Not sure why you’re getting down votes, I agree totally. I mostly only follow space, sports, and video game news on there. It’s a great site for communication

All that orange smoke indicates it had hypergolic fuel onboard, which is toxic

You see these all the time, but they don’t look like this because they’re only sold commercially. Normally you see a truck box, a big tool rack/cherry picker, or a bus compartment. These are low-volume models that are designed and sold for purposes that actually require these trucks. This truck bed was a custom body job and this vehicle is probably a marketing/promotion model. No one’s driving these around as their daily commuters, I doubt very many of these are even owned privately. OP is just just trying to start a disinformation circle-jerk

Lol wildly exaggerated. Largest height difference on Earth’s surface is 13 miles (including underwater) vs. the 8,000 mile diameter. To quote NDGT, “The Earth is smoother than a cue ball”

I love ONI and Don’t Starve is hard for me to get into. ONI is a mechanical/technical base/management simulator. I’m a huge Factorio player and ONI scratches a pretty similar itch

A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I’m about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I’m absolutely loving it. They don’t dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

I’m happy to be surprised but I doubt I’ll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I’ve watched has been dumbed down “for a wider audience” and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we’ll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with

Too many bugs, not quite vegan

Do you remember the model number? I’d be curious to look into it

Pretty sure everyone knows that the power setting on the microwave just changes the duty cycle of the magnetron. I’ve never seen a microwave specify wattage when selecting power, usually 1-10 or 1-100, no lies involved. What it does is allows the heat more time to evenly distribute through your food while cooking with the same amount of energy. That super hot bowl and tepid soup won’t have as much of a difference when it takes twice as long to cook. Hot spots don’t get a chance to get as hot. Psychologically it’s easier too because let’s be honest, no one’s waiting 5 minutes after that timer goes off for the heat to settle

Only one if it’s bad enough to break skin and gets infected. Or you could also imagine someone stubbing their toes so often and badly that they lose all 10 toes and survive, can’t stub your toe anymore if you don’t have any

Only took it once, I don’t know anyone personally that took it more than once. If there’s a minimum wait time it would be posted in your state’s policies, but I’d guess they’ll take your money for the second test as soon as you want the too

Overhydration is a rare but fatal condition that occurs when someone consumes too much water, leading to an electrolyte imbalance. As little as 1 liter an hour can cause this condition. Distilled water has the highest chance of causing this condition with little to no benefit other than taste. Taste preferention is also uncommon as we’ve generally evolved to seek out mineral-rich water

Red is light at the 480 THz range. Blue is light at the 670 THz range. I think that’s perfectly described using terms of the physical world. If you’re talking about “what we experience as color” as being difficult to describe in our consciousness, then sure but that’s the case for every single thing we experience. Same way I can describe the musical note A as 440 Hz. Does an A to you sound the same to me? My tongue is sensing a sugar molecule, does the experience of tasting it feel the same to you?

Not a single human perception can be described in words, but we can all compare perceptions to other perceptions and agree on the same answer. Perceptions are simply us recognizing patterns in our environment. Red is me recognizing my eyeball is looking at an object reflecting light in the 480 THz range. You look at that red ball and you also recognize it as reflecting light at 480 THz. Does it need to be described any further?

“Privacy concerned” aka following every knee-jerk reaction of the crowd. At least I see you walking back your concerns after seeing real evidence above, keep your head on straight. The “privacy concern” in this thread is like the tech version of the juice-cleanse, health-nut craze. People spewing ill-informed or straight up wrong information and the privacy crowd is gobbling it up

A guy brought beef stew to a fight, but he soon realized his mistake.

It was not strog-enough

Dasani and Smart Water have high salt to mineral content, they’re my favorite brand of bottled water. Pure water tastes bad and is actuality dangerous to drink regularly

I don’t believe there’s much of a track record for private crafts reentering from orbit, intending to be recovered. Most private crafts like communication satellites breakup on reentry and don’t pose much of a risk to ground population. This station was designed specifically to survive reentry intact. I’m not sure what kind of deorbit equipment that station has but I would guess that’s what the FAA is concerned with. Any failure of navigation or propulsion during deorbit could result in the station losing control which would have it crashing down in some unpredictable point and time along its 25,000 mile path over ground. Undoubtedly there are some large populations below the orbit of this station

Are you intimately familiar with the inner workings of your heatpump? Nearly all heatpumps in a cold climate have backup heat built in and it would automatically switch to backup when it gets too cold outside. -30C is well into the too cold category for it to function as a heatpump alone

Home generators are not very efficient, they lose a lot of energy to heat and noise. It’s close to the break even point so depending on your generator and heatpump, you could use more gas than with a modern gas furnace. Even with a theoretical perfect 100% efficient generator, it’s not going to be an order of magnitude less gas because heat pumps are not 1000% more efficient than a gas furnace
