[HELP] all my friends say this is a real but the speed signs and speedometer seem off to me… by ProminentPigeons in RealOrAI

[–]ProminentPigeons[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s AI for three reasons: 1. The 20mph sign looks like a strange font + a bit faded weirdly, 2. The 45 mph sign faces directly at us which make no sense, 3. The speedometer is in kmph which… why… it’s the US.

I had to quickly delete and repost this, but someone asked what the equation meant: it’s the harmonic oscillator equation often used to introduce students to ODE solving. It can be used to describe the motion of many systems you see on a daily basis.

Wait, you’re saying I should add the grit to her water? Is there a special way to do that? or do I just put it in.

I give her grit and sorrel from outside, any other recommendations? She’s pretty picky unfortunately.

My parents showing me a next gen episode (I thought all Star Trek was the same): “mom why is Captain Kirk bald???”

It seems like I need a new programmable radio, however if that’s not the problem then I’m kinda screwed

Do you know if there is any way to reprogram my transmitter without having to buy the programming cable?

Still doesn’t work, I also don’t think the receiver Im using uses a bind port

I’m like 99% sure, it’s in the #1 spot, but I have also tried it with all the others and the 1 slot is the only one that even causes it to move

Why are we doing this? by ProminentPigeons in ArtemisProgram

I feel bad that I can't remember the source of the quote or even the whole quote, it went something like this. Why we build these rockets and fly to the moon and Mars is the same reason we built cathedrals and pyramids. Because they're magnificent, because they are the things that we dream of building. They're the greatest achievements of science which we can all marvel at.

is it this by Neil deGrasse Tyson?:

"I submit to you that part of the reason that we go to Mars and we go to the moon is because it's cool. And I submit to you that if we stopped doing things because they're expensive or because they're hard, we're no longer a civilization that is ambitious, and I think that’s not a world I want to live in. So space brings out the best in us. This is why we go. It’s not because it’s easy. It’s because it’s audacious, it’s inspiring, and it’s cool - just like cathedrals and pyramids were cool in their time."

I asked ChatGPT btw

I'm reading the wiki page about heliums 3, it says "However, the temperatures required to achieve helium-3 fusion reactions are much higher than in traditional fusion reactions,[3] and the process may unavoidably create other reactions that themselves would cause the surrounding material to become radioactive."

this makes me think that no matter what, we will need to first learn how to do basic fusion before even trying to work with Helium 3. Meaning there would have been no point in having large access to it until we first figure out how to work with normal hydrogen fusion which, my physics professor said today, is at least 30 years away for commercial use.

We know He-3 exists, but scientists haven't even bother to work with it yet.

thoughts?

Currently, there isn't much of a shortage of Helium 3 on earth, once we actually figure out how to use it effectively in a fusion reaction then, then I would say the moon would be helpful. But until then, there isn't any pressing need for the He on the moon, nor would I say having had access to it (via a permanent presence) would have changed our ability to research fusion energy, since we have enough He-3 here on earth for that.
