Not too cool in reality, but glad you caught that subtlety. Im not a chemist, I just play one for my employer

Just as a heads up from a professional semi-chemist: dont ingest anything thats been at car temperatures. Its hot enough to chemically alter things, activate diffusions, speed bacterial growth, etc. Its not hot enough to sterilize what you

Nothing thats nano is inert. That being said even inert things can act as catalysts, and even if they don't act as catalysts, they can sterically interfere with reactions

So I didnt know what to compare for the orders of magnitude. Like you said, by death it's more than 4 (since as far as i know no one has died yet). But by affected area, toxicity normalized mass of spill, amount of ground water affect

The role of these companies is to be corporate sin eaters for the board. Through consultants they can blame all the bad/immoral/incompetent decisions on the consultant. This is why every corruption story in the West features a McK

Im nearing 40 and the only person "close" to me that has died is my grandpa, but I barely knew him since I grew up half way around the world. As an (immature) adult I saw him twice. Twice as a teen. Once as a child post-migration.

"I'm atheist. Was born one, will die one, so you are correct" Cool. You do you! "What makes you draw that conclusion?" You're foreign (both by incident of birth, or effort of study) of to the matter at hand but

- Its size - its (suspected) payload - a million is chump change in aeronautics. Even if it were a weather balloon, the sensors on it would be insane and worth more than the missile. A spy satellite's sensors? Those lenses are filthy e

That's because you (presumably not a Catholic or, like most, a poorly catechized one) are projecting your values and view points onto a faith you don't understand. Classic cultural colonialism if you ask me. There's literally

Look this story is embarrassing, but the intercept was free. The entirety of it will come out of the training budget the pilots don't have to do for the month. As to the missile, apparently its $400k a pop. That balloon cost millions.

Sure. Except for something that is mathematically proven, never assign 1 or 0 probability. I just don't believe aliens are likely generally given the universe's density vs the speed of light

For those of us who have tried but failed to memorize our logs (obviously the best method to ballpark it) : For the n-the square root just group the digits by n starting from the ones. That will tell you how many digits you're dealing

I think it only works if you know its a perfect cube from the get go. Which is useless for me in my day to day unless Im talking to my number theory brother in law. But he only likes to talk about acting and scrabble.

Glad to get a chuckle. I was more more proud of my reproducible builds jab. Does a 1980's Datsun have an ECU? That's not obvious to me. Even a 6502 would be an expensive add on at the time given car margins. Maybe a one bit contr

Following your line of thought, I would love it if software engineers lost all their personal privacy every time their product got hacked or was built to spy on others. What can I say? I'm a dreamer.
