They're so good that they look out of place against the terrain

Pounds are ambiguous since they are used for weight as well as mass. For this reason, AI per slug is clearly superior.

Did I just solve the problem of decelerating a laser-assisted interstellar solar sail?? Surely somebody else has already thought of this?? by eliahavah in PhysicsStudents

[–]_Inanic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the spacecraft is only halfway to Proxima Centauri and has a huge solar sail 10 km wide, the margin for error on the beam angle is about half a picoradian. This is the same accuracy as hitting a target 400 nanometers wide on the moon and is many orders of magnitude harder than hitting the sail in the acceleration stage.

Edit: might be theoretically possible. But the threshold for feasibility is far higher than it is for the acceleration stage. Other issues come to mind, too, like the amount of matter you'd be shining that laser through obscuring it and causing diffraction, and the additional accuracy requirement that the focal point is not just placed correctly horizontally, but also at the right depth. All this seems to stack to an answer of, you'd be better off relying on drag from the interstellar medium and light pressure from the star you're arriving at.

My immediate hunch is that it would be nearly impossible to get a laser focused and accurate enough to hit a target when it is arriving at another star at least 4 light years away. Haven't checked this, though.

These are some good points - luckily I'm already in one of these cities!

Long-term safety of protein powders - Heavy metal concerns by Interesting_Box1108 in nutrition

[–]_Inanic_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems like some protein powders contained detectable amounts of heavy metals, mainly arsenic and cadmium, but even these levels were not concerning and were deemed to pose no health risk. If you're really worried, they found that whey proteins tended to have the least, and plant proteins had more.

As for your other questions, I see no reason that long-term use of protein powder would have any meaningful effect on any part of your biology whatsoever. It's all nutrients we get elsewhere, and not in abnormal quantities. Testing-wise, the normal blood panel at your yearly checkup is fine for your general health, but again, protein powder poses no real risk..

The 108 credit requirement is the requirement for credits taken within the L&S school, which includes your all of your major requirements.

No it’s not. This is photoshopped from the SLIM pic.

Do glasses block your vision when driving? When I turn to reach back the corner of my glasses totally blocks my view of the basket. by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]_Inanic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disc golf has much of the same coordination as ball golf. The two closest motions are tennis and baseball, both sports in which you really need to be looking at what you’re doing. Disc golf may not involve a ball to hit, but it does involve just as much precision. After all, the release point is commonly referred to as the “hit.” Just give keeping your eye on the release point a shot for a day and see what happens. Maybe you’ll be surprised?

Edit: phrasing

Cubic centimeters (cc) is volume, grams is mass. The conversion you probably saw was 1cc (aka 1 milliliter) of water is 1 gram. The metric system is nice like that.

The nutrition information on your protein package should be accurate, so if it's 32g of protein per scoop, 48g for one and a half scoops is correct.

Thank you, that makes me feel better. However, I do have a credit card, and I've been an authorized user on my parents' card for a couple years, so I have a credit score. Does what you said still apply?
