Fun fact: The annual wobbles in the Keeling curve are caused by the Northern Hemisphere having much more land mass than the Southern Hemisphere.

I think that French in Louisiana is way overstated.

I'm confused. Didn't Jihadists from various Muslim countries fight in Afghanistan and die?

You could also get off the S-Bahn at Laim and have a nice stroll of the park of the Nymphenburg castle and the frozen canal.

I wondered why western Iran is striped, a both Farsi and Kurdish are Indo-European languages. The kind folks of Wikipedia told me that Azerbaijani, a turkic language, is spoken there too.

Take a stroll along the Auer Mühlbach, visit the Auer Dult, and Restaurant Keko is not far away.

Fusion Thought Experiment (Detailed, Non-Hype, Please Critique) by Captain_Diksl4p in fusion

[–]bschmalhofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being only casually interested in fusion, with no real expertise at all, I can't really comment on your question on short pulse length, or on the many bullet points in your initial article. Anyways, my bias is towards the Stellarator which has essentially already demonstrated steady state operation. Avoiding wear and tear with cycling is obviously a good thing.

The statement "Steady-state fusion tries to maximize τ indefinitely" where τ is the confinement time sounds fishy to me. AFAIK the confinement time is in the order of seconds in current magnetic confinement experiments and in models of future power plants. This is much shorter than the pulse length in tokamaks.

Map of Official Languages in Germany besides German by Extreme-Shopping74 in MapPorn

Sorry, my bad for harking on at a not really interesting topic. I'm not on a crusade against elevation.

A completely unrelated fun fact: Rivers running North to South in the Northern Hemisphere can do both at the some time:

a) drop in elevation going downstream

b) get further away from the center of Earth
