I think an additional effect is that, the drop in pressure causes any liquids exposed to it to vaporise, which is an exothermic process, and it’s a race to see whether it boils off entirely or the inner part freezes to solid from the drop in temperature through conduction. So the immediate surface of your body would either dry out or flash freeze but the inner part take a while to solidify.
Why there is any ice in space and it doesn’t just sublimate away over time I’m not sure.
I can pop my ears whenever I want, like someone else mentioned. Handy on flights, but I haven’t been able to teach my kids how. If I forget to blink for a bit and then blink involuntarily when my eyes itch, my jaw snaps shut also involuntarily, causing my teeth to snap together. I can roll my tongue, which is apparently a genetic thing. I can hear high frequency sounds, like bats, and rodent repellents. It can be painfully loud when noone else around me can hear them, so they have a degree of disbelief if I mention it.
Think they meant run Windows in a VM if you need it
This was 30 years ago. I was from Australia. The night is still a clear memory to me. I had a choice and thought, well if I’m going to get drunk for the first time in my life, why not do it in a country where alcohol is illegal? At least I’ll have a story to tell.
My father worked in Saudi Arabia, and I was visiting on school holidays. They had brewed wine and gin on site and I had enough to get drunk for the first time in my life at 17. I had to talk to my father and pretend I wasn’t drunk. Apparently it worked as he has never mentioned it. I climbed up a water tower, and we got spotted doing that, and not realising my brother was snogging the girl I fancied while we did it. Then a girl I’d barely spoken to cornered me and wanted to know who I fancied, I asked what that meant and she said who would I kiss. I said I’d never kissed anyone, and she kissed me, then left without another word. I left the country the next day.
Amazing that with a battle involving thousands of soldiers, over a number of hours, with cannons and horses and 1500 prisoners taken and only 27 deaths.
Can almost hear what they’re saying. I wonder if it would be possible to lip read or if it would be too unreliable.
By thunder… My new favourite exclamation
Ah right. So, an alternative to dark energy and dark mass?
So I wonder, even if it’s only appearing very briefly it’s still going to exert some small gravitational effect. And who is to say the density of quantum foam is perfectly evenly distributed through the universe, within, through and between galaxies? Could this be an alternative explanation to dark matter?
I’ve seen some fake fireplaces that use steam and lights to look like fire, you could use steam from waste heat from the fusion reactor?
Plasma for fusion is at insane temperature and pressure to make fusion possible, to overcome the repulsive force that keeps protons apart by sheer velocity of the colliding nuclei. So you wouldn’t have that kind of plasma in a fireplace generally. But you can get room temperature plasma today without fusion, look up plasma balls… That could make a cool (but not fire-like) fireplace, if it could be engineered into another form factor
It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it’s the part that feels things i can’t explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it’s perfectly conscious just not verbal.
I expect that’s due to the 30% cut taken on subscriptions purchased through the app store
This one? https://github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated It has an ingest folder you can drop all your books into and it’ll ingest and process them over time, if that’s of interest
