That’s small enough. They evaporate quicker the smaller they are

The centripetal force is provided by your legs (and the spokes of the centrifuge)

You’re looking for inertia or the fictitious force (which makes the calculations easier): centrifugal acceleration

Bottle rather than cup, the water is more directed

You are likely right. Dog shaped but cat related

It’s exactly 1cm short, oddly wrong

I have had that experience, then I realised I used oauth on that site. CTRL+refreshed the page and it did the auto login. No idea how I got a log in prompt that one time; probably clicked login before the page finished loading

The site had disabled password login for users who had changed to oauth

When one provides correction for someone is much better to do that than to reply “*whose”

You don’t need to read it if you don’t want to

Many of those will progress to password even if the user doesn’t exist

I found all of them

Edit to add: thank you for an hour of fun

Funnily enough loads of places had plans to get off fossil fuels a couple of decades ago, but those were squashed by conservative politics because they were seen as “green”

I wonder whether they would have been more successful had they been done for energy security instead

It’s a shame that they last so much better than internal combustion cars, if more people replaced them every two years like they do for ICE vehicles there would be many more on the second hand market

As it is now second hand EVs are barely cheaper than new

And sometimes just about anything in Unicode and a few that aren’t

I have done the romance bits with all of them. Lae’zel is the most fun, Gale is the sexiest, Shadow is all promise then cut to the morning after

Wouldn’t those people want to see above the clouds? When they invent flight they’ll see above the clouds and might want to get higher

Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle’s Footfall had that as a plot point. The youth of the alien invaders who were born on the ship and had never lived on a planet disagreed with the others about invading Earth as the stuff they need can more easily be found on Saturn’s moons

If you have a species that doesn’t feel a drive to explore they would never leave the place they evolved, then they would be at high risk of extinction when their climate changed with plate tectonics

And perhaps it’s the drive to explore that has humans exploring ideas

Maybe you need to be like us to get into space

It’s not convincing because it’s impossible to hide. You always produce waste heat which would be visible (if you use 100W of solar power, you dissipate 100W in deep infra red into space)

We would expect to see stars putting out an amount of energy for a bright star, but in deep IR as they’re wrapped in Dyson spheres or swarms

All the “might” and “may” in articles about that planet makes me suspicious that the artists impression above will turn out to not be at all correct except for the depicted size

The people on the plane are supported by the Earth’s air, the people in orbit are falling and are unsupported

People in modern 5 star cars can expect to walk away from collisions that will kill everyone in a 1980s car

And I mean walk. They will have no injuries worse than bruising

Though the trucks often have the same tech, so they don’t suffer much more
