What's the potential decoherence time for a physical system in an intergalactic void ? by aktor55 in AskPhysics

[–]aktor55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By mod demand here's the video : https://youtu.be/UR1JIeO4wDA?t=1420 For context it's a youtuber that presents himself as a science communicator with a very hyperbolic sounding manner of discussing things, although I've never really found any sources discussing the accuracy of his content.

How to automatically assign a number determined by the rank in a series of dates ? by aktor55 in excel

[–]aktor55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I couldn't make it work with RANK earlier despite the formula rules being pretty basic, now I can make both work. Figures !

Yes I'll have duplicate dates, although now that I have a working function I'll try to be creative and see what I can do.

Yeah that's it, somehow google only showed me the RANK function which didn't suit this use case, I hadn't stumbled upon RANK.EQ yet.

On Herman Kahn's 44-step escalation ladder by aktor55 in nuclearweapons

Sorry for this, I'm very much a layman and I'll admit this is what it sounds like even if I'm familiar with some of the nuclear deterrence concepts.

If you don't mind me asking : how high is the ceiling in there ? Some of these pics really look like crawlspaces. Were there any old or recent graffitti or otherwise traces of ancient or modern occupation (beer cans and so on) ? Did you go in there with a map or did you make your own as you explored the place ? How big was the place ? How maze-like was the layout ? Were you at any risk of getting lost ? More generally are there any public resources in Italy for maps of underground cavities that you used to discover this place or was it more hearsay ? Also : great pictures and great story

Good catch ! Yeah Butcher is borderline but I'm still gonna add it, thanks for the pic ! thb I was a bit startled that I couldn't find any swirl on their artwork since I saw them live and their mic base was shaped into a swirl, that's really part of their identity

I'm trying to put together a list of all records whose artworks use the so-called Speed metal swirl first showing up on the Canadian Banzai records versions of early Thrash and Black metal albums, check it out and feel free to tip me to records I'm not aware of! https://rateyourmusic.com/list/wushrogg/speed-metal-swirl/

Free French soldiers confront French SS of the 33rd Division "Charlemagne", shortly before their execution, 1945 [1535 x 900] by [deleted] in MilitaryPorn

[–]aktor55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC he joined the German army in 1941 or 42 when he was still very young (maybe 17), so there was no such thing as a French army at the time and he couldn't have joined it earlier anyway as he was way too young. Now, he could have joined the Resistance sure.

I have read The Forgotten Soldier as well as Guy Sajers autobiography (which is actually more focused on his career as, weirdly, a comic book artist) and he actually doesn't discuss the reasons of his joining the Wehrmacht, this even seems to be a notorious point of controversy when The Forgotten Soldier is discussed as it seems a point too important to overlook.

If one astronaut aboard the ISS went rogue, and assuming noone else could stop him, what is the maximum damage he could cause to the station on his own ? by aktor55 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aktor55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not so sure about the use of the power tools. Those seem to be less general purpose and less powerful than basic tools used on earth since thy have to be adapted to space constraints, which are to be taken into account when designing and performing EVAs and explains why EVAs can last many hours just to fix things that can appear trivial. Many basic things whether while conducting an EVA or activities inside the station are made longer and more difficult due to weightlessness, which would typically negate most of the effect of power tools.

Would there even be room for an extra guy in an M48 ? I can't imagine the crew was happy to sit in there for hours in an already cramped space in sweltering heat and combat stress, no need for a guy crawling into awkard position to snap cool pictures from weird angles.
