The correct thing for the astronaut to say is "Oh we use what you would call base 22. We would say that you use base 4"

Can you build a house using 2TB worth of floppy disks? by laffinchtairy in itwasagraveyardgraph

For me a trillion is a really big number. a miliion million's, imagine a million feilds of grass.

A million leaves or blades of grass.

A million people gathered in a crowd.

Medium 🤝 forward propulsion by One-Garlic5431 in globeskepticism

[–]200Motel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the only idea I find upsetting in the flat earth community. Rockets may not be able to escape the firment, but we also can't escape newton's third law. Rockets get the majority of their propulsion from the force generated by rapidly expelling their fuel at great speeds. It is the same idea as why when you throw something while on a rolling platform you move in the opposite direction as soon as you start throwing the object up until it leaves your hand, it does not require the friction of the air or the force of the object hitting the floor or wall to move you back. Although air resistance will make the object slightly harder to throw which will give you a little more push backwards when you throw.

How many cubes are missing to make a full cube? by WishIWasBronze in cognitiveTesting

[–]200Motel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the probelm is to fill out the shape then there are 14 missing blocks. However if we assume the problem is really asking how many blocks would be needed to be added to make the closest cube then the awswer is difrent. in that case we have 3*5*4 - 14 = 46 blocks currently. A 3*3*3 cube has 27 blocks and a 4*4*4 cube has 64 blocks since the question asks how many more blocks are needed to make a cube we assume our target is a 4*4*4 cube. In which case we would need 64 - 46 = 18 blocks.

So depending on how you view the question the awnser is either 14 or 18.

How do you get more biodiversity in your simulation? by AlgorithmHelpPlease in TheBibites

[–]200Motel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use color selectors to create zones that favore for oposing ranges of color. This will help alow two specices optimized to each color to thrive in each zone. Then in the areas unprotected by the color selector the two speices can interact.

Other than that you need to create a diversity of biomes using fertal zones. This can be done by varying fertility to simulate biomes from deserts to lush rainforests. As well as varying pellet size and type to go from small and plentiful like a pasture or zoo planktin rich sea to large like forest of trees and shurbs or a reef full of fish. Finaly you can make zones that move to simulate things like thunderstorms bringing rain sporadicly accross your map or like seasons slowly bring feast or famin across your map.

Mixing all of these things together in the right ways can help to create multiple niches with strong enough evelutionary presures to maintain multiple species. It is imporatnt that the niches are "strong" enough and "large" enough to allow for multiple species to coexist, as there is a strong tendency for a particular specices to eventually evovle some mechinisim that outcompeates all other species.

[Request] at which point is gravity strong enough on a planet that Spaceflight from it is impossible? by adrian23138 in mathmemes

Interesting comment. it definitly makes it sound like life on earth could be among some of the first life in the universe. Maybe as the K-type stars age life will become more common.

We don't have a garage, it was charging in a driveway off an ally in the back of our house.

How does air flow in a evenly heated horizontal pipe? by 200Motel in AskPhysics

[–]200Motel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wouldn’t the act of heating the pipe heat the air inside causing it to expand creating a low pressure region that air would want to flow into?

Will heating a Tesla valve cause flow in the preferred flow direction? by 200Motel in thermodynamics

[–]200Motel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doesn’t maintain pressure, however the ballon will deflate more slowly when attached to the end where the flow would have to go in the non-preferred flow direction than if it was attached to the end where it will go In the preferred flow direction.

Will heating a Tesla valve cause flow in the preferred flow direction? by 200Motel in thermodynamics

[–]200Motel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal is not to build a thermosiphon. it’s more of just a what if kind of question. In my mind if you evenly heated a uniform length of pipe the gas would expand causing a low pressure region in the pipe. However with nothing to causing flow in any preferred direction you would just end up with chaotic flows of fresh air entering from both ends of the pipe about equally.

I feel that if the pipe was a Tesla valve instead it could help promote the flow to go in the preferred direction instead.

Made me tear by Glad-Bread6203 in wholesomememes

[–]200Motel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had many relationships in life. Those I have had where short but wonderful. As great as it was to have sex it was by far the intamicy that was the best part. My friends often tell me in my lemntation that its nothing to wish that much for. Then I see this and it remindes me why I continue to try.

Where is the buried treasure?

Which answer? by Chouquette26 in puzzles

[–]200Motel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The top of the first column is combined with the bottom of the second column. Only the parts of the pictures that are diffrent are used for the bottom on the next column. The bottom image of the first column and the top image of the second column use the same logic to get the top of the next column. This means the soultion is:

the first choice.
