I think the most likely case for sedimentary deposition over ice would be something like volcanic eruption or an impact event redepositing material onto pre-existing ice.
I could go either way on hand-soldering a single assembly. But doing this more than once would be torturous. I can only go so many days carefully monitoring diet and minimizing stimulant intake to minimize associated…
Because I desperately want to make my own (and maybe modify it a bit to fit my own hardware biases), I found the repo for the hardware: https://github.com/jagnat/fib_quintant_minimizer It would be really neat if the…
I'll bet there's some creative board layout so that the relevant controller IC and supporting passives can be soldered onto the back of one of the 5, then have solder jumpers or some such to actually connect it into the…
>It's much more difficult to buy the ESP32 as an MCU than it is to buy it as a SBC, with ports for power and I/O already on a PCB (often with through pins, to land on another PCB, like the arduino hats). And I don't…
I'm not claiming that people instinctively prefer anything. I'm saying that they've been socialized to believe that "traditional" architecture is some indicator of societal excellence. I don't think its weird that…
Next thing you're gonna tell me that English speakers overwhelmingly prefer novels written in English. Cultures have visual languages just the same as they have written and spoken (and signed) languages. The crucifix…
Put another way, while their positions are one set of 3 points, their momenta are another set of 3 points, and there is no requirement that 6 points will always lay on the same plane. I wonder what phantom forces would…
I used to work with several Apple MEs, and one EE, when they moved to the startup I was at. They were all very skilled and pragmatic engineers. While there is some tribal knowledge benefits to getting really fluent with…
I've no idea if they still do it, or if this was an option open to the general public or if it was a special thing for our group, but once upon a time, in my early teens, I got to tour NIST's test reactor in Boulder,…
Are you thinking that mushroom foraging is just like going to the store, and there are no experiential benefits from actually going out to look? Would you characterize beekeeping as nuts? Too many bee stings in a…
Are you this actively shitty towards all hobbies you don't also enjoy? People have been foraging for mushrooms for literally thousands of years, but mushroom cultivation is pretty recent, and the overwhelming majority…
Depends on how many times you get rape and/or death threats from unhinged audience members who went to surprising and horrifying lengths to figure out your identity. Obviously, we cannot wholly bar these jack wagons…
More than one art installation has been a simple depiction of the clothes worn by victims during their rapes. You should look it up. My daughters have dealt with sexual harassment. Should I tell them to dress less…
>Women just need to deal with it. Assume that whenever you're in a public place, ALL your actions are PUBLIC. A women (and men) should dress and talk in a way conducive to the public arena. People have been the subject…
I mean, if you'd asked law makers in 1850 if we needed speed limits on the roads between towns, you'd be laughed out of the room. Does that mean we shouldn't have speed limits? Or does that mean that nobody in power…
As I recall, the main issue with that was that because it used facial recognition, the labor burden of enforcing that was significantly lower. If its just human beings looking at every visitor and trying to decide if…
Almost as if there's a limit to how many demands strangers can reasonably place on a person before we as a society agree that the person should put up boundaries (like, say, putting on headphones and outright ignoring…
Well, no. First, increased demand drives increased prices. This is the least controversial axiom of modern economic theory. So if you add a huge power consumer to a market, all consumers in that market will have to pay…
Or maybe the problem is that exchanging labor for scarce necessities only makes sense when labor itself is scarce.
I had a similar experience playing, of all things Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. You play as a variety of US Marines helping Russia defend some island from a Chinese invasion so as to control some recently…
Questions like "how would you search for a substring?" are so incredibly dependent on what you're doing on a day-to-day basis, and what you're doing with the data once you've split it. Just because .split(...) is in all…
My point is that American suburbs are so aggressively designed for cars that even considerable cost and inconvenience (driving 30-40 minutes) is acceptable in the face of much MUCH lower prices (even if the prices are…
The funny thing about the big box stores is that they can apply so much pressure to their suppliers (and their landlords) that the price difference outstrips differences in quality and convenience. Once upon a time I…
I'd go further and say that modern suburbs are designed to completely isolate commerce from residence, in a way that doesn't just necessitate driving, it necessitates driving long distances to centralized commercial…
