you're just putting extra wear on the components that pass the test the first time and don't get replaced.

Probably I've just not seen them ever drive in a ground rod while doing basic line repair work.

Wonder if you could game that in theory by burning in the components on the surface before launch or if the launch would cause a big enough spike from the vibration damage that it's not worth it.

The water bottles don't warm up as quick as the air they replace that flows out of the fridge when you open it; so they have two effects first they take up space that new hot indoor air can't move into and second they then help ch

I haven't seen them doing that on power outage post storm line repairs near me, usually during those they're working as fast as possible because they have dozens of other spots they need to repair.

Grid synchronizing is not the same as being able to operate in island mode. The only reason you can run those inverters without an automatic transfer switch is because they don't function when there's no grid to follow so they shu

Fair, I always forget that most inverters require an existing line voltage to follow instead of being able to generate their own ex nihilo. I was also picturing one of the battery banks that do have the ability to create their own signal to

Wild. I wonder how they deal with the back feeding issue. Is there something about the home wiring in those countries that prevents it? (or do they just not care and line workers know to check if a line is truly dead?)

> no building permit is required This will be the main issue. No matter what you're going to be doing work inside the main service panel on your house adding new feeds and you'll need to install a transfer switch to disconnect

That's also probably part of the story but ultimately as an end user the fact is Firefox is a bad experience I'm suffering through only to not use Chrome. I can't force websites to patch whatever memory leak is causing Youtub

People make fun of Chrome being a RAM hog but I'm having more issues with FF than I ever did with Chrome. For some reason on reddit specifically FF will randomly freeze for a few seconds, my cursor will stop rendering on top of it (lik

I think that's still fair, market following ETF/mutual funds are kind of the gold standard for avoiding conflict of interest issues. It's what my job forces me into to make avoiding insider training easier.

He hasn't for quite a while afaik, way too time intensive to build by hand so he (at least last I saw 10 years ago) had a big batch made by a glass blowing company.

Absorbed light too but that's a bit easier to deal with and is why most things are white or reflective on the outside of anything in space that's not intentionally trying to absorb heat.

Most of the time boiling for water purification just means bringing it briefly to a boil to kill pathogens not boiling for an extended period so there's only minimal water loss so very little concentration actually happens.

The Starship version of the Mars mission also requires ISRU. At least that's what was presented. https://newspaceeconomy.ca/2022/05/27/how-will-spacex-make-r...

That's the long term NASA plan under the Gateway name. A little lunar orbit permanent station to replace the ISS.

The satellite door is completely different from what they'll need for MarsShip, that's even larger and has to function as an airlock. None of what they're trying to do now matters for the Mars door.

A smaller purpose build lander that doesn't need the fuel capacity for the entire journey would be significantly shorter and could be wider too. That would get it significantly closer. Enough that a simple ladder would be viable so the

The more fuel economic way long term is break the mission into parts and reuse vehicles; single ship from surface to Lunar orbit, dock and transfer to a staged lander at a station and take the up and down. Taking Starship all the way to the
