2 months agoI would have been happy either embracing a native name or removing the Confederate’s name. That this is an opportunity to do both at once is extra sweet.

That’s a sweet map, too!
Ooooh, that’s a sweet map!
Their first customer is American Airlines. The airline is paying Graphyte to capture 10,000 tons of CO2 to offset emissions from its planes.
19·6 months agoThe ghosts in Super Mario Brothers 3 (1988) would pursue Mario only when he looked away. When he faced them they would stop and hide their faces.
Mantises live solitary lives, and are cannibalistic. I assume it’s more out of indifference than hate, but it’s close to what you’re looking for.
They can and do get sick. Here’s an example of bovine parasites whose life cycle goes from cow to grass and back again:

Mass is conserved. If you split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then combine them back into water, you will have the same amount of water as when you started.
That’s assuming you don’t have leaky equipment in your lab, of course.
Water is the exhaust product. Once you have water, the potential energy in the original chemical mix has already been released.
H2 + O --> H2O + energy (in the form of heat or electric potential)To break down water you have to reverse the reaction and put that energy back in. That’s how electrolysis works:
H2O + energy (in the form of electric potential) --> H2 + OAnd since no thermodynamic process is 100% efficient, you will lose some of the energy each time you go back and forth between these reactions.
It’s the same way you know the things outside your window are real. You look at the light coming to you from that object and make inferences as best you can. As long as new observations and inferences line up with old observations and inferences, then you can be reasonably confident that your growing model of the outside world is accurate. When something doesn’t add up then you revise your model and keep iterating with new observations.
There’s no difference whether the object appears to be within our solar system or far outside it. We see something and we interpret what we can from the available observations. Occasionally, if something is close enough and interesting enough, we send a robot to orbit the thing or maybe land on it and gather better observations, like how Rosetta/Philae visited a passing comet.
I only know about the league from reading the ESPN article a while back. But what the hell, I may as well pick a team. As of right now I’m a Galgos fan since that’s the team whose hometown I have been closest to.
Mexico has a league (LFA). Check out their YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@lfaprofesionalmxESPN profiled the league in an article last year: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35881608/how-mexico-pro-football-league-building-brand-established-players-north-border
Regular CDs and DVDs are read-only. You cannot change the data on them in normal use.
You “rip” the disc by reading the data off the disc and writing it to some other media.
There are rewritable (CD-RW, DVD-RW) discs available. You can delete the data from these discs, but it’s not something you’re going to do accidentally.
“Resistor” usually implies a device with a fixed resistance value. A rheostat is a device with variable resistance. The two terms are not synonymous.
As for condenser and capacitor, Wikipedia has an interesting tidbit:
Early capacitors were known as condensers, a term that is still occasionally used today, particularly in high power applications, such as automotive systems. The term was first used for this purpose by Alessandro Volta in 1782, with reference to the device’s ability to store a higher density of electric charge than was possible with an isolated conductor. The term became deprecated because of the ambiguous meaning of steam condenser, with capacitor becoming the recommended term in the UK from 1926, while the change occurred considerably later in the United States.
There are certainly lots of film adaptations. I can think of two off the top of my head: Ten Things I Hate About You is a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, and Disney’s The Lion King is straight Hamlet.
I’m surprised that I can’t easily find novelizations on Google. They must exist. If not, then that seems like a great opportunity.
Similar to how Subaru brags about their “zero landfill” production. Manufacturing a car absolutely generates waste. They just juggle the supply chain to have all the waste happen at their suppliers.
I think it’s also about being predictable and consistent. Generally, slow traffic stays to the right and fast traffic stays to the left. Breaking convention increases the chance of surprises and accidents.
I think we’re all taking the “fake it 'till you make it” approach to some extent. I know I am. There is no script to follow.
Remember that part of being an adult is getting to decide what “adult” means.
Physical seasons, and the modern western calendar, are both based on the sun. Having two moons wouldn’t make a difference there.
Two moons would make the ocean tides more complicated, though.
I’m into it. Let’s go right down the whole Cascade range.
