NYC is highly walkable, and very large. Same with London.

The benefits of large walkable cities is that people get motivated to do urban 'hikes' and the hours of exercise are much larger than in typical cities (especially compared to walking and cycling unfriendly cities).

As far as 'conspiracy theorists' this represents a vast spectrum of individuals, and no doubt that would be foolish to lump into a single one-dimensional stereotype unless your aim is some sort of propaganda or social conditioning.

Coffee is an anti-thiamine factor (because of compounds like caffeic acid, which also exist in Dcaf). It also hinders absorption of thiamine and minerals such as iron. Other than modifying nutrient absorption, it also has benefits, such as raising stomach acid, which is beneficial for protein rich meals. So coffee with a real breakfast (eg., hash browns and eggs) should be beneficial.

Coffee on an empty stomach is not good over repeated long term occasions, as it leads to cortisol spikes. If empty-stomaching coffee, it is a good time to pop some trace metal and mineral pills (iron, manganese, zinc, selenium, chromium, moly, boron, magnesium).

Any problems with thiamine are easily reversed via thiamine supplementation. I try to take B-50 complex two or three times a week, and a thiamine supplement on alternate days, roughly at the same frequency.

Coffee does seem to have net benefits. It's good against brain cloud.

If anyone is looking for a fun numerical simulation project I highly recommend reading up on the Vortex Lattice Method, which is an approximation that turns a problem of fluid mechanics into a the problem of solving a system of linear equations.

I got steam going perfectly on MX linux, but the AMDGPU setup was a royal PITA to get working. Took me days to figure out. Definitely not turnkey. Maybe ubuntu is better in this regard, but too far open sores for my taste.

back in the day when sharks were not equipped with laser ranging devices.

all "old" computer users urged to move to unix/linux.

this will work only if it's Xorg that has crashed.

For a kernel panic or lockup I think it's a combination roughly similar to:

1. Ctr-Alt-PrintScreen

2. continue to hold Alt

3. R-I-S-U-B as a sequence, to make certain things happen and like syncing the file system

oops, correction first sentence should read:

The rocket achieves orbit from the potential energy plus the kinetic energy. (Both kinetic and potential energy factor need to be a taken into account at the time the air drop.)

I think there might ve been a court scene in Bicentennial Man. i never saw that movie though, only the trailer. I haven't seen Black Mirror either.

It gets orbital speed and kinetic energy from the aircraft.

Being dropped from a 747 the kinetic energy is far smaller than the potential energy. The 747 goes perhaps mach 0.8-something with a ceiling over 40,000 ft; say roughly 14 km.

That potential energy is equivalent to about 530 m/s.

(So, in terms of energy, you are comparing a bit under Mach 1 with a bit over Mach 1.5.) sqrt(2 g h) if you want to do the arithmetic: g=10m/s/s and h=14km.

So added together we are talking about Mach 2.5 equivalent launch speed from the aircraft stage, from an airliner like a 747 or 707. This is significant. Remember you're also doing the equivalent of accelerating the propellant that would be needed to accelerate the rocket up to this energy.

Now if you launch it from something like a military craft (Mig 31 or Tu-160) then you can ballpark add another Mach 1, so we're in the ballpark Mach 3.5 region. Probably exceeding Mach 4 for the Mig 31, but of course it only could launch a small orbital rocket.

Now Kerbal is an interesting way to get very crude approximations. And the reason usually that my above simple calculation ends up not impressing as much as it should is that the orbital rocket needs to transition from a horizontal flight path to something much steeper, or it will take a very long path through the upper atmosphere. This long path ends up creating a huge amount of friction eating into much of your gains imparted by the air launch.

Even though the atmosphere ~30 km high is incredibly thin, it will burn your vehicle that is racing though it at speeds that are ballpark Mach 10 (possibly considerably higher). In other words, massive amounts of friction.

A ground launched vehicle can take almost the shortest way, and pierce the atmophere with minimal friction---almost a vertical path through. That is ground launch's biggest advantage. It will pierce the thickest part of the atmosphere vertically and gracefully and optimally arc into a horizontal path near its peak (the height of the orbit).

Yeah it's a hunger suppressant but it can wear out your adrenals if you use it that way regularly and very often. (spikes cortisol if you drink it on an empty stomach; I think it's either the chlorogenic acid).

Coffee is best with a meal; it raises the stomach acid, which improves digestion of the meal. Plus you don't get the cortisol spike when it's taken with a substantial meal.

Definitely wean yourself away from adding sugar to coffee. I have it without any sugar, but a bit of cream, and nible a pastry along side drinking the coffee. So if you can nibble on something sweet, absolutely skip the added sugar in the coffee.

unless you keep your cell phone a few cm away from your body physically you are generally exposed to above thermal limits (assuming you have airplane mode off and data or wifi enabled). Even the periodic tower pings may be above thermal limits, though typically they are short burts over very high intensity.

And then there's this risk (below) which should make you think twice about putting your telephone in your pant or jacket pockets.

And now back to the thermal limits. If you are exposed above thermal limits you are raising your cancer risks. This was known since the 40s (eg ww 2 radar operators) and is well established. In the past few decades the only debate was whether sub thermal limits of microwave and UHF and higher frequency RF raises cancer risks; the evidence is slowly piling up, and it seems those urging caution are being proven correct.

AI lawyers, my goodness. I've never even seen this in sci-fi. Welcome to the future!

isn't android based on Obnox OS? I think this could be an issue when it's used for critical automotive functions as well as incredibly important issues such as driver distraction factors.

For 90% of the pastries that are available in my area (NY) the factories/bakeries seem to use sugar by the bucket-load in their recipes. Often it's hard to taste anything in some pastries, because the sugar overwhelms everything.

