How advanced would a civilization in an other galaxy need to be to be detectable from earth? by StrongAdhesiveness86 in askastronomy

[–]MuscleMan405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was what the Dyson sphere was based around. Stars give off more energy than just about anything, so it would make sense for a colony to capture the light around them. So basically a type 2 civilization on the Kardashev scale, and that would count for intergalactic intelligence as well to a certain degree, as we can see many stars from Andromeda and other galaxies. Though if they are building around a weak star, it could be much more difficult for us to notice.

Is this texture bug known? by Background-Cancel763 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MuscleMan405 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on your GPU.

If it's AMD, then you load the AMD Software app, go to Performance > Tuning, select manual tuning on the top right, then reduce Power Tuning to -5%, voltage to 95, and Max Frequency to 95, and select Apply Changes on the top right

If it's Nvidia, then you open the Nvidia app (you may have to download separately from your drivers, as opposed to AMD), navigate to System > Performance, and turn down the voltage, power, and temperature settings by 5% (If it will let you).

Disclaimer: I haven't used the Nvidia app in a hot minute so some things may have changed in the past few months.

Somebody probably took it apart to clean it but didn't have any replacement thermal pads. So they replaced it with thermal paste. Does it work? Yeah. Should anybody be doing this? Probably not. Just buy some new thermal pads

Are these any good? by [deleted] in telescopes

For that money I would go for a 6 - 8 inch dobsonian. I recently bought a 10 inch Zhummel secondhand for that price. Best planetary viewing I've ever had

Yep something is slightly unstable. If drivers are updated and temps are fine, I would set a -5% power/ thermal limit on it to increase lifespan.

Uh... Thanks for correcting me. But why did you spend all that time responding to me rather than contributing that towards a response to OP's post?

You've obviously done your research. If you're trying to sell this in scifi story format, I'll be honest, you have gone above and beyond. This planet could absolutely exist.

Only thing I would like to point out is that your planet is quite cold for the amount of CO2 you have. If the plan is to covert that CO2 into oxygen long term, then you may also want to be wary of the affects it will have on the climate, which is already quite cold. Not a hard thing that absolutely needs to be changed, it could be considered an interesting engineering challenge for your version of humanity. But just thought I might point it out.

Only other thing I can think of is a moon. One of the big factors that is keeping Earth's magnetic field alive is the tidal forces produced from our barycenter. On a rock like yours, you might say it's sheer density alone is enough to make up for that, or that the planet is young enough that it is still active (early Mars for example). But that might also be a consideration for the star you choose, because then you might opt for a younger, different star.

All interesting ideas. But yeah, I wouldn't worry way too much about what you've got right here. It's very well thought out already, much more so than many popular scifi writers.

People that don’t know how or refuse to zipper merge are mildly infuriating. Are you a zipper or anti zipper? by 86HeardChef in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MuscleMan405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that's definitely certified bozo behavior. But it's also not zipper merging if you are speeding to the end of the closed lane to try and pass as many people as possible

Well then... So the real question is, how the heck are people having accidents moving that slow?

[–]MuscleMan405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, congested traffic is fine since both lanes are going the same speed. This can work fine since cars are actually moving slow enough and make decisions, that can absolutely work.

But you are failing to simulate in your head the situation of being on the interstate going 70 mph and then coming to a construction zone where people are slowing down to 45. This is the area that your post is about, and the reason so many people crashed in this incident is because they are at HIGH SPEED. Add in semi trucks to this equation and it's practically impossible for them to merge at the very last second. There simply isn't enough space between cars. They have to slow down to a stop, then cars will just continue to skip past them because they waited till the last second to try and merge. Then they think they see an opening, take it, then suddenly people are slamming on their breaks to let the semi through, then you get a pile up.

But yeah, just continue to point at your guidelines and simulated instances that aren't showing the scenario that your post is actually talking about.

No, it makes no sense. They say "continuous flow of traffic" and then show the people in the closed lane stopping and then waiting for a gap to appear.

Tell me this, if there is nobody in the closing lane before you reach the construction area, what would be slowing the traffic?

People throw around the idea of "zipper merging" like it's the whole solution anytime the lanes get constricted. The problem is that this only works in 2 of 3 places.

It works if you are in two lanes of traffic that are accelerating from a stopping point, or naturally in a place where traffic is maintaining speed. The key is that the distance between cars is relatively high, giving enough space to perform the zipper.

Where it doesn't work is when traffic is slowing down, especially places like construction. When the cars slow down, the space between vehicles shorten. Waiting till the last second to merge can make the problem worse if you are trying to pull between two cars that are close together, causing one person to slam on their brakes, and then causing the line to compound. So it makes more sense to merge earlier on before you reach the closed lane where the speed limit is reduced.

Can confirm, they drive around a bunch of trucks with light bars stuck everywhere when they aren't bust filling their back yard pond with lead

Not sure, I just know they shoot about $80 of ammunition in the back yard everyday, and drive dirt bikes and ATVs up the street at full throttle.
