As someone who works in jewelry design, moissanite is far superior to diamond anyway.
Very similar hardness (9.25+ vs 10), but lower value makes moissanite a bit less brittle, less prone to chipping and more durable overall
Higher refractive index (2.65–2.69 vs 2.42), which gives moissanite more brilliance and sparkle compared to diamonds
Lower Abbe number. It means that moissanite tends to disperse light into colors more than diamond, giving moissanite more fiery or rainbow colors
Usually lab-produced, so much more ethical in general, and much higher clarity on average
It’s waaay cheaper
So for anyone going for a diamond ring, I suggest trying moissanite instead. The only thing that diamond has going for it in this comparison is just decades-long PR. It’s not even a fun gem chemistry-wise, it’s just carbon. Moissanite, on the other hand, is SiC :)
I know that it’s right wing, but I haven’t heard much about what Italy’s new government has actually been doing for the last year or so. Do you have any specific examples of damaging policies/laws? Or something that’s planned to take effect?
Haha, I know. But its mostly laziness, like if I need a new tab I just open one, and since it doesn't lag I don't care. I do save quite a lot though when I go through them and I refer or look up quite a few afterwards. So, ¯(ツ)/¯
Pretty much, but they aim to have a continuos range, so they might be able to keep improving the information density by having more accurate readouts across that range.
To save you a click, they used new material combination, thin films of hafnium oxide connected by barium bridges, to create a memory storage device that can encode states in between 0 and 1 to increase possible information density.
Also, the horizon line on their logo looked like a hair on my phone screen and it bugged me the whole time I was reading the article. I accidentally clicked on it trying to swipe it off the first time.
Yeah, this reads like such a nothingburger I don’t see why it’s news. Yeah, they didn’t add enough filters, but fixed it as soon as it was pointed out. Why continue the outrage?
I don’t know your personal experience and how dangerous it was in regards to temperature, but high temperature environments start feeling pretty humid at like 50%, so you still pretty much need an actual temperature/humidity reading to gauge it correctly.
So guys, take it to the scientists :) I’m not talking out of my ass here, rather quoting research data. There are a couple dozen papers listed in the link above, and most seem to agree on the dangerous temp region. Read their methodology and reasoning if you’re interested to learn more.
I’m really bad at closing tabs because I’m either lazy or think I might need them later, which leads to my safari window having like 1000–1500 tabs open by the time I decide to sort through them and save/close some stuff. I also never close the app itself, it stays open for months.
Well, people do die in saunas. More often than you might think. And those who can sit through 20 minutes are usually already accustomed to them, it’s not like people can sit for a long time the first time. Stick an unprepared elderly person there and it’s often not going to end well.
Also, right after intense sauna sessions (and in between as well) people dunk themselves into very cold plunge pools or snowdrifts to quickly cool off.
And you got the temperature/humidity ratios wrong. 100% humidity is used in a hammam, a Turkish-style steam room, and those are kept at around 45-55C. Russian saunas never exceed 90%, most are kept at around 70%.
Have you been to one and looked at the hydrometer? It’s really hard to raise the humidity above 70–80%, and the usual for most people 1-2 ladles per 10 mins barely raises the humidity above 60%.
What do you mean by “too many too quickly”? If it’s about immigrants, I don’t see how it’s actually relevant here. Police attacks mentioned in the article (and that were happening in general) were against black/minority French citizens, not newly taken in immigrants. Plus the police force itself doesn’t consist of immigrants.
And Europeans becoming poorer is a wealth redistribution problem first and foremost (with an aging population sprinkled in).
Sure, there are shitty people amongst immigrants, but in a similar proportion to the amount of shitty people in general. It’s not the reason. Kinda looks like shifting the blame.
