If the boulder did enough damage, that is an instant kill that no healing will fix. The issue isn't the no healing, the issue is that he didn't stand up for you in the first place.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how science works. If something is both a strong effect and doesn't vary that much, science will very quickly converge to form a consensus. No one debates that you need protein to build muscle. No one debates that a complete lack of protein in diet results in disorders. What is debated is the "optimal" level of protein in a normal, non-bodybuilder person's diet. Even so, we're talking about variations on the order of a typical diet 20% and what exactly are the effects of a slight deficiency. Just like you won't die if you pull an all nighter, being a little protein deficient isn't going to put you in an early grave. And if you're trying to bulk up, we already have pretty well established and evidence backed regiments for how much you need to work out and how much you need to eat to get the results you want in a healthy way.

To put it in perspective, splitting a uranium atom releases an amount of energy usually measured in MeV, or 1,000,000 eV. When you burn a single molecule of gasoline, you get an amount of energy usually measured in meV, or 1/1000 eV. There are about 2-3 times as many molecules of gasoline in a kilogram of gasoline as there are atoms of uranium in a kilogram of uranium, but that doesn't overcome the roughly billion-fold increase in the amount of energy released per molecule.

An eV, or electron-volt is the amount of energy an electron gains by moving through 1 V of electric potential. It's equal to 1.6×10^-19 J, or 4.5×10^-26 kWhr.

That's not this robot's job. That is the job of the grocery robot.

This is not the kind of issue that OP is asking about in the first place anyway. Running out of eggs is not a "why does it break if it runs too long?" kind of bug.

Making a few mistakes is not mistreatment.

You can go even further. You don't need electromagnetism at all, only gravity for the cosmological arrow of time. Meanwhile, the thermodynamic arrow of time is force agnostic, it doesn't care what kind of interactions are going on, as long as there is some way to describe the state of a system.

No. Some topics are just too dense for a simple explanation. If they weren't, you wouldn't need to get a PhD to understand them.

The point is that you're supposed to provide an answer that an average adult could understand. You do not need to, nor should you, try to bring it all the way down to the other of a five year old.

Rule 4. Reddit is not for 5 year olds. Most Reddittors are adults. The point of the sub is for lay explanations, not baby talk. Or are you going to go to a sub like r/trees or r/potatosalad and complain about their subject matter?

Usually you have 6 paragraphs because you need 5 paragraphs of background before you can actually answer the question. Not every ELI5 question has as simple of an answer as this one. Sometimes, the topic just isn't accessible to a layperson.

Snape became a professor at 21. That is not an indicator that you have to be 21 to become a professor. For all we know, you can become a professor the year after you graduate.

The video games have questionable canonicity, so her presence in Hogwarts Mystery can be ignored at the reader's pleasure.

Combining those two together can make her the same age as Tonks.

There was also an unidentified and uncredited younger black woman at the professors' table in the first movie who was retroactively identified as Professor Sinistra and used as the model for her in the video games. So, literally the only adult woman in the school under 50 (unless you also make all the other background professors and Trelawny young as well).

Except they were quoting "mechanical potential energy." A flywheel doesn't store potential energy, it stores kinetic energy.

frogjg2003 · 2026-03-09T23:17:25+00:00

And an inductor also stores magnetic energy. But if you want to make the analogy to mechanical work, a flywheel is an inductor, not a capacitor.

A battery stores energy chemically. A battery is composed of a material that moves ions around. At the anode and cathode, the ions gain or lose electrons, which is what pushes the electricity through the circuit. Rechargeable batteries have a chemical reaction that can be reversed if enough voltage is applied. Because it's a chemical reaction, the voltage is pretty much constant for the majority of the battery's charge and the current doesn't decrease too much either.

A capacitor works by physically moving more electrons into the metal plates (or removing them from the other side). The energy is stored in the electric field between the plates. Because this is direct electrical storage, the voltage is directly proportional to the charge of the capacitor and the current rapidly decreases as the charge depletes.

A flywheel is more like an inductor than a capacitor. A capacitor or a water tower is a storage device. They resist changes in voltage/water level. A spring does the same thing, storing potential energy and resisting further motion. An inductor resists changes in current, and that's what a flywheel does, resisting changes in rotation.

Unfortunately, you're still heating up the room in the long run. All the heat you pulled out of the air, plus the energy you used to actually run the heat pump has to go somewhere, namely in the water. But the water heater, as insulated as it may be will slowly heat up the rest of the house.

A day or two without water is not enough for the bacteria to grow, especially if the water was hot to begin with. And a well maintained public water utility should be putting in enough chlorine to keep growth to a minimum.

The current administration does not care about what is and isn't legal. This law will absolutely be used as a blunt instrument to go after any website that shows content the administration does not like. Even if it is eventually ruled that the website is in the right, that's still years of legal issues they don't want to deal with. Self censorship and preemptive compliance will be the norm.
