What if you have a big Twitter following and ask them to do it?

W7-X is a stellarator [1], and ITER is a tokamak [2]. They are two different approaches to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

CO2 is used in greenhouse farming to increase produce yield. The CO2 gets turned into vegetables. Unfortunately the CO2 will eventually be released again, after the vegetables are eaten.

I usually see constants that are easier to read like 0xdeadbeef, 0x0c0ffee0 or 0xcafecafe

I definitely didn't get any "woah time has flown by" from any of these questions. I remembered the correct year for all of them except for the cassette tape which was made decades before I was born. I guessed the early 80ies, thinking of the Walkman, turns out that came out in 1979.

I think so too. I'm in my thirties and have lived in three different countries in the last four years. Time feels really linear and it doesn't feel like n months/years have flown by.

I try to always do new things so I don't wake up one day with ten years flown past me.

That's the way to do it. It's easier said than done to stick to just the alarm when the phone is already in your hand with an active display. Especially if you have new notifications.

Do you use a dedicated alarm clock? I use the alarm on my phone, so the first thing I do in the morning is look at my phone to turn off the alarm.

If you don't do it our funding will be cut and we'll have to power you down.

It's a silver hat used in religious rituals, the bowl goes on your head. The names on the side are religious figures, gods and priests.

Go to Oslo, seems like it's night and snowing there..

I'd ask the AI to go to work for me, then I'd go hiking in the mountains.

Look at the table, non of the words are literally "huh", but they convey the same meaning. The title is confusing, I had the same thought as you at first.

I don't think he does. He says "If we get technology to go at speed of light", "at speed of light" the speed of light is 1c.

His previous sentence also makes no sense

> To put some thing in perspective. If we get an instant teleport technology to go there tomorrow, it will be a planet that had passed 5 times more time then we know since our humanity almost went extinct 60k years ago.

The light we see from the planet is 3000 years old not 5 times 60k. Space is big, but not as big as OP seems to think. The diameter of the Milky Way is only 150,000–180,000 light-years light years. All the exoplanets we have detected are within the Milky Way.

>If we get technology to go at speed of light we'll get there in 300k years

Light takes 3000 years to travel 3000 light-years, not 300k years

We could detect oxygen in the atmosphere, which could indicate life, as oxygen will rapidly disappear from the atmosphere through oxidation without life resupplying it. I don't think we have any built or planned telescopes that can detect oxygen 3000 light years away though. This article[1] discusses detecting oxygen in the atmosphere of exoplanets 5 pc away, about 16 light years, using the James Web space telescope that is yet to be launched.

Pine nuts a delicious, especially in salads and it's one of the main ingredients in pesto.

That's called Minutes[1] and is super helpful to have.

Google translate is correct. I was going to make the same comment, the article is talking about ICU patients and does not mention if they were intubated or not. The 175 patients in the study might not have been put on ventilators, the article does not specify!

I hope they actually separate the cycle path from the road with a physical barrier and not just a yellow line like the photo in the article.

Drinking with children present is taboo but not illegal. So that kind of makes sense if they have nosy neighbors.

Oslo is very liberal when it comes to public drinking. It's not uncommon to get fined for drinking in parks in other cities in Norway. I've only heard of someone getting arrested for it once though, and that was because he refused to pour out the beer when requested by a police officer and chugged it instead.

That doesn't sound right. You are allowed to drink beer on your own property, or in bars. You are not allowed to drink beer in public spaces, but the police will enforce that differently depending on the region.

In Norway you can get up to 6 months in prison for selling alcohol that is over 60% ethanol by volume. Up to 2 years if the offense is "particularly serious".

Looks like you're right surgical masks does give the wearer some protection.

Thanks, figure 5 is especially interesting since it implies it gives the wearer of surgical masks some protection.

Are n95 masks considered basic? I would think a basic face mask refers to something like a surgical mask, which doesn't protect the wearer but protects others from getting infected by droplets from the wearer.

If you are looking at the mortality rate of CORVID-19 by age group you should do the same for the common seasonal flu. The 2018-2019 flu had a mortality rate of 0.0018% in the US for ages 18-49[0]. CORVID-19 is then 0.2%/0.0018% = 111.11 times more deadly for people ages 18-49 than the last seasons flu.

[0] https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html 1.8 deaths per 100000 is 0.0018%

According to Gunter's space[1] they use kerosene and liquid oxygen (LOX) as propellant and oxidizer. According to this 2004 ESA study[2] "the most promising green propellant combinations considering toxicity, launcher aspects, storability, technology seems to be LOX-kerosene and LOX-propane". I don't know about the environmental impact of debris from a failed launch though.
