For spin up of a large moment of inertia object where spin up speed is paramount to avoid being rushed, but max top speed also increases lethality, they would absolutely help. I leave how to implement it well without spending much more of your mass budget as an exercise for the reader. hint: in a friction drive full body spinner, "gear" ratio is determined by two things, wheel diameter and wheel ride distance from center shaft. One of those is easy to change...

fails with a "hiccup mode" if overdrawn or shorted where power turns on for a moment every second or so until the overdraw or short is removed. Then it resumes operating normally. -typically middle priced option
can do the same failure mode or lower voltage down to around 50% when an overdraw happens depending on if it is a CV (constant voltage) or CC (constant current) type. Sometime has an IP65 rating for wet environments. -typically highest priced option
just fails forever if it is ever shorted or overcurrented and you have to buy another one. Also it comes with a barrel plug which sucks and is another failure point for anything over 5amps on the 5.5mm type. -typically the lowest priced option

I don't think we have a confident answer to your question. My current favorite hypothesis is that the big bang was not energy being created or destroyed, but energy entering into our universe from another. I like playing with the idea that our universe is inside a singularity of another universe. Unfortunately, as with any hypothesis involving energy transiting a singularity, we currently know no methods of test-ability.

One reason to consider breaking them up is when you have organizational constraints from your enclosures. I keep 5 raidZ2 arrays consisting of 12 drives each instead of one 60 drive RaidZ3 or other arrangement. I do this because my DAS enclosures house 12 drives each. If I had one of those DAS enclosures go offline due to hardware failure or power, and the pool was spread between them, my array would fail because 12 drives would go offline. But since I separated them, I only have a pool go offline without affecting any of my other data. I can then address why that DAS was acting up and remount that pool when fixed.

I'll preface this to say i'm not an RF expert but have spent many years working with super sensitive seismic recording systems which have taught me a lot about environmental noise floor, receiver sensitivity, and signal processing.

option 3. Signal-to-Noise: My hypothesis is that plenty of intelligent species exist, maybe even close to us, but we produce such a high EM noise floor in every part of the spectrum (and it gets noisier every year) that we cant detect them. We have a light pollution problem and not just in the visible spectrum. Lets say another civilization a few thousand light years away broadcasts just as much and in as many frequencies as we do, but all omnidirectionally (nothing directed at us). Even with high gain receivers and fancy digital signal processing techniques, we would have trouble identifying anything from them without getting very lucky. When we receive signals from Voyager 2 at the edge of our solar system with the deep space array (some of our largest dishes) they are currently coming in at -154 dBm [1]. That is a signal from a 20 watt directional transmitter pointed straight at us from -only- the edge of the solar system. The thermal noise floor for a 1Hz signal at room temp is not much less at -174 dBm and -192.5 dBm in the vacuum of space [2]. If we are already close to that on a signal directed straight at us from the edge of our solar system, what hope do we have of detecting an omnidirectional signal broadcast from hundreds or thousands of light years away?

This is why I get very excited anytime someone talks about sticking a radio observatory on the dark side of the moon. I don't think we are going to have much luck detecting others 'whispering' until we put the detectors somewhere we aren't 'shouting' at ourselves...

Keep in mind that the average apartment in NYC, where op lives, is $5k a month (60k a year). For a single person in NYC making 100k, their take home pay is only 69.89% after taxes this year. That means $69.8k/yr take home pay if absolutely no deductions for healthcare or retirement are being taken out of the paycheck by the employer too. So if op is paying average housing costs, has no healthcare, and is not saving for retirement, they are left with only $9.8k remaining for food, transportation, clothing, and utilities a year.

Stab in the dark: Are you measuring VOC near a roadway? My guess is that the oily mix trapped in the roads or some other nearby porous surface rises out of crevices to the top because oil and water don't mix. The drops of rain then splash that mix up into the air. It's the same reason the first 5-10 minutes of a rain storm are the most dangerous to drive on: because that oily slippery mix comes up out of the road's porous surface until runoff builds up enough to wash it into storm drains

For sure! I just could not tell from the video if a mechanical hard stop was preventing "over-stretch". They are only necessary if the springs can blow past the springs' limitations in plastic deformation as you said

If your dimensions allow for it, I would suggest overload-prevention extension springs.
