>VLC is unique in its support for every codec under the sun. If it refuses to play a video file, it's probably because it's damaged beyond recovery, or not a video file at all. Last I checked the recommended method to play h.26

It could really only be scaled with deep water aquaculture, there's just not enough areable land.

It's a one-off, the tooling was at most wooden forms.

I came away thinking: > Unless the Elden Ring demo condensed everything cool about the game into 1/12 the square mileage Yes, that seems like the kind of thing you would do with a demo.

Could you elaborate on what that would be? You're thinking of a Starship with a disposable fairing on top of it?

It would mean adding carbon. In order to be carbon neutral that carbon would need to extracted from the carbon cycle.

Airbus has dangled the hydrogen jet concept, but hydrogen presents a lot of problems (low density, cryogenic, leaks through solid metal causing embrittlement). It probably makes more sense to just synthesize longer hydrocarbons.

An ASAT weapon isnt going to hit much harder than debris. For circular orbits of the same altitude, just a few degrees off on the orbital planes and the velocity difference is in the km/s.

I don't think altitude affects efficiency, but it does effect the light intensity, particularly in ultra-violet.

Yeah we can safely assume that the chemical plant didn't exert any political influence whatsoever.

The problem I see with these labels is they lack specificity. A sticker on the visor in a new car says this vehicle contains chemicals that cause cancer and /or birth defects. I know the paint does, as do all the fluids. What about the

ITER is so far from a design for operation in space that making such an extrapolation from it is ridiculous.

Unless the car is designed for fast battery swaps. It's still a big heavy item to steal, but it's conceivable to drop it on a skate and hoist it into a van.

NASA had agreed to a stop work in exchange for an accelerated timeline for resolving the suit.

Is there some trick to make that work so close to the sun? Jupiter is 5AU out from the sun, but the solar gravitational lense focal point is 542 AU out.

Maybe for some. For most uses though, people just want to write data to and read it from the storage media. They don't want to think about the coordinates their data was written to on the DVD.

I tried using the Libby app, my local library system uses it for digital "loans". You can download your checkout, but the app requires an internet connection. No signal, no audiobook.
