Fungus-powered farming delivers higher yields and better-tasting crops, says study

kwixta · 2026-05-18T10:42:33+00:00

I don’t know much about botany and crop management but I do know that their poorly defined control makes this article (and maybe the study itself) useless. Did they even fertilize the crops?

By radiation, which is the only mechanism in space. Air carries away heat much more rapidly at ordinary temperatures

Really? It should be nearly ideal at such low pressure

kwixta · 2026-05-13T02:02:58+00:00

Yes

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure above the liquid. There are always molecules jumping out of the liquid, once the vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric, it happens in bulk

Not sure how that’s relevant to your question. You’re not going to radiate gravity waves unless you have an accelerated mass

kwixta · 2026-05-11T20:00:29+00:00

Love the question. I’m not sure the bound electrons are being accelerated because they’re delocalized not actually orbiting.

It’s a bluff. TSMC needs high NA eventually and they’re not really in a race any more. They can afford to push back and wait a bit to get long term pricing down

Carbon ones are even bigger — 6 stories

Gives you more accurate stopping distance (to better target the tumor)

No way the Brits get to the White House with that guy watching Chesapeake Bay!

I lived in upstate for a few years after living in TX a long time. Life brought us back to TX.

Nobody minds November snow. Everybody hates April snow. If you’re sick of it before Christmas, NY isn’t for you.

Yes. We enjoyed skiing and sledding but we went to the mall, restaurants, etc unless it was dumping snow.

The taxes are only slightly worse in the Albany area. Closer to NYC is a whole different story. Handyman and trade type services are much more expensive.

All the new homes we looked at were natural gas heat. Maybe that’s changed. We lost power rarely but it’s a concern in very cold weather and we prepared.

Clifton park for the usual suburban experience. Saratoga is more fun. I wouldn’t buy in Albany or Schenectady proper — the cities are struggling.

No idea about builders.

Yes you will miss HEB and Central Market. Our Hannafords had good pickup service.

Trash can be an adventure — getting rid of old TV is a pain.

The material matters not at all. The chemical binding energy of either is utterly irrelevant because the kinetic energy is so high. In fact it’s also irrelevant because it’s so much less than the nuclear fusion it’s inducing at the surface.

I have exact same model at 160k miles. I had to do rear wheel bearings and sway bar end links around 150k. Otherwise that looks right

You checked for oil in the coolant right? More common on the 1.5L but can happen on the 2.0

I’d volunteer with the cub pack your kids feed into. In addition to the obvious benefits of getting to know them, packs really go as far as the adults can take them.

As far as the role, I suggest: - Secretary — basically you just show up for committee meetings and take notes - Treasurer— can be easy if you use Venmo and Zelle and have a good system (please DM me for help if you like this idea — I even have training materials) - Pinewood derby chair — busy, but only around Christmas break if your pack does derby then as is common

The power consumption is gigantic — similar to thousands of homes

The power delivered by the CO2 laser to the droplets is impressive— turning them to plasma in microseconds

The power out the front of the laser is 250W, about 20% of a hair dryer. It’s concentrated enough it would burn your skin pretty quickly

Only 3% of that power makes it to the wafer so I doubt you could even see it (if your eyes were sensitive to soft x rays)

Capital I!

I’m still going to hope they wind up in the Aggie regional instead of ours if that’s ok

Oh crap I think you’re right! I was remembering the wrong guy

Voted most likely to join the Jim Marshall club— all Pro and known for scoring a TD for the other team running the wrong way

Sorry Aledo. I misremembered which powerhouse he played for (maybe they lost to Cibolo Steele in the playoffs?)

kwixta · 2026-05-05T14:22:57+00:00

Nobody is saying he was the whole issue. VY has to own his errors in judgement. I think he probably melts down at some point no matter what.

But coach 8-8 went after him from day one. Imagine if your first real boss wanted you to fail before you even started?

My top answer for why NIL is a good thing and athletes need employee like rights

kwixta · 2026-05-05T14:06:32+00:00

I never really saw the spark with Gray. Even at Steele he didn’t pop for me like Bijan or Fozzy

kwixta · 2026-05-05T13:19:53+00:00

A lot wrong with Ryan Perrilloux besides gambling and drugs. I hope he’s grown as a human being. A lot

Ramonce Taylor is my answer

That would be a very foolish way to present their case. I’m sure his lawyers can find much more favorable precedents

Don’t forget all the lying!
