  • I disagree. I told my wife to "calm down" once, and it worked perfectly. She went from emotional to very calm and focused.

    It might have been at the incongruity that I would actually dare say that, or just the time for her incandescent rage to move to fully focusing on me, but she DID calm down (for 2-3 seconds).

  • USA visa application is hellish.

    Login is convoluted, and breaks password managers.

    It has a global time out somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes.

    On timeout, it lets you work, until you try and go to the next page, then just forgets you exist rather than saving.

    You can't save pages that aren't completely filled in.

    Some pages can take 20 minutes to fill in (it gets detailed, and you dare not mess it up).

    Oh, and it breaks pasting into some boxes, so no prewriting it in another document.

  • Looking back at the history of England. We have had wave after wave of immigrants/invaders. Each wave brought a period of tension. That period was followed by a period of innovation.

    The new people, with new views means old ideas are re-evaluated. New skill, flavours and modes of thought became part of our culture.

    Even our language improved. Part of English's power is the level of nuance with word choice. A loft of that comes from melding multiple root languages in.

  • They are goons, but programmed goons. If you play to the programming then you will get their desired response. By forcing them outside their programming, they have to improvise.

    The smarter ones realise shooting first is a bad idea, politically. The stupider ones just want out, and notice the smarter ones seem similarly inclined.

    Staying within the programming is a lose-lose situation for the protestors. You need to get outside the patterns to get new results.

    It's also worth noting that this is a very American thing, not a universal one. Your police are very broken, and in desperate need of an overhaul.

  • For that to work, you need enough firepower to actually win. Anything short, and it will be a bloodbath, on your side.

    By approaching while very obviously not being a threat, it jamms their training, and forces them to think. Once they are thinking, they likely REALLY don't want to be the ones to start shooting at American protesters.

  • I'll check it out, next time I get a chance to fire it up. Unfortunately, I hate the teleport mechanism of vr games. I love hurtling through the water. Unfortunately, that also makes me motion sickness. I'm slowly training myself out of it, but it takes time.

  • It depends how often you drive without the kids.

    If you don't always drop the kids off yourself, it's easy to get half way to work on autopilot before realising you meant to drop them off.

    Sleep deprivation is a weird thing.

  • As a parent myself, I'm now doubly amazed at how few cases of forgetting happen. It's so easy to do, and your brain is reduced to blomonge by sleep deprivation.

    FYI, the "baby on board" signs aren't generally meant as "don't crash into me" signs, but "assume the driver is drunk and distracted" signs. Having been there, I try and give them plenty of space!

  • It was even worse than that.

    They were basically given the KSP1 codebase and told to rewrite it to be better. However, KSP1 was still being developed, and they didn't want to demotivate the KSP1 team. Therefore they were banned from even telling them it existed, let alone ask for help or advice with the existing codebase.

  • That phase does end. The various vehicles allowed for exploration without returning to the surface, as do deep sea bases.

    At the same time, I fully understand why you feel that way. The crunch is required for the fear to be meaningful, it's not everybody's cup of tea.

  • You're on Lemmy, so I'm assuming you're of a geeky mentality. If so, a local hackspace/hackerspace/makerspace would be a good bet.

    On paper, my local one is a communal collection of tools we can all use. In practice however, it's an excellent social group for fellow weirdos. We just also have some really fun toys to use, when we need them.

    It's not fully inclusive of all of them, but a good starting point.

  • Its part of iterative improvement. The resonance causes the beam to spread out, which both makes getting results harder and losing more particles in route. The resonance is caused by the magnets used being imperfect.

    The point of the article is they have created a model that predicts these resonances accurately. This will be of limited benefit to them, though it will help clean up some data. The big advantage for future constructions is by knowing how the field becomes imperfect, measures can be taken to correct for it. This will make future particle accelerators better. The same problem will occur in larger fusion reactors. By studying this now, they can be improved before they are even built.
