Yeah how? A solution means EVERYONE gets sucked into vr world.

Surely a small percentage, at least, would go on to colonize.


"Include a note with this purchase" = Free postage for a letter!


When i worked on image pipeline the images were circular and had to be warped to square. Also the edges of the circular image were darker than the middle, and needed to be brightened.


CPU affinity? I haven't been able to change priority in task manager since window 8 i think. Cpu affinity seems only to allow which cores get assigned...not really good management.


Process Lasso worked for me few years back when I needed to do CPU cores restriction for an old program.


Can the liquid be agitated to avoid dendrite growth?


The schematic images are misleading. In reality, the separation between electrodes is usually on the scale of 1mm at most.


Ultrasonic agitation? Or vibration?


A battery cell is a long thin ribbon that is rolled into a spiral shape. There's no way you can apply any mechanical agitation to all the layers. It's been tried, but nothing came out of it.


I'm guessing they'll break it later by actually using said requirement.

Then say "i told you so!"


Just hang the batteries over the water in containers. Dip them into water if they catch fire.


Electric battery fire is not exactly extinguished with water.


This is largely a misconception that's caused by the fact that EV fires are hard to extinguish with normal water sprays. That is because the bettery packs are designed to be water proof, so it is hard to get the fire patrol's water in. If you can immerse the pack in water, the fire is extinguished without much trouble. That's unlike petroleum fires, where the fuel is lighter than water and liquid, so water spray will boil and spread the fire instead of extinguishing it.


It doesn't need to be extinguished, it just needs to be removed from the ship. Even a second of airtime (and a healthy lateral velocity) might be enough that the ship is out of the explosive radius of the battery.


sure, and what you do with remaining 499 burning containers when your crane is dipping the first one ?


IRS should create a spreadsheet with irs forms so the user types in their numbers and the calculations are automatic.

An intern or 2 could do this for the entire nation to benefit!


The IRS Direct File was shut down by the current administration. And no, it was way more effort than what two interns could do. https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file

Commentary on close radius interactions. Very interesting wrt nuclear forces!


If a magnet were attached to the turtle, would it lose its sense of direction?


It should.

Original paper is behind a paywall and this article has no details

The abstract says

> Conditioned responses in this new magnetic map assay were unaffected by radiofrequency oscillating magnetic fields, a treatment expected to disrupt radical-pair-based chemical magnetoreception4,5,6, suggesting that the magnetic map sense of the turtle does not rely on this mechanism. By contrast, orientation behaviour that required use of the magnetic compass was disrupted by radiofrequency oscillating magnetic fields. The findings provide evidence that two different mechanisms of magnetoreception underlie the magnetic map and magnetic compass in sea turtles.
