Can’t tell if I’m missing a joke here, but see those two small knife looking protruding from the opposite side (above) where they’re measuring, those are used for measuring internal diameter.
The side they’re using is for outer diameter.
And though you can’t see it in the pic, the thin bit of metal that extends out from the bottom can be used for measuring depth.
How is that relevant to the article?
Russia: a capitalist oligarchy, which hasn’t been communist for 30 years.
Wagner Group: A private military/mercenary group/soldiers for hire.
I’m personally quite interested in Helions design of fusion reactor, whilst I don’t necessarily think they’ll be the first to achieve a design viable of continuous operation, I think the insights gained from the much more complex and expensive “tradition” fusion reactors will hopefully help inform their design and make something viable for smaller scale cheaper operation that could be rolled out on a grander scale.
One thing that is apparent with energy tech is that it always starts out expensive and typically goes down in price due to wide adoption and large scale production.
Re the issues with operating life, etc; there are similar issues with almost every option whether solar/wind etc
Obviously either way we’re going to run into issues with large scale energy storage. Here’s hoping Sodium batteries provide some effective respite for that in the near future.
Though it’s also worth pointing out that Sellafield is Europe’s largest nuclear site and has operated since the 40’s and suffered the disaster in 1957 when reactor design, nuclear safety and safe handling were in their infancy, and the world was just starting to explore harnessing nuclear power generation.
And also to be more relevant to the subject of the article; this is one of the reasons why fusion should be being researched, much lower chance of problems arising from waste/risk of meltdown etc.
Fusion isn’t fission, it could provide relatively cheap and clean nuclear power.
Lmfao, this is a completely nondisruptive protest, it literally does nothing to stop people from getting to work.
In the UK, we’ve been having protests which actively disrupt traffic, which gets people going “why can’t they protest in ways that affect oil refineries/politicians etc” except people were doing that prior with no media coverage, and since having gained media coverage and then doing that, they get criticised for protests targeting politicians…
What this goes to show is that disruptive protesting will get media coverage, and that many people will pay lip service but will inherently lose their shit over people protesting if it even has the slightest chance of disrupting someone’s day.
I mean, you could quite possibly cycle… moreso if you opt to use an electric bike
Out of curiosity how big is your city/your normal commute?
I curious how much people dying of a broken heart plays into that?
My sister whose an MD said it was a known thing that when people get up there in age, it’s not uncommon for someone to pass relatively soon (taking like within 5 years) after their partner passes.
For some people it can be days/weeks if they’re not in good health, for others it can be years.
I think it’s a similar reason to why folks will often struggle with memory after their partner passes; in lifelong partnerships people build shared memories where one half will remember some details which the other half won’t and visa versa. That and the decline in socialisation, human interaction combined with the depression and isolation that follows the passing of a partner.
I’m curious as to whether people who lose their partners whilst still relatively young (40s) experience the same decline in life expectancy, and whether them having children correlates with higher life expectancy or not in those scenarios.
I don’t quite remember what they’re called but in the UK there’s both old mining trains and old cliff trains/trolleys that use toothed wheels and toothed tracks on the hill portions to go up/down hill with little issue, obviously it’s only safe for some gradient, but still with the right gearing it would be of possible
This is mostly just a guess/semi informed attempt at an ID, but I think the dark red/white ones are Earliella scabrosa and the brown one may be in the Genus Microporos or possibly Lentinus brumalis (pictures range from rather similar to quite different, so I’m nowhere near 100% sure)
I think the photo of the gills would likely be the Earliella
I’m not going to make an uneducated guess, but I will say when identifing mushrooms it’s useful to get an overall shot (like you’ve provided), but also a closer shot of the mushrooms and a shot of the underside of the mushroom (where the gills/pores are) as a lot of the key idenfying/differentiating features aren’t super obvious from a distance
Edit: tbh I think you’ve got two distinct mushrooms in the photo; the more red and pale bracket fungus and the more brown and uniform fungus closest to the camera
Edit2: were the mushrooms on stems or were the visible parts in the photo connected directly to the wood?
What is it supposed to be?
I always thought they were ultra fine dust/fibres/particulate that stick to your eye and float around in the fluid?
