There are ways to tell (you can't have more than one G total acceleration via tilt, for one thing, and there's the rotational acceleration of the tilting itself), but that's still an intriguing idea. Maybe something like that

Though the comments also address using boots instead of an external device, but then don't consider that in the context of the arguments against a larger space.

Basically, climate change is occurring, and is known to cause extreme weather events. So when there's an extreme weather event, it could be evidence of climate change. Each individual one is not proof of climate change, but in aggregat

I agree with a fair bit of this, except that I'm not convinced the consequences to humans will be as dire as the loss of a good part of the global population. If we're counting animal species though, then maybe.

Something like this could be considered such an illusion, explained in layman's terms.

Maybe those are pieces of rotor? I know the rotors look white in the other picture, but maybe the broken surface is different and/or they look bluish reflecting light in that picture.

I think I'd be inclined to disambiguate them by making the ends of the bishop pointed and the ends of the rook blunt. When moving along a diagonal you're moving in the direction of square corners, vs faces for moving in ranks and

But in Chinese chess, if the knight can't pass other pieces, thinking of it that way would be a rule change.

I wonder if it could even use its rotors to periodically blow away dust on the panels?

My guess would be that the rotor struck the ground during landing.

It's per account, not per device.

First, things that are obvious aren't always correct. It's better to rely on actual data than intuition alone. Second, the study not only gives the qualitative result that higher hoods are more dangerous, but also begins to quanti

Seems like a wealthy person's toy/puzzle to me. Maybe it came with a set of wooden balls to fit into the holes.

I really thought you were going to say remote handjobs.

We did get that right at least!

Why not?

Not really. My impression was that people just felt it was a cleaner experience having everything in the app. Objectively it didn't have a significant effect on load times either way, but I could see a couple of potential reasons that

I feel the same way personally, but recently discovered that most others don't. When we launched the autotempest app we had it use the user's default browser for all third party links, which are common for us, as we link directly

What is technically the difference between a suicide UAV and a missile? Just speed? Or does it need to have a rocket engine to be a "missile"? Actually, I guess maybe suicide drones are a subset of missiles.

Of course CEOs are just people who make mistakes. In fact, a CEO is simply a specialized worker whose role is making high-level strategic decisions for the company. (And sometimes more tactical ones, depending on the company's scale.)

Good circulation definitely helps, but it's not a panacea, unless very well designed. I recall a case from the early covid days where contact tracing showed a bunch of people catching it in a restaurant; it turned out what they had in

Having posted this article, I must say it's disappointing the number of people who appear to be expressing knee-jerk reactions to the headline alone. I guess anything related to pathogens and public health are a hot-button topic these

Ha, I love it. I imagine spraying those into the rooms would be even worse though. And if you do it in an HVAC system you might as well just do the UV there too, in which case the ozone would break down before it was an issue. (And in fact

by tempestn 3y ago
For now, yes. But with more research behind the efficacy, a better understanding of the Ozone issue, and ultimately more interest/investment from businesses assuming good results, the products should improve.
597.
by tempestn 3y ago
This is precisely what's addressed by the article though. It's talking about far UV, which based on evidence to date does not cause any damage to skin or eyes. The ozone issue certainly needs more study, but I don't see the j

by tempestn 3y ago
As described in the article, far UV does not appear to be directly dangerous to humans at all. However it does produce Ozone, which can be dangerous - the question is how significant that would be in real, world settings, which is being stu

by tempestn 3y ago
That is a thing that's done. The idea here though is that UV lights are a much cheaper retrofit than HVAC systems, so they could be a huge improvement in places that don't have good HVAC.
