Being able to go to the moon also provides the ability to go to deep space (just point the rocket away from the moon). Escape velocity is 11,186 m/s, so (assuming a rocket with specific impulse similar to the one in the post): 11,186 m

An average Danish adult is 1.80 m, so I would be off by 0.05 m. That gives me an additional 9,000 litres of volume in the main stage, which can hold 3,240 kg of extra fuel. It also gives each SRB an extra 1.47 cubic meter of volume, or an e

This brings up an interesting point in LEGO canon. If we assume that all LEGO franchises take place in the same universe, we'd have to assume that LEGO Angry Birds[0] took place somewhere in the canon timeline of the LEGO universe. Eve

I saw that! I thought that his idea to compare heights was interesting, but he failed to account for volume, since LEGO City rockets are wider than normal rockets (an Ariane V, for example, has diameter 3.06m vs 3.51m for the LEGO one) and

It'll actually still be 1/30th of the Earth, since from Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m_1 * m_2) / r^2 m_2 * a = G * (m_1 * m_2) / r^2 a = G * m_1 / r^2 If we make m_1 1/30th of its origi

That's a good point! I'm assuming that it's on Earth as [this set]( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003A2JCOA?tag=duckduckgo-fpas-20&... ) shows cities on Earth as destinations for the train.

GVFS ( https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs/backends ) now provides a package that lets you log in to your Google Drive account and access it from Nautilus, but you have to be on GNOME for it.

Actually employer beware would be "cave conductor". Dico means "I say". Provisor comes from the verb vidi, and means "one who sees ahead," but I suppose you can use "patronus" instead to mean provider

It's because Electron has taken over desktop app development. While it does significantly lower the knowledge barrier to building desktop applications, it does come with a heavy memory overhead.

Could it be that the intermittent requests to servers by running apps, say Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, be tracked as social media use? Because they all use HTTPS I don't see how the researchers distinguished between idle traffic vs
