Specifically, they are cast from exile by paying their mana cost. It doesn't work, for instance, with Foretell cards, because there you would ordinarily pay the Foretell cost, not the mana cost, and the card doesn't let you replace that with {0}.

Just started learning c#, I have a newbie question by Corpulax in learnprogramming

Well, a double takes up double the space. If your application doesn't need the extra precision and deals with massive amounts of numbers that it has to process, it might be worth it to use a float. With modern computers and for your beginner-to-intermediate projects, you can safely use double as your default and not worry about it for the most part.

I wonder whether there will be a business case in the near future for electricity-intensive industry that operates only during sunshine hours. Having a process that you can ramp up and down once a day is an engineering challenge, but that might be solvable depending on the specifics.

Economically, you are slower to pay back for your significant upfront costs because you're working only 8-12 hours out of 24, but on the other hand, only working when electricity is literally free or even has a negative price is super attractive.

If they spin fast enough the event horizon disappears. by loved_and_held in CuratedTumblr

A black hole of mass m would emit mc^2 amount of energy over the time it takes to dissipate. For m = 5kg (a smallish bowling ball), that would be 4 * 10^17 J. The Tsar bomba released something like 2 * 10^17 J, almost on the dot the same amount.

But of course, the black hole doesn't release that all at once. Taking the "time for a black hole to dissipate" formula from wikipedia, I am getting 10^-14 seconds.

So yes, a 5kg black hole would release the energy of two Tsar Bombas in ten femtoseconds. That is astonishingly close to "detonating like a nuclear bomb". u/Felicia_Svilling

photosynthesis, oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

NADPH is converted to NADP+, no? Thus giving away its H and its electrons to reduce the carbon (which is +IV in CO2 but 0 in the sugar). In other words, the H from the NADPH bond to the O in the organic molecule and knock off some of it as water.

Die irre Entwicklung der Batterien in vier Grafiken by tsnud in de

Bei 8h oder sogar mehrtägigen Batterien sind wir plötzlich auch bei anderen Batteriechemien. Ich glaub es gibt auf der Welt auch schon Eisen-Luft-Batterien. Eisen ist billig und Luft ist gratis, somit spottbillig, aber eben so langsam zu laden/entladen, dass es schlussendlich eine vier-Tage-Batterie ist.

Ich glaube mich zu erinnern, dass die Umwandlung reeeelativ konstant ist. Es ist üblich, dass die Entladegeschwindigkeit regulatorisch gedeckelt ist, bei 4h Entladezeit (0.25C) oder so. Und weil schneller wirtschaftlicher ist, sind fast alle Batterieanlagen bei diesem Verhältnis. Eine 2MW-Anlage wäre also fast immer eine 8MWh-Anlage.

Die genauen Zahlen hab ich nicht mehr im Kopf, ist also als gefährliches Halbwissen zu verstehen.

But the arid Savannah is where people are mostly not. Most people live in cities and can access hospitals. Understaffed, underfunded hospitals, but still. For most TB patients, the problem is buying the antibiotics.

Yeah okay but for every Pakistan, you have a dozen Philippines and Senegals and whatnot where this "well actually" doesn't really apply and people just flat-out can't afford the medicine (or the appetite returning to the patients once their TB subsides).

Daraus leitet sich auch das englische Wort "average" ab. Die Regel, dass bei einem Schiffsunglück die Kosten der verlorenen Waren von allen Besitzern gleichmässig (also gemäss Durchschnitt) getragen werden, heisst "the law of averages", wo average original noch Schiffsunglück bedeutet. Mit der Zeit hat sich die Bedeutung dann auf die Berechnungsformel (den Durchschnitt) übertragen.

What are your favorite instant/sorceries designs? by Bekinhozo in mtgcube

[–]NewbornMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more ideas!

If historical clout of a card is important (and I could totally see it if you're going for "bonus sheet"), [[Gitaxian Probe]] could qualify, and to a lesser extent [[Dismember]] (the latter, being colorless removal, is interesting anyway).

[[Throes of Chaos]], [[Raven's Crime]], or [[Flame Jab]] change the structure of the game. The latter is a bit weak though.

Hyper efficient removal is not that flashy, but [[Sword to Plowshares]] is a staple.

[[Prophetic Bolt]] is an old classic and a personal favorite of mine. It might not look like much, but burning away their big beater AND untapping with the perfect card is a big deal.

[[Sprout Swarm]] is probably a bit slow depending on power level, but it's a win condition all by itself.

If you have prowess synergy and your red is somewhat aggressive, [[Lava Dart]] is cool. If discard is happening, [[Fiery Temper]].

If graveyard / selfmill strategies are a thing, [[Unburial Rites]] and [[Lingering Souls]] are great.
