This guy was in a remote controlled, parachute equipped gondola at 17km altitude wearing a pressurized suite. His suit broke and even though the emergency descent of the gondola was immediately activated to descend safely, he later died from embolism (bubbles forming in the blood because of rapidly decreasing pressure). Passenger jets cruise at about 11km so i gather it would be similar.
OpenWRT does not use liblzma or systemd so i think that one is pretty safe. I would also be surprised if Android included OpenSSH server binaries in that way.
In terms of modern shells being more complex in general: yes and no. modern shells pretty much always use some kind of electronic fusing, sometimes multiple kinds of electronic fuses. back then they had bombs, mines and grenades with literal clockwork inside and electronics was still very rare. also fuses and primary charges were not easy to produce reliably.
There has been some fusor research going on for decades. The issue that killed that direction of fusion research was ultimately that the electrons do not behave as the initial simple models suggested and in the real world the power loss from the fast electrons is just too big for any reasonably sized device to allow for self sustaining fusion.
Not as long as OPs but has some real goodies.
Indeed. atetheonion might contain a bunch of idiocy, but i would not be offended by being included there just because i was sceptical of something.
downvote for lack of feathers. smh.
that sounds almost exactly like the Reichsbürger in Germany. They also claim the current German state is actually just a corporation and the laws of the German empire are somehow still applicable. They also create their own passports. And of course they are deeply interconnected with Neo-nazis.
you mean turing complete?
oh i must have missed a few orders of magnitude there. 6Mt of helium is a ridiculous amount though … what is all that used for? according to WA that is about the water volume of the three gorges dam at STP
Edit: just read the report, wow, more than a quarter of all the helium is used just for “breathing mixes” which i assume means its for scuba diving.
from the wiki article on Helium:
an estimated 3000 metric tons of helium are generated per year throughout the lithosphere.
I think the main issue here is not that we are loosing helium on a planetary scale but that the easy to reach helium from gas wells is wasted. We will never run out of helium at our current rate of consumption before the sun goes nova, if we consider all sources on earth, but it will get a lot more expensive and the supply will get less steady.
most dishwasher detergent formulations contain corrosion inhibitors for steel, some even contain corrosion inhibitors for aluminium though those are usually in the upper price segment.
I think what he was trying to point out is that you should not expect a direct visible effect of the dwindling funds on the events on the battlefield. It will be much more indirect and delayed by month, maybe years.
I mean sure but on the other hand the Ukrainians have modern radar so this is a bit surprising still.
I think it went a bit further than just selecting the right paint.
I remember there was a program to enhance the stealth for relatively low flying surveillance aircraft (still mostly propeller aircraft at that time) and one of the most effective measures was painting the underside of the plane White and then illuminating it on purpose with a light that was matched to the sky. The light was usually bluish to match the sky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi_lights
The reason why this was not simply done at night was of course that the surveillance equipment needed some light to work :)
i searched for the exact phrase used “robot which uses plasma torches” and found a few news articles for a start-up that uses such a concept in commercial tunnel drilling.
so i guess we do have tunneling robots that use plasma torches.
i did not see any text that mentioned the guided variant but i saw a video that showed supposedly a UA gunner in a PzH2000 with a programming adapter on a shell like they are used with Vulcano ammo. (looks like a round copper ziggurat)
Edit: just read the description of those shells by the manufacturer and i i think i misunderstood programmable shell to mean guided shell. the programming could also be for setting the fuse.
They have guided Vulcano ammo in that caliber too.
trilateration actually (0_0)
