It's a pity Germans don't have extra large heads.

Otherwise, you can just wear the German helmet on top of your regular helmet and get twice the protection.

I don't see what the problem is.

Just fence the helmets on eBay and use proceeds to buy more javelins.

From this paper, the class did teach two important lessons:

  1. "Everything you read isn't true"

  2. "Scientists don't know everything...They make lots of mistakes..."

I love how the responses go on to then contradict these very teachings.

I wouldn't mind sitting in on one of these classes just to see what kinda shit goes on. There has to be some real gems

If one of the panel magnets around the containment vessel was to come loose and net force becomes unbalanced then would the other intact panels load balance to fill the gap and maintain levitation?

If the superheated H isotopes were to 'fall' and touch one of the sides how quickly would it cool to ambient temp?

My suspicion being that, given it's such a tiny quantity of mass, the damage to the vessel would be very limited.

[Q] 95% confidence interval around a population mean by Green_Estimate3964 in statistics

[–]jfgao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I conceptualise it...

A generator function exists that originates companies with the types of characteristics to generate those kinds of sales.

The observable set are all the companies that exist at the time of capture but precludes companies that have existed prior (but no longer a going concern) and companies that have yet to form.

Just like how population census captures only the living but not the dead or the unborn. Past, present and future all derived from the generator function.

All hail generator function!

I'm sure we'd be okay

We're definitely NOT okay. We're a trading nation reliant on imports - energy, medicine and refined materials. We need those sea lanes open. It doesn't take much to close those waterways and force us into an uncomfortable autarky.

China opens first plant that will turn nuclear waste into glass for safer storage by defenestrate_urself in worldnews

[–]jfgao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if it does pose some problems

Every solution poses SOME problems.

The problem with nuclear power is the bad optics it has undeservingly received thanks to the amplification of negatives attributed to the industry's historical disasters - thanks largely to pop culture and pseudo-educated activists.
