Those would be harder too though. Right now we humans don’t have a material strong enough and the higher the gravity the stronger the material you would need.

Yeah that’s pretty misleading. The regional offices are being replaced with 15 state-based offices.

Same with the research program.

“The consolidation of research stations does not mean a retreat from the agency’s research mission,” Mr. Schultz said in the email. “Forest Service R&D has produced world-class science for over a century, and that will continue. The consolidation is about organizing the research enterprise more efficiently, not diminishing it.”

Well it’s interesting that it makes regular ringing/metallic sounds when it’s dropped(at least in the movies), so it is not inelastic. Which means it could be deformed if placed under extreme force but it would always spring back into shape. So I think it might be the world’s most powerful spring.

Part of that is probably all his apps got nuked?

Became concerned

I’d put “hypothetical aliens listening to our radio transmissions won’t know what our vaginas sound like” preeeety far down my list of concerns but you do you, king

Oh true!

They’re the coefficients of a quadratic equation! Y = ax^2 + bx + c

That’s cool, but I’m sure it broke the relationship between ip addresses. Like it would be hard to tell if 1 IP was 1 higher or lower than another/ in the same /28 subnet, etc

Bro where do you even get all of these weird diagrams

That is very impressive! Although to be honest I question the accuracy of all those estimated power draws. I would be interested to see an endurance test of your battery- assuming your battery capacity is accurate, your runtime on a full charge should line up with your power draw.

I mean that’s of the ethenet capable ones… a huge chunk are still serial

Just my perspective as a controls (SCADA engineer):

I work for a large power company. We have close to 100 sites, each with hundreds of IP devices, and have never had a problem with ipv4. Especially when im out in the field I love being able to check IPs, calculate gateways, etc at a glance. Ipv6 is just completely freaking unreadable.

I see the value of outward-facing ipv6 devices (i.e. devices on the internet), considering we are out of ipv4s. But I don’t see why we have to convert private networks to ipv6. Put more bluntly: at least industry, it just isn’t gonna happen for decades (if it ever does). Unless you need more IPs it’s just worse to work with. And there’s a huge amount of inertia- got one singular device that doesn’t talk ipv6 at a given generation site? What are you supposed to do?

Millibeads

You say this like it isn’t basically guaranteed to happen at some point if GRRM doesn’t finish it.

Nah that’s pretty weird I’ve not heard of that before. I’ve snagged a fair number and still got them as far as I can tell.

Can you actually get a degree in rocket science? I feel like the closest would be aerospace engineering.

Haha yeah I’ve picked up on that. Oh well

It’s an analogy bro

If there’s an otherwise g rated movie with ten minutes of full frontal nudity and hard-core sex what rating do you think that movie is gonna get?