Probably is one reason why insulin resistance is becoming common.

Anyone in normal health getting a second or follow on shot (aka booster) should have done so only with a negative D-Dimer test monitoring their reaction to their initial (or previous) shot. It was known very early on in 2021 that about 30% of the population will test positive on the D-dimer test (monitors for clotting reactions). A doctor not monitoring or at least recommending this test would be very irresponsible to their patient.

As far as allergic reactions, these are also common but not nearly as common as the 30% prevalent micro-clotting reactions detected by D-dimer test. It is possible there is some correlation between these, as micro-clotting might result in all sorts of undesirable immune reactions (eg macrophage related), some of which would result in an allergic reaction.

well, that was timed well for Christmas. While Buffalo got hammered twice by snow so far, it almost totally missed Rochester and portions in central NY.

Rochester still got a white Christmas which stuck around for a few days and definitely was a little prettier than the dreary snowless typical days in the region so far. The amount of shoveling required to date in Rochester: 0 hours. (Nothing accumulated above 2 inches.)

Texas and FL did get affected to record setting weather from that arctic blast. Hopefully most of the citrus trees survived.

Again, these short and extreme swings are often caused by a wavy jet stream that bring shifting North-South wind components to the weather while a the large scale vorticity passes by eastwards.

Wavy jet stream in turn is caused by a dying slowing jet stream. And this is also connected to global warming dynamics. While they do bring brief periods of more extreme cold, they do not help the average temperature stay low over the winter.

So look at the *averages*, not the brief extremes, and the pattern seems pretty clear.

In summary: just one cold brief arctic blast so, but no exceptional temperatures for most areas (afaik) in the NE.

As for Buffalo's luck, they may have be getting tons of Lake-effect snow from lake Erie.

They didn't test it enough with crude approximations (Kerbal in particular)? More drag over the path than initially than estimated?

The downside of [Visible Light Communications] comes from a high rate of “leakage” of energy with the emitting of side-channel radio wave signals. The researchers believe that if they can harvest the wasted radiofrequency (RF) energy, they can put it to good use by powering small electronic devices.

also more favorable weather for pickle jar babushkas to be outside, on balcony. So more protection from drones and cruise missiles.

This coming August we probably won't need to use electricity to brew coffee.

You can just leave a pot of water out on the porch, let it warm to about 50C by 6PM , run that water through a percolator, and put it in the fridge for your iced coffee in the morning.

Winter has almost been a total dud in western NY and much of the US.

How much of this is due to just:

(A.) randomness and chance

(B.) the fact that we're above 400 ppm carbon dioxide for almost every square meter of the globe

(C.) at perihelion

(D.) creeping up of thermal mass over the years and decades, eg oceans https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean/sst/anomaly https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/primary/waves/ov...

Because a PCIe slot is more versatile, and for quite a few other reasons.

While one person might find a RX 6400 GPU optimal, with its 50 some watt TDP and 1080p medium capability, another person would rather have a 6500 XT integrated on the board, and another yet would want some monster GPU with several times that performance and TDP. If it were you, what model or performance tier should be integrated into the board?

Thirdly, quite a few boards, (AM4 and AM5 in particular), essentially come with much of the circuitry found in a video card---it is essentially a mobo+gpu combo assuming you drop in a processor with an iGPU (eg. 4700g, 5600g, 7700x, etc); these iGPU's are somewhat below the performance of the 6400 low end Radeon card (720p high to 1080p low performance tier).

As for size factor, there are quite a few low profile GPU models. For performance and wattage classes above what is found in these, manufacturers may need to go to liquid cooling, if they want to cater to this high performance+SFF crowd.

I can confirm it's true. In particular, it tries to connect to two google cloud servers at:

from port 59946 to 35.190.78.8 from port 54192 to: 35.227.244.186

Furthermore, btdmaster's original comment regarding this was censored, which lends even more crediblity to claims, and that something very fishy is behind this.

Lousy engineering and poor oversight of how the designed systems interact, and lack of KISS solutions such as manual overrides may have contributed. One theory:

The engine surged power because it thought there was a danger of stalling the turbine, and whatever mechanism was supposed to get rid of such potential excess thrust didn't work or wasn't implemented.

Apparently not always easy to fly, but the Starfighter was an incredibly amazing design very ahead of its peers. Afaik this fighter could supercruise. It had tiny thin wings, very low drag, and clever mechanisms to cope with low speeds or higher AOA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap

Some hated them; notably one of the Luftwaffe chiefs at the time.

Disadvantage of the small low drag wings is that the aircraft cannot sustain a tight turn, as the aircraft bleeds off too much energy. So in a dogfight versus say a delta wing (low wing loading) like Mig-21 the F-104 will run out of energy.

But this is the sort of fighter that will use superiority in numbers and stand off weapons to inflict a blow on the enemy. It's not an air superiority fighter, but more of a first wave interceptor to inflict hit and run damage.

whoaaa who wudda thogt!

What's she suing Chase for? She should be suing those who killed Epstein and covered it up. Discovery would lead to those that operation meant to protect.

(some rambling questions here that are only semi-related:)

NASA is really anal about radiation concerns, insisting the caches have ECC (or they run it with cache disabled). For the instruction cache this makes sense (as well as any higher caches that would store instructions).

With modern CPU's having so many cores and threads being so cheap, couldn't NASA use these for redundancy?

My second question, how much more resilient are older processes with larger feature size compared to modern 6/7nm ? Compare modern with older (14nm/22nm finfet, 28nm/32 soi) and ancient (65nm or larger).

only the high end.

A Radeon 6500 xt is only about $170, and perf is between RX 570 - RX 480 .
