their practical skills are weak, and they won’t survive the winter (because they don’t know how to make jam)

but frame the same physics in terms of what makes steam turbine spin, and they’ll pretend to get it but won’t apply it anywhere else. the longer you look the worse it gets. it’s like they have never watched how it’s made as kids

But anyways - why is there a vacuum in the jar? To preserve the jam? Isn’t jam a preserve? Like, I thought the whole raison d’etre of jam was as a way to make fruit keep, unrefrigerated, through the winter? Why must we preserve the preserve? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

this is “fucking magnets, how do they work” translated to rationalist, except that explaining magnets involves quantum mechanics and explaining jam jars involves high school physics (saturated vapor pressure vs temperature. that might be before high school). i also like how one linked explanation sits near two pieces of slop and is wrong

put google on that shitlist too, just today i see that they started replacing search results with slop

by introducing more mess that has to be cleaned up later

kirk’s mentor died from covid before, but kirk was face of this org so it had to end this way. i think that fuentes tried to do entryism there with low degree of success. i only got reminded of this dipshit once after he died, 2w ago, nobody cares at this point about his org, it’s a spent force

carbon fibre is reflective for microwaves

The developers claim this thing will use “net zero” water. This is while they want to take water that would normally be topping up the Great Salt Lake and use it to cool the site’s gas power plant.nbs

gas turbines (like seen already in genai dcs) don’t need water for cooling, ccgt powerplant does, but it’s because there’s steam turbine downstream. dc itself could also use evaporative cooling. ccgt has some components with long lead time that will require more planning, footprint and construction than straight gas turbine powerplant

Nothing has changed in that respect, except now we have an extra tool to make sure we get the decision correct.

And I thought the summary did a much more comprehensive justification of the ban than I could have fitted in the modlog, so why not include it?

idk maybe because it’s unnecessary to do that in the first place, and can be filled with nonsense from nonsense generator https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/25880065 emphasis mine

unless i’m to disbelieve my lying eyes, that does sound awfully like llms are in the decision making process

they want your data and freshwater

ah yes that must be that famed democratization that cryptobros yammered about

i think that perun took sponsorship from 80000 hours years ago, once, and eas or anyone in their milleu never reappeared

weirdly sbf-shaped failure mode, wonder how it helped that court case

chips and bare pcbs are fabbed in taiwan/sk as you could expect, but soldering and further steps happen in poland. here you have some photos from inside their tiny factory https://www.komputerswiat.pl/nauka-i-technika/w-polsce-znajduje-sie-jedyna-w-europie-fabryka-pamieci-jest-co-podziwiac/x4kce8e

bindeez 2007 recall would be close. tldr childrens toy contained plastifier that turned out to metabolize to ghb, this in turn was put in there as an unauthorized cost cutting measure by manufacturing subcontractor. within 2 weeks of the first incident there was a global recall. note that nobody died and there are no expected long term medical consequences. new batches had added bitrex and undergo qc for this specific contaminant, and brand name was changed

I suspect that we’ll see these “rockets” (missiles?) used for ground based air defenses before too long.

there’s already a ground based launcher for APKWS and FZ275 is compatible with it too

No not really. APKWS or JDAM are retrofits of old weapons with new guidance package. Belgium has no large stockpile of old unguided weapons so they get to design the entire thing from ground up. The principle is similar, its a laser guided beam riding missile shot from a heli or a jet, but APKWS sensors are on leading edge of winglets and this new thing has sensor in nose like a tiny Stugna. overall drop-in APKWS replacement with 10k manufactured per month target
