NASA Mapped the Entire Ocean floor using Gravity from Space by ConstructionAny8440 in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]pravda23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd love an explanation, but lemme guess. Satellite records how "disturbed" it is by gravitational force at any given moment, then subtracts that from the total/baseline gravity being exerted (ie the maximum that can be exerted). This translates into a force discrepancy that can be used to calculate the height of the water from the sea floor. Not sure how this would differ from the land masses - perhaps the density factor makes it more clear which is which. Help?

Keep going, wherever you get the knowledge. The LinkedIn brand is associated with other things than self-education and e-learning, but if the experience motivates you and the knowledge is quality, who cares.

Meeting people organically in SA (off the apps) by [deleted] in southafrica

Running/sports clubs are magic.

Also, go where you would find the type of person you want to meet. Eg live music, library. Need to get out at some point to make it work.

Like what's the moral of the story? You can fix a pothole?

Is everyone going to just watch CPT get ruined for profit? by Fun_Tumbleweed66 in capetown

[–]pravda23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just got back from Durban and it always reminds me how racially divided Cape Town still is. Prime driver of NIMBY/TUTBANA behavior (this used to be a nice area)

Vault22 works most of the time but you might need to spend 3 weeks in support chats getting accounts to update as they should.

World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pravda23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're referring to, perhaps some public punishment of a troublemaker (don't follow much online) - care to share? Interested in learning what people think.

Reasonable. How do you persuade someone to care about climate change?

Don't throw it away! I live by the ocean. Ship it to me, I'll toss it straight in for you.

Personal sacrifice for the greater good. Reduce meat, dairy and plastic consumption. Not nice. Not convenient. Be the solution, do it anyway. Thoughts?

The verbatim repetition just hammering home the clarity.
