The quantities would be tiny compared to simple evaporation.

I've never quite understood what these are for...

"He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy."

Everyone knows where it's from.

❗️The fields on the front are covered with fiber optics. Pokrovsk direction

A 3DP able to do 20 micron resin now, and maybe down to 1 in the future

Just pointing out the direction we're heading...

Philomena Cunk y el nihilismo:

"The reality could not be further from the truth."

This is REALLY CLEVER. Reverse osmosis desalination using the pressure at the bottom of the ocean. Sea water is 2.5% denser than fresh, so the fresh water just flows up the output pipe on its own*.

RepRap Pioneer Returns With a DIY 3D Printer That Hits Micro-Level Precision A new RepRap 3D printer that its creator endearingly calls "the next small thing" was presented at Fab25, and its timing is impeccable.

I now have truck nerds yelling at me because I like trains and train nerds yelling at me because I like trucks.

*AHEM*

the answer is to do both. you can do both. bruh.

This first prototype achieves 20 microns. Recall that the original Z80 processor was manufactured using a 4 micron process...

Car batteries drop to 90% of their range after about 320,000 kilometers.

The average internal combustion engine engine fails completely around 320,000 kilometers.

The electric car is still working after that, of course...

Maybe a completely blank placard protest to see what happens?

Remember that Ukraine gave up its 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads* in return for a security guarantee from the US, the UK (and Russia...) in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Offline: “Laughing at the Italians” A former minister for health in England wrote to me that “The COVID-19 inquiry will make us the laughing stock in the eyes of the world.” But it is worse than that. The level of criminal incompetence ...

"The level of criminal incompetence exposed by recent witnesses to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry ... has proven that many, if not most, of over 230,000 deaths were preventable." - The Lancet

One person is responsible: Boris Johnson.

Imagine being a barn owl before the invention of barns

I once created an NFT of a single black pixel, thinking of every time anything black appeared in any image.

I just don't know what to do with all the money. The family are moving it about the place in wheelbarrows. Grandson is lying on it laughing and throwing it up in the air like Scrooge McDuck.

Watching Oppenheimer for the first time, and someone mentions black holes. But they weren't called that back then. They were called frozen stars.

Don't really understand this. If I live in, say, the Western Interconnection area presumably I can buy electricity from any supplier in that area. They might be 1,000 km away. Or maybe not. If not, why not?

A man in Edinburgh is wearing a t-shirt that says: "I would challenge you to a battle of wits but I see you are unarmed" - William Shakespeare. I need him to know that isn't a real Shakespeare quote and it's ruined my day.

Stirling use of the Latin for "with" here...

😜😂😂😂😂

At least the Nazis copied the classical Roman and Greek aesthetic, and not that of Ali G.

Or at all...
