The Eurofighter’s prettier, estranged cousin

What about the Eurofighter?

At a cursory glance the Arab plan for Gaza doesn’t sound terrible. It proposes deploying UN peacekeepers for security. It won’t be enacted of course because Israel and the US don’t like it.

I’ve found it can break things in some apps as well as not look nice (Spotify wrapped, McDonald’s app purchase loading, minor things I know)

Flares are related to the complex magnetic fields of stars. Since red dwarfs are more compact, I can imagine that the magnetic field also being more compact will result in it being more messy, especially if its strength doesn’t scale with the star’s size. The more chaotic magnetic field would result in more flares/more violent flares.

It’s just a bad headline, I think it’s on highway G318 in Tibet, so you might be able to see Everest from there but you’re probably not starting a hike from the charging station.

It’s on the Tibetan side of Everest, and it reads like it’s on China National Highway 318 (G318 on Google maps), which is actually really not very close to Everest but I guess it’s the nearest main route on the northern side. Totally misleading headline. The average elevation of the Tibetan plateau is 4500m so the actual headline is “china builds an EV charging station on a main road in Tibet”. The base camps that most international travellers use are on the Nepalese side.

You don’t need to put it in the gear opposite to the direction it’ll roll. Generally you want to put it in the gear with the lowest ratio (which in my car I think is first), as that will require the most amount of force to turn the engine. But also some engines shouldn’t be rotated backwards because that might damage them. So that would mean put it in first facing downhill or reverse facing uphill.

You can’t really grow the same crop in the same field season after season (without fertiliser), because they’ll sap the specific nutrients they need from the soil. If you do that over and over eventually the soil wont have any food for that crop. Growing something different each season that takes different nutrients from the soil lets it recover the other ones. I don’t know how it recovers on its own, circle of life stuff probably. Modern farming can cheat by artificially replenishing the nutrients with fertiliser.

He was, and was part of the reason remain failed because they thought it would be an easy win

What about soft cheeses like brie and camembert?

Interesting, fair enough, that makes sense. So your receiver was getting a 5.1 signal, but it really did just ignore half the channels when you set it to output 2.1.

That’s not the problem I think most people here are complaining about though, which is sound mixing / dynamic range / editing making speech too quiet, rather than having the wrong settings.

I don’t think missing channels get muted, they just get shared into what’s available. A 5.1 soundtrack played on a 2.1 system is going to share Centre between L and R, and put SL onto L and SR onto R. I have an old surround sound system that can’t decode the new codecs that Disney plus etc use, but the Chromecast knows this so just sends it out a 2 channel boring signal. Dialogue is fine because it just goes to the two speakers equally, rather than be cut out. If your system is set up to output to 5.1 speakers but you just haven’t plugged in the centre speaker, then that’s a different thing and you would miss stuff, same as if you didn’t plug in the front left speaker.

I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it’s not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn’t go up in the same way.

I too watched veritasium today

They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.
