It would be nice for car keys and other remotes to never run out of battery. This seems like a good convenience technology, assuming it can be brought to market at comparable prices to li ion cells.
There's no danger for an mri unless you've had major surgery involving metal inplants. There's no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.
Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.
Did you even read the article? NPR also published the same format about Trump's convention speech which covered 162 false and misleading statements and is linked in the beginning of this article. Also, if you read the content of this piece, most of the explanations just make Trump look bad.
Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn't people want a performance bump if it's available and they can afford to upgrade?
Caffeine can decrease your saliva production and lead to a dry mouth. If you add any dairy products to your coffee, that can increase your sinus congestion.
I wouldn't worry much about it. Just make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. Getting dehydrated will adversely affect your recovery time.
There is also the issue that if building nuclear plants takes too long and is too expensive to be the solution, then such a project would also be too late to matter. Also transmission losses likely mean this is a solution for much less of the world population than you think. If we had a truly global lossless grid, then we would need much less energy storage to begin with.
Impracticalities aside, absurd geoengineering what-ifs are entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
Pumped hydro is both very geologically limited and environmentally detrimental. That technology alone will not substantially reduce the need for other power storage technologies/ peaker plants.
They should certainly have an input, but their desire to get home quickly might really bias them into taking unnecessary risks. I'm not sure I agree with giving them the final call.
It may sound callous, but the downsides also aren't completely theirs. The death of two astronauts would impact NASA as a whole, and to an extent even the whole US. For NASA it may very well be worth making two people wait another 6 months if it means showing the public that safety comes first.
And what if the two astronauts don't agree? Can they allow 1 to descend solo while the other waits?
Or we should switch to talking about affordability indices rather than inflation. Inflation isn't a particularly informative figure for most people. What people really care about is the purchasing power of their income, not what the change in dollar value is.
Yeah, ten years ago any apartment complex near campus that had undergone any renovations within the prior 15 years was being marketed as "luxury."
Most of them were still cramped places with terrible materials and paper thin walls. The students living in them were frequently heavily dependent of financial aid or their parents had saved diligently for 20 yrs. There were some "elites," but most of them were international students.
The main problem with smoothies is that they make it easy to really overconsume fruit sugars. People generally put way more fruit into a smoothie than they would normally consume in a single sitting. Having some grapes with a salad or a banana with eggs and toast is fine. Dumping a banana, 1 cup berries, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 orange juice, and a teaspoon of honey in a blender then chugging it in the span of a couple minutes is problematic.
